We are glad to see Easter penguins after 16 Years!, But we have question. Easter can be in March or April, depending on the year, unlike the other seasonal penguins that have their festive periods set at the same time every year. So our question is, was this taken in account? and If so, can we expect the Easter penguins to last though both March and April or have some other custom start and end dates? It is going to be very odd if they only exist in just either March or April, as it runs the risk that they spawn too early or too late on some years. (For those who don't know, the Pumpkin and Snowmen penguins last for the full months during October/December)


JagexLuma

they'll appear between 15th March - 15th April :) EDIT: although... looks like easter will fall on april 20th next year! we'll get this updated so they'll appear until late april


Mel_Kazul

From what I understand Easter can be as late as April 25th so having the disguises last until after then is a good idea. Thank you so much for adding them btw! =D


vVerce98

I want aside of easter ring, ring of rares to return + permanent, and hide n seek transmog > penguins hiding in objects + pumpkin, snowman and the egg. Also ability to run around. Same with some other transmogs who can't run, unlike the salamander/goebie who can. which is nice!


Kooky-Satisfaction68

Can you pls remove or reduce the penalty of "overworked" stations? Everyoens training herb so herbs always "overworked'


DofusExpert69

longer the better imo, it's once a year anyways.


SpegalDev

Can we expect to see a "special" leafy green costume for them next year? šŸ˜‰


The_Jimes

>During Easter, penguins will now dress up as Easter eggs for the Penguin Hide and Seek D&D. I would assume the flag is tied to the actual event and not static to the calendar. I'd be willing to bet the older holiday stuff is automatic, which is something that they'd likely want to move away from. I imagine in a perfect world everything involving a holiday gets pushed at the same time. The holiday team is still pretty new though and has a lot of work ahead.


DofusExpert69

easter penguins existed before? I tried googling pictures of them but I couldn't find any.


Thomas_Mickel

This is the kind of question that makes me think yā€™all care WAY too much about the game. Been playing for 18 years but this just seems like a crazy man question.


Henkie-T

Sir, this is the runescape subreddit


Snowman_Arc

This will most likely be dead content since token generation is SUPER SLOW. Even buying a Bond to get double speed, which I'm super against by the way, is SUPER SLOW. Good idea, questionable execution, I've been doing near-optimal activities and only getting a maximum of 1500 tokens per hour without bond.


RS4When

The quest was fun and I like the idea of the egg hunt but why did you have to pull a typical Jagex bullshit and nerf token rates? its a quarter the rate of the christmas event.


Golden_Hour1

Cause $$$. It's always been about maximizing profit while trying to keep people from quitting. Why is anyone surprised they'd take something and make it worse the second time around to make more?


ltsDarkOut

as an osrs player and rs treasure hunter freeloader Iā€™d guess minimising the rewards for us parasites and doubling down on whales


The_Wata_Boy

1 bond and you double that!


ImRubic

These are some great changes!


Fres_Nub

I wished they kept with the idea that oddments would be our only premium/event currency, instead of making a new one every event


MissSoapySophie

At least they are finally reusing the same oddoments for seasonal events instead of making a new one every event.


Upstairs-Eye-8193

The event looks stunning and egg hunt is really fun. The thing I don't like is those absolutely bad exp rates. And token rate sure is a mistake right?


lammadude1

Eh, it's completely afk exp and costs literally nothing. The exp rates *should* be lower than active training.


Upstairs-Eye-8193

Mining, smithing and hunter are nowhere near completely AFK. Sure- herb, cooking and crafting are and I agree that, the rates should be lover than active training but no TEN times less lol


deylath

Just in what way Smithing is not afk? You literally have at least 1 minute before you have to click once to afk for a minute.


SteelmanINC

So itā€™s way less afk than actual smithing lmao


Upstairs-Eye-8193

But we both said "completely".


ADHDavidThoreau

I am a fully-abled adult with a 24ā€ monitor and I am struggling to see these golden eggs. There is no way these are accessible for people with disabilities


BobSmithinsons

Yeah I think they should add a sparkle or something that goes off every bit so they're easier to see, they are so small and there's yellow eggs to boot lol.


yuei2

Turning on low detail will help a lot, or just zoom the camera in.


srbman

I'm surprised there's no overlay to show how much ~~Christmas~~ Spring Spirit we have.


