It sounds like you're at the stage in the quest where you need to solve the sliding puzzle on the control panel. Have a look around the area you're in for a control panel and give it a click.

If you're still stuck, drop me a pm ingame: Flying Ramen

But I loved the first one, the scenery, music and story were all great, looking forward to part two!

Enjoy! Give it a go with sound on too!

I can see Violet having one final quest to make it a trilogy. I don't think any more would be necessary after that as I feel it's important to preserve the magic her stories bring and doing too much could ruin that!

Makes me very happy to be able to share the warmth of Christmas culture with wider communities.

Knowing there are players out there that will read every slice of dialogue a quest has to offer makes all the effort put in worth it.

Appreciate your post and have shared with the wider team. <3

SO chuffed to hear you enjoyed it. From me and the team, Thank you. It's always so lovely to read posts like this and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

The two Violet quests hold a very special place in my heart and I assure you, they're as fun to make as they are fun to play.

Ooooo TIL! Will edit

Can't beat a bit of 'Whatever is left in the cupboard' soup, eh?

Commented in another thread but will throw it here, slight oversight on my part and will get it sorted in a future update.

The 'Myths of the White Lands' was the first real 'quest' (outside of the Christmas events) which had us explore the Land of Snow. At this point in time it's become quite dated however in regards to graphics... but the quest still takes place in the fragmented world of 'Renmark' (The first Violet is Blue quest had a book inside of Yeti-town which explained the lore).

During Christmas events we've been to the Land of Snow a fair few times as well, but the Violet-quests are the only ones which allow for an easy return.
When you speak to a certain Yeti inside of the town (from the first violet-quest) he mentions possible adventures outside of the town.

The world of Renmark just offers so many possibilities for holiday and seasonal quests and content... and it sucks to see that potential remain untapped. The stories you could create with the different seasonal Queens/kings would be absolutely perfect.

First of all, I want to thank you for your awesome post! You've touched on some really good points and I'd like to mention a few things in response.

Hopefully, when I get some downtime I'll be able to go back and update the original Yeti town hub to include the decorations you put up and to add the characters you met throughout the second quest to make it feel like a proper area in the world, that evolves as you progress through the stories it contains. This should hopefully resolve the main upset you've highlighted in your post!

You're spot on with the fact that Renmark offers so many possibilities in terms of story and pretty environments. Just reading the book outside the big house sparks so many awesome ideas with the land of summer, spring and autumn!

Appreciate all your kind words in the post and I'm hopeful that some of the things I touched on above will excite you + fix some things you didn't like as much.

50 to 55 stone spirit drop or 400 to 450 battle staves still sucks. This is a punishing boss and not cheap to kill.

Will give more info in due time, as for your concerns with the drops, we looked at everything and even completely replaced battlestaves with a better more valuable drop.

I really liked the quest upto those then quit after many attempts frustrated at runescapes square movement system trying to go to diagonal.

I still haven't completed it because of those so any tips appreciated

I can tell you that there are no frustrating puzzles. Gone for more warmth and story with this one.

Completion of the first quest is a requirement so might I encourage you to go back and finish so you can enjoy all that Monday has to offer <3

As I mentioned in a reply above, time and effort was spent learning from the data of the tasks completed per day/week/month to come up with a solid drop rate. We'll monitor the changes with a keen eye and go from there. This is also the reason we'll be withholding the rates for the time being.

Just for clarification, is there going to be a dedicated Christmas event like in the past, or is it going to be Violet is Blue 2 too, and the Yak Track to cover it?

The Christmas Cracker will be making a return and Violet is Blue Too is specifically Christmas themed this time around instead of 'festive/holiday' with the inclusion of two pretty sweet Christmas holiday items.

The grimoire pages being expensive, is due to Solak not being lucrative as a boss in it's entirety. If only a few people do the boss, which is the only source of the pages, the pages will be expensive of course.

Instead of making Solak like rots, i.e. guaranteed 1 page and 50% for 2, they just made Solak even less lucrative. Even though they are buffing base drops, the grimoire pages will go down, which might have been the main goal, and the main source of income was grimoire pages. Instead of making Solak more attractive, they just said "Fk it" and just slapped grimoire pages on slayer monsters.

I promise you... It was not a 'f*ck it' fix at all. A lot of time and effort went into looking at all the data from daily task completions of LGC + daily Solak kills + pages coming in daily/weeky/monthly.

Why so quick to react or judge? You haven't even seen the changes or the impact they're going to have.

As I mentioned in my followup tweets, we're the ones with the data and we know a lot more about the behind the scenes of the economy and the effect this change will make than you do.
