Anvil Supporter: tiers and perks

Anvil Supporter is a personal subscription that pays for Anvil’s servers. It comes in three tiers, each with everything the one below has. Every perk is looks or hosting room: tracking, events, scoring and your own stats stay free for everyone, and nothing here changes what an event counts.

From $1 a month or $10 a yearLooks only never a score, a rank or an itemNothing deleted when you stop
Step 1

The three tiers

#

Prices are on the Anvil Supporter page, /supporter. A yearly plan costs ten months.

Supporter$1 a month or $10 a year. A gold name and a star, a gold GZ, a display case with 4 slots, and you can host a friend event.
Champion$2 a month or $20 a year. A gradient name from our presets (or one colour of your own), your own avatar and banner (animated if you like), 8 display case slots, faster event chat and 1 clan boost.
Patron$5 a month or $50 a year. Your own gradient of up to 4 colours, and it moves, 12 display case slots, no wait in event chat, 2 friend events at once and 2 clan boosts.
Time from invites

Under Settings → Supporter you get an invite link. When a friend you invited pays, you earn free months; the reward lands two weeks after their first payment. Time earned this way gives every perk of its tier except clan boosts.

Step 2

What each tier gets

#

The same table as on the Supporter page, plus the chat perks.

Under Settings → In-game chat there are three more: your own chat feed colours (Supporter), choosing what your login brief covers (Champion), and a star by your name in other players’ chat feeds (Patron).

Step 3

Name colours

#

Set them under Settings → Supporter, in Your name’s look. The preview shows your name on a dark background and on a light one.

Supportersolid gold. There is nothing to pick.
Championone of the preset gradients (Classic, the default, Ember, Ocean, Aurora, Rose gold or Toxic), or Your own: one static colour. Across all your characters you can use at most two different colours of your own.
Patronevery preset plus Prism, the Patron default, or Your own with one to four colours. One colour stays still; two to four make a gradient that moves left to right.

Start with Your Anvil display name, the name on your Discord-linked account, and press Save. Reset to default goes back to your tier’s colours. Under Your RuneScape characters, keep Same as my Anvil name or choose A separate look for my characters, which opens an editor for one look on all of them. To give one character its own look, pick it under Customize per character. Its editor opens on its own, and Use the default puts it back.

Dark and light backgrounds

The site, the plugin panel and Discord are dark; the game’s solid chatbox is light. Anvil adjusts your colours so they stay readable on each. If you want a different look on one of them, switch on Set a separate look for dark backgrounds or for light backgrounds. That look is shown exactly as you picked it, with no contrast fix, and the preview warns you when it is hard to read.

Step 4

Where your flair shows

#

Your colours and the star go wherever your name does:

On the siteboards, rosters, profiles, your own name in the top bar, and your character names. The star wears your colours.
In the plugin panelthe Feed, event chat, cards and the Tracking line. A Patron’s gradient slides; each player can stop it with Animated names.
In gamefor other players who use the Anvil plugin: public, clan, friends and private chat, clan broadcasts, login notices, friends and clan lists, and the right-click menu (never on PvP worlds or in the Wilderness). In game chat, the star is a Patron’s.
In Discorda star beside your name on Anvil’s posts, drawn in your own colours if you picked some.
Gold GZon a clanmate’s drop in your clan’s feed on the site, your GZ can be gold. Only Supporters can give one.
Only on characters proven to be yours

Colours show only on characters the plugin has confirmed are yours, on the site and in game. To keep them off your names in other people’s game chat, untick Show my colours on my characters’ names in game chat under Settings → Supporter.

Step 5

Avatar, banner and display case

#

All three are under Settings → Profile look.

Avatar & bannerChampion and Patron. Upload your own; a GIF or WebP stays animated. They show on your card, your profile and every character of yours, on the site and in the plugin. A banner can be up to 6 MB and at least 600×150; an avatar up to 2 MB.
Per charactergive one character its own banner or avatar, or both. It replaces your default on that character’s pages and plugin card only.
Display caseyour best drops, kill counts and times pinned to your profile: 4 slots for Supporter, 8 for Champion, 12 for Patron. Pins from characters you don’t share stay private.
Step 6

Friend events, head-to-head and chat

#

The perks that give you more room to play, rather than a look:

Friend eventsrun your own bingo, solo bingo or race for friends from Host an event for your friends, tracked by the plugin like a clan event. Friends join with your invite link. Supporter: 1 live event, 10 players. Champion: 1 event, 25 players. Patron: 2 at a time, 50 players between them. Anyone can join one.
Head-to-headchallenge a friend from their profile: first to a drop, or most kills or XP in 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days. Bragging rights only. Free players can have 1 open at a time, Supporters 5, Champions and Patrons as many as they like.
Event chathow long you wait between lines: 5 seconds without a tier, 3 for Supporters, 1 for Champions, none for Patrons. When a board’s chat gets busy, everyone waits 10 seconds, Patrons too.
Clan boostsChampion 1, Patron 2, while you pay. See Boosting a clan.
Step 7

Paying, changing and cancelling

#

Anvil Supporter is billed through Gumroad, monthly or yearly.

  1. Sign in on Anvil and open /supporter.
  2. Press Choose Supporter, Choose Champion or Choose Patron. Gumroad’s checkout opens, with monthly or yearly billing.
  3. Pay. Your perks switch on as soon as Gumroad tells Anvil, and your tier shows on the Supporter page as Your tier.

To change tier, use Change tier under Settings → Supporter. To cancel or update your card, use Manage on Gumroad there. A cancelled membership keeps every perk until the end of the term you paid for.

Always start from /supporter

The Choose button carries a code that tells Anvil which account paid. Anvil never matches a payment by email, so buying from Gumroad directly, without that button, leaves the payment unlinked. If that happened, ask in the Anvil Discord and staff can attach it to your account by hand.

Step 8

Moving down or stopping

#

Nothing you set is deleted. Every perk is checked against the tier you have right now, so it switches off on its own and comes back as soon as you renew.

Name coloursyour saved choice stays stored. You wear your new tier’s colours, or none, until a tier that allows it comes back.
Avatar & bannerbelow Champion, they show their still first frame instead of moving.
Display caseshows the first pins your tier allows and hides the rest. With no tier it is hidden; the pins wait for you.
Clan boostsyour oldest boosts keep counting and the rest are paused, not removed.
A temporary upgrade from Anvil staff

Staff can give someone a higher tier for a while, for example as a thank-you. It sits on top of what you pay and never changes your subscription. Settings → Supporter shows A gift from Anvil and when it ends; after that you are back on your paid tier. A gift only gives clan boost slots when staff include them.

Everything here is set on the website under Settings → Supporter, Profile look and Clan boosts. For boosts in detail, see Boosting a clan. For where your colours show in RuneLite, see The side panel, tab by tab. Money questions: Refunds and Terms.
