We've teamed up with our three chosen charities CPSL Mind, The Prince's Trust and YMCA Right Here to bring you an awesome in-game event: Gielinorian Giving.

Mental Health Awareness Week also starts today, and we've got loads of cool stuff happening this week to support this important initiative.

Read on to find out more!

Gielinorian Giving

How to Start

Speak to the charity representatives north of Lumbridge Crater

Requirements

now until 23:59 UTC on 21st May, you can collect Charity Tokens through regular skilling and combat training activities. If you've experienced one of our previous events – such as Agents of Fury or Sprites-Be-Gone – you'll be right at home, but note that you'll get a 20% better return training Agility, Constitution or Prayer this time.

Hand in up to 1000 Charity Tokens per day to unlock rewards, including the Defender of the Mind cosmetic outfit - complete with the Aegis of the Mind shield – and an Angelic Inari pet.

There's also the spectacular Defender of the Mind cape – available Solomon's Store or the event interface (RuneCoins only) for the duration of the event.

If you fancy speeding things up, or if you miss out a few days and need to catch up, you can increase your daily cap on Charity Tokens by spending RuneCoins in the reward shop.

All proceeds sales of the cape and RuneCoins spent in the reward shop will be donated, split between the three charities.

Mental Health Awareness Week

This is just one thing we'll be doing this year to support our chosen charities and the essential work they do in mental health awareness.

All throughout this week, we'll be co-running a Get Started in Games Design course with our partners at the Prince's Trust & Cambridge Regional College. On Thursday & Friday, the group of young adults will spend time at Jagex HQ, working alongside our game developers to build their own games, with an awards ceremony planned for Friday evening.

Separately, we'll have representatives each charity in our offices throughout the week, hosting workshops, drop in sessions and more, as well as jumping on our forums & Reddit to answer your questions!

YMCA – Tuesday: 15:30 – 16:00 Game Time

CPSL MIND – Wednesday: 10:00 – 10:30 Game Time

Prince's Trust – Thursday: 13:00 – 13:30 Game Time

Enjoy!

See you in game, ‘Scapers!
