Easter Event 2022
It’s nearly Easter and our favourite Bunny has once again got himself in a bit of a sticky situation! Is anyone surprised?
Easter Bunny hanging around next to a bunch of junk.This time, he’s decided to deliver chocolate to the increasing number of adventurers hanging out in the desert. There’s just one problem: chocolate and heat are not good bedfellows!
In search of an answer he’s come to Al Kharid, the hottest place he can stand, to seek advice. Unfortunately, giant pink rabbits aren’t exactly commonplace in this neck of the woods, and he’s frightened off their best and brightest! Can YOU, as a slightly less weird-looking adventurer, ask around on his behalf?
Help out, and you’ll be rewarded with two eggciting bits of headgear! One is bursting with spring fashion, and the other, while technically a ring, does land you with something on your head once equipped. Eggstraordinary!
An Eggcellent new piece of FashionScape.Revenant Caves Changes
We’ve made an important change to the Revenant Caves: the entrances are now all one-way, meaning you can no longer exit the same way you entered.
One of the Rev Caves entrances & new exit.Instead, there are now two new exits a few tiles away from each entrance. Using these exits will place you neatly on the surface, outside a one-way trapdoor.
Collapsed rubble now surrounds the entrance and new stairs have appeared.Visually, the entrances look the same and all other functionality, including entrance fees, remains the same.

Guardians of the Rift
Before we move on to this week’s changes, a quick PSA. We recently added two more activity worlds for Guardians of the Rift. Unfortunately, the worlds selected are free-to-play and therefore cannot access the minigame. The correct worlds will be available from Monday 18th. Apologies for the delay!
Now, here’s what’s changed this week:
- Players will now gain Polyelemental Guardian Stones when crafting Combination Runes during Guardians of the Rift. They will award 3 Elemental Contribution Points instead of the 2 awarded by an Elemental Guardian Stone.
- The Raiments of the Eye will no longer provide additional Guardian Stones while crafting Combination Runes.
- Players may now sell their excess Abyssal Lanterns and Dyes for 100 Abyssal Pearls and 50 Abyssal Pearls, respectively.
- Increased points awarded for building the first barrier and repairing a cell tile.
- Weaker Guardian Cells can now be upgraded at more powerful altars without having to destroy the weaker Cell.
- Swapped the options on the Deposit Pool so that ‘Deposit Runes’ is now the default left-click option. Maybe keep your entity swapper off for this one!
- Confirm-on-destroy options have been added to Guardian Fragments and all types of Guardian Stones.
- Guardians of the Rift completions have been added to the HiScores.
- The Abyssal Lantern no longer attaches to the Robe Bottoms of the Eye on male characters. Fire hazard averted!
- Wizard Traiborn will now have two dialogue options for players working on Demon Slayer and Temple of the Eye at the same time.
- Fixed a graphical issue that made portals look active at the start of a game.
And here's the issues we hotfixed before today's update:
- The Ring of the Elements may now only be uncharged at a Bank area.
- Players can no longer receive any other Essence Pouches while in possession of a Colossal Pouch. Upon your next login, any extra Pouches will be removed if you have a Colossal Pouch.
- Players with reduced Agility levels can no longer get trapped in side areas of the Temple of the Eye.
In a future update we plan to let you recolour the Lost Bag and Amulet of the Eye, so hang on to your spare dyes if you'd like to recolour these!
