Today's Monster Examines (21 new monsters)
1. He changes level (put them both in please, we don't need another Arzinian situation that the crew refuses to fix :P) 2. Scabarites Oh, by the way, the amount the scarab gets damaged by is: lowest steam setting - 1 second lowest - 35 second highest - 70 highest - 105 Technically a quest update but I notice you never put in the above info... It should be: Allocating power here damages the scarab by 1 at the lowest steam setting, 35 at the next, 70 at the next, and 105 at the highest.

[DONE] Icthlarin's Little Helper
There are 4 guardians that can be fought in Icthlarin's Little Helper, which one is decided by the randomly chosen jar you get during the quest. Unfortunately, only one of these monsters is actually in the Bestiary! Here are links to the monsters' bestiary entries on my website (saves me time re-posting it all); I give you full permission to use any textual data from there to aid in creating the entries for Tip.It. I shall get you pictures later if you like, though they won't be HD ones. Het Apmeken Crondis Scabaras NOTE: Though you have an entry for Crondis already, please go over it as there is incorrect/missing information (combat level, examine info). Additionally, you might want to update the quest guide with this information as well - especially the jar info (see the "Notes" field of my bestiary entries). Here are the above monsters' monster examine proofs:

(DONE) Baby red dragons have Level 48
DARK!!! You have the combat levels switched now, haha! :lol: And you forgot to blank out the drops for the level 65 [ http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?r ... er_id=1166 ]. Also *remove* "Often trained on for prayer xp. Happy slaying but watch out for their mothers!" from that entry. Also (excuse the pun and overuse of "also"), this entry does not need the word "ALSO". It can only be added in a POH dungeon - not also.

July 1: Graphics Updates
Also, when taking pictures, turn dynamic lighting OFF in addition to max brightness as dynamic lighting not only darkens your game screen in some places, but your inventory as well. I think this only happens in non-fullscreen mode, but it's there.

Behind The Scenes July
Same thing you said. :)

Jagex to Lower the Highscore Rank Limit?
I definitely agree it should show ALL levels and ranks, even those at level 1 with no XP. As previously mentioned, all it does is mess up dynamic signatures and the like. They probably limit it at 1 million since an SQL query to retrieve 130 million records takes a lot more time than one to retrieve 1 million... If not make highscores unlimited they should at least make a lookup feature OR make that hiscore_lite.ws page show everything, excluding ranks under 1m or 2m or whatever.

Legacy of Seergaze
Actually, you're both wrong about the name! :D It's actually Zaromark Sliver, see? EDIT: I just noticed you have 60 for the HP value in the Bestiary, and it's actually 70 as seen above. :)

(DONE) Baby red dragons have Level 48
darkblade986, is the summer heat getting to you? :P You forgot to change the combat level to 48 on the old entry: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2monster_id=3 Also, the new entry (POH baby red dragon) doesn't drop anything and notes should probably be changed from "Often trained on for prayer xp. Happy slaying but watch out for their mothers!" to "Can be purchased/built in your player-owned house dungeon!" as they drop no bones, therefore give no prayer XP, and their mothers are a long way from any POH portal. Oh, and they don't count for slayer either (like all POH monsters). :) http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?r ... er_id=1166

(done) Baby red dragons have Level 48
You are both correct AND incorrect, as both a level 48 and 65 exist. The level 48 is the normal one and the level 65 is a monster you can choose to put in your player-owned house's dungeon.

[DONE] CALC: combat
I think green dragons used to be 85 HP back in RSC. ^_^

[Answered] New Tree Spirits
After rethinking, perhaps they actually do deserve their own entry. Thank you for mentioning those points, Pokemama.

Graphically updated monsters
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize the posts had been moved. I'll get you some pictures later, though. :)

LOCK PLEASE!@@@@@
I have proof the image is fake. On the highscores, Construction is skill ID # 23, Summoning is ID # 24. Sailing, on that picture, is BETWEEN those two. If it were a real skill, it would be ID # 25, therefore appearing AFTER Summoning. Fakers aren't too smart these days...

