Adventurer's Log



The Adventurer's Log is a members-only feature of the RuneScape website. 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. Achievements such as a player's 500th song being unlocked and comparisons of a player's stats are both features which can be found in an Adventurer's Log.

If a player wants to see either in-game time, change their privacy settings or see their friends recent events, they will need to log into the webpage and click on account managment under the account button on the top of the webpage. Also, if the player has their privacy settings set to either friends or private, they will need to log into the webpage.

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 is 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 down the pile players whom the player is not so interested in. 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.

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.
 * Private: Only you can see your log.

Players who have been banned, or who are not currently members, will not show on any log. The log initally suffered from performance issues, usually resulting in an error message or very slow page loads. As of August 2010 the performance issues have been solved and the log is responsive.

Quest Complete
A list of what the Adventurers Log says when you complete a quest can be found at Adventurer's Log/Quest complete

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."
 * If a player achieves something as a non-member, if they subscribe that will not appear in their adventurer's log.
 * 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 __. ".
 * After a rollback, (most notably the one that occurred on 14 April 2010) you may find your Adventurer's Log to be extremely out of order. Your last achievement may display a level earned long ago, or an achievement from someone else's Adventurer's Log.
 * There was a glitch where all player's Adventurer's Log was switched with another random player. This has now fixed. AL fail.png
 * The icon on the agility skill shows the form of the original logo but isn't white, it's the same colour as the one currently on the new style of the logo. Hiscores is also the same.
 * If you search many names that do not exist or have ever logged in to RuneScape it will disable you from searching any more logs for a set period of time.
