25th Anniversary Event: 25 Years, 25 Mementos

  • This year marks 25 years of RuneScape and 13 years of Old School, bringing the perfect opportunity for a brand-new anniversary event!

  • Start the event by talking to the Apprentice Wizard Gary Grayzag in southern Varrock, and help him open a portal to the Realm of Memories, a place where you can see and fight versions of creatures from the history of RuneScape. Think you've been there before? Well, there are more memories now - including the retro Kalphite Queen in her 2004-style glory!

  • New rewards, inspired by Tim & Crunchy and by the event itself, await those who complete the event:

    • 25th Anniversary Helmet

    • 25th Anniversary Skeleton Tabard

    • 25th Anniversary Warrior Tabard

    • 25th Anniversary 5x5 Hat

  • Plus, mark your calendars for our upcoming Anniversary Livestream on February 27th 16:00 UTC, where we'll be joined by MMORPG, Zecookies and Megan!

Deadman: Annihilation Tweaks

  • To complete the “Have Prissy Scilla protect your Magic tree” task in the Western Province Diary, you can now pay Prissy Scilla to protect the tree.

  • Summoned thralls via the spellbook will now last twice as long if you have the Sigil of the Augmented Thrall unlocked.

  • Deadman Chests for Artio/Callisto, Calvarion/Vetion, Spindel/Venenatis now spawn outside of their cave entrance, allowing you to attempt to loot the chests without constantly being attacked by the bosses.

  • The Trinket of Avarice will now also loot bones from NPCs automatically.

  • Your noted items will now stack as intended even if your Looting Bag is full when you have the Trinket of Avarice active.

  • The risk calculation when attempting to enter a raids area is now based on high alch value, instead of grand exchange value. Accordingly, the required value has also been lowered to 500,000 GP from 800,000.

  • Since parts of the Ruins of Unkah breach occur in a safe zone, the location has been removed.

  • Breach NPCs will no longer spawn on water.

  • The Deadman skull countdown timer for the 2am breach now shows the remaining time left correctly.

Sailing Tweaks

  • The current restrictions for UIMs on the Cargo hold have been removed. UIMs will be able to use the Cargo Hold like regular Ironmen - no more limited capacity!

  • We’d love your feedback! Should the colours of Steel and Iron cannonballs be swapped to better match their appearance elsewhere in-game, and should the same change also apply to Steel and Iron nails? Share your thoughts in the comments on the dedicated update post across our social media platforms.

Other Changes

  • We've made some feedback changes to the music system improvements from last week:

    • Your mobile and desktop clients will now remember their volume settings separately. Meaning if you're an audio-enjoyer when gaming at home but don't want the entire bus to hear you blasting tunes on your way to work, your mobile client will remember its own muted settings.

    • We've made it even easier to tell at a glance which track you're vibing along to with a handy recolour - and yes you can pick the colour from the settings!

    • The "now playing" text above the music list can be clicked to read the unlock hint and to add/remove the track from a playlist.

  • Fixed an issue with right-clicking Eluned in Prifddinas to recharge crystals, they will now charge correctly.

  • Resolved a host of Z-buffering issues:

    • Clipping issues have been fixed for the following:
