[August 12th, 2023] Summer Event 2023 & NEW Hunllef Boss!

Recommended Posts

Summer Event 2023

We're excited to bring you all this year's summer event, which will be active until September 14th, 2023!

This time around we went with a slightly different approach for activities and event weapon upgrades..

 

Scourge Dust

Scourge dust is an event sub-currency that is obtainable as an uncommon drop from roaming event mobs.

In addition, it can be obtained by the event side-activity (explained further below)

The dust has multiple uses, which includes:

  • Upgrading your event weapon (up to T3)
     
  • Boosts damage, drop rate, and token amounts from event mobs while in inventory (the more you have, the higher the boosts)
    • +0.1% damage per dust, cap of +25% (250 total dust in inventory)
    • +0.5% drop rate per dust, cap of +25% (50 total dust in inventory)
    • +0.5% tokens per dust, cap of +25% (50 total dust in inventory)
       
  • Once you have a Tier 3 event weapon unlocked, you can also take them to the Purifying Sprite (at the Desert Camp) to convert them into summer tokens

 

Nardah Spotlight

During this event, all monsters inside of the Nardah minigame will drop summer tokens!

Not only that, but during this spotlight there is new limited time content in the minigame:

  • New, limited time summer nardah creatures
  • A summer themed Cursed Mummy called the "Scourge Mummy" with a limited time loot table
    • Also includes the new, limited time "Mystic sand cloak" and "Mystic sand partyhat" in its drop table

Boosts from Scourge dust does not work for these monsters, however this spotlight does not have an hourly limit on tokens received.

In addition, it is stackable with the Nardah cycle activity event

Desert Mining Camp (side activity)

The desert mining camp is a cooperative activity, where you can either create/join public sessions (other players will see it actively listed) or private sessions (only your friends will see it listed).

Parties are limited to a size of 1-5 players

Once you enter, there are multiple spawns of "Scourge beasts" and "Scourge golems". You will also take 20% of your max hitpoints as damage every 30 seconds from the intense summer heat inside of the camp!

  • Stackable food is restricted
  • Trading / dropping items is restricted
  • Summoning / pets are restricted

You are designated a "reward pool" from your work in the camp. In order to actually receive your reward pool, you must kill at least five scourge beasts with your event weapon before leaving or dying. At any time, you can go to the exit gate to view the rewards in your pool before deciding to exit.

The camp is multi-combat and kill credit is shared between party members as long as you deal at least 30% of its health in damage.

The rewards for killing the monsters are added to your reward pool, and are as followed:

  • Scourge beasts add "Scourge essence" and x1-3 coin caskets to your reward pool
    • Bonus rewards such as bags of riches, mboxes, chests, prize keys are also possible the longer you stay inside of the camp without leaving.
  • Scourge golems add "Scourge stones" to your reward pool
    • You can combine x25 stones and x2 essence for x1 Scourge dust!

 

General activities

This event also includes the standard seasonal activities, including:

  • Roaming F2P / Wilderness mobs
  • Global safe boss
  • Wilderness boss
  • Cycled activities

Also, during the event, promotional items will give the following:

  • Promo packages: 10,000 tokens
  • Grand promo packages: 25,000 tokens

 

Hunllef (NEW BOSS)

This boss is going to be one of the most challenging pieces of content on Runex to date! As with its title on OSRS as the HCIM killer, it is sure to claim many HCIM lives within RuneX as well.

It requires a 500m kill deposit in order to fight. (Note: The deposit can be automatically pulled from your bank, and it will also attempt to take plat tokens instead of coins)

If you successfully kill the Hunllef, you will receive your deposit back when you return to the lobby. If you die to the boss or exit, you will lose the deposit. However, there are a few exceptions to this which will safeguard your deposit:

  • You will be refunded if you leave the lair without attacking / provoking Hunllef
  • You will be refunded if you die / leave / etc. while there is a system update timer running

The mechanics work as followed:

  • Hunllef has 2K HP, 800 Defence & a weakness to ranged
  • It has four main attacks: Melee, Ranged, Magic, Tornadoes
    • Ranged & Magic attacks have 4 ticks to pray before they land
    • Tornadoes appear for 5 seconds and follow you. You will take damage if it reaches you.
  • After half of its HP depletes, it will become "enraged" turning itself & its entire lair to a visually red crystalline
    • Enraged phase deals more damage, and soaks 25% of damage taken
  • Attack cycle is 66% chance to be melee during first phase and random selection during Enraged phase

Other useful information for this boss fight include:

  • The Hunllef has 2,000 HP, 800 defence & a weakness to ranged
  • Cannons and summoning is prohibited inside of Hunllef's lair
  • Hunllef is immune to soulsplit
  • Luck tokens are useable for both the standard and superior forms
  • Crystal weapons deal +25% damage and accuracy against Hunllef

Tormented Hunllef (Superior/Challenge variant)

Should you be strong enough to become proficient at the standard fight, a superior fight awaits as well. The superior fight requires a Tormented crystal in your inventory while entering the lair, which is dropped rarely by the Hunllef.

In a general sense, it is much stronger than the standard Hunllef, but also includes some differences in mechanics..

  • Tormented Hunllef's standard attacks are 1 tick faster
     
  • It has a higher amount of max tornadoes that can be actively in the lair
     
  • Every 5 attacks, it will use its special "torment" attack
    • The special attack spawns tornadoes and flings a huge flurry of projectiles around the arena
    • The tormented hunllef will begin using its normal attacks again after 3 consecutive attacks with this special
