SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

While there are some wizards who wish it could be Christmas every day, Sedridor isn’t one of them. He’s been tasked with organising this year’s Wizards’ Christmas Banquet: an annual gathering of RuneScape magic-users usually hosted by the Magic Guild.

Not to be outdone, Sedridor and the tower wizards have an ambitious plan to create an extra-dimensional tower dedicated solely to seasonal cheer. It’s been an administrative nightmare, though: the imps, conjured to act as waiters, are missing; animated decorations are running amok; and the eccentric goblin and troll chef duo are taking a scarily explosive approach to Christmas catering.

Lend a helping hand to decorate the tower, organise the staff and whip up a feast to challenge even the most rotund of robed bellies. As well as a chance to meet plenty of old friends from the wizarding world, there’s also a new emote to be unlocked, a wand to spread festive goodwill to other players, and a tinsel snake pet for members. You’ll also unlock a minigame, only available over the Christmas period, where you can pit parties of battle-ready snowmen against each-other in stone-cold thaumaturgical throw-downs!

To start A Towering Feast:

Speak to Wizard Sinterklaas, outside of the Wizards’ Tower, south of Draynor Village.

Requirements

There are no level requirements, and the event may be completed by both members and free players.
Members will receive a tinsel snake pet, in addition to the other rewards.

In Other News…

It seems that some of the frosty creations from the Wizards’ Christmas Banquet have escaped and are roaming through the world of Gielinor. Lend the wizards a further helping hand by bringing these unruly creations under control! They may appear anywhere, at any time, so keep an eye out; they may also have some snowy surprises hidden on them!
Miners will notice some extra sheen on rocks containing ore. As well as being a shiny visual improvement in itself, this will make it easier to spot rocks that are ready to be mined.
Don’t forget: During the period of 25th of December to the 5th of January you’ll receive 500 bonus loyalty points for each day you log in!
Nex has had the following changes made, in line with player feedback:
Nex no longer attacks while performing a "siphon" attack.
The landslide loses its "climb down" option after you have descended.
The spirit cape's message about cheaper Summoning specials has been added to the spam filter.
The click area on Nex has been doubled.

Ugh, those rock flashes are so ugly and annoying, it's like looking at a strobe light playing RS.

The funny thing is: ' During the period of 25th of December to the 5th of January you’ll receive 500 bonus loyalty points for each day you log in! '

Serious? :/

Also, the mining update looks promissing. I'll have a look on that. Rest of update is…

E: Is it Harry? Oh my…another faillure :(

Wizard sinterklaas sounds like they know wizzup is sinterklaas right?
Or probably another mistake from them.

For those who don't know sinterklaas is a dutch holiday and different from christmas.

Yep. It could be useful for object finding though. It only flashes if there's ore in it. Probably messes up rock_tin and rock_silver though.

It's like the Jagex art developers are 12 year olds who are like "omg flashy shiney stuff is awesome!"… no, it's just annoying to look at, much like their previous graphical "improvements". Or maybe they employed someone from EA/DICE :p

Hopefully legits complain, as it's very very annoying.

They are getting worst. After Bot Nuke, a lot of things changed.
Dunno how will be the future of WOR…but…the game is really 'decaying'!

~onilika

I think it's a safe mode glitch, just like how the money pouch doesn't show up until you take/add money.

Maybe, I don't think so.

Developer console is sorta neat though.
Snows and stacks up.

Jagexs art developers are 8 and are easily amused

Shiny visual improvement? When I was getting 99 mining I didn't have any problem…Maybe those at Jagex need glasses.

:/

Another update in 15 minutes again.. anyone know what this "surprise" is.. it says if u stick around long, u'll see pests and what not :S

I'm getting rage with all these updates! Can't even train dunge :s
What they up to? Too many bugs, or too many surprises to come?

E: There are a few worlds OFFLINE. Including W2 o:

Sounds like something smart!

Is that the Christmas event? :)

EDIT: I've just done it, after some mods decided to troll me witht the rewards! Haha!

Mining rocks seem to be much easier to detect because of the mine and aftermined rocks having distinctly different colors (besides the veins)

I feel like if Jagex makes the rocks much easier to see then the mining scripts will be that much better. Bright and shiny veins that stand out from the rock definitely will help.

There is snow now….

The pet reward is nice.

That whole event was useless, normally I do those events with all of my accounts cause they're fun, but I only did my main.