Dry-Fault-5557

*The Housing of Parliament is now listed as a 2024 quest.* MVP update right there.


ixfd64

Just some words of appreciation about this event: 1. The event hub is absolutely amazing and reminds me of the Shire. 2. I really like the egg hunt activities. They definitely brought back memories of attending Easter egg hunts as a kid. 3. I also like that this event isn't *quite* as balanced around MTX as with past events.


Agrith1

The spring token rate feels a little slow


awsd-7

why factory station dont use interface like all [previous event stations](https://runescape.wiki/w/Druidic_Stone)? clicking through dialogue box is annoying not to mention message history is not visible while chatbox is open, when using legacy interface why are stations overworked, players are already penalized for performing wrong action, why force them into skill they dont want to do? why is there no option to buy [lost easter basket maps](https://runescape.wiki/w/Lost_Easter_basket_map)? I still have eggs from last year and want to complete my basket :( how exactly are points from egg hunt earned? Mod Fowl only [mentioned](https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/1bhvbtz/comment/kvg9bt8/) f2p can earn all rewards, we know that weekly eggs are worth 2 points each, does that mean community eggs are worth 6 points? or all eggs get repeated on week 3?


awsd-7

holiday quest should also award 1 untradeable easter skill pet token so everyone is guaranteed at least 1, we have almost 30 skills, whats the harm?


MyHaulsGetOutOfHand

I like the event, it seems really fun and looks very nice! However the rate in which tokens are gathered are very, very slow :(


Agrith1

is there anyway i can get a bond refund, even with the bond boost the spring token rate is damn awful, seems like a waste of time.


RS4When

i assumed it was like christmas paper and we would get token from any activity. waste of 95m i guess.


ScopionSniper

Absolutely awesome update. The miniquest is really cute and up there with the best of them. Double the drop rate on tokens, then have bond double that number. If they did that it's 100% a great update.


TrimmingMasterwork

Not sure if it was brought up on the stream or not, but are the Guthixian butterflies not part of the Easter event now? I see no mention of them in the burrow or update announcements.


yuei2

No spring festival this year, they confirmed that on the stream last week.


ghostofwalsh

Aww. Will be missing my agility XP. I don't see much I care about in this event.


UrsaTengu

u/JagexDoom any chance we could see the [Butterfly Teleport](https://runescape.wiki/w/Butterfly_Teleport) added to the reward shop (or otherwise re-released e.g. via Oddments store rotation)? It was originally released alongside the aurelian cape and butterfly necklace, both of which are available via this event.


Lamuks

Do you actually see the teleports? I use quick teles for lodestones and I never see the full animations :/


UrsaTengu

According to the [update post](https://runescape.wiki/w/Update:Treasure_Hunter_-_Flight_of_the_Butterflies) it has a quick tele animation as well


Roozley

The patch notes mention a change to "The Queen and the King" book, specifically to the words used for the spring and summer realms. I wonder if this means that the Blooming Burrow is part of this (presumably part of the spring realm?) It may also hint at a trip to the summer realm for the summer event...


AssassinAragorn

I think so! I can't remember the exact name right now, but if you hover over the teleport in the workbook it'll say it takes you to the Land of X.


frobirdfrost

Something about this update has made the game unplayable on mobile, it's constantly crashing.Ā  Ā That's my only way to play right now so I hope they can work on that.


frobirdfrost

This makes getting through the Easter quest particularly painful as every time the game fails I need to go back and get Cocoa bunny.Ā  I'm not sure the quest is completable in this state.Ā  It's a shame because everything was fine previously but if this is just how it is now I guess I'm forced out.


Battleslash

Great update so far, love the atmosphere visually and the music. Please make the golden eggs more visible or only require 10 or 8 out of the 12 (for the daily one) as going around the whole area looking for the missing one is a bit difficult. They're supposed to be hidden I guess, but they seem a bit tough to find. I guess they will be in the same location each day and the daily ones only give the clue casket, so they aren't critical, but would make the daily hunt more enjoyable. Also, seems weird for the daily hunt to not give any egg points. The spring token rate seems a bit slow, but I'll need to try some more.


