Not Me! I like tipit, my comp is just too slow to be able to load a page along with playing rs, it just won't work. So, I thought about something that may help. Why not have an in-game bestiary of sorts? Here's the idea of it, may be a little long. :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, you know how the varrock library in-game goes fairly unused? The person who tends it sure does, and he wants to do something about it. He wants to spice the library up a little, and what better way than a series of books that describes all things living (and some that isn't) on Geilnor (the rs world if you didn't know). This is open to all, and everyone can contribute (it would help newbies immensely even with the minimal ammount of info at first).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To contribute, all you have to do is do your normal adventuring and come visit the library every once in a while. You gain info by first obtaining a book from the librarian (Traveler's Journal for lack of a better name) and going around to various places, talkin to npcs and killing things. As you kill things, you gain more information about that particular monster. After killing a preset or slightly randomised # of a specific monster (higher powered monsters need fewer kills), You record some info in your journal, which you can look at any time you wish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you get all the preset info you can (maybe have a star by the monster in the journal), You can record your own info, such as drops and sttrengths/weaknesses for example. You can do the same with areas, but with gaining info instead of killing stuff. When you get all the info of an area, any monsters with stars by them in your bestiary that occupy that area are categorised as such in the library (different for everyone).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, there isn't much to all this hard work without there being a good reward, now is there? As said before, the bestiary is actually a series of books. Each of these books are assigned to a specific area, and are unlocked whenever you start recording about an area. There is also a separate series of books for the monsters only, sorted by type. You will not find links to the section on monsters unless if you complete both the area's and the monster's info.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, for completing an area (percentage shown somewhere on the page, includes that area's monsters) and/or a certain ammount of monster logs (could be a mix of any), the librarian gives you rewards. They vary depending on what area you complete and the monsters you log. For the f2p areas and monsters, you can only get f2p rewards. For the p2p, you can get a mix of the 2. When you complete all of the f2p and/or p2p bestiary, you gain access to storing items in the royal vault (more space available for p2p than f2p, duh).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spatulus13 gave the idea that you can obtain a log in the bestiary of a monster for what it drops when you get it to drop something. I think this is a good idea, and would be possibly either something extra or a part of the bestiary completion. (maybe have a separate reward from getting all the drops from monsters, that would be interesting :) )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, this is as much as i can think of at the moment, tell me what you think!

seems a good idea, not sure about the drops though, maybe if it only listed drops you had already got?

that would be a good idea! maybe have "?????" or something of that effect in slots where there are unfound drops, that way we are sure of what drops we do & do not have. may count for completing the bestiary too! :thumbsup: thanks for pointin it out to me
