Christmas 2008 Event
By dkwizard1. Filed in Runescape |
The festive season is upon us, and to celebrate we’re presenting you with the result of your Guaranteed Content Christmas poll, in the form of this years’ Christmas event. We’ve also got an appropriately wintery quest for you in Myths of the White Lands. We hope you have lots of fun, and enjoy your Christmas adventures!
Merry Christmas!
A number of slippery ice patches have been spotted in Gielinor, and there is growing concern that someone, or something, is trying to ruin everybody’s Christmas. With so much ice around, the safety of the inhabitants of RuneScape is at stake, and as if that wasn’t enough, disappointed children have been reporting a lack of presents in their stockings! According to imp emissaries from the Land of Snow, the problem originated in their homeland…those of you who remember the result of your Guaranteed Content Christmas poll may have an idea of what lies at the centre of the mystery!
Meanwhile, in Lumbridge, Explorer Jack has heard tales from a chatty snow imp of mythical riches in the Land of Snow. Of course, he leaves the adventuring to younger explorers these days, but he could be talked into rewarding someone willing to fetch these riches for him. In Myths of the White Lands, you will discover what lies at the heart of snow imp lore, and the creatures that accompany it. You will need ingenuity, skill and quick reflexes to succeed in this particularly puzzling quest, which more experienced players may find contains a few extra rewards.
Myths of the White Lands will be available to all players for two weeks, after which it will be available only to members. The Christmas event will be available to all players for two weeks only.

Times are grave this Wintumber… Jack Frost has escaped from the Land of Snow and seems intent upon bringing misery to all those around him. What else could you expect from a surly teenager with a rebellious streak? As if things weren’t bad enough, Santa seems to have gone missing…
The Queen of Snow is eager to see Jack back in the Land of Snow, and has sent some snow imps to look for her wayward son. Imps occasionally have problems sticking to task at hand (why do some dreary chore when you could be playing pranks on humans, after all?) and could do with some direction.
To start the event, you’ll first have to find one of the snow imps. There are three especially important imps, who don’t have to bother with moving around, stationed at the scenes of some of Jack Frost’s vandalism. You can find them in the following locations:
The snow imps will gladly tell you of their woes, and, if you’d like to help out, they’ll provide you with an icy necklace that you can use to summon one of their more proactive friends.
To get started hunting for the nefarious adolescent, wear the necklace and right-click to ‘Operate’ it. You’ll suddenly discover that a snow imp has appeared to give you a hand. Snow imps are naturally aware of extraordinary cold, and can tell when they’re heading towards someone as cold as Jack Frost. As you start moving around, you’ll be able to click on your imp to check whether you’re getting hotter or colder – follow the imp’s directions and you shouldn’t go wrong.
When you’ve tracked him down, your imp will let you know what you have to do to end his reign of icy terror – he’s not a real villain, he’s just a very naughty boy. With the family reunion complete, you’ll receive your reward and can continue on your merry way about RuneScape, comfortable with the knowledge that you’ve certainly saved the world from a cold and lonely Christmas!
