A legendary Fremennik hero-turned-god comes home in style in Hero's Welcome: RuneScape's latest quest!
Head over to Lumbridge Crater, too, and join in the Summer Beach Party.
How to Start Hero's Welcome Head to Rellekka and speak to the people arguing by the pier. Requirements You must be a RuneScape member Lunar Diplomacy Tai Bwo Wannai Trio 60 Divination 67 Mining 62 Slayer 67 Smithing All of Otto Godblessed's barbarian training complete A combat level of at least 100 is recommended
In Hero's Welcome, you'll meet the mighty V well known to those of you who've finished While Guthix Sleeps - as he returns to his people.
You'll embark on a series of dangerous raids on Dragonkin lairs, and uncover some of their darkest secrets. Be ready for combat, as there'll be plenty of fierce foes to fight, but you'll need brains as well as brawn to succeed.
Rewards
Prevail and you'll earn hearty helpings of XP, better yields when runecrafting, and access to new areas containing bane ore and adamant dragons. There's also a repeatable boss fight, which can drop new throwing weapons and a tradeable level 75 cape.
Summer Beach Party
The Summer Beach Party is in full swing, making Lumbridge Crater the place to be until the end of August!
Activities
Head to the beach party and take a look around. It's the ideal place to relax with your friends, take part in your favourite D&Ds via the portal hub, and enjoy some sun-soaked activities plus pick up some unique rewards.
- Fight Clawdia: At 45 past every hour, killer crustacean Clawdia will spawn at the crater in the middle of the beach party. Her damage scales to your life points, so everyone can dive in and help drive her back.
- Build sandcastles: Follow the clues given to you by the nearby visitors and build the right castles for Construction XP.
- Fish at the rock pools: Cast a line, kick back and get some Fishing XP while you're at it. Drop off the fish at the barbecues for extra XP.
- Bust out the barbecue: Hit the barbecue stands and earn Cooking XP.
- Pick coconuts: Gather coconuts from the palm trees for Farming XP, then deposit them at the coconut shy for extra XP.
- Try the coconut shy: Test your skill at the coconut shy and earn Ranged XP.
Every 15 minutes one of the XP-giving activities will be spotlighted, and it will yield +10% XP. Note that Ironman players earn 50% less XP for participating in beach activities.
You can keep earning XP until your temperature gauge fills up completely, although this can be reset up to three times a day by consuming ice creams.
Rewards
First up, there are a number of handy items that you can earn by fighting Clawdia and participating in other beach activities:
- Ice cream: This tradeable item resets a full temperature gauge to 0. You can use up to three per day.
- Anti-sun potion: Also tradeable, this item gives a +5% boost to any XP earned on the beach that includes beach activities and any other training done there. The effect lasts for 24 hours (real time, not time spent logged in).
- Cocktails: These come in four fruity flavours, each boosting XP gain in a different group of skills combat, artisan, gathering and support. By drinking more of the same type, you can stack the XP boost up to 10%. The effect lasts for 30 minutes of logged-in time.
There's also a rare chance to get a tradeable token that can be redeemed for one of several new beach items. These include cosmetic weapons and headgear, emotes and more:
- Bunting whip
- Stick of rock
- Throwing starfish
- Snorkel
- Bucket head
- Clawdia hat
- Dragon ring
- Buried in Sand resting animation
- Surfboard emote
- Beach ball
- Throwing disc
Note that the tokens will automatically become untradeable at the end of this year.
These items can also be purchased from the vendors around the beach for RuneCoins, as can challenge gems, dwarven challenge barrels, party packs and masterwork music boxes.
Finally, there's a bunch of secret rewards available for fulfilling certain conditions on the beach. Have fun discovering them!

Deze week zijn er twee updates: de nieuwe quest Hero's Welcome en de Summer Beach Party in de krater bij Lumbridge.
Hero's Welcome
In de nieuwe quest maak je kennis met V, een Fremennik over wie je al het een en ander hebt gehoord in While Guthix Sleeps. Vervolgens onderneem je een serie rooftochten langs plekken van de Dragonkin om hun geheimen te ontrafelen en hun plannen teniet te doen. Voor het voltooien van de quest krijg je xp, meer runes bij Runecrafting en toegang tot nieuwe gebieden met bane ore en adamant dragons. Ook krijg je toegang tot een herhaalbaar boss-gevecht, waarvan je onder andere nieuwe werpwapens en een cape van level 75 kunt krijgen.
Praat om de quest te beginnen met Alfrick en Freya, op de pieren in Rellekka. Je moet Lunar Diplomacy, Tai Bwo Wannai Trio en de barbarian training hebben voltooid. Ook moet je 60 Divination, 62 Slayer, 67 Mining en 67 Smithing hebben. Een hoog combat level (100 of hoger) is aangeraden.
Summer Beach Party
Iets luchtiger is het feest op het strand dat in de krater ten westen van Lumbridge is verschenen. Dit blijft in het spel tot eind augustus en bevat een hoop activiteiten met unieke beloningen. Je kunt er zandkastelen bouwen, vissen, bakken op een barbecue, kokosnoten rapen en op kokosnoten gooien. Ook verschijnt er elk uur, om kwart voor, een reusachtige krab genaamd Clawdia in het midden van de krater. Deze kun je aanvallen. De komende weken komen er meer activiteiten bij.
Elk kwartier zal een van de xp-gevende activiteiten in de spotlight staan en 10% meer xp geven. Ironmans krijgen 50% minder xp voor de activiteiten. Je kunt xp krijgen tot je hittemeter helemaal vol is. Deze meter kun je tot drie keer per dag verlagen door ijsjes te eten, deze krijg je van de activiteiten.
Beloningen zijn onder andere de netgenoemde ijsjes, zonnebrand potions die meer xp geven op het strand, en cocktails, die xp-boosts geven aan groepen skills. Door meerdere cocktails te drinken kun je de boost ophogen tot 10%. Ook zijn er een hoop nieuwe voorwerpen, overrides, huisdieren, emoties en animaties die je kunt krijgen in ruil voor ruilbare tokens die je zo nu en dan krijgt. Deze spullen kunnen ook worden verkregen door ze te kopen bij de stalhouders rondom het strand. Deze vragen RuneCoins voor de spullen. Ook zijn er een paar verborgen beloningen.
Seasonal Hiscores
Een aantal oude seasonal hiscores komen vanaf 1 juli weer terug om spelers een kans te bieden de felbegeerde titels te bemachtigen. Kijk voor een lijstje met data, hiscores en titels op het forum.
Live Streams
Net als elke week zijn er weer twee live streams te volgen op Twitch.
Dinsdag 30 juni om 18:00 houden Mods Osborne, Stu, Kelpie, James en Pi een Developer Q&A over Invention. Je kunt er al meer over lezen in de developer's blog van Mod Timbo.
Later op die dag, vanaf 22:00, is de Beach Party Happy Hour met Mods JD en Jon. Tijdens dit uur krijg je meer xp en betere drops bij alle activiteiten op het strand.
