Patch Week | Valentine's Pt 2 Coming 15th February
Originele tekst
It's a patch week, so head on over to the patch notes for full details of what we've been tweaking.
Highlights include a rework of the Shield of Arrav quest, which can now be completed without a player partner, and quality-of-life improvements to both Shield of Arrav and Heroes' Quest including the ability to change your gang affiliation.
Note that Heroes' Quest still requires a partner to complete.
Valentine's Continues[/size]
From 00:00 UTC on 15th February, look out for the second part of this year's Valentine's event.
Please Note
While part 2 of the event shares a theme, setting, characters and ongoing story with part 1, it is mechanically entirely different. Be sure to do everything you wish to do in part 1 before it ends at 23:59 UTC on February 14th.
You've helped Wizard Deedit clear Lumbridge Crater of space rocks, but the devotion sprites have gone wandering.
Collect fabric scraps through skilling and combat activities and Daily Challenges, then exchange these for rewards from Wizard Deedit's Sprites-Be-Gone Rewards Store.
This includes a sprite costume, which when both pieces are worn allows you to shoo off up to 10 devotion sprites dotted around the world, for an XP lamp each time.
There are also mystery boxes to claim from Deedit, and the grand prize of a devotion sprite pet to call your own.
You can collect up to 1000 fabric per day, and 10,000 will get you all the rewards on offer. The event lasts 14 days.
If you'd like to get the rewards sooner, you can spend RuneCoins at the rewards store to up your daily gathering limit.
