In the words of the immortal Slade: IT'S CHRISTMA-A-A-S! Hopefully you can find some time for RuneScape among all the festivities, because we've got a bumper-size Christmas event for you this year! In other news, Mod Shogun has gifted us with a Daily Challenges Rework and we're wrapping up the Java client for good. Read on to find out more...

Christmas Events

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and once again, Santa needs your help! He's hidden 21 presents all across Gielinor, but he's gone and forgotten where he left them.

You can find one lost present every day from December 16th to January 5th. Present those presents to Santa to get your rewards, which include a special Christmas title, a snazzy Rudolph jumper, and some craft paper.

Wait, what? Paper?! Don't worry, it's not a white elephant gift - you'll need that for our second Christmas event, which takes the form of a gigantic Christmas cracker right in the middle of the Grand Exchange. Gather your mates and use your paper to construct the cracker. Then, when it's all finished, pull it and see what prizes are inside!

Finally, those of you who completed the 2017 Christmas event will be happy to know that you can once again carve up the slopes of Gielinor until January 5th. If you've lost your snowboard since then, you can always claim a new one from Diango in Draynor.

Patch Notes

Take a look at some of the headline changes and fixes we've made this week:
  1. Users will no longer experience dead inputs in specific combat situations.
  2. Players can now buy Dinosaur eggs for Hunter Marks from Irwinsson at the Anachronia Base Camp. Both Big Game Hunter and Slayer dinosaur eggs are available to be bought and buying will give a random egg.