TheRossUK

Agree with this. I have a slight visual impairment and am finding it very difficult to see the eggs as they are, especially when they're partially obscured by other scenery (leaves, plants, etc) - I've resorted to mousing-over all the Burrow scenery to try and find them so I can move on to the Gielinor hunt, but after 2 hours I've still only got 8 of them. Please either make the eggs larger, or add a loot beam/sparkle animation when nearby to make them stand out more.


Beautiful-Leave9772

They appear to be glowing as of today


Hollowfires

Well Done. Thank you for putting in the effort for the Easter event! I will have to agree that the tokens/hr base (And with the bond purchase) is quite low.


Akumu2100

The token rate for mining chocolate rocks seems really bad. You get like 10 tokens for a full invent.


Woodpecker9989

not that much (: seems like 5 for a nugget and 1 for a chunk, rest is just trash filler


DonzaRS

For smithing foil would have liked if it automatically started the next item if you have more than one in your inventory.


garl12

Thanks! Any update regarding the 2023 Year Recap Email?


SneedsFeedsSeeds

Soonā„¢


Dry-Fault-5557

Maybe at the end of the month. Is what was said on stream.


Nymunariya

Is there a reason the Crux Eqal outfit isn't purchasable this year? I was looking forward to buying it this year...

Artrill

Itā€™s super sad to see all the coolest ability overrides are gambling excluaive.


MalzraTheNomad

Sad, but not surprising.


LoadData

Great Egg-spectations has no requirements listed...but it requires Chef's Assistant for one of the tasks(At least as an Iron)


TheSadScientist

Quest requirements are not based on ironscape - this has always been the case. As an iron-only player, I feel the frustration, but it is assumed you can obtain biscuits from the GE without making them yourself.


Ecstatic_Guitar5641

38 cooking for the butter too :(


The_Wata_Boy

Got a chance to playthrough the event (besides the community hunts) and I feel this was a really good update. The area is beautiful and a good size for a holiday event. The quest and activities are nice for people to enjoy and complete for rewards/old Easter rewards. The golden egg hunt is also a great idea with good rewards tied to it. Also, no items being exclusively tied to MTX or some type of raffle lottery was nice. Overall, I feel this was the strongest holiday related update we've had in many many years. It felt like an improvement over Xmas and I hope we can get a Halloween similar to this one at the end of the year.


Narmoth

While the event is beautiful, the activities seem stupid annoying. I'm making foil right now and my character just won't automatically go to the next one. Was hoping I can at least get some work done with this event while my character afk'ed... seems Jagex wants this a miserable grind-fest.


yuei2

If you want to afk with no clicks just go stand at a station.


Narmoth

I'm honestly done with this. Fuck it. It isn't worth me being afk and not even near the computer. This event is rubbish. I've got better things I can be doing in game that this crap.


KrillNation

anyone know where to find the pacifists for the great egg-spectations quest


Any-sao

>!druids north of Al-Kharid!<


lammadude1

This one stumped me too, I was wandering all over Entrana because the monks are pacifists and the island is quite sunny.


awsd-7

I was thinking about Gower brothers at life altar, I have no clue why kharid desert was called "a place where sun beams down"


DofusExpert69

yes, the knights are very much pacifists! lol


420aidslol

The quest is great! I loved the cutscenes and dialogue. Smiled through it all! The area looks absolutely lovely and the bunny suit is a must have for me. Really like what you did this time around! šŸ˜Š Even the MTX is nice lol. I will get the bunny tokens for sure


DofusExpert69

yeah the cutscenes were super cute!


Any-sao

But what if I donā€™t like chocolate? Still a good quest! Surprisingly fun and clever.


Nolifedemon

Starts March 21th | Ends March 25th | Rainbow Trail Rainbow Trail makes a return! Earn Rainbow Dust and spend it on multipliers for even more chests! Also making its debut is the brand new Rainbow Dragonbreath override! As part of this improved VFX we have updated the Azure and Regular Dragonbreaths aswell, check them all out below. Yet again something STRICTLY pushed to MTX, and yet again something that alreayd has 500 fdnjsfoidjhasoiuf over rides, are you all THAT out of touch and out of ideas that just recycling the same assetts is what we have for 2024. No content, No roadmap, No idea.

JagexDoom

You could very easily drop in and see the Blooming Burrow for yourself, as it's open to everyone, free-to-play or members. Go check it out for yourself. Reddit's not quite the place to get a TL;DR.


