It's Sunday, and that means a new Tip.It Times article!

This week, we're featuring an article written by a guest author, kingpower10, that addresses a commonly discussed topic at the moment. Be sure to give The Current Pure Essence Situation a good read! Also, once you're done reading it, feel free to discuss the article on our forums!

We also have a clan-related announcement! What do you think makes a #1 clan? This question is featured in our new Clan Topic of the Week. Discuss here!

Enjoy!

First off, we've updated our Music Locations page with all the new songs and have made the locations more descriptive.

I'd also like to announce that Tip.It now has an official team cape, #39. To find out how to obtain one, check here.

The Hot Topic for this week discusses how the developer of another online RPG recently filed a lawsuit against a real-world-trading company and whether or not Jagex can learn lessons from this aggresive move. Voice your opinion and check it out here.

I am very pleased to introduce a new clan feature to Tip.it: the Tip.it War Rankings.

The Tip.it War Rankings is a list of clans who dare to challenge each other in combat. Whether it's for alliances, free-to-play clans, or wars taking place on a pay-to-play world, this list is available for everyone and every clan. If you think your battle-hardened soldiers are ready for war, bring your clan on down to the Tip.it War Rankings forum and claim a spot!

It's Monday, so that means it's time for a new poll!

To start off our time of Co-Crew Leadership, Headnazgul and I would like to see which part of Tip.It you think needs the most improvement: Menus and Clutter, Databases, Guides, the Correction Submission Process, or you don't see any need for improvement. Be sure to vote!

Once you've cast your vote, feel free to elaborate and discuss your answer in the poll discussion topic on the forums!

That's right! Sunday always means a new Times article, and this week, Amadyllo has another great article, "The Calm After the Storm." Once you're done reading, we invite you to post in the discussion topic, or send a Letter to the Editor about the article.

I have a little bad news as well. The real life game has started to get very intense, and with a lot of regret, I'm stepping down from the Crew leader position. The crew is a very tight knit team, and when a team's leader isn't pulling their own weight, the team will suffer as well. In 7 years, I have always beleived that Tip.it is the #1 Runescape fan site, and I hope that with the co-leadership of the crew by Rcty and Headnazgul, we will remain at the top. With that said, I bid you adieu.

Tip.It is pleased to announce the release of the updated Treasure Trail Coordinates List page!!

Clicking the link next to the text description will popup a game screenshot of a player standing at that exact coordinate, including a minimap, to help you recognize landmarks and find the right spot!

The NEW WILDERNESS CLUES are described in the text AND have links to pictures, so everything you need is here!

At the moment, our interactive map locator tool is showing wrong locations for the wilderness, as everything has been moved. Now that we have an updated wilderness map, this will be fixed soon.

If you are an active users on our forums I'm sure you are already aware of our two monthly contests: Achievement of the Month and Picture of the Month. These have been going on for a few months, but until now we haven't announced the winners on the website.. but some of us felt that they deserve more recognition for their achievements/artwork ;)

So please give a big round of applause for the winners for January:

Achievement of the Month: Freesia for 99 crafting, 99 magic and 99 smithing.

Picture of the Month: LP and Nadril for their collaboration the following piece: Nad - LP ( Colab) - Wallpaper

Hopefully you will complete the latest quest, As a First Resort..., with ease now that the quest guide has been completed and released! Good luck and have fun!

I know everyone is waiting around for the release of our quest guide, but sadly you'll need to wait a little longer. In the mean time, why don't you check out our newly updated World and Wilderness maps!

Along with the release of the wilderness map, we have the release of the Clan wars guide as well.

Long ago, when our forums were still called Scapeboard, a warrior began writing stories, chronicaling the journy of Omegawytch. While the times have changed, the stories are still worth a read. So, wander over to the Omegawytch discussion to find the stories.
