A guide becomes risky when it relies on a specific reward, value, timing, ranking, or route assumption that has changed. Process advice lasts longer than exact meta claims.
If an update touches the same crop, pet, mutation, code reward, or event route, read the update before trusting the older guide.
Older guides can still teach the decision process. Treat exact rankings and route picks as weaker until current update context confirms them.
