Mental Health Awareness Week

10/10/2019

Wow! What an exciting weekend that was. Dinosaurs, volcanoes, minigolf… RuneFest had it all. We announced a bunch of thrilling new updates coming to Gielinor, including the Archaeology skill, Herblore and Farming 120, and the Elder God Wars Dungeon.

Mental Health Awareness Week

It's time to train with your brain once more! Just like last year, we're holding an in-game event to help raise money for our partner charities: The Prince's Trust, CPSL Mind, and You Are RAD.

From October 7th to October 13th, you'll be able to collect charity tokens while you skill in-game. Hand those tokens in to the charity reps north of Lumbridge Crater to earn progress towards this year's rewards, including the Defender of the Mind Wings, and a Cuddly Brain Plush for you to hold.

More charity tokens will be available to purchase from the event interface. You’ll also be able to trade RuneCoins for previous years’ rewards, including that adorable yeti pair, Percy and Scoop! All money raised from the event will be split between our three partner charities.

The charity rep NPCs - Laur'a, Zoed, and Kal - have plenty of information about the work their charities do. They also have some top tips on how to manage your own wellbeing. Each day, they’ll have a mental health-related question for you: answer correctly, and you’ll win a prize.

Together we've raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to support mental health charities over the years. Let's keep it up!

RuneFest Recap

When we weren't busy hunting penguins and earning skillchips at RuneFest, we announced a bunch of thrilling new updates coming to Gielinor, including the Archaeology skill, Herblore and Farming 120, and the Elder God Wars Dungeon.

Patch Notes

Time to take a deep breath, brew up a nice cuppa tea, and read through this week’s patch notes? Here are some highlights:

  • Removed the additional prayer buffs when a combat boosting prayer or curse was active that provides the benefits of other prayers. These include the T95 and T99 curse prayers. The detailed benefits can be found in the Active Prayer interface.
  • Updated the buff bar timer to have the full minutes displayed.
  • Added numeric values to both the Health and Adrenaline bars on mobile.
  • Newsletter Competitions
