Balthazar’s Big Raffle
Originele tekst
RuneScape has had a fantastic summer with a resurgence in players and tons of great content with more still to come so what better way to celebrate than a raffle for some awesome limited edition items?! Weve made sure that this September as summer fades and real life steals time away from gaming even the busiest players can get a kick out of RuneScape with Balthazars Big Raffle! Itll take just minutes each day to be in with a chance of winning limited edition gold coloured godswords and warpriest armour, deathtouch darts, remote banking, silverhawk boots and feathers, skill outfit pieces and even 100 million gold pieces!
Starting after the game update on September 1st, Balthazar can be found near the Burthorpe Lodestone offering entry into daily raffle. Hes venturing out from his Big Top Bonanza to offer a set number of limited edition items each day throughout the month. To be in with a chance of winning one of these prizes, you need to give him a raffle ticket the more tickets you give him, the more chances you have to win. Every player can get up to 2 tickets per day; one from simply talking to Balthazar and another from a JMod in game at a meet-up event. Check back in with Balthazar the next day (after reset at GMT 00:00) to see if youve won a prize from previous days. Even if you dont get the main item, youll still get a consolation prize of an XP Lamp.
Theres a different prize each day of the week, and a fixed number of each to be won in total:
- Mondays - 100 Million Gold Coins x 200
- Tuesdays - Golden Godsword (1 in 4 chance of each sword) x 5000
- Wednesdays - Golden Warpriest Armour set (1 in 4 chance of each) x 10,000
- Thursdays - 3 Death Touch Darts x 40,000
- Fridays - Remote Bank Deposit Box (1hr Duration) x 80,000
- Saturdays - Silverhawk Boots (or 250 silverhawk feathers if owned) x 20,000
- Sundays Skilling Outfit Piece (or 500,000gp if all owned) x 100,000
Each day throughout the month Jagex Mods will be in game to dish out another ticket. You can find us on Worlds 98 and 124 in the Lumbridge Crater at 4am, 10am, 3pm and 8pm BST. JMods will be jumping into game at other times too, so follow us on Twitter to find out about more unscheduled raffle ticket giveaways:

UPDATE: 1st September
We’ve had a bunch of feedback regarding the Raffle and will be making some last minute adjustments. The largest concern was the quantity of prizes in the raffle and their potential impact on the game economy. While our research and balancing gives us confidence the prize quantities won’t have a long-term negative impact, I appreciate the overall concern and understand that players want us to be more conservative with the prize balancing.
The following changes have been made:
- All prize quantities have been be halved (gold down from 200 to 100, godswords down from 5,000 to 2,500, etc)
- The Golden Godswords and Golden Warpriest armour will not be protect-on-death (i.e. they’ll behave the same as their regular versions)
- We’ve added an alternative for players to get a 2nd raffle ticket by completing a daily challenge if they cannot meet a JMod
- Familiars will be blocked from the Lumbridge Crater, as they are at some banks and the Grand Exchange.
- We will be adding an extra JMod ticket session US Eastern players to attend early evening – this will be midnight BST / 7pm EDT

Je mag loten opsparen.
De Jagex moderators voor extra loten kun je iedere dag in wereld 98 en 124 in de krater van Lumbridge vinden. Ze zijn er om 5 uur 's nachts, 11 uur 's morgens, 15 uur en 21 uur, maar kunnen ook op andere tijden verschijnen. Houd daarvoor Twitter in de gaten.
Op 1 september heeft Jagex enkele wijzigingen gedaan om zorgen van spelers over de invloed van de prijzen op de economie te verminderen. Zo wordt elke prijs nu nog maar de helft van de originele aantallen weggegeven. De getallen hierboven zijn aangepast.
Verder zullen de gouden godswords en het warpriest armour niet meer behouden blijven als je doodgaat, kun je nu ook een daily challenge doen als je geen Jagex-moderator wilt ontmoeten, kun je geen dieren van Summoning meer meenemen naar de krater in Lumbridge en zullen er om 1 uur 's nachts ook Jagex moderators aanwezig zijn.
