This seems really bad if we're stuck to only being able to get rewards at this time. Which confuses me because of this next paragraph.

You'll also be able to hand in your Nice Points at Santa's Sleigh any time during the week if you can't be there for the communal Lodge opening on reset.

Can I just hand in at any time and claim rewards anytime?

You can claim your reward any time after if you happen to miss the Santa event. It's just a bit of fun flair and you don't miss out on anything by not being there. If you miss it, just rock up whenever after the event has happened and claim.

will it be a permanent quest (like the violet ones) or a temp quest?

We're trying something new this year, more details to come, but it is a perm quest, but only playable during Christmas each year

The music tease for Vorkath is hype.

This is a really interesting comment - what about this are you unhappy with? Would love some constructive points to take from this.

I just pray the Christmas event is better than the Halloween one. Somehow getting rid of the Draynor Manor skilling event made it feel LESS festive and spooky. It felt only slightly related to Halloween at all.

It's a full quest

The Black Party Hat will be a new seasonal tradeable rare found over our Christmas events, offering anyone taking part in our Christmas activities the chance to become owner of a brand new colour of Party Hat...
... We want to really stress that this will be an incredibly rare drop that only a small number of players will end up earning during the course of the event - even the most dedicated helper to Santa isn't likely to find it

In addition to the our brand new Christmas event, there's also a number of classic seasonal activities that will add to your experience across Gielinor this December!

Our Wrapping Paper event will run alongside the Christmas Village event, which has you collecting lost wrapping paper by doing almost anything in RuneScape! Turn in wrapping paper for festive presents that could contain classic or brand new seasonal rewards not found in the Christmas Village event.

Hi Apple, I'd be happy to investigate those for you, can you provide me with some examples?

Hi all. This information was incorrectly included in the article very briefly - keys will not award DXP Tokens in our upcoming event. Your screenshot was a quick catch!

DXP Tokens are available through skilling during DXP Live, with some extra Tokens being awarded when using your Proteans/Dummies. You can also convert unwanted Proteans for additional tokens as well.

There are some bonus tokens available through the one time purchase DXP Token Bond Bundles, but none are included in Treasure Hunter.

Is this really a priority? We have about 300 quests between two games where talking to an NPC or clicking an object was an accepted game mechanic…

What about new players who haven't done the 300 quests and haven't accepted that as the game mechanic?

You could just do the quest so it doesn't appear anymore.

What will happen if the pouches are alreaddy full? If the essence type in the preset is different from the one I want to load

At the moment you will have to empty them manually, but I've already had feedback to try and change this internally. Doubt that will get done for the initial release but might be able to do something about it later down the line.

I'll be sure to update that with the info for you!

Genuinly curious, how long did it take you to develop this? This has been asked for YEARS, at this point I thought the main reason not to do it was because it would take way too much time to develop (or some weird balancing reasoning). Either way, thanks, this is a godsend!

In the end not as long as I thought it might (but its always a good idea to be cautious when evaluating how much time work might take). Changes like this which touch things like bank presets are always a bit scary in concept - any bugs there are likely to be quite visible and annoying (apologies in advance if one sneaks through :P) . We also have to be a bit concerned about server load as players use presets a lot.

I've seen this change raised a lot before, but it seems before now there has always been an internal reason to not do it at that time. I can't speak to them all, there were definitely balance concerns at one point, but we are always having to evaluate the dev (and testing and art etc.) time we have, expected difficulty of the change, any other upcoming changes that might interact with what we are doing etc. etc.

Hope that gives a little insight.

Has the preset that fills familiar with pure essence instead of impure essence also been fixed?

I'm not sure I'm aware of this... could you expand?

If for some insane reason someone put some of each in a preset, which would it prioritize?

Impure. That is just the one it checks for first. I couldn't think of a use case for filling some of your inventory with one type and some of it with another.

Hey there Doom! I was just wondering about the bond bonus membership! When I try to redeem some bonds in the marketplace it doesn't add in the bonus, am I doing it wrong?

Should be live today at 11:30 Game Time!

Honestly we wanted to call a spade a spade as the saying goes.

Looking through the shop ahead of time there was plenty of cross over between the DXP token shop and Vic, which makes sense they are both aiming to give your items that help with experience gains, its not 1 to 1 but its enough that it would likely be the first thing folks mentioned.
