What's Happening in December
There's plenty going on this Christmas period in RuneScape! On top of our brand new Christmas Village seasonal update, we've got some other events and bonuses going on over the holidays.
Here's a look at what to expect:
Christmas Village & Black Party Hat
27th November - January 4th
In the land of snow, glistening with holiday cheer, lies a brand new area for you to discover - the Christmas Village!
Here you will find the new seasonal Quest and a whole host of jolly activities with Christmassy rewards for you to discover, as you help Santa and the snow imps to raise Christmas spirit across Gielinor! Collect Nice Points to hand in at Santa's Lodge for the chance to find a Black Party Hat under the tree this year!
Check out our dedicated blog to learn more about the new area, seasonal quest and more.
Weekly Buffs
4th December - January 4th
Throughout December, we'll be introducing a new stacking buff that builds each week until January 4th!
Check out our TWIR on Monday December 4th for a full list of the buffs headed your way this December.
Presents from the Imps
27th November - January 4th
Noel has taken on the role of "official wrapper-er of festive stuff" from the Pete's, but he needs a helpful hand from someone special - you!
You will find Noel near Santa's Lodge and you can help him out this year by collecting up wrapping paper and returning it in exchange for Presents! Wrapping Paper can be earned at regular intervals whilst playing the game, from using Treasure Hunter keys and as part of Treasure Hunter promotions.
Brand new this year is Santa's Christmas present. This new present contains a unique set of untradeable cosmetic unlocks with additional dyes and coins available to earn! Rewards from the presents contain a host of items previously found in Treasure Hunter this year including the Boulder Pet, Hedge Teleport, Azure and Chaotic Ability Override. You'll also get the chance to find 10M coins, Aurora Dye, Soul Dye and this year's new colour of Santa Hat - Purple!
If you already own or earn one of the untradeable items in this present, it will disappear from the pool - so you don't need to worry about duplicates! The only exception to this are the dyes and Purple Santa Hat, which are tradable and you can earn multiples of.
Check out the lists below or talk to Noel any time during the event to see the full rewards!
Presents
This year there are 5 types of Presents! The White/Blue/Purple & Gold have returned from last year, but we have a brand new one in the form of Santa's Christmas Present! No shaking boxes needed here! Take a look at what's inside each kind:
