That's all I have for the moment, though I'm sure I'll come across more, likely soon. Any help someone could provide would be very much appreciated.

If you took the time to read all of this I'm glad, considering they are burning questions.

If I get answers to these questions I'll add the answers (with credit) to the OP and request that it be stickied as I think these are helpful beginner guides for those new to the game.

And again, I'm sorry for the rant :/
