For those of you who thought the last update was big... well, this one's even BIGGER! cute.png

Anyways, we have quite a few new and rewritten guides on the site today. First, a Farming Help guide is finally available, with lots of info on the best methods to train with, using other skills to help with Farming, and much more! A huge thanks goes to Neo Avatars for writing the massive guide! We also have a brand-new Construction, Level-By-Level guide, which includes all sorts of useful info about what can be made at each level of Construction. Another huge thanks goes to Merch Gwyar for writing this guide! The new Creating and Running a Clan guide should be helpful to anyone looking to start and manage a successful clan -- thanks to Drafonicus for this excellent guide! We also have a guide on the various types of Barrows Equipment available, with all sorts of useful info on these powerful armors. Thanks to Beserk Warrior for writing this guide!

The Merchanting guide has seen a complete overhaul, and now focuses on using the Grand Exchange to merchant. It should definitely be much more helpful to players now! Thanks to Veni vidi vici Vincent for writing this guide! The Mining Guild guide has been rewritten to include new information and updated images on the guild itself. Thanks to Hawk for this excellent guide! The Fishing Guild guide has also been rewritten to be more detailed, and to include some missing info. A big thanks goes to Lord Earth for writing this guide! Lastly, the Dwarf Canon quest guide has been completely rewritten as well to include new and updated info on the quest, and to be much easier to use. A really big thanks goes to Dragonclaw8 for writing this guide!

Thanks to all of these writers, and to everyone who helped by submitting info and corrections to these guides! ice.gif

A new poll is also available on the main page of the site: Are you combat-based, skiller-based, or a mix of both? Don't forget to vote! Thanks to Kemosabe for the poll idea! smile.gif

I love your guide veni, but you should mention that when an item is falling alot and flattens out, should rise pretty much, for example:

http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/viewitem.ws...987&scale=1

Nice guide though
Userz

Veni vidi vici
Hmmm... I better go see what other guides need fixing... There aren't any accepted guides... SAL! GO ACCEPT SOME GUIDES!
~Vincent

More new guides? Awesome!
I saw that earlier you were looking at all the accepted guides, I guess you were transferring them to the site.

I'm using FF3, but I don't get it in IE7...
Oh, nvm it's gone. It looked weird before.
Yes, fill it back up again. There are many guide re-writes and new guides that MUST BE ACCEPTED... LIKE THE GORRILA TRAINING GUIDE! It's a great guide... It looks like a good guide... I spellchecked it if it makes you feel any better (aware.gif)

EDIT: New fad: Copy you sig Sal!

Good job to all writers.

I just gotta say that this exactly what Sal's needs. If we want to really start becoming a highly used fan site, we need to churn out the guides.

Fill it up!

In your post, you misspelled "Beserker Warrior".

Haha I was wondering when the Farming Help guide was going to make it on, that monster must have taken ages to code. tongue.gif

Merch. ;_; Someone should e-mail her somehow and tell her that her guide is on the site.

Great job guys. biggrin.gif

The new guides added to the site are wonderful!!!The Construction level-by-level guide looks really helpful now that we know what items to put in our houses and also the Barrows Equipment guide looks great also but I spotted an error.We get agility exp. if we repair Barrows items from NPC's? huh.gif
I love the rewritten merchanting guide a ton as well with the G.E. being put there!! wub.gif
-Nacho Ninja-
Sal, make sure you post 16 guides next time biggrin.gif
It's pretty obvious Neo made the Farming guide, he's a big noob when it comes to Farming. tongue.gif
Merchanting guide is pretty good.
wub.gif these guides biggrin.gif

Wow... Pretty big update tongue.gif Good job guys biggrin.gif

Btw Sal, it's 2009 not 2008 aware.gif

Took a while for the Farming Help guide to get on the site. That thing was huge.

By thw way, the Merchanting guide's fine for me, except I have to click the pictures. I use Opera 9.63 (the latest stable release).
Dr Skull
It just took a year and ~2 months to get Neo's Farming guide added. biggrin.gif Although, it is a humongous guide, so props to Neo! (And Sal for coding it all tongue.gif)

Too bad Merch isn't here to see her guide on the site. sad.gif
Veni vidi vici
I just noticed that my Merchanting Guide doesn't have the -New Sign next to it, while my Ice Warrior Guide does... I think that it should be taken off now lol.
I finally finished reading the Construction guide... Level... By... Level...

y'all you all did great, huzzah! the accepted content is empty! wub.gif

Well done all of you, remember reading some of those in the 'Accepted Content', especially Neo's Farming Guide! It's humunununungous! I'm sure they'll be of great use to Visitors and Sal Members alike smile.gif

And good job of course Sal on Coding it all tongue.gif
Mohorak
Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but I think people should stop churning out new guides with incorrect and/or outdated content and instead work on correcting the guides we already have. For instance, just looking in the Barrows guide, I can see that about half of the content is obviously taken from an older guide. One example- the Barrows guide says this about Guthan's warspear:

"Also, the set has very good defense and attack bonuses but, the weapon is considered by many, "overpriced." The weapon is the most expensive item in the set being a rousing 7m!"

Now look at the Grand Exchange Database. You'll find that the warspear is actually 1.7m at market price, and the whole Barrows SET is only 4 million!

If Sals is to become a truly good site, even just a usable one (I am sorry to say it, but I use Tip.It or RuneWiki for my guides and only visit Sals for the clan and forums), it must at LEAST use up-to-date information. I mean, having who-knows-how-old prices on a brand-new guide? Please, Sals members, have some work ethic. Look up the prices, don't just copy from old guides (or, dare I say it, just guess!).
prediter45
awesome guides guys good job
Hawk

Those prices are from when the guide was written, not from the old one. You can always submit corrections yourself rather than write a rant about how a price is wrong.

My time machine to last year, it worked!!!!
erickap77
on the repair secion in the barrows armor guide it says it costs agility exp? blink.gif i think that should be fixed
