Stats and Applications

Written by Jeremy on May 17th 2008, 1:45AM

As you may or may not have noticed, there has been a pretty revolutionary update on Runescape Community. You'll notice that any member who has their Runescape name in their profile has a button to the left of their post that says their Runescape name. Clicking this button will display the stats of that Runescape character in a signature-like format on the right side of your browser. In addition to just displaying stats, clicking on any one of the stats will show a graph of the training of the stat through time, provided the character was updated on the stat histories. To close the stats, click the "Close" button at the top left of the image.

In addition to the stats displayed on Runescape Community, our Runescape Stat Histories have also been updated. Aside from the aforementioned signature picture being added to the top left of the page, there has been a button to the right of the Runescape name () that will set the current username displayed to the default username accessed when going to the stat histories. I encourage you to check them out!

In other news, we've closed our applications for the Zybez Content Team, Zybez Blogs, and Zybez Radio. We are anticipating to announce the accepted Blog and Content Team applicants Monday. To see the DJs we have accepted and congratulate them, check out this topic on Runescape Community. Hop on over to the Zybez Radio now to catch one of our newest DJs trying out their new job!

Don't forget to check out upcoming Zybez Events. Zybez Events - as well as privately hosted events - can be found in the Events board at Runescape Community. You can also keep an eye peeled on the ticker at the top of every Zybez page to see upcoming events as well as other important Zybez news.

Finally, the Blog team has been putting a lot of work into keeping up with new articles for your enjoyment. Have you been reading the blogs? If you haven't already given them a shot, go ahead and check out the Zybez Blogs for information on opinions on the updates and aspects of Runescape, as well as Zybez news and interviews from our very own Runescape Community staff.

Miscellaneous Runescape Guides Update!

Written by Ben_Goten78 on April 29th 2008, 6:49AM

Following on from our improvements to the Runescape Quest, City and Guild guides made over the past year, we are proud to unveil our newly revamped Runescape Miscellaneous Guides!

The makeover took about a month or so, and included:

1. The index page has been redesigned to categorise our guides. Each category has a short animation beside it to help you pinpoint which category a guide you're looking for may be found in. Further to this, we've also added descriptions to each guide on the index. The categories have been ordered based on statistics of how often they're visited, so you'll find the most commonly used guides closer to the top.
2. A search engine has also been added here to help you find something within the contents of a guide or in its name. You'll also notice stars beside each guide's title. The gold ones represent members only guides while the silver ones represent F2P guides.
3. The content of all the guides has been thoroughly revised and updated to ultimately ensure they're cleaner, more comprehensive, coherent and easier to follow.
4. Special notice and information styles have been added to many of the guides to indicate a very important note or warning.
5. The titles, FAQ and tables of contents have been re-styled site-wide along with the new font we've slowly been changing over to, Lucida Sans Unicode. These styles have been applied to all other areas of content as well to increase uniformity throughout Zybez.
6. Monster entries in these guides are now being pulled automatically from the database (as we did with the shops in City and Guild guides), so they'll always be up to date. We also pulled the calculators for each of the monsters, so you'll be able to calculate how much XP per hour you gain on a certain monster without needing to leave the guide.

Enjoy our new and improved Runescape Miscellaneous Guides!

Plenty of Updates

Written by Tzu Men on April 27th 2008, 4:30PM

Greetings! For those of you who haven't yet done the Legacy of Seergaze quest, go check it out. In this quest we return to the struggle of the Myreque against the evil that looms over Morytania. For Runecrafters especially the rewards are great, as during the quest you unearth the Blood Altar and discover the Blood Talisman.

Our Treasure Trail Help guide was also updated to include the new riddles, anagrams and other clues that were released recently. The rewards section has also had the new items such as Top hats and canes added.

If some of you haven't noticed the Fist of Guthix mini game guide was released earlier this month as well. The guide offers detailed advice for both aspects of the frantic game, suggesting equipment and strategies open to all players. The guide also covers information on the helpful robes, gloves and other equipment offered as a reward for collecting the most charges.

The Runescape Item Database has also received an update. If you haven't seen already, there's a new "Dropped by" field in most entries. This shows the first 15 lowest-combat level monsters that drop the item you're vieiwng. The list can be expanded as well so that you can see all of the related monsters in detail within the Monster database. This should make it easy for you to single out the ideal target for you to train on when gathering charms or even when slaying for rare drops.

Summoning and Runescape Events

Written by Jeremy on April 2nd 2008, 5:34AM

On top of pranking out on April Fools, we've had a lot of work to do with these recent Runescape updates.

The Summoning skill guide has been updated including most of the changes to the skill. The Summoning Calculator has been updated as well. Our Runescape Item Database has also been updated to reflect the summoning changes. If you notice any problems with any of these additions, people be sure to submit a correction!

Our Runescape Videos section has been thriving immensely. We have nearly a thousand videos so far in our database for your enjoyment. We urge you to continue sending us your videos and to continue watching others', there are some pretty good ones in there!

Runescape Videos isn't our only user interactive feature. With the listener cap recently being upgraded to 200 listeners, Zybez Radio has been growing beyond belief. Shortly after the cap was raised, we had 200 listeners tuning in. Go check out the radio and join in the fun at the shoutbox; there are members there chatting away all the time. Remember to check a DJ's playlist before you request a song though, we can't play what we don't have!

In other news, the Gatherings subforum of Events has been merged with the main Events board. Check out this topic to see exactly what changes have been made and how they will change the way you post events.

Speaking of events, the Zybez Events Team is having more and more members to attend their events all the time. I hosted another King Black Dragon event that lasted for a whopping 11 hours! We received a total of 8 dragon medium helmets and lots of other fun loot. For more information on the old King Black Dragon event, click here. Remember not to be intimidated by this event, as so many people come that you're practically guaranteed not to die, no matter what your level is.

The next King Black Dragon event will be held on April 14th. For more information on that, go here. Karll is hosting a Members Vs. Staff event on April 5th. Also, be sure to check out the teams for the Zybez Clan Wars event. The time has yet to be announced but you should receive messages from your team leaders and start collaborating tactics soon. Keep your eyes peeled in the Runescape Events forum and the Zybez News Ticker to see when the next Zybez Events are going to be held.

I know we keep telling you this, but I promise that very soon we will have two updates that I believe you will enjoy a lot. They're getting closer to completion so be on the lookout for an update.
