RuneScape News

We've got new bundles to support our charity partners for Mental Health Awareness Week, plus another tantalising boardgame update and news about upcoming downtime sessions that will keep everything ship-shape!



Each year, we take a moment during World Mental Health Awareness to pause and reflect on our mental health – how we might improve it, and better support one another.

There are some amazing organisations out there helping those in need, and every year the RuneScape community blows us away with support for our partner charities!

This time around, there are even more ways to bolster the amazing work of CPSL Mind and RAD, two of our charity partners who specifically focused on Mental Health – and grab some goodies in the process.

[h2]2 New MHAW Bundles[/h2]

• Power Bundle* - 250 RuneCoins
  • Rock of Resilience (+15 Charges for the Rock)
    • The Rock of Resilience provides a 4% experience boost for 60 minutes and a 2% experience boost for other players nearby.
• 2 Deathtouched Darts
• 2 Aura Refresh
• 2 Life Refresh
• 2 Box of Clues (untradeable)
• 10 Advanced Pulse Cores
• 10 Cinder Cores
• 5 Large Protean Packs
• 3 Large Skill Dummy Crates

*(Can be purchased up to 3 times. Not available for purchase on Ironman accounts.)

• Cosmetic Equipment Bundle* - 250 RuneCoins
  • 2 Dragon keepsake keys
  • 1 Prismatic Dye
  • 1 Chameleon Extract

*(Can be purchased up to 3 times)

[h2]Returning MHAW Cosmetics[/h2]

[h2]RuneCoin Donations[/h2]
RuneScape fans often go above and beyond even our grandest expectations in their support for others and for charities. To support those who want to give more than the bundles allow, we've set up a repeatable donation package of 50 RuneCoins for those who wish to use it.

While this package doesn’t provide any in-game items or benefits, you will receive the title 'the Resilient' with your first donation through this pack as a thank you for your thoughtful, generous gift to charities in need of your support.

[h2]Our charity partners[/h2]
Proceeds from the sale of the Power Bundle, Cosmetic Equipment Bundle, previous MHAW cosmetics and any Runecoin Donations will support two of our charity partners who focus specifically on mental health: CPSL Mind and RAD. Here’s a reminder of the valuable work they do.

[h2]CPSL MIND[/h2]
CPSL Mind provides support to individuals experiencing mental health problems in the Cambridge and Peterborough area, where Jagex is based. Their STOP Suicide campaign aims to prevent suicide by raising awareness and giving ordinary members of the public the skills and confidence they need to help those at risk.

[h2]RAD[/h2]
Rise Above the Disorder (RAD) began as one gamer's mission to overcome depression and has turned into a massive worldwide community aiming to make mental health care available to everyone, everywhere. RAD provides entirely free mental health services to gamers through its grant program and has helped over 28,000 people find the hope and happiness they deserve.



By now we expect you’ve seen the news – we’ve partnered with Steamforged to bring the magical world of Gielinor to the tabletop in RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg!



Steamforged are releasing weekly blogs in the build up to their Kickstarter on May 31st. Tune in to learn all about how to play the game, and be among the first to see new cards and minis!



The latest blog gives first sight of the player character sheet, covers how skilling works in the game and reveals the latest player avatar mini – the archer.



When danger strikes, the archer ensures no foe gets close enough to pose a threat! Completing the melee, magic, and ranged combat triangle, the archer gives you a full selection of combat-focused minis to choose from.

Inspired by early-game ranged gear, archers are equipped with a Shortbow and Bronze Arrows. Like their weapons, their Leather Body, Chaps, and Boots are cheap and easy to come by — ideal for someone just beginning their journey in RuneScape Kingdoms.

Steamforged's Kickstarter will only run for 10 days, so sign up here and be the first to know when it goes live!



We'll be conducting some essential maintenance on a variety of our systems during the month of May.

There will be some downtime on each of the systems as the modules are moved, but we expect this to be at most 30 minutes for each area affected! Here's a look at what systems will see some impact over the next month:


If you're already in-game during any maintenance impacting login or world-hopping, you should be able to continue playing with no impact - though we would advise avoiding any risky activity, just to be safe!

Stay tuned to @JagexSupport on Twitter for updates on each deployment.



Don’t forget that Vic The Trader is in town, and ready to trade your bonus XP for credits! You can use them to stock up on Lamps, Skilling Outfits and more.

He won’t be around forever though – adventure calls and May 15th is the last day you can visit Vic before he disappears. Until next time…



Tuesday May 10th | 16:00 Game Time | RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg Digital Playthrough

See the RuneScape Kingdoms board game in action for the first time with Steamforged and a couple of special J-Mod guests!

See you on Twitch!

Anachronia gets a skilling update this week, and Vic the Trader is back in Burthorpe! Plus, we’ve got Kickstarter dates for the RuneScape boardgame – and that all-important box art reveal...



This update brings new training methods for a couple of under-served skills. Firemaking and Fletching, it’s your time to shine!

