Content updates:

  • Summer event 2019
    • We're excited to introduce this year's Summer event which will be active until August 21st, 2019
    • There are a variety of different activities to participate in, all of which earn you Summer gems that can be spent at the event chest
      • Global rewards are back! If you have at least 25 rolls, you will earn FREE rewards when the server reaches certain milestones
      • For more information on the event, speak with the Nature spirit at home!
         
    • Cycled activities
      • Every few hours an activity will be under the "spotlight"
      • The following content can be under the spotlight:
        • 1 hour activities:
          • Raids
          • Boss slayer tasks
          • Barrows runs
          • Skilling tasks
          • Task scrolls
        • 30 minute activities:
          • Impling catching
          • Crystal chests
          • Lava chests
          • Vorkath runs
          • Nardah sarcophaguses
             
    • Summer comets
      • Every hour, a Summer comet will fall from the sky and land in the Catherby summer beach.
      • It can be mined by the entire server for a consistent amount of summer gems until the comet is fully depleted
      • The better your pickaxe, the faster you'll earn gems from the comet!
        • All players have a rare chance to receive 100 gems from one swing
      • This is probably the most relaxed activity in the event, and is great to enjoy while chatting with friends!
         
    • Solarkath (World boss)
      • Every four hours, Solarkath will rise in his lair (non-wilderness), and the entire server can participate in defeating him!
      • Any player who deals at least some damage will receive a drop!
      • Don't worry if you're a low level player! The Nature Spirit will give you an exclusive Summer wand which is required to deal damage to Solarkath; no matter your combat level, all players deal the same damage
        • The summer wand's spell will also grant you Runecrafting experience!

      • Summer dragons (Solarkath's minions) will also spawn around him when he rises!
        • These dragons can also be killed with the summer wand, and have global drops for some extra gems
           
  • Home improvements
    • We have made our final adjustments to Runex home, and you should notice some major improvements!
      • Credits to @Solo Drops for creating majority of the map region via map editor tool
      • Credits to @Kong for designing a large part of the new home's blueprint
    • The raids portal aesthetic has been improved, and is now placed where the leaderboards originally were
    • A new Runex castle has been added, where the leaderboards can now be found (including some new guildmasters!)
      • There is an "Enchanted garden" at the center, containing two magic trees
      • The crystals will be involved for future content. Stay tuned! 
    • A bridge has been created between Edgeville and the adjacent region, where a new Edgeville market has been created for thieving!
    • The altar of occult and the nurse have been conveniently placed right next to the home teleport location (and player respawn point)
    • We now have a yak and chicken pen outside of the Runex castle for new players to train at home!
    • There are many other changes, make sure you log in and see it all for yourself!
       
  • Completionist cape customization
    • The completionist cape can be freely customized & personalized to your liking, including the color of the particle effects!
