Fred_S Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Rewards is a Christmas Wand (Like a fairy wand) It lets you toss things on people by left clicking. A silly emote and a toy worm pet if you're a member. Anyone know the snowman rewards they talked about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The rewards are pretty nice this year. The snowman fighting mini-game is pretty addictive. I've been playing it for the last 2 hours. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterDexter Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you talk to the troll after the event, he gives you a jar with the spirit of christmas. Use it on another person for some updated guthan warspear specials. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirschen Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 *struggling on the snow emitter puzzle* I don't know why I suck at these puzzles for some reason, I just do. At least this event isn't disappointing like the Halloween one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think Christmas Events are my new favorite in RS at least. :PThe graphics throughout the event were awesome and I got in a really christmasy mood by doing the event. Sparkles is my new favorite pet as well, if not only because his hat matches mine. Told him he should keep it and not give it back.Loved every bit. Good'un Jagex. :thumbsup: ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Quyneax Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Rather liked the snow emitter puzzle. The other puzzles were fun too, but not as think-y.

strilmus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Snakey does not eat anything (it's a piece of tinsel) and can play a number guessing game. He does not move very fast like he did when you're chasing him. Tips for snow of the ancients game: - The combat triangle USUALLY works.- Mages can attack from behind other units. Attacks should always have a mage in the rear.- If the other side is building, you can spy on their snowpile and counter them.- Call people over to help you if you anticipate trouble.- The snowglobe is a backhanded yet effective way to refill.- Snowballs HEAL. A group of people using them can turn a near matched battle around, but building is usually more important.- The game has several glitches. Try not to let them get to you. Or telegraph a blocked lane.- Seriously, if you just spam neverending mages, you'll win anyway, although it's slower sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirschen Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Event done! I have to admit it was awesome even though I raged a bit at the snow puzzle. Me gusta.Did anyone else think of that when they chatted with the cook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levine1996 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The screen in the lobby reads 'Merry Christmas, Adventurer...' Interesting...while I have no issue with a Christmas themed event, I'd like to believe that we have moved past the day and age when Merry Christmas is shouted blindly. At least where I'm from, it has nearly entirely been phased out for the more politically correct greeting of 'Happy Holidays'. Regardless, I'll check out the event and discuss my opinion now.

chenw Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Christmas is entirely a Christian concept, so in a country where religion is throw around like basketball in a court, it would be wiser to use 'Happy Holidays'. Countries that have less issues with it (Like mine) or are overwhelmingly majority of its inhabitants are Christian, Merry Christmas is used more often. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Considering Christianity is the prevalent and most practiced religion here I really don't see why Christmas should be referred to as 'the holidays'. If anything, saying that they should change it to that could just as easily be seen as disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries that have less issues with it (Like mine) or are overwhelmingly majority of its inhabitants are Christian, Merry Christmas is used more often.Not entirely correct, I mean Christmas originally and still today is there to celebrate the birth and renewal of the sun and it's course. It's originally a Pagan festival that over time Christians have adopted. That being said, with the increase of non-religious people in the world (like myself) the holiday has become more than anything a way of life and somewhat just a family event. Political correctness goes over the top, I understand that words change over time but "Merry Christmas" more than anything has actually become a slogan rather than a welcoming gesture. As for the event, i really liked it. Loved the snow floor puzzle, would actually like to see that in game. Like a clue scroll challenge. I heard there is a handful of hidden rewards, this true?

Kaida23 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This was the funniest Christmas event since I blew kisses at Ebenezer Scourge (which made my kids laugh like crazy :grin: ). The cut scene where I went all Matrix. :lol: "Sometimes he even cooks with the wine." :lol: So much lol. :thumbup: Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

If you talk to Kris after the event, he gives you a Jar full of Christmas Spirit. Use it on other players for a Guthan's Spear effect.You can grab more Dwarven Spice (Gunpowder) from the Kitchen after the event. Not sure what use it has.You can Battle with Snowmen in the Battlefield area.If you have an Ice Amulet, you can Summon your Snow Imp and wish him a Merry Christmas.You can get some funny conversations if you talk to the people around the Banquet tables.Catch Sparkles and play "Guess a number" with it.You may find Snowmen wandering around Runescape. Only source I have of drops from the Snowmen is someone from the RSOF saying they drop snowballs. ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........
