At the risk of dredging up bad feelings about a certain 8th Season, we’d like to remind you all that winter is coming. Yes, those halcyon summer days are coming to a close, and there’s no better way to acclimatise yourself to the encroaching chill than to shut yourself indoors and snuggle up with your favourite MMO. Right? This week, learn how you can make your Summer Escape, find out the results of the Spectacular Summer Skill Off, and check out a few small changes we’ve made to Anachronia.

Summer Escape
Make your summer escape (read: ‘your escape from summer’) with this 4-part series of weeklong skilling buffs! It works just like Winter Weekends, only bigger, better, and uh – buff-ier? Here’s the deets on the weeks:

Anachronia Changes
We’re still keeping tabs on Anachronia and making small changes to improve your island experience. For example, this week we’ve adjusted the flags throughout Anachronia so that they wiggle in the wind. Lovely.

The lodestone has also received an upgrade: the ‘join friend’ lodestone teleport will now work in Anachronia.
The amount of traps being destroyed is now consistent when choosing to skip or watch the cutscene in multi-spawn encounters.
You can find all the Anachronia changes in the patch notes.

Skill off Roundup
Gielinor’s first ever summer skill-off has come to a close. The snack yaks are packed, the accursed swords have been distributed, and your fabulous host has returned to the dank pit from which he came. But there’s still one question left to answer… which skill won?!

*ahem* drumroll please! We can now announce that the winning skill of the inaugural Spectacular Summer Skill Off is…!

DUNGEONEERING! We’re hole-y surprised by this one. When we first got the PITch for the dungeoneering booth, we really thought it’d be a bit too deep for you guys. But hey – we’re glad we caved in in the end!

Are we done? We’re done. Congratulations, Dungeoneers! Hopefully none of you left anything too important down there.

RuneFest 2019
RuneFest 2019 will be a blast from the very distant past as visitors take a dangerous journey into The Land Out of Time. Expect dinosaurs! And carnivorous player-eating plants! As you’re travelling around a real-life slice of the island you can look forward to hands-on time with new content, talks and meetups with the JMods, loads of panels, a dedicated LAN area, an art area for meeting the creative teams and of course some very big surprise announcements on the main stage. We’re also bringing back skill chips!

Tickets available

The Official RuneFest 2019 Tees and Hoodies are also available for pre-order (until Sunday August 18th 23:59 UK Time)!

This year’s explosive design is inspired by the majestic volcano that can be found on both Fossil Island and the Land Out of Time. It’s the perfect thing to wear while you’re roaming the prehistoric jungle and excavating fossils at RuneFest– or while you’re hacking through the weeds in your own back garden. We don’t judge.

If you’ve already bought your ticket for RuneFest 2019, we’ve sent you an email with further instructions. Check your mailbox! If you haven’t bought your RuneFest ticket yet, just head to Eventbrite and you’ll be able to add your precious loot to your order before checkout.

Pre-ordering saves you money on non-personalised tees (£2 off event RRP) and hoodies (£5 off event RRP). It's also the only way to get your tee personalised and guarantee a tee or hoodie in your size. XXS, S and XXL and XXXL non-personalised tees are only available to pre-order.

Runefest Merch
We can't wait to see you at RuneFest 2019 in October!

As you get ready for the big weekend, check out the Official RuneFest 2019 tees and hoodies now available to pre-order on Eventbrite! This year’s explosive design is inspired by the majestic volcano that can be found on both Fossil Island and The Land Out of Time.

Competition
We just want to give you a quick heads up on the Player Gallery competition that we’ve run in the past weeks to celebrate the launch of the Land Out of Time. First, we would like to thank all of you who entered the competition. We have never seen such amazing entries and choosing winners has never been so difficult!

This is why, even though we first thought that we would announce the winners on… well, today; sorting all entries and picking our favourites is quite tricky and we will need a few extra days to do so. We’re sure you understand this is not a decision we want to rush. Therefore, we will announce all winners on Monday 12th August!

Facebook Companion
Our Facebook fans can now enjoy a whole new RuneScape experience: the RS Companion! Whether you want to get the best out of the Land Out of Time with some quick info, explore helpful Guides displayed in the Grand Library, never miss future announcements around RS Mobile or RuneFest 2019, grab exclusive Membership offers (even free stuff!) or need Support, the RuneScape Companion has your back!
