21 May 2008 - Level-up Messages

Going up a skill level can access a shedload of new activities, items and quest requirements. You need to know exactly what you're capable of at these new levels, so we've taken a fresh look at your level up messages and skill guides.

Level-up messages now give you much more information about any abilities you've unlocked when raising your skill levels. They'll tell you when you increase a Combat level, for example, or when you've met the requirements to start a new quest. Each of these important milestones will be highlighted by improved sounds and graphics, which get more impressive as you achieve harder-to-reach goals!

Extra information has also been added to the Skill Advance Guides, giving you a truly comprehensive picture of what can be done at your current level. If you have gained the ability to do anything with your new skill level, you can almost guarantee that it will be here.

Finally, you won't miss your level-up message if you're in the midst of combat. Once you advance a level in a skill, that skill's icon will begin flashing in the statistics menu of your side interface. You can then view your level-up messages by clicking on the flashing icon (as long as you stay logged in). In all other cases, clicking on the skill icon will open the skill guide as normal.

Summary
Access to:

More information in your level-up messages
More information in your skill advance guides
Improved animations and sounds when you gain a skill level
View level-up messages when you are ready

In other news...

There are a few unusual signs for you to discover across RuneScape, revealing bizarre statistics about the activities of the day. Ever wanted to know the number of cakes stolen from East Ardougne stalls? Well, now you can! There are signposts for you to find in the following locations:

* East Ardougne
* Goblin Village
* Lumbridge
* Lumbridge cow fields
* Varrock Palace

On the subject of signposts, you'll find that a number have been added around Runescape. These are very useful if you're lost and need pointing in the right direction. These are scattered in the area bounded by Ardougne, Fremennik Pass, Morytania and down to the Shantay Pass.

Various NPCs in Miscellania and Etceteria are more helpful and will tell you your approval rating. This should save you time and a trip to Advisor Ghrim.

Juna, from the Tears of Guthix minigame, now has a quick option for telling her stories. Also, she'll inform you more accurately about when you can return to the cave and collect tears again. If you are able to access the Tears of Guthix within the next two days, Juna will tell you when to return, to the hour. If you can access them within 4 hours, Juna will tell you when to return, to the minute!

This is how a new lvl up looks like:

Getting the actual level gets you this screen:

The skill Icon will be flashing in your skill tab. When you click it you'll get this screen:

Or this screen if you learn nothing new at that lvl:

Until I see a new level 99, I'm a bit underwhelmed. Can't just show people what you got (Congratulations, you are now 95 Agility!), instead you are told there is more information in the stats window. Seems like it's not made for those who like to screen shot their levels.

Yeah, not a fan of it either. I liked being able to snap my level and move on, just a bit more effort now.

It's... different. It certainly does give us more information on what we can do at our newly achieved levels. Sure, it'll take about 1 3 seconds more to take your level up screenshot, but at least you won't miss it due to combat anymore.

I failed to see any new animation when I leveled up...

This is *so* annoying. I am considering not getting 99s anymore, for the simple reason of not wanting to take two screenshots. I thin on the bottom, it should say:

"Congratulations, you just advanced a (insert skill here) level, your level is now (insert level here)!
More information available in the blinking icon!"

Might be a bit cramped, but great for people like me that screenshot *every* level.

I'm not a hater or a lover. As for me, I could have two screenshots. One is edited to have both windows and the other with just the chat one and my friends in the background. 3/5.

I noticed that they've changed it a little. They now tell in the short message what level you achieved.

It can get annoying if you have to take a screenshot of a large box or a smaller box that says 'open your stats menu,' but I'll get over it. They could have just kept it the way it was without telling you about the icon, but still having it :| 3/5