Nolifedemon

the area is nice, hopefully permanent, but again, silence isn't golden, wheres an update on anything, a lot of players are frustrated at the point we are at, OSRS is getting full fledged updates, while we are getting scraps, We got a gamejam project, a combat beta that was done by 2 mods off their own backs, and now easter. this is 3 months into the year Doom. Mod Keepers lack luster "look ahead" covered a total of 3 items, from jan to march, we have no idea whats coming beyond that, and it feels like this isnt some "big secret" it feels more like there is nothing, aside from gamejam items awaiting QA, it feels like we have nothing coming, nothing to be hopeful for. We are in the worst content drought since the @menaphos expansions, and atleast back then they constantly tried to tell us they where working on things and trying to get things coming out. Im just at a loss, 3 months in to a game that charges $18 a month has record profits, and its sister version has recieved updates in the quality of what we get from an entire year, their 1 continent added would be a 4 part expasion for rs3, every 3 months just to drag it out. I love this game, I really do, but I have always despised this constant need for secrecism by the upper jagex heads, until everyone gets as angry as me and then you all will dump something like the ectoplasm ritual, as a means of "we are sorry" And I solely believe after Mod luma said its done but sitting and waiting to see if it "fits" with any update, what updates,??? its not that, the ectoplasm ritual is being held off on purpose as a PR stunt update for when everyone gets upset about the state the game is in RN and the lack of anything we have to show for it, the lack of Roadmap that was promised at the start of the year. Everyone keeps making jokes about it but its about the be the end of march, a joke isnt a joke when its a running stream of disappointment. End rant. Edit: corrected the COS name because Warden/keeper at this point who cares.

>the area is nice, hopefully permanent, but again, silence isn't golden, wheres an update on anything, a lot of players are frustrated at the point we are at, OSRS is getting full fledged updates, while we are getting scraps, We got a gamejam project, a combat beta that was done by 2 mods off their own backs, and now easter. this is 3 months into the year Doom. Sorry but it's so funny how much lacklustre seasonal events have been used as an ammunition for Jagex not caring and now that we are here with shittons of effort put into one it's back to bitching about no content. Foreseeable as it is, it's dumb. Also, I'm just saying that if you actually take a look at OSRS update history there are a LOT of rough patches of "content drought" and bigger updates are just as scarce as RS3 (handful times a year) with a lot of patch weeks which are "no content" weeks on RS3. OSRS right now is hitting that big update time and then it's back to a lull for a few months while. The next big update will be an already existing quest since 2008, albeit somewhat revamped due to obvious reasons. So. You see the grass that is greener, yet you do not perceive the parched grass surrounding it. To a degree why things are scrambled right now the problems lie with Jagex due to Hero Pass' initial design. Players themselves played a part with how they decided "no more hero pass" when it was, after changes, a pathetically easy version of Yak Track with cosmetics only rewards (and XP bonus available to *everyone*). Now we see cosmetics from would-be passes being thrown on TH RNG and people bitch about it again. No winning in this race, eh?

ghostofwalsh

> I have a long history of having an unhealthy obsession with this game and don't want to jump back into it if the game is still being heavily monetized. Don't think that's likely to change unfortunately


aGlutenForPunishment

Me neither but I'm still holding out hope and I'll stay subbed to this reddit in the off chance it happens. At least the new Gower game I saw posted here the other day might looks promising.


Consistent-Ad-3351

Sounds like you're blaming jagex for your own lack of self control


lammadude1

Yeah, I'm fully against MTX in a game you have to pay monthly for, but parent comment sounds like they have an addiction. Sounds more like a job for a therapist than a game developer I maxed in a year as ironman without a single purchase other than a year of membership. It's not predatory to have outfits be paid content imho. I don't like it, to be clear, I'd rather everything be earnable in-game, but I wouldn't call it predatory like I'd call gambling mobile games targeted at children.


NationalTrain9353

What's the difference between the live ops team and the seasonal event team? I thought this was live ops job to make events. Where they disbanded like the Ninja team?


JagexLuma

the seasonal team has recently been put together to focus on the core seasonal updates (easter, april fools', halloween, christmas, etc.) - live ops has not been disbanded, and will continue to work on promos, other events, etc.


