What makes a chronological ESO guide easy to follow?
I’m putting together a color-coded progression guide for ESO and want it to be easy to scan. What should I check before sharing it?

Give every color a clear label in a legend, and don’t rely on color alone. Add short text labels or numbers too, so the sequence still makes sense for someone who can’t easily tell the colors apart.
Keep the steps in a consistent layout. If readers have to guess whether to follow a row, column, or color first, the guide will be harder to use.
If the guide includes different kinds of content, separate them with headings or labels. That helps readers tell the main progression from optional activities without implying that every item is required.
A small note explaining how to read the order would also help. Make clear whether it’s a suggested sequence or a strict set of steps.
Try the guide with someone who hasn’t seen it before. Ask them to find where to start and what comes next without explaining the layout. Any hesitation will show you where labels or spacing need work.
It can also help to include a compact overview at the top, then put extra details beside the relevant steps instead of crowding the whole sequence.
