Welcome to Burnish

Welcome to the guild website of Burnish! In the beginning of October 2012 a new neo-related guild was created in hopes of helping it's members grow, learn and connect with one another. We welcome all Neopians to this friendly environment. Whatever your calling is you can find someone who shares your interests and goals in succeeding in your Neopian life. Everyone from avid avatar collectors to champion battledome fighters are welcome to help each other gain more from their Neopets experience. We are also a highly interactive guild, our members are open and accepting to newcomers. Burnish hopes to continue to thrive and flourish through active, friendly members as well as a dedicated and hardworking council who is helpful and motivated.


About this page: On this page you will be able to find links to everything that is available to you as a current or future member of Burnish. We hope that you take the time to explore all of the wonderful options that the owners have worked so hard to develop just for you! You can find everything from guild activities to guides. Now, with all our countless hours spent creating and molding all of these exciting tools for your use we ask that if you happen upon any mistakes-big or small that you immediately neomail one of the council members so that we can get it fixed as soon as possible. Without any further delay, please go forth and blaze a new trail, and hopefully we will be seeing you very soon!

New to Burnish?

So you are new to the guild? Well first of all congratulations on making the decision to join us!

Now that you have been accepted into the guild you have a checklist to fill out, don't worry it isn't too much work but first and foremost you should head over to the guild message board and introduce yourself to some of our fine members. Feel free to dive right into whatever conversations are buzzing, we don't bite!

Next you are going to want to explore a bit, and boy does Burnish have a lot to offer. Be sure to dig through all the different pages of the website available to you so that you know all the activities going on in the guild. The first page you should find is the rules, these are important to know as a member.

Now there is just a few things left until you are a fully certified member of the guild:

• Explore our site, see what we have to offer you!.

• Go ahead and put your birthday in the calendar.
• Mail Mace your Wishlist and Block/s you are in and your notebook link if you have one yet!.
• Make sure you enable your guild mailings so that you receive all the important information about the guild!
• Add Mace as a neofriend so that you can get in on the 1NP auctions!
• Get a head start on your notebook, you can also take this time to browse other members Notebook and even get to know a little bit more about them.
• Finally check out the ranks page, it's always a good idea to know where you are headed and this is the perfect way to do so!


You are now considered an official member of Burnish, good luck with all your endeavors and we will all be seeing you soon!

Rules

As much as we hate rules, we have to have them to keep the guild a nice environment for all our members. It would be great if you could read over them all.

• Be Active. Please remain active. Just pop in every day or two and say hello. If you're gone for a long time you will receive a mail from mace, if no response after a week and no further posts on the guild you will be removed from the guild. But don't worry, you are more than welcome to join back again once you are able to be active again.

• Try and be Literate. We are a semi-literate guild so please try and avoid too much chat speak.

• No Guild Drama. The usual no bullying, swearing, black-mailing, scamming, teasing etc. We want this guild to be enjoyable for everyone please.

• No Spamming (neomails). This mainly applies when applying for a pet or applying for avatar lending. By this we mean mail the person once, getting to the point in your message. No one wants a full inbox.

• No Spamming (guild boards). Please don't post guild messages over and over again talking to yourself. We would prefer if you have no more than three messages in a row on the guild boards. Of course, we are lenient with this as we understand some have very glitchy computers. But try your best.

• No Unnecessary Posts. This comes under the same circumstances as the rules above. Please no word posts, try and answer in full sentences.

1np Auctions

With a title like that, I bet I've got your attention! Our 1np Auctions happen all the time. So make sure you're familiar with the rules so you can make the best out of each auction.

• You may only bid on 2 items per item lot. This ensures everyone gets a chance to win something and stops one person from winning all the items.
• Please only increase the bid by 1np.

You must be neofriends with Mace . Once you've read the above rules click on one of the links below to see what's up for 1np Auction!

This weeks Auctions are sponsored by many of our members! All Battledome weapons from John! Thanx guys!
Click here to bid.


Badges

Badges are awarded for completing various things around the guild as much more! Below are the current list of badges you can collect, along with how to get them. Be warned. some don't tell you how to get them as they are secret! You can put these anywhere but we recommend your notebook!

Notebook

note·book - a book in which notes are entered, registered, recorded, etc.

After joining burnish we ask all members to create a notebook. In your notebook we want a little piece of you! It is a place to put your badges, Art work, Wishlist's, screenshots, Goals, a blog? Anything you want, It will be linked to from our member page. Once you submit your notebook you will receive a badge. There is also the chance with each edition of the guilds newspaper your notebook may be spotlighted. This will also award you a new badge!

You may make your own layout, use a pre made petpage design from your favorite pre made site or use the Guild site layout (here) so you can keep everything guild related on one petpage!

Here is an example of my notebook. and no, we don't expect as much detail as I have here, but mine has been worked on over a long time! I use it for everything now! As I said fell in love with this idea and thought it would make a wonderful edition to our guild too!

Take a look at our Member section to view other Notebook and get to know your fellow members!

Guild Boards

Someone mail me the board coding we have been using!

Block info

These pages are expected to have links to guild guides related to the subject. A Block Badge, Access to Block activities, Short member list.

John's Best Guides All credit to the creators.

-basics of battling, my fav guide of all. the part about faerie abilities can get a little tedious with scrolling, but it should be fine on the whole. different categories of weapons and their general info are also given. read up these categories, but skip the part that lists out all the weapons.

Description about Leagues
Nick's League Calculator

Next up, training guides. the following 2 has useful information, some might prefer one over the other, personally i like both.
Guide 1

The last is a list of weapon abbreviations to help you when buying a Battledome set.
