*In the Keys. Getting to this when I can.*

Pretty please?

Alright, I was going through the quest guides earlier today, thinking that I'd be able to go through them quickly and make some minor edits and I'll be done.

But, I was wrong XD I need your help.

We have a LOT of quest guides that need updating. For most of them, it's simply grammatical errors and missing pictures, but for certain ones like The Tourist Trap, they need to be completely re-done.

I'm using this post to keep track of all the guides that need updating, have been updated but need revision, have been completely updated, and have been uploaded and completed.

Text in the spoiler tags contains submissions for editting, along with the name of the submittor.

When a picture is to be added along with a block of text, the corresponding text is to be placed BEFORE the picture. Save all pictures as .png files!

When revising a quest guide, the General Information (the lines you see at the top of the guide) should be in this format:

Key:
Has yet to be reviewed
Needs updating

Land Of The Goblins

General Information

Learning The Ropes
Quite frankly, I believe that we shouldn't make a quest guide for this. The whole point to this is to teach new players how to play when the first start RuneScape, and we shouldn't ruin it for them.

Legend's Quest

The only possible thing that could need changing is that a few of the images (the text-screens and herbs) are out of date. They're perfectly fine as they are for now, but if anyone wants to retake them then they're more than welcome to.

I am also in the process of writing a compilation of "Tips And Tricks" (similar to those I wrote for the Horror Of The Deep quest back in '05) for all the quest guides that will be submitted after revision is complete. If you would like to send me your tips and tricks that you learned while doing certain quests, please submit them to me via PM and I will give you credit. Thank you! =D>

I hope you don't mind, but I edited all the quests currently in color to link to their respective guides; this makes it easier for people to see just what's outdated.
Oh, I also added notes for all f2p quests. ^_^

Ive been neglecting to do Fight Arena, so ill get some new pictures.
Edit:Here they are, I edited them into the current guide.

Hidden:

Hope that works for you. I can change a few more things if needed.

Blackmage172 · **Posted:** June 7th, 2008, 7:51 pm

Looks great, thank you

A few things though:
-Add in the levels of the monsters you fight (I should have made that clearer; my bad)
-Number the steps
-Add in the quest length

Blackmage172 · **Posted:** June 7th, 2008, 8:02 pm

Thank you! I'll attach it to the main page and revise it later.

Winterfresh · **Posted:** June 7th, 2008, 11:44 pm

I'm working on some of the F2Ps... Right now nearly finished Demon Slayer and gonna start Cook after..

Sweep · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 12:29 am

Will do Scorpion Catcher.

Kikori · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 1:04 am

Black Knight's Fortress - I'll get to it on Kikori Rogue.
Demon Slayer - I posted in the website submissions & corrections forum to help this along some time ago.
Dragon Slayer - Will be gotten to on Kikori Rogue.
Ernest the Chicken - It won't be too late to get a few new pictures, despite having done the quest. I'll work on it.
Goblin Diplomacy - It's too late for me to get pictures, but I can check general information.

Donut Juice · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 5:50 am

Again, great idea, Black!

The current amount of submissions is superb.

I'll try to update your changes today, Toa. You did a great job. ^_^

sammich · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 10:49 am

il take on scorpion catcher

Kikori · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 2:03 pm

I'll just tackle the whole f2p lineup, at least what I can. If nothing else I'll make an account to re-do some quests for more pictures.

As I looked through the list, I had a few problems, though....

Black Knight's Fortress
The guide list says you must be able to kill black knights. Wrong. You only have to be able to survive

Doric's Quest, An Enlightened Journey, The Feud, The Golem, The Great Brain Robbery, Heros Quest, The Holy Grail, Legend's Quest, The Path of Glouphrie, A Soul's Bane
Shouldn't the quest names appear exactly as they are in Runescape? I doubt Doric's Quest is labelled "Doric's" in the list (just like Hero's and Legend's missing "Quest"), and if you're willing to have "A tail of two cats" instead of "Tail of two cats, A", you should be willing to let the A's, An's, and The's rest at the front of other quest names.

Troll Stronghold
The reward isn't a law talisman anymore. That got changed. It's 10,000 XP. point lamps now.

For the record kik, I've been training an account to do this myself for over a month. I'm really just waiting for the graphics update so we have nice pictures.

Tanksandguns · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 3:29 pm

Well, since my TV's not working, I'll get started on the F2P Quests. I'll start with Demon Slayer.

PM Kikori Kid or Goten, cuz they said they'd do it before you.

Tanksandguns · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 3:42 pm

Yeah, I just noticed that, I'll do Imp Catcher instead.

Edit- Other places to kill Imps, Falador, Port Sarim, and Draynor Village.

Quest Start-

Also, if someone could explain to me why my pics always do that^^ I'd appreciate it.

Kikori · **Posted:** June 8th, 2008, 6:34 pm

When you crop the picture, you leave a horrible amount of white space. That makes the picture a thumbnail when hosted, and you copy the thumbnail link.

And I already have a whole re-write of this guide in the website submissions & corrections forum, so pictures for Demon Slayer can go there.

Actually Black, I said I would do it before anyone...

Sweet! I have many, I just gotta crop them right!

Kikori · **Posted:** June 9th, 2008, 1:10 am

I just found out the Black Knight's Fortress reward picture is outdated.

I've got about 20 pictures I need to host tomorrow. And like 50 for my random event guide. Tomorrow's gonna suck. :cry:

Remember, we just need the text and the 'reward image' (image found to the right of the scroll), not the actual scroll itself.

Winterfresh · **Posted:** June 9th, 2008, 11:17 am

I'll get to cropping my pictures right now, expect them posted in.. a few days 8-[
