The Guilded Eggstravaganza
04/17/2019
This year Lumbridge is hosting an Eastertime Fete and Gielinor’s guilds have turned up to show off their assorted and sometimes peculiar wares. The best in show will win a special prize!Tasks in this temporary Easter quest include:Cooking a cake pie for the Chef’s Guild.Creating swordsharkuna (a tuna, inside a swordfish, inside a shark – borderline inedible, questionably unethical!) for the Fishing Guild.Helping the Crafting Guild decorate an elaborate ornate egg.Note that players do not need to be a member of a guild to do its part of the quest. Oh, and make sure to take a really close look at that prize egg, won’t you?The Guthix Butterflies are back this year this time with a few changes:The normal butterfly daily cap has now be reduced from 20 to 10, and the xp per catch doubled.There's now a new bonus xp butterfly to catch, the daily cap of these are 10, and they will provide 1.5x the xp that a normal butterfly provides.Also, there's a super xp butterfly this has a daily cap of 1, and this provides 5x the xp that a normal butterfly provides.Ironmen will not be able to receive bonus xp from the butterflies.Avoiding Dental CatastropheAs excited as the Easter Bunny is about the fete, he’s also a little worried – some previously undiscovered hidden eggs have hardened and crystallised over time. Should they be discovered by the fine people of Gielinor and subsequently chewed, then a wide-ranging toothy calamity could result!Therefore, someone needs to collect them all up – and what better way to do so than through the medium of skilling activities? Crystallised fragment drop rates throughout this event will be better when skilling in and around the Springtime Fete area. To help you out, the guilds have provided a variety of skilling areas to work at. Once all the fragments have been gathered together to form a giant egg, the Easter Bunny will do his thang and de-crystallise it, creating a small trove of goodies for all to enjoy! Also - keep an eye out for the hidden eggs scattered around Gielinor, each of which contains a large crystallised chocolate fragment. Additional large fragments can be gained from completing side quests for the guilds. Event rewards include the chickaxe and some special Easter armour.CharitiesOur Easter celebration is also a wonderful opportunity to support two very worthwhile charities. Keep an eye out for the representatives of CPSL Mind and The Prince’s Trust hanging around the fete. Donating to them will not only support their incredible work, but will increase the rate in which you find crystallised chocolate fragments. It's a win-win!CPSL Mind works to provide effective, accessible services across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire (in the UK). Your donation will help Mind to support those recovering from mental health challenges, while also tackling mental health related stigma and discrimination.The Prince’s Trust specialises in helping 11-30 year olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to transform their lives. Many of the young people it helps are in or are leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness and mental health problems, or have been in trouble with the law. Your donation will help to turn their lives around and give them hope for the future.
