Aiding the Exile: Menaphos Event

 

Today sees a new event kick off within the Golden City: Aiding the Exile.

 

Speak to the shady lurker by the Menaphos front gates to get started collecting Menaphite coins, earned as you train combat or skills within Menaphos itself or the Sophanem Slayer Dungeon.

 

You’ll get +20% Menaphite coins from training Mining, Thieving, Fishing or Woodcutting. Please note, however, that you won’t be able to earn currency from Daily Challenges, as these can’t be handed in within the city.

 

You can unlock some sweet rewards, including magic carpet rest and teleport animations.

 

If you need to catch up, or just fancy speeding things up, you can purchase Menaphite coins with Runecoins at the Rewards Store.

 

Please note: since the event is set only in Menaphos, we have made the decision to remove the daily cap on earning Menaphite coins. RuneCoins will be refunded for any cap extenders purchased within a few days - keep an eye on your message centre.
