RuneScape Road Trip – 1st May 2015
 
RuneScape Road Trip 2015 kicks off on the 1st of May – a month of task chasing and community events for RuneScape members where you'll uncover some cool rewards.
 
Tick off tasks in your new Road Trip Journal – by yourself or with JMod help – and unlock the four-tier Explorer's Aura, which grants you increasing access to your own personal combat or skilling area throughout the month.
 
Complete the lot and get a new companion pet, plus the Hiker's outfit and Partyhat Firemaking animation, if you missed them last year.
 
Read on for more information!
 
How to Play
 
To start, speak to Challenge Mistress Fara in Burthorpe or Challenge Mistress Heriau in Prifddinas. They'll give you your Road Trip Journal so you can get started.
 
You can manually complete one task per day. You can also automatically complete tasks, using chits gained once per day by heading to Lumbridge Crater and receiving one from a JMod!
 
To make sure no-one misses out, JMods will dispatch a team of highly trained JMod clones every four hours on weekends, as well as the 4th and 25th of May.
 
With those two exceptions, JMods will be available - in person - every weekday in May to hand out chits at 12:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC with JMod clones available regularly outside those hours. For full details of when you can collect your chits from JMods or their cloned counterparts, check out the JMod Schedule forum thread.
 
Note that chits can be stored up and used at any point during the month.
 
Tasks fall into four categories:
 
Skilling:
 
  • Complete a Dungeoneering floor on complexity 6.
  • Gather your daily limit from divine locations.
  • Teleport two filled urns of any sort in a single day.
  • Use a combined total of 100 bars and/or leather (any combination) through normal skilling in a single day.
  • Train 15 different skills in a single day.

 

Combat:
 
  • Complete a slayer assignment.
  • Summon and destroy the Fragmented Spirit, which is attracted to death.
  • Kill or die to another player in the Wilderness.
  • Kill a creature of at least your combat level.
  • Duel another player at the Al Kharid Arena.
 
Social/Minigame:
 
  • Play a round of Castle Wars.
  • Complete a Sinkhole.
  • Gain a life point boost from a bonfire tended by at least four other players.
  • Pop a balloon at the Falador Party Room.
  • Enter someone else's player-owned house.
 
Miscellaneous:
 
  • Complete a Treasure Trail.
  • Complete a quest or Tears of Guthix.
  • Complete a Daily Challenge.
  • Visit the Grand Exchange while you have six buy or sell offers active.
  • Find the Idol of Billy the Goat.
 
Rewards
 
Each task you complete – manually or by skipping – gets you an XP lamp.
 
Complete a category and you'll unlock the Explorer's Aura. Once per day– for 30 days from when you first unlock it – this will grant you access to an instanced area where you can skill or kill to your heart's content, with increased XP and gathering rates.
 
Right-click the aura itself to spawn a portal to the area. Whenever you enter, you'll choose whether it contains combat or skilling content. It will contain enemies or skilling spots appropriate to your level, and you can change by leaving and re-entering the area. It'll always contain a bank chest and deposit box.
 
As you complete more categories, the aura's tier will increase – and so will its activation time:
 
  • Tier 1: 5 minutes
  • Tier 2: 10 minutes
  • Tier 3: 20 minutes
  • Tier 4: 30 minutes
 
Note that – upon increasing tier – the aura can be activated again the same day.
 
Each category will also reward you with a compass piece, and when you've got all four of these the completed compass will lead you to the final Road Trip reward: a companion pet and large XP lamp.
 
You can also get the hiker's outfit from last year by claiming the journal and completing categories, if you don't already have it:
 
  • Hiker's boots and gloves: claim the journal
  • Hiker's cap: skilling
  • Hiker's jacket: combat
  • Hiker's leggings: social/minigames
  • Hiker's backpack: miscellaneous
 
Finally, you can claim the Partyhat Firemaking animation override by completing all the categories, if you don't have it from last year.

We're also running a set of bonus weekends, similar to last year. The order and duration of some of the bonuses has changed, so do read through the list below.

Nothing at all in the whole post? Or just the weekends stuff? I suppose it's fair not to have it in the spirit of Ironman, but they could at least give a cosmetic outfit. Oh well :P.

I stopped caring about cosmetic outfits when they became like overrides, somehow doesn't feel the same as those outfits you really have as an item :P

Absolutely nothing for Ironman. Which I think is a shame. The concept of DIY that it was based on was much more reasonable the random you can or can't do it that comes out from Jagex is rediculous.

Alternatively, it's much less random this way because what you can and can't do isn't affected by the calendar or this week's TH promo. It's more consistent.

Obtained quest cape and base 92 before obtaining any 99s! Currently finishing out my 99s with the (long-distant) goal of comp cape.

Oooooor you could wait until the event and cut the amount of time you have to spend there in half! I won't tell anyone you didn't waste your life there if you won't :-D

at some point, jagex is going to figure out that people would leap off of a cliff for prestige and organize a big event to livestream people plunging to their doom for rs

Its not prestige - idgaf about that. I just don't feel like being hassled by certain members of the tip.it community. 

 

@ALG, I'm already at 785k points... I'll just... stay here. *sigh*

Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!

I would say it is a daunting task to even get a Chit from a clone ="3

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?~ Marianne Williamson

Tried to get into W6 at 1AM, crashed about 15 times just to get into the world, took me 40 minutes. And then I needed to enter the crater... Eventually I reached the crater at 1.56, where I heard the clone despawned after the first crash of that world. Then the world DCed again and since then my account is 'still logged in'. -.-