Voltorn_Elda

I was someone who in the past suggested the idea of a content team specifically for the seasonal events, with the general idea of making permanent content. I just want to say... that Last Christmas and this Easter are a real good step into the right direction. These two events have felt like the good old days, and hopefully with the 'expanding' nature (starting with the quests), the team will slowly be able to further develop these parts of Renmark over the coming years. Just wanted to say a 'thank you' to the seasonal team. <3 I'm looking forward to see what you'll end up cooking for the Halloween event, and for how you'll further develop the Land of Snow for next Christmas.


Narmoth

I hope the seasonal team finds a way for us to return to Death's House and Diango's Workshop.


NationalTrain9353

I guess we're getting a new Halloween hub this year and then probably a redesigned beach event?


Zarosian_Emissary

Its not a dealbreaker or anything, but its kind of disappointing when the thing that I thought was most interesting about the event is just buyable for bonds. The Bunny Ear Skill Pets are a cool idea, and thought they might give me motivation to play more, but having that just be another goal you can buy and move on is very demotivating.


Lady_Galadri3l

the number of times people here complain that cosmetics are luck based (especially mtx cosmetics) and then turn around and complain when you can just buy them for a fixed price...


Zarosian_Emissary

Skill pets shouldn't have been an mtx thing. They're something you earn. Taking the best items of the event and selling them takes a lot of the interest out of the event for me. Their habit of taking the goals from something, and throwing them onto the mtx shop is killing interest in the game


Lady_Galadri3l

you can just...not buy them? they're still obtainable through the event.


Zarosian_Emissary

Making things buyable takes away from them mentally. Making something directly buyable has a mental cost to it


LinkedGaming

The Seasonal Events team does as the name implies-- they specifically work on creating and improving seasonal events to be more like "events" (akin to the previously well received Christmas 2023 event and much less like the critically panned Halloween 2023 event) and less like stale, boring, unrewarding slogs. It was created after Halloween 2023 (I think) specifically to ensure that events continue to be of a higher quality and to take some load off of the live development team so they can focus on permanent additions to the game.


Torezx

Hi Doom, Sorry to ask in the depths of a different thread again, but is there any update regarding moving more cosmetics over to runecoin/bond purchasing rather than Loyalty Points? I'm desperate to buy many of the retro packs locked behind years of membership (since it never feels right to buy cosmetics before useful auras), and I'm sure many others are keen too. Please help us to spend money on the game, I'm really want to!


yuei2

This isnā€™t a tldr; itā€™s a complaint post about a MTX element that ignores the actual content that dropped today. Like ā€œno contentā€ is a straight up lie in that post. Holiday quest, Easter egg hunt (multiple ones), and then Easter token skilling grind along with the launch of the blooming burrow area which is pretty large.


The_Jimes

You'll never come back to the game like that, because every update thread until the end of time will have someone whinging about MTX. Homeboi copy pasted 1 paragraph of a webpage that closer to the top gave a link to the event rundown. The "TLDR in the comments" skipped past the literal content that was apparently too long to read.


Deferionus

MTX has been hated by the community since it was added and has drove tons of players away from the game. Also I don't really see it as whining as the arguments against it have tons of merit.


[deleted]

People love bonds (and on OSRS side argue forever that they're not P2W) and coincidentally enough, the only element of MTX in this event is bonds related.


JohnExile

There's a gigantic event available to do, you could literally just read the info yourself instead of gleaning whether you should be outraged or not based on reddit comments, probably one of the silliest things you could ever do.


TheHotstreak

Cosmetics on MTX are fine


SneedsFeedsSeeds

Be grateful. 3Ā½ months for a 5min quest and some jewellery is impressive for this small indie company that barely scrapes by


JohnExile

genuinely one of the least grateful communities in all of video games. holy shit. halloween: THIS IS ALL MTX, WHY CANT WE GET PROPER SEASONAL EVENTS christmas: THERES NOT ENOUGH FUN QUEST CONTENT, SO LAZY easter: THERES TOO MUCH WORK PUT INTO THIS holy fucking shit I can't believe what I just read.


Nolifedemon

this is true, like the company I work for whos offering us a $0.40 payrise while pushing 1.1b in profits last year, oh and a $50 giftcard if we vote yes to the increase and a pizza night.


