Yes, members of RuneWeb, it's time to start getting our guides in shape. Normally, Content Staff would be doing something like this, but right now they're on vacation they're swamped with a few more guides to finish.

This is why we've decided to call on the users of RuneWeb to help spot out some errors in our guides. \ Find inaccuracies, find misspellings, find phrases you don't agree with, (LIES -Editor) calculator errors, so forth and so on, and post them ALL here. (Please note that we know that the Class signatures don't have Construction on it, and I believe that Supa's working on it.)

It would take a lot of stress off of our vacationing overworked Content team for you to do this, and we would appreciate it if you could help us.

Thanks!

----

OK, look, we're not asking you people for opinions or fluff or text modifications - part of Runeweb's guides is the tone and that's something important.

We want DATA. Raw, pure, DATA. When we ask for maintenance, all I'm asking for is DATA. Minor stuff like whether something should be labelled 'required' or 'recommended' doesn't fall under this category.

In short, DATA. Not opinions or semantics. DATA, DATA, DATA.

In communist Russia, guide checks YOU for errors!


But seriously, it would help us a lot if you civilians checked the guides. The skill guides mostly; I'm pretty sure most of the quest guides are good. If any quest guides have errors, it's the newly released ones.

i just read the mining guide and it would probably be good to add on to the miners guild paragraph that the skeleton mine is also one of the best places to mine coal. Even though it may be further from the bank than the miners guild, there nobody ever there

"Best" is a subjective term. Best for who? If you ask 10 people the best place to mine, you might get 20 different answers. It all depends on what and why you are mining.

Listing the places and including recommendations is good, but only if you include the reasons why they're good which could make for a huge, unwieldy guide.

Please keep in mind that what is being asked for is facts, not necessarily opinions.

yes i agree with u baakalor. In the mining guide, it seems like the author of the guide overrates the mining guild. We could adjust it and say something like:

While the mining guild has many coal rocks and is very close to the bank, it tends to get very crowded. An alternate place to mine coal effectively is the skeleton mine in the level 10 wilderness north west of edgeville. There are many coal rocks there and is usually is empty. However beware of pkers and aggressive skeletons.

If you agreed with Baak, you'd see that we're not asking for suggestions, rather we're asking for errors in spelling and information.

WOO The content and Makoto appear to have finished Makoto's list... FOR NOW.

Though I must say, some of that stuff WAS already in the guides/not exactly needed. :\

To me melee armour protect more than black dragonhide in gargoyles.
Best gear to kill cave horrors (melee) are black dragonhide or full guthans/whip combo (u need a witchwood icon to kill them). Dunno about range spots.

There are several safe spots to range gargoyles from. They only get one shot at me when I use the rock hammer on them for the kill, so black dhide is fine.

However, with d-hide if you melee gargoyles you'll get hit frequently. If you melee, wear your melee armour there. Simple as that.

Cave horrors are too new, I can't speak to that. Never been there. Had a nice month off rs though.

AND the Slayer Guide has been COMPLETELY updated. It's quite good looking now, if I may say so myself.
