September Raffle & Anachronia Summer Week

08/28/2019

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?! If yes, you’re in for a treat this week, because Balthazar’s Big Raffle is back! Plus, it’s the fourth week of Summer Escape and we’ve got another bumper lot of patch notes for you to read. Go ahead – make our day.

September Raffle

Balthazar Beauregard and his spectacular circus have had a dip in funds this year, so once again they’re hosting a raffle!

Find Balthazar in Burthorpe to receive a free ticket every day. Earn more free tickets by completing a daily challenge and tracking down Gilly Willikers, the travelling clown.

This year a shiny new prize is on offer: the Golden version of Linza the Disgraced’s Barrows equipment! Plus, each ticket will also give you a chance to win prizes from the previous years, including:

  • Golden Godswords
  • Portable deposit boxes
  • Golden Warpriest armour
  • Deathtouched darts
  • Golden Barrows equipment
  • Golden Chaotic equipment
  • Protean packs
  • But remember – you’ve got to be in it to win it! If you miss a day (or several!) you’ll be able to trade Balthazar a bond, and he’ll hand over all the tickets you’ve missed so far – and as a bonus, he’ll also hold on to any tickets you might miss in future.

    Balthazar’s Big Raffle will be available in-game from September 1st to September 30th.

    RuneFest 2019

    RuneFest 2019 will be a blast from the very distant past as visitors take a dangerous journey into The Land Out of Time. Expect dinosaurs! And carnivorous player-eating plants! As you’re travelling around a real-life slice of the island you can look forward to hands-on time with new content, talks and meetups with the JMods, loads of panels, a dedicated LAN area, an art area for meeting the creative teams and of course some very big surprise announcements on the main stage. We’re also bringing back skill chips!

    Kerapac the Dragonkin will be coming alive at RuneFest 2019! We’re happy to announce that we’re partnered with WillowCreative who’s crafting an amazing cosplay of Kerapac – that she’ll unveil in full at RuneFest! Here are some words from her to mark the first step of this collaboration: “Very excited to be portraying an actual dragon soon and I can’t wait to show you what else I've planned for him. Here you see a new animatronic wingframe and the aluminum stilts I already developed for a previous cosplay and Kerapac (the main reason why I wanted to build durable and multifunctional frames)”.

    Facebook Companion

    Our Facebook fans can now enjoy a whole new RuneScape experience: the RS Companion! Whether you want to get the best out of the Land Out of Time with some quick info, explore helpful Guides displayed in the Grand Library, never miss future announcements around RS Mobile or RuneFest 2019, grab exclusive Membership offers (even free stuff!) or need Support, the Facebook Companion has your back!

    The RuneScape Companion is still young and we want to make it the best experience possible with your help. How? Simple, interact with it. The more you have fun (or find bugs in the matrix), the more it will learn!

    LOotScape

    Our live streams are always a great opportunity to grab some awesome in-game prizes. And as our first adventurers set foot on Land Out of Time (or as we call it “LOoT”), we thought you’d like an update of the LootScape. Ok, roll the drums and behold… our LOoTScape!

  • 1 - 2 hunter marks

    Tuesday, August 27th – 16:00 UTC (Game Time) – General Q&A

    We’re back on the sofas to take the time to answer all the questions you might have on pretty much any RuneScape-related topic!

    Join us for a full hour of Q&A where we will cover every single questions we’ve received in the last days on our social channels (Reddit, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, etc) and the ones you’ll ask us directly in the live Twitch chat. Got a question? Then don’t miss this stream!

    LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).

    Saturday, August 31st – 12:00 UTC (Game Time) – Tonix Featured Stream

    This week, our featured streamer is Tonix! Join him for a full action-packed live stream in Gielinor – we’ll reveal all details as we get closer to the stream!

    This featured stream is also an opportunity to grab a LootScape! That’s right, you can now receive in-game loot when you watch a RuneScape streamer. It works exactly the same way as our official streams, just watch Tonix’s stream on (him Twitch channel) and you’ll receive the LootScape the following day.

    LootScape will be enabled (see all details above).
