Graphical updates

Warning: may cause Lag.''
 * ''This article contains comparisons of the old and new look of NPC's, monsters, areas, items and interfaces. For comparisons of animations, see Graphical improvements/Animations.

Graphical improvements are graphical updates of non-player characters, monsters, areas, items, interfaces, etc. A notable graphic improvement update is the release of RuneScape High Detail that took place on 1 July 2008, where major changes over the previous detail modes were numerous. Many, though smaller, graphical updates to various things on RuneScape happened after that. NPCs or monsters featured in a newly released quest, for example, may receive an improvement to their look. This could also happen in an update that has nothing to do with the updated creature. Jagex also frequently releases Animation Packs, in which various items and their animations may be updated. Remember that this page contains graphical improvements, and not SD → HD comparisons.

Some major graphics changes to various things are listed below, with left of the arrow the old, and the updated look to the right (Before → After). Holding your cursor on an image pop-ups a message with more information, such as dates at the Interface section.
