Adventurer's Log



The Adventurer's Log is a members-only feature of the RuneScape website that has been officially released. It contains many functions that a player might find useful, including recent activity, quests recently completed, skills recently trained, and even notable drops recently obtained or unlocking music milestones (for example, unlocking a player's 500th song).

Players do not have to log in onto the RuneScape website to use Adventurer's Log, unless they wish to see their friend's recent activities.

Pre release
The Adventurer's log was first hinted at during a Q&A between players and Jagex staff posted on the forums.

Leak
On the 26 October 2009, an article appeared in the Knowledge Base called "Adventurer's Log", which was listed under "Customer Support & Other". It was later removed from the "Community" Tab, but it could still be accessed by the manipulation of a link. All profiles of Jagex Moderators were already set to private. The page could still be seen by a few players that had the URL because of players posting the link in the RuneScape Forums, but all links were shortly removed by Jagex Moderators. During several periods of the day it was being tested, the web page still had existed but retained no coding.

Mod Kat commented on the forums on the same day to say that Jagex had quietly released it to make sure that it was working properly, and then they subsequently removed access to it after they found out it was functioning properly.

Beta version
On 27 October 2009, Mod Seb had confirmed on the RuneScape Forums that the Adventurer's Log was currently in beta.

On 28 October 2009, the Adventurer's Log stopped working and instead gave the message: ''This account either does not exist or has never logged in to RuneScape. Please check the account name and try again.'' whenever a player's username was searched. This glitch was fixed a few hours later.

Official release
Officially, the feature was released on 18 November 2009, but the feature still only for members as of now.

"Friends' Recent Events"
According to the Adventurer's Log manual:


 * The list of recent events covers 10 of your friends.
 * Though the Manual says "20", only 10 friends events are shown in the window. As of 14 November 2009, this discrepancy has as yet to be corrected in the Manual.
 * Friends that are ranked highest in the Clan Chat are placed at the top of the "Friends' Recent Events" list.
 * Those who change their own individual setting to "Private" will not have their achievements noted on any log (see the Settings section below.)
 * To "bump folks down the list," one may remove friends they would like on the log from their friends list, and then re-add them; thus bumping players players are not so interested in down the pile. One may also re-rank them lower in Clan Chat.
 * If players do not have many folks in their Clan Chat of high rank, then the list will be composed of their 10 highest ranked friends, and then of their most recently added friends.

Milestones
There are different kinds of milestones that will appear in both "My Recent Events" and in "Friends' Recent Events":


 * Quest complete: &lt;quest&gt;
 * &lt;n&gt; Quest points obtained (every 10 quest points)
 * Levelled up &lt;skill&gt; (whenever a skill is levelled)
 * &lt;n&gt; total levels gained (every 100 levels)
 * Every 2,000,000 experience trained after 99 (starting at 14,000,000 experience)
 * Levelled all skills over &lt;n&gt; (based on the level of the lowest skill)
 * I killed &lt;player&gt;
 * I killed &lt;monster&gt;
 * Item found: &lt;item&gt;
 * Number songs unlocked (every 50 songs)
 * Defeat a Champion in the Champions' Challenge
 * Completing a holiday event.
 * All skills over 99.
 * Maximum total levels gained.

Settings
Individual players may change who can see their log by clicking on the "Settings" button. The available options are:


 * Public: Everyone can see your log.
 * Friends: Only your friends can see your log.

Players who have been banned, or who are not currently members, will not show on any log.

Trivia

 * If someone has not had any recent events, their recent events section will say "I don't have any recent events yet. I need to do more adventuring."
 * Normally when levelling up, the message "I've reached level __ in the ______ skill." appeared in your Adventurer's Log, but since 1 February 2010, it gives the message "I levelled my ______ skill, I am now level __. ".