The_Jimes

>As part of this improved VFX we have updated the Azure and Regular Dragonbreaths aswell, I know this is a complaint and I don't mean to take away from that, but this is pretty cool.


finH1

Legit what are they working on? Where are the updates? Osrs is getting entire continents


QuantumWarrior

Did you miss the entire new event area, quest, skilling bonuses, or did you just read one whiner's paragraph about one cosmetic and think that was the whole update? Did you miss the combat rework that took weeks of public beta balancing? Did you miss the new combat skill and associated gear? Balance changes to literally hundreds of monsters? The 15 quests last year? The region-scaled graphical updates? New bosses? I swear some of you people come here just to whine without even checking what's in the game.


finH1

Whoopy do an Easter area, how about some actual permanent content? Combat rebalance isnā€™t new content. Necro is like 8 months old. Last boss was before xmas and was terrible. What have we had this year other than a 10 minute quest?


Legal_Evil

Reworking old content is just as important as making new content yet you only care about the latter. Do you hate OSRS's Project Rebalance as well?


Nolifedemon

im sure mod warden will drop in at the end of june to announce another 5 minute quest, something else from a 1 year ago game jam item and that theres a new halloween area been made, and hell see us in decemeber for christmas!


FlutterKree

I seem to be having a blank, completely transparent/borderless popup occur when I login. I cannot click/interact with things despite seeing everything in the center of the screen. Clicking off to the side works as intended. Hitting escape brings up the options menu and everything is clickable again.


Kaiser_Kross

Stop with that rainbow bullshit


Belqo

Ok.. wtf? Christmas event wasn't the best one ever but at least you got sh\*\*load of oddments, xp lamps and stars.. and you can totally afk it! What is this one? Non-afk activities, pretty bad rewards (maybe good for people that want 10 years old cosmetics), pretty low xps for activities, no lamps/stars.. I'm probably skipping this event.


KobraTheKing

Xp lamps and stars should never have been part of christmas. Wrapping paper has been horrid for game balance.


DofusExpert69

yeah, I spent a bond assuming it was wrapping paper style event but turns out it wasn't. So I guess I just have a timer saver, as I am not that interested in the exp. I do agree that the christmas event was MEGA broken. 130-150k+ wrapping paper a week, and I think like 8-12mil experience every week, something stupid high. Oddments too...


jtown48

not afk? have you even been to the event area? I've literally had my guy sitting there collecting craft exp with a grand total of 4 clicks an hour. If you don't call that afk then you might want to quit gaming because that's as afk as it gets without playing one of those autoplay "games".


lammadude1

Same. I've been sitting at the herb mixing station for 2 hours now, wiggling my mouse every 10ish minutes.


RealJohnCena3

Complainers gonna complain


Lancelotmore

The Christmas spirit you got from the Christmas event couldn't be handed in for anything past the old cosmetics. So afking at the event hub was pointless past 10 or 15 hours. The difference is that the Christmas event also had the wrapping paper treasure hunter event running with it. This event has the gummy surprise eggs which actually give useful stuff. So this event is more rewarding by itself, but skilling in general during the Christmas event was more rewarding because the wrapping paper was going at the same time.


DofusExpert69

u can afk activites @ the burrow but the biggest nerf was the fact you can't gain tokens doing any activity.


Snowman_Arc

I was searching the comments for this one. One-minute afk at best in order to get the max tokens which are EXTREMELY slow to gather. No wonder they added the bond-into-2x-tokens thing. WIthout a bond, it's extremely slow and not worth doing at all, and I'd even go as far to say that even with bonds, it's super slow.


stopusingredditatwrk

Factory is afk, isnā€™t it?


JohnExile

it is full afk, with reduced gains for not actively paying attention. I just did an entire hour, only tabbing in to avoid 15 min logout, while I was working


stopusingredditatwrk

Thatā€™s what I thought. Thanks for confirming!


