Easter 2010 Event Guide

A year has passed since Easter Bunny Jr. took over the family business and became responsible for the annual distribution of chocolate treats to the people of RuneScape.

He�s been busy all year, modernising the factory to meet increasing demand and making ambitious plans for the next Easter celebration. Alongside the usual plethora of sugary delights, the Easter Bunny plans to offer a range of alternatives, catering for the wide variety of cultures who celebrate Easter in their own way.

The Bunny�s heart is certainly in the right place, but logistical concerns have come second to his grand vision and now he�s struggling to meet his orders. He needs your help to get things back on track and make this Easter the best yet.


The factory entrance is, once again, located just north of Rimmington. Only the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed will be able to enter, so you'll need to need some help from the factory's staff.

Expansion of the factory means that there are some new faces around this year. By the rabbit hole you�ll meet Charlie the squirrel. Despite his surly manner and warlike countenance he wants everything to run smoothly, so speak to him nicely and he�ll let you into the factory to see the Easter Bunny. Just don�t ask him if that�s a skirt he�s wearing!

The Bunny�s been so busy dealing with clients that he hasn�t had time to deal with the day-to-day running of the factory. Your first job will be to speak to each of the teams in turn and deal with the problems that are holding them up:

The incubator has become dirty and clogged from heavy usage, and the impling manager in charge has delegated performance of the required maintenance to you. You�ll need to lend some muscle to get the machine up and running again.

The implings at the egg-painting machine are running low on the coloured glazes used to decorate the Easter eggs and need your help to mix up a new batch.

The old hands running the conveyor belt have been given some additional responsibility. They now have to sort chocolate as well as nuts from the assorted debris that comes their way. They�re a bit stuck in their ways and have trouble adapting to change, so you�ll need to show them how it�s done.

The Easter Bird is becoming jaded after performing the same role year in, year out and needs a rousing speech to rekindle the strong team spirit and passion for confectionery that once burned within his soul.

Once the factory is up and running again, it�s down to you to manage the available resources to meet the year�s chocolate quota. You'll need to balance your resources and workforce carefully. Gather materials, assign workers to produce tasty treats and deal with any disasters that come up. The Easter Bunny will tell you everything you need to know, but here are a few tips in case you're having trouble:

• Gather plenty of resources early on.
• Stock spares of each material type. The resources used for wages and recruitment or lost during accidents are chosen at random.
• Try to fix broken machines yourself rather than assigning workers to the task.
• If you make a mistake, don't worry. You can always try again once the order is complete or reset the management game by talking to the Easter Bunny.

Once the order is complete the goods must be distributed among the disparate people and cultures of RuneScape. Within each of the three main cities of Lumbridge, Varrock and Falador waits a courier to convey a different cargo of seasonal delights to its intended recipients. Their locations are marked on the map given to you by the Easter Bunny.


Once the Easter treats have been distributed to the couriers and sent on their way to their recipients, you may return to the Easter Bunny for your well-deserved reward. If you managed to complete the order by the Easter Bunny's deadline, the reward will be slightly more special.