Image discussion
What you misinterpret to be "high quality" is a lower level of dithering. Microsoft Paint uses a high level of dithering to create GIF images. There is NO "Paint GIF" and "GIF". They are both GIF89a images. Dithering is a part of the format specification. Photoshop and other programs do not use AS MUCH, however such modifications ARE present. There is no software program on this planet that will produce an image of the same quality as PNG (if it has more than 256 colors, which pretty much all RuneScape screenshots will in the new HD format). I took your PNG source image and converted it into a GIF using ImageMagick, which, as you said "creates high quality GIF images". Well then... I do what I always do whenever I need to prove someone wrong: I wrote a program. The program I wrote outputs the details of an image file. The source image contained 813 colours. I then checked the GIF image that ImageMagick gave me: as I expected, 256 colours. Information had been LOST. The original PNG image: The so-called "high quality" GIF image: With these two images, the disgusting grainy effect isn't as visible, but if you look closely, you can see it. Let's use a different image for an example, then. This nice PNG screenshot of the new RuneScape HD is very nice, isn't it? High quality, detailed water and textures... pleasing to the eyes: A massive 68,896 unique colours present in the image! OUCH. Now let's have precious ImageMagick convert that nice PNG image to a "high quality" GIF. *MASSIVE EYEROLL!!* Oh god, what is all that dithery grainyness?! I think I feel sick! Also, I may not have done it right, but:

[Answered] New Tree Spirits
That is the random event tree spirit for a low-level, a different NPC than the one at B P K fairy location, and it has different drops and is spawned as level-14 no matter who the enemy. You could say the same thing about the Black demon in the Grand Tree quest. Different drops - but the exact same monster in all other aspects. The BPK tree spirit and random event tree spirit's scans are exactly the same, it doesn't need a new entry.

Image discussion
Seeing as all Tip.It Bestiary images are in GIF format, why should we "definitely not use it"?
-
[Answered] New Tree Spirits
It's not new at all and is already in the Bestiary [ http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2monster_id=218 ]. See, I have a monster examine from the OLD interface, way before the graphics update. Just change the Habitat of this entry [ http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2monster_id=218 ]: "Around trees you are woodcutting. If you chop any tree in the BKQ plane (accessible from the fairy ring) it will always summon a level 14 tree spirit random event."

I was right about the music counter.
When they fix it, it will say you have 498. :P
-
I was right about the music counter.
Exactly. Plus they had the time to add the "/ 549"... but not the time to type "- 1" to fix the first part of it?

New runescape world http.
They never "hid" it. It's called frames.

Thought Jagex didn't like 3rd party things?
Appears they're using JOGL (a 3rd party graphics engine). What are your thoughts on this? https://jogl.dev.java.net/

I was right about the music counter.
Lol. 3 more months before they completely fix it?

Item Database: Leaf-Bladed Sword
As I try to tell you guys all the time, there is no such thing as a "high quality GIF". 8 bit color. Period. No alpha transparency layer. Non existent. That is PNG only. GIF is 8 bit color. PNG is 32 bit color. GIF supports pixels being fully transparent or fully opaque. PNG supports alpha transparency (8 bit value, ranging 0 to 255). That is final. Do not deny it. There is no Photoshop magic to make it possible to make GIFs act as PNGs. You want 32 bit color? You want alpha transparency? You want transparency in PNG images to work in Internet Explorer? Use PNG images and PHP with output buffering and the DirectX Image Transformation Alpha Image Loader. Easy, simple, and no stupid GIF grainyness. [ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294714 ] Now, that I am done ranting, here is a properly done picture of the leaf-bladed sword. There is only 43 colors in the image so it will work fine as a GIF. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/1663 ... ordui1.gif Here's an example of an RS screenshot with partial transparency and 32 bit color. Which format looks better? GIF: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/9854/testeq8.gif PNG: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3263/tested8.png

Jard Y Dooku's NEW Ultimate Monster Examine Guide v3.0
I already considered that. I can simply enter the Champions Challenge arena while someone else is fighting those two monsters, for example while someone is fighting the ghoul champion I can fight the skeleton champion. Then I can just beat my own ghoul champion scroll later.