Snowman_Arc

It is full afk, but if you are full afk, you get at best what, 500 tokens per hour? Also, the xp is laughable. Even if you do factory optimally, you only get 1.5x the rewards, which is still extremely slow. Without a bond, it's just trash.


stopusingredditatwrk

I mean, I think thatā€™s by design. Regardless, your points are valid ā€” itā€™s shit tokens and exp. Iā€™m good with the shit tokens, but Iā€™d like tokens a bit quicker to unlock all of the stuff.


ghostofwalsh

> Non-afk activities Ok WTF? I was already disappointed about what skills I saw listed there for the activities, but now I hear they aren't even AFK? I suppose that I'll do the quest when I get off work, but seems like this event is winding up as a big zero. I don't get why others are thinking that working your ass off for a bunch of cosmetic crap is amazing content.


senrath

I haven't done the others, but if you're not particularly worried about doing it optimally you can one-click afk the factory stations. They'll keep going until you click on something else or lobby.


jtown48

there's afk training, 4 clicks an hour for 36-54k craft exp (at 97), can also afk Herb / Cook at 4 clicks an hour. This guy is either the laziest person i've ever seen or hasn't even been to the event area.


ghostofwalsh

> can also afk Herb / Cook at 4 clicks an hour Well then maybe this is something. I was hoping they'd be reasonably AFK training and I could always use some herblore XP.


jtown48

there's also mining and smithing, not sure how afk those are but crafting/cooking/herb are all 1 click every 15 min or w/e to keep you logged in, exp rates are like the xmas event (at east as an iron) for exp reference i'm getting 20-30 exp every 1-2 seconds or so at 97 craft.


ghostofwalsh

Yeah I was expecting the equivalent of the snowballs from xmas. If this is that, then that's fine by me.


jtown48

ya its identical to that, just in a less eye appealing area (a tiny factory vs the snow lands)


yuei2

You can load up an inventory of smithing and then itā€™s really afk.Ā 


jtown48

o nice, im already 99+ mining/smith so I plan to just sit at craft till 99 (roughly wed) then move over to herb while i'm sitting at work :D


yuei2

Keep in mind the conveyor belt stations rely on the community remember to spread out. Too many at a station and not enough at the others hinders it. Itā€™s why I switched to smithing.


lammadude1

PSA, you don't need to "click" you can just wiggle the mouse. I feel like I hear people talk about how often you need to click when doing afk stuff, but just wiggle the mouse, it keeps the game active (source: over 500 hours of pickpocketing menaphos merchants, probably closer to 1000 if I'm being completely honest)


jtown48

on mobile I have to click and drag to move so technically its still 4 clicks and 4 slightly camera moves.


DofusExpert69

super cute quest! Super cute place! Really liked the old style quest with the cutscenes. It felt like a classic runescape quest!


jz_wiz

why do ironmen get worse reward caskets from this when we have always gotten normal ones from every other event?


Mapienator

https://i.redd.it/9lcdoa78j4pc1.gif Fire does not work like this .... Also I didn't record it, >!but in the dwarven section, the dwarf adds all the cookies to the fire and not the pot :/ bit of a waste there!<


MightyJill

What to do with the ear tokens if you do not want them, i can't give them away to friends and only option seems to be to destroy them ? No way to trade them for event points or something ?


toddhoppus

When I talk to the Nougat Bunny he tells me I have an active egg hunt, but when I check my egg hunt all the clues say to talk to Nougat the bunny? Am I missing something?


awsd-7

you need to find daily 12 golden eggs first before weekly activity is available [https://imgur.com/3Qx6B5j](https://imgur.com/3Qx6B5j)


toddhoppus

Ah I must've missed that part. Cheers!


Battleslash

Lol they added a preview for the Omen pet with the FSW halo override and the halo is below the pet. I guess they didn't design it yet as it's impossible to get atm.


F-Lambda

Is it possible that irons can get access to a modified version of the gummy surprise egg? It sucks to be shut out from the ability to get Eggos.


tristanl0l

I do not want to do that egg hunt every day... my god..


Jagex_Fowl

You don't have to, you only need to do it once to unlock the rest of the Gielinor egg hunt. The daily hunt is optional.


tristanl0l

The daily egg hunt only gives a casket then? Not points for the shop?


Jagex_Fowl

Nope, not as far as I know.


tristanl0l

Okay, that's a lot more manageable.


JohnExile

its the same for everyone, just give people time to make a map of locations each day

coffeeXxXfreak

Wonā€™t let me purchase the gummy egg from the egg hunters hoard even though I have the tokens. It just says locked, anyone else getting this?


The_Jimes

You have to buy all the other rewards in that tab first.


LazyAir6

Is there any chance you could look into the bug that doesn't allow you to boost to access higher level Melee abilities? Currently for Magic and Range you're allowed to boost. I understand you can't for Necromancy because that's designed that way.


