This is just one of the tips for you when capturing images for the wiki. It would be a benefit since users will be able to see the screenshots clearly in detail.

If you have any other suggestions on other browsers available feel free to PM (Private Message) me and I'll add them in.

For IE users
You will be able to zoom in up to a maximum of 1000%.

• Start by opening Internet Explorer.
• At the bottom right of the browser, you'll see the default 100%.
• Click on the arrow pointing down and select 'Custom…'.
• Use the % you want to enhance.

For Google Chrome users
You will only be able to zoom in up to a maximum of 300%. More than that will cause the screen to distort/become blur. You can have the option of downloading Extensions but that will probably last you till at most 400% before the screen gets distorted.

• Start by opening Google Chrome.
• Go to the Tab you want and press 'Control' and '+' (zoom in) or '-' (zoom out).

For Firefox users
You can custom zoom % according to the preference you want, ONLY if you download the plugins required. If not it will zoom up to 300%.

• Open Mozilla Firefox.
• Goto this site, look for the latest version and click 'Download Now'.
• After the installation, restart your browser. Under 'Tools > Add-ons' click on 'Options'; under the tab 'Zoom Levels', you should see a 'Custom Zoom Levels (%) for you to fill in.
• Let's say you want to zoom in 300% and 800% respectively, set to 'C: 100-300-800' then click on the tick button. When you press 'Control' and '+', it should zoom from 100% to 300% to 800%.
• Make sure you set 'Current Zoom Levels (%)' to the one you've custom made or it won't work.

For Safari users
You can zoom in up to 300% by the same method as Chrome.

Advice on Screenshot Capturing

Tips on the locations available to capture your images since we don't have whitemap unlike AQWorlds. You have already done step 1 which is knowing how to zoom in images. NOW is to know where are the PLACES to capture GOOD screenshots.

Recommendation on places with little exposed features:

• /join supercitymall - you can go to the carpark in front of the mall once you join the map which I greatly recommend. These are grey areas which you can capture images without any complicated details.
• /join overlook - Try not to use the FLY feature and capture using the sky. LAND and capture using the grey area as background. (Don't capture here if there's an occasion as the ground is likely to be filled with things like snow or paint (yergen's birthday).
• /join libertysquare - Same as above, capture on the grey area. These have limitation as you have to consider the shadow of the building at the center of the map or little grey spaces available.
• /join mainstreeteast - Capture using the grey area.

• Screenshots from high graphical settings, ideally at normal size.
• Saved as .png (.gif can work, but you'd have to check and see if there's a loss of color).
• The location to capture does not matter, as long as it is clear of texture and obstruction. Please do make sure to contain only the details you're trying to capture.
• For items, image should only be taken while equipped on a character (like this), and NOT in a preview (like this).
• No character names, unless it overlaps the existing item you're trying to capture (like a head item). It's just wasted space… unless if there's no way to print without it.
• Proper cropping of image (Not too big & not too small) and no cutoff images.
• For all images (except Locations), zoom in on what you're taking. To zoom in, hold Ctrl then press "+" on your keyboard, To zoom out, press "-" instead.
• Use image hosting sites like Imgur as it's a more stable website, and prevent using sites like Tinypic as it is likely to cause broken image after a period of time.
• Image taken on the character should be facing to the right, unless it is a monster that only face to the left.
• Color Custom of item does not matter — if the items look the same but are sold separately as they have different color custom types (see Crow Wings), you can use the same default image for each item (for default use the one with non-color custom code) without having to change.

World

Locations

• You can include several images from an individual screen (example: 1st image taken on a street, and the other taken from the sky) but they must be kept in a single tab with collapsible of each individual image. (NOTE: As the screen is movable in HeroSmash - no matter where it is taken, it is still considered under a single screen)
• The focus should be the screens in an area, so no chat-box (hide it), toolbar/power bar should be empty (don't equip any powers), no other people in the room (if possible), and just try to keep the screen in it's 'natural state' without any interference (except yourself). If there are monsters, leave them in.

Monsters & NPCs

• Try to get the detail of the entire monster/NPC by zooming in.
• For monsters, take the image along with the red name above their head. This shows that the picture you took is actually a picture of a monster.
• For NPCs:
  • Take the image along with the "!" bubble above their head. This shows that the picture you took is actually a picture of an NPC.
  • Player NPCs should have their original image used, as the art updates when the player changes items.

Items

Armors

• Unequip everything but armor.
• Avoid using hairstyles but bald only.
• No facial markings to be equipped.
• Always include the Shadow at the bottom (Good Example & Bad Example)

Capes & Back Items

• Un-equip large objects that may cover a lot of the cape and focus only on the cape itself.
• Equipping items like the Invisible Blanket would be ideal, but not essential.

Gloves

• Try to take a screenshot that includes both gloves, if possible.

Head Items

• Avoid taking a screenshot with an armor that blocks part of the head item.
• Invisible Blanket is ideal but not essential.
• Unequip the other head items (like masks) before taking a picture.

Powers

• Screenshot for the Icon must be big enough (Good Example & Bad Example)

Weapons

• Try not to have too many other things around, so that people get a good look at it. Focus on the weapon itself.
• Invisible Blanket is ideal but not essential.
• If possible, include at least part of the character's shadow or equip a simple armor (e.g. Starter Outfit) so there can be a weapon vs body size comparison.

Miscellaneous

Need-Image Tag Guidelines

• This goes to every page that its image has lack of quality, small image or an image that needs to be re-sized or simply, the page has no image. We don't need to be spammed for images that are simply, just fine.
• This includes preview pictures with letters on pictures, badly pictures, too small and too big pictures, broken links or if the item isn't seasonal.
• Any images with hair that cover facial details of armors that morph. (that means simply to say, any armor that has a head item equipped)
• Head item images, that when an armor is equipped, it changes the appearance of the face.

Adding / Removing Thanks
Thanks is allowed to be added for the following image changes:

• Replacing an image, if the previous image was small, bad in quality and/or broken (broken images are still debatable)
• Adding animation images

Thanks is not allowed to be added for the following images changes:

• Minor corrections (such as adding a shadow to an image, fixing a minor crop, etc.)
• Replacing a good quality image that doesn't follow ISG with an image that is good quality and does follow the ISG.
• Adding an image that's not yours (this is a big no-no on the wiki, as we don't like people taking credit for other people's work)
