Snowboarding & Tirannwn Task Set

Explore the Elven Lands to complete the Tirannwn Task Set and enjoy some extreme snowboarding action, today in RuneScape.
Read of for full details!
 
Tirannwn Task Set
 

Members only
 
You must have completed Underground Pass to start the Tirannwn Task Set.
There are many other requirements for the individual Tasks.

Over 50 new elf-tastic Tasks are now yours to complete throughout Isafdar, the Underground Pass, the Poison Waste and Prifddinas itself.
Spanning four difficulty tiers, some are as simple entering Arandar Pass wearing Mourner gear or banking a shark in the Elf Camp, and others are as tough as reaching wave 15 in Gold or Platinum Rush of Blood or accessing the Max Guild. There's skilling and killing aplenty, and the Tasks are sure to keep you busy for some time.
The reward item for this Task Set is a RuneScape first: a quiver-slot item that'suseful for all combat styles, and while skilling.
As you complete the Easy, Medium, Hard and Elite tiers, it'll grant increased damage against creatures local to Tirannwn, an expanding list of teleports, and loads of skilling and convenience boosts when worn.
There are permanent benefits to be earned too, such as a limestone buyer, daily free skilling materials, a chance to not use charges on your crystal weapons, and more. Of course - last but not least - there are hefty XP lamps too.
Have fun - and enjoy an elfy dose of traditional Task Set puns while you're at it!

Festive Cheer - Snowboarding
 
Free players and members
 
The Queen of Snow's shown up in Lumbridge crater, with a frosty face at what should be a festive time. She's missing some rogue snow elementals, and needs you to follow her clues, find them and melt them down.
Once you've done that she'll reward you with a snowboard, which you can use to enjoy some winter sporting action.
To start, right-click the Queen to access the snowboarding ramp, then click the gnome jumpship to start snowboarding. Spend energy to perform tricks as you go down, collecting presents on the way - the better you do, the more rep pointsyou'll earn. You'll also earn some festive cheer.
Rep points can be used to upgrade your snowboard visually across five tiers, so it looks cooler as you display it on your back. There are five tiers to upgrade through - and members can upgrade beyond that to unlock shark, snowman and skulldesigns.
There's also a grind ramp in Lumbridge crater, which you can slide and balance your way along for festive cheer and a small helping of Agility XP.
All of our Festive Cheer winter events are now open, and will stay available for the rest of December. Unlock all your awesome winter rewards, if you haven't already!

Enjoy!
Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Anyone having trouble getting the the task where Eluned has to recharge your teleport seed ? Tried it at both her spawns + elf city and it didn't work

 

FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM - recharge with the talk option NOT with using the teleport seed on her

Snow on forums, no snow effect on my cape yet as part of the snowman overrides.  Not impressed :(. Oh well, perhaps next week.

 

Never mind, just had to reset it and apply it as an affect to make it work :P.

I find it quite Ironic that the Quiver is BiS for melee and magic (since they dont use any ammunition but still get the prayer bonus) instead of ranged

 

 

This is such an obvious oversight, it is really embarrassing, how could they no think it though! Especially as others have pointed out, dark beasts are weak to bolts, yet you can't even use them now if you want to get the 5% buff from the quiver.

Why does everything give xp -.-"

Because precedent shows that if it didn't, nobody would play it.

Sounds like a bad concept, just to pump xp in it if it isn't being played. That is not fixing anything.

I love the new option to place a clan vexillum without having to first wield it. However, it has a small glitch. If your inventory is full and you attempt to place it, nothing happens and the message 'You need one free space in your inventory to place your vexillum" is given.

I tried by using the lodestone and going as south as possible (being on the northern "shore" of the Poison Waste) and near the dungeon (against next to the water) but it didn't count ...

 

Do I have to be on the Islands, south of the waste, somewhere else ?

 

I hate when they are so specific. Make me do it in the elven lands and be done with it ...