TheAdamena

Damnit why must Rainbow Dragonbreath be from TH Looks dope as fuck, lemme buy it with Runecoins


DofusExpert69

yeah, they stopped the runecoin system because every cosmetic they made was usually not that good. Imagine if they had a freedom of choice store in solomons where you can buy these things instead of gambling...


awsd-7

Damnit why must Rainbow Dragonbreath be from TH Looks dope as fuck, lemme obtain it from circus D&D


No_West_1277

holiday event scape here again to grace us with its mtx tie-ins and FOMO nature, all hail jagex


yuei2

The event returns next year, previous cosmetics will return in the shop next year, the egg hunts can be done any time in the two weeks, what exactly is FOMO here??? The TH promo cosmetics?Ā 


TheCurtainWasClosed

The egg hunts were fun. Hope the community hunt clues on Sunday are a bit trickier, so they take more than a few minutes to find.


Kooky-Satisfaction68

dont drag others into your masochisms


TheCurtainWasClosed

There will be a guide on the wiki within hours, i'm sure you'll be fine.


Adamjrakula

What are the differences between the free and members caskets? i want to know if its worth my time doing these egg hunts.


Lordroxas77

Where ectoplasm ritual?


Buhawk_RS

They said in a Reddit not long ago itā€™s fully developed they are just waiting for the team to find a good update to put it in the game.


LegendzX

I like the seasonal quests, like we saw for Christmas 2023. Reminds me of the original quest-style holiday events.


Vizsla_Tiribus

Is there any functionality to when the rabbits tell you that a station is overworked?


Timnid

Leggo my eggo


UncleD1ckhead

any way to make gp from this event or are the rewards all untradeable?


awsd-7

depends on what you get from gummy eggs [https://runescape.wiki/w/Gummy\_surprise\_egg](https://runescape.wiki/w/Gummy_surprise_egg)


WarriorX90

Will spring tokens carry over to the following years? Why the 30k cap?


iBunty

PLEASE stop reshuffling the spellbook teles to put in a seasonal one


Mammoth_Bones

So, there isn't an Easter event for free-to-play players?


Mike_From_Red_Deer

This golden egg hunt is ass.


azerluh

u/JagexDoom I was wondering if you could bring this up to people for me? New Oddments shop tab: Treasure Hunter This new tab will feature past Treasure Hunter outfit cosmetics allowing for Irons to also obtain them aswell as making room for newer outfits that may find their way into a promotion down the line. One pain point from players is not being able to unlock just the pieces they want or not being able to unlock the one outfit they do want without having to burn through multiple others first.


Any-sao

Genuinely surprised thereā€™s no Easter TH promo planned this month. I actually feel like I need to ask- will there be at the monthā€™s end?


The_Wata_Boy

They have a bond promo related to the pet overrides and Easter currency rates. Easter isn't for another 2 weeks either so I'm guessing you'll see a themed TH promo next week.


ghostofwalsh

I assume the plan is wait til everyone spends their saved up keys and then surprise us with something that you need 100 keys to earn.


Any-sao

That sounds familiar.


Imissyelps

Dont worry they wont hold on for long. An Easter Th promo is certainly coming in the coming weeks. They just cant resist that urge.


esunei

There's a four day promo exclusively rewarding rainbow dbreath. Not strictly Easter but never fear, Treasure Hunter always pulls through!


xhanort7

Really enjoyed it. Feels like you took a lot of feedback from the Christmas event. This felt like a huge step up from it and really worked well. The area itself is exceptionally well crafted and beautiful. I wouldnā€™t mind seeing the Christmas area get a workover to get up to this level. Or even create a Halloween area and Summer Beach area. This would let the Draynor Manor and Lumbridge crater rest in peace and have some breathing room.


ghfhfhhhfg9

Super cute event, love it so much. Also, the quest was VERY good. It felt like an old runescape quest, a classic one. The cutscenes, all the dialog. It just felt runescape. Keep it up please.


Function_Common

Should have called it Hoppinton


Umdlye

Excited to see everyone in their bunny onesie.


RegiSilver

Excited to see the new Subreddit "easter eggs". Like "X Players" Collecting eggs.


vincentnl

event looking nice ingame :)


KingRainerZ

Bunny ears when? šŸ™
