QUOTE(10 September 2007 - Achievement Diary - Varrock)
This week's update brings the latest Achievement Diary - as chosen by you in the Guaranteed Content poll!
Discover a wide range of activities and tasks to perform throughout Varrock, taking you from the Barbarian Village right through to the limestone mine near the Rag and Bone Man; from the depths of the city's murky sewers to the highest point in the city!
Get ready to investigate dungeons and spiders' lairs; listen to stories from the elderly; discover Varrock's various shops and experience the very best that Varrock has to offer.
With a wide range of achievements for you to complete, you will have your work cut out if you wish to complete every last one of them. Those willing to put in the effort, however, will find themselves well rewarded with a series of useful items for completing the easy, medium and hard tasks.
Your skills will be pushed to their very limit if you wish to become a true master explorer of Varrock!
Summary
Where to start The Achievement Diary - Varrock
Speak to Rat Burgiss in the south of Varrock, Reldo in Varrock Library or Vannaka in Edgeville Dungeon
Also this week, we find an unlikely pairing of graphical improvements...
From Pirates' Cove in the north-west to Mos Le'Harmless in the south-east, pirates everywhere are rejoicing as they unpack shipments of stunning new clothes and fashion accessories. Decked out in their new jackets, tricorns hats, hooks, peg-legs and caps, the pirates of RuneScape have never looked more... um... piratey. So, the next time you're fighting for your life against one of these fearsome swashbuckling seafarers, take a moment to admire their outfits.
The children of RuneScape have also been given a bit of a makeover. Check out the slouch of Wilough and Shilop in Varrock, the shifty eyes of the Urchin in Pollnivneach, or maybe the anaemic pallor of Smiddi Ryak as she fights for her life on her Trek to Paterdomus. No matter whether they have been naughty or nice, the little scamps have all received a fresh new look.

QUOTE(10 September 2007 - Herbal remedies)
Ever get confused about the identity of those herbs nestling in the far corners of your bank? Ever wondered exactly what your unfinished potion contains? Well, never fear! We've spoken to the Herbalist of Nardah and put him to work, updating the Herblore skill.
The first changes are to unfinished potions. With this update you will no longer have to wonder what potion is within your vial. The Herbalist has examined them all carefully and labelled them up for you. He's also added a new naming convention to these potions - (unf) - which stands for 'unfinished', so you can tell their status at a glance.
The Herbalist also felt 'identifying' herbs was not the difficult part of Herblore - it's cleaning! So, your unidentified herbs have been replaced with 'grimy' herbs. You will now see grimy ranarrs, grimy marrentills and other mucky herbs. These require cleaning and a certain Herblore level to do so; the same Herblore level that was required to originally identify them. With no more identifying to be done, you will know exactly what herbs you are receiving from the very start.
Your efforts in herb Farming will also produce grimy herbs - giving you a small increase in Herblore experience as you clean them!
The Herbalist in Nardah is more than willing to clean up any grimy herbs for you - for a price of course. He has also, for no extra price, trawled through your herbs, identifying and sorting them into 'clean' and 'grimy' batches. Clean herbs are ready for use, whether in potions, in salamanders or anything else you could do with a herb.
We hope you'll now find that it's impossible to get scammed when you're buying herbs. We know that, in the past, some scammers have tried to trick honest players by playing on the fact that many people could not distinguish between unidentified herbs, so we've done this to make RuneScape more enjoyable for the honest majority of players.

Amongst the warriors, knights, ogres and castles depicted in this week's fantastic Players' Gallery comes an imaginative use for sausages. Intrigued? Postie Pete certainly was!
Head over to the Players' Gallery to view this month's fantastic selection.
Don't forget to keep submitting your images, whether they be line drawing, watercolour, render, comic, pastel sketch or even a toad crunchy collage. Postie Pete especially likes the latter.