The action takes place down on Anachronia Farm, where Prehistoric Potterington is embarking on a new project to rustle up high-yield fertiliser. She’s making use of the area’s stinkiest (and most distressingly abundant) resource: huge dollops of fragrant dinosaur doo-doo!

Hold your nose to hit the new training stations and you could score some fantastic fletching components and lots of lovely XP. Plus, you’ll have the chance to create best-in-slot T95 arrows and imbue them in one of four ways, making awesome Elder God Arrows with specific combat effects. It’s the perfect preparation for the upcoming T95 Bow, arriving with the fifth Elder God boss this summer!

To get started, visit Prehistoric Potterington and ask her about zygomites to begin this update's tutorial. You’ll need the following:

• At least 82 Fletching or Firemaking (95 is required to engage with all of the content).
  
• Completion of Elder God Wars: Extinction

Anachronia is a members-only area, so make sure your subscription is up to date!
For all the poo-ey details, check the blog: https://rs.game/mayskilling



Vic The Trader is back in Burthorpe for two weeks from May 3rd! Trade your Bonus XP for XP lamps, skilling outfits and other goodies.

It's an easy way to stock up on essentials, so be sure to visit Vic before he leaves Burthorpe on May 16th!



Excited for the upcoming RuneScape boardgame from our partners at Steamforged? Well get your diaries out, because they’ve just announced that it's coming to Kickstarter on May 31st!

Steamforged’s Kickstarter will only be live for 10 days, so be sure to follow the campaign or you might miss out…

And if that's not enough, Steamforged are also revealing another mini! Last week we got a first look at the knight and the wizard, plus the mighty Elvarg herself. Today, we say hello to the skiller! Check 'em out:



Want to find out more? Head to our announcement blog here for more info, or check out the weekly blogs from Steamforged as they build up to the Kickstarter.

Want to back the game on Kickstarter? Follow the campaign here so you're ready for launch.

We can finally reveal the name for the RuneScape board game – and show you some gorgeous minis! We've also given Extinction a few tweaks and fixes, so watch out for spoilers in the Patch Notes…



Hopefully you’ve heard the news about our partners Steamforged bringing Gielinor to tabletop – and we hope that you’re as excited as we are! Well we've now got a name – and we can reveal the first three minis!

Introducing RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg, a cooperative campaign board game for 1-5 players, set in the fantasy world of Gielinor!

Explore from above with a game board styled like a fast-travel map, jumping from region to region as you level up your skills and complete quests. Zoom in for face-to-face encounters with iconic bosses that become even tougher as you work your way toward the final quest!

Every group member can play their way, maxing skills to level up and earn those all-important Capes.
Now, about those minis… Steamforged have developed a unique mini style for RuneScape Kingdoms inspired by iconic versions of outfits, NPCs and bosses from the past 21 years. This look is inspired by RuneScape's low-poly roots, but with all the detail you’d expect in a modern mini. We can’t wait to get our hands on ‘em!

Highlights from this Strike include:

[h2]Top-level Mobile Interface[/h2]

Spring has sprung, and we sure are ready for it after a long winter. What better way to welcome the new season to Gielinor than with the return of the Spring Festival? Oh, and be sure to check out our Easter-themed Treasure Hunter for more eggscellent rewards! Let's crack on...#



Spring Festival returns today, so get skilling and put some sunshine in your step with a plethora of lovely rewards! Head to the area south of the Archaeology Guild to take part until April 24th.

• Skill at three stations, each awarding Spring Tokens and XP:
  
• Potion Brewing: Mix up some magic and earn either Herblore or Cooking XP - mmm, smells good!
  
• Icon Carving: Getting artsy with a tree trunk or two will earn you XP in either Fletching or Crafting. Who wood have thought.
  
• Stone Celebration Take a whirl around the standing stone and whip up some juicy XP in either Agility or Prayer!
  
• Note: Ironman accounts can get rewards from these activities, but cannot benefit from unlocked multiplier buffs.

Every hour, players will be blessed with the arrival of a giant butterfly! Formed of thousands of little butterflies, players will need to remove the little ones and return them to the Tree of Balance. From this activity, players can gain extra XP, increased event tokens and more chances for the Mystery Boxes! Expect a flood of activity when the butterfly swoops in…

Once you’ve got your Spring Tokens, you can spend them at Thaerisk's Surplus Spring Supply Shop. Goods for sale include:

• Past rewards like Crux Eqal and Butterfly Outfits, plus the new Egg-cited title.
  
• Consumables like Lamps and Stars.
  
• A Mystery Egg which rewards four items, including the chance to find Cosmetic Tokens and Butterfly Jars!
  
• Note: Ironman accounts can only get cosmetic Tokens – any other rewards from Mystery Boxes will be converted to Oddments.

Treasure Hunter goes Easter-themed from Thursday April 14th to Wednesday April 20th. Jump in for some truly eggsquisite rewards!

There are loads of festive cosmetics up for grabs, including the adorable Peep the Chick pet and the Woodland Fox Ears and Tail. These new items are tradeable too, so you can sell them on or buy them from other players using your GP.

As you use keys, you'll also earn progress to unlocking the Egg Smasher outfit! Definitely one to shell out for…
