Christmas 2007 Event Guide

Introduction

The real spirit of Christmas has returned to RuneScape this year. There are no gublinch plots to foil and no need to clean up anyone's marionette-based mess (thanks, Diango). The Queen of Snow, benevolent ruler of the Land of Snow, has realised she's been a bit lax in her duty to send snow to RuneScape at Christmas.

Snow imps
Realising this, she's sent out a band of snow imps to RuneScape's major cities to make it snow and spread Christmas joy. You'll be able to find snow imps wandering around in Draynor and Falador, with more imps in the members' only cities of Ardougne, Burthorpe and Rellekka.

Snowball fiiight!
These cheerful relatives of imps and implings gain much joy from simply making it snow and watching what other people do with it. What better to do with snow than to collect it into snowballs...and unlike last year, you can throw these snowballs at more than just gublinch - any player you fancy pelting is fair game!

The Event

Alternatively, you could use those snowballs to build a snowman. Just right-click a snowball in your inventory and select 'Build' to start. Then, just 'Add-snow' by left-clicking on your snowman to add more to it - you can help each other to finish off snowmen, as they take a fair bit of snow to make. Once you've made the snowman big enough, it just needs finishing off with some decorations. Talk to one of those cheeky snow imps and ask for a hat to use on the snowman you built. The hats, combined with the magic of the snow imps' snow, will make the snowmen literally come alive. Any players who help to build a snowman will also unlock the new 'Snowman dance' emote.

Snow Tournament

The snow imps will also transport you to the Land of Snow, where you'll be able to build other types of snowmen - ask the snow imps in the Land of Snow for a snowman weapon, and use one of these to finish your snowman. Only snowmen can wield these weapons - there's one for each point of the combat triangle - and they'll happily use them in the Snow Tournament to battle each other. If you throw a snowball at a combat snowman, you'll heal it a little, so you can back your favourite combat skill. Which will come out on top: melee, Ranged or Magic?

Rewards

If you've had a fun time in the Land of Snow, perhaps it would be wise to go see the Queen of Snow and thank her. Who knows... it being Christmas, she may even have a little gift for you in return for your thanks. Something to bring snow all year round...
