New Merch Lines
Christmas gift ideas and a Black Friday offer
Cue sleigh bells and a ho-ho-ho because the Christmas lines are here! Get into the festive spirit by treating yourself to some new merch – er, sorry, adding them to the gift list for other people. Yeah.
First up is 2022's Xmas Jumper, and this time a festive Gnome Child takes centre stage! The Father Gnome Child Xmas Jumper also boasts a colourful pattern of Party Hats, crackers, snowballs, scarves and trees.
Perhaps you're somewhere a little warmer this festive season? Don't worry, we've also got some new tees showing off some of Gielinor's most popular tourist destinations. Take a nostalgic trip to Lumbridge, scare yourself silly at Draynor Manor, soak in the sun on Karamja or wrap up warm (and fight for your life) on White Wolf Mountain.
And if you fancy warming up with a lovely cuppa tea (or a more grown-up beverage), we’ve also got ceramic tankards bearing the Jolly Boar Inn's logo!
Finishing up, we've got some Limited Edition Santa Pins and Party Hat keyrings, plus a gorgeous Limited Edition Black Knight pin, all from the fantastically talented Angels Scapes. As an extra special Black Friday offer, anyone spending over £40/$48/€46 on the store gets a Black Party Hat keyring for free!
If you're looking for an early present or perhaps a stocking filler or two, make sure to head on over to the store.
Head here to find out more about all of the above and a bunch of other lines we've restocked.
Fresh Start Worlds Week 9
The Competitive Period ends
The Competitive Period of Fresh Start Worlds is over! Congratulations to our World's First winners and the prestigious Top 100 Competitive Period Leaderboard superstars. Enjoy repping that mighty fine Competitive Halo, which will be with you shortly. We'll confirm the champions in a later post.
With the Competitive Period over, Treasure Hunter and other paid features (such as full Premier Club bonuses) are now available in FSW for the remaining eight weeks.
There's still plenty of good XP on offer for the rest of the event – whether you've yet to jump into FSW as a returning player or you're already in there, gains are still ahead of you!
Here's this week's bonuses in full:
- Changed from last week: +140% XP (skills below level 70).
- Changed from last week: +70% XP (skills above level 70).
- Continuation of Free Deaths.
- 20% chance to double a monster or boss drop.
- 40% chance to double gathered materials.
- Tier 5 Auras unlocked.
- +100% Accuracy in combat.
As a final re-confirmation, we wanted to reiterate our commitment to ensuring the majority of items from Fresh Start Worlds are available again at some point in the future - including the FSW Alternative Skill Capes. While we don't have any further details or timelines to share right now, this won't be your only opportunity. That said, Fresh Start Worlds is the most direct and quickest way to get hold of the rewards if you're after them in the near term!
