Current Adventurer's Log.
The Adventurer's Log interface as it appeared 22 October 2011.

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.

To access the Adventurer's Log, go to the Runescape main page, select the Community tab and click on Adventurer's Log. Any member player's log can be access by typing in the player's name if their privacy setting is 'Public'; if set to 'Friends Only', then the friend must log in. If set to 'Private', the player must be logged in to access their own log.

History

Pre release

The Adventurer's log was first hinted at during a Q&A between players and Jagex staff posted on the forums.

“ 37) Robeddarknes asks:

Hi I was wondering when you were planning on releasing the ability for us to look at our character's statistics such as number of x-monster killed and x-number of hours played and what date our accounts were created, as this has always interested me and I believe I read you were planning to release it.

[Mod MMG] Yes, we currently have a project underway to provide players with a lot more information about their avatar progress and status in game.

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.

“ I can't comment much on the Adventurer's Log at the moment, but I can confirm that it is not possible to see anyone else's Friends List. As some of you have suspected, the website feature was launched quietly to make sure it was running properly. I can't give you an estimate on when it will be relaunched, but rest assured we want to make sure it's as useful as possible for all of you. ”

Beta version

On 27 October 2009, Mod Seb had confirmed on the RuneScape Forums that the Adventurer's Log was currently in beta<ref>Mod Seb. RuneScape Forums > Recent Updates. Jagex Games Studio. (Archived from the original on 2009-10-27.) “As a lot of you have already noticed, we've launched a (slightly hidden) preview of the new Adventurer's Log system. It isn't currently linked to as we are still performance testing it - our players make very good guinea pigs! So, in case you haven't found it, here's an official link to it for you to peruse at your leisure: http://services.runescape.com/m=adventurers-log/”*</ref>.

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,<ref>RuneScape news - Website updates - Adventurer's Log</ref> but the feature is only for members as of now<ref>Ameobea10. Adventurer's Log. Jagex Games Studio. (Archived from the original on 2009-10-27.) “This player does not have an Adventurer's Log, as this is a members-only feature.”*</ref>.

"Friends' Recent Events"

  • The list of recent events covers 10 of your friends.
    • 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 your Friends 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 Friends Chat.
  • If players do not have many folks in their Friends Chat of high rank, then the list will be composed of their 10 highest ranked friends, and then of their most recently added friends.
  • If the server is unable to find any friends' recent events (typically because of a server error rather than not having friends with events), the log reads "I don't have any recent friend events; perhaps I should do more adventuring with them."

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 initially 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.

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, that achievement will not appear in their adventurer's log if they subscribe.
  • Previously, 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 players' Adventurer's Logs were switched with another random player. This has now been fixed.
  • 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.
  • As of 1 February 2011, the Adventurer's Log no longer states who you've killed in PvP.
  • With the update on 4 April 2011 there was a glitch in the adventurer's log. It said 'null' to all items, monsters, quest descriptions, Daemonheim events, and completion of any difficulty treasure trails. This glitch was fixed with the Clan update on 12 April 2011.
  • As of 23 August 2011, the Adventurer's Log shows the time as well as the date of the achievement.
  • As of 23 August 2011, the Adventurer's Log no longer shows a players' play time or gender.
  • However, As of 10 January 2012 , the Adventuer's Log once again shows a players' play time.
  • An update on 20 March 2012 caused the adventurers log to wrongly display quest names, instead of showing the actual quest completed it just displayed the quest, Cabin Fever, but when your cursor moves over it, it still displays the proper info for the actual completed quest.
  • Even if players have completed Druidic Ritual and/or Wolf Whistle, both of the quests will appear in the Available quests, making the graphic be unable to appear full in green colour for players who have completed all the quests. Players need to have completed the updated versions to make them go away.
  • The notifications must run on a template because on rare drop notifications it may not use proper grammar, for example, "After killing a Iron dragon, it dropped an ancient effigy." Although it did use an for ancient effigy so it is unknown if this is a glitch.
