Right Floating Picture Title

Ever felt like you were short on cash, and didn't know how to make a quick buck? Have some extra money lying around that you would like to increase? Look no further.

The Content Team has brought to you a new guide: Daily Activities. It contains many of the small things you can do around RuneScape to make some extra money. The good news is, these activities can be done every 24 hours, and over time, the profits do add up.

A huge thanks to ReturnFate, Debenkey, and iLauren for making this guide possible.

On a somewhat related note, last week's Dungeoneering updates have been added to our skill guide. Take a look to see how the Ring of Kinship classes work, or find out more about the hidden resource dungeons scattered throughout RuneScape. A few more bits and pieces will be added as time goes on.

A big thanks to all of the Content Team members and users who helped map the dungeons. This update would not have been possible without their efforts.

We’ve got two epic RuneScape Triumvirate events lined up for you this weekend...

First up, on Saturday 24th July, the three Triumvirate factions will be putting aside their differences for one massive celebration. The Triumvirate Gathering is an entirely player run party, which really shows what the Triumvirate is all about. Hosted by Sun Sioux, Jonesdawiz and Pro Reaver this epic party offers a great opportunity to meet the members of the Triumvirate and learn more about them.

We’ll be joining them to get up to all manner of mischief, from costume competitions to some mild Varrock-based arson, in what promises to be an entertaining day of events. Everyone is welcome; you don’t need to have signed up to the Triumvirate to come along. The party will start at 6pm BST/forum time in Varrock’s market square on world 50. You can find out more information and meet the rest of the factions in the Triumvirate Gathering forum thread.

Having a party with your Triumvirate fellows is all well and good, but pleasantries can only last so long...as will be proven by this weekend’s second event – the Soul Wars Triumvirate Challenge! Yes, the Triumvirate will come together in the spirit of having a big messy fight and compete in a series of Soul Wars matches. The challenge will be running all weekend and is the perfect opportunity to hurl abuse at other factions and gain some well deserved influence in the process. You can find more details on the Triumvirate Challenge – Soul Wars forum thread.

If you have yet to choose your faction and sign up to the Triumvirate, there’s still time to do so by heading to the Triumvirate Guide & FAQ forum thread.

Funorb Summer Games

Posted by w13Thu, 22 Jul 2010
For three weeks in August, FunOrb will be holding a Summer Games tournament for all comers. The event will consist of two parts: the Arcane Amphitheatre and the Gauntlet.

The Arcane Amphitheatre is going to be a massive, marvelous, members-only Arcanists tournament! We've got a magnificent knockout tournament starting on Monday 9th August, which you can sign up for on the Arcane Amphitheatre Sign Up thread on the FunOrb forums. The stakes will be high for this memorable event as we have a variety of prizes up for grabs, including a Dell laptop for the winner, an iPod for the runner-up, dual FunOrb and RuneScape membership, plus other prizes. Oh, and there will also be tournament-specific Achievements. So, what are you waiting for? For more information on this tournament, check out the Arcane Amphitheatre Guide thread on the FunOrb forums.

If you're not currently a FunOrb member, but fancy pitting your wits against the best Arcanists players out there, FunOrb membership is available from as little as £3.20/$4.95 for 1 month (or £6.40/$9.90 for a combined RuneScape/FunOrb membership).

The Gauntlet is our single-player section of the Summer Games. For three weeks starting on Monday 9th August, we'll challenge you to show us that you're the best of the best in nine of our most popular single-player games. We have a selection of FunOrb goodies up for grabs, as well as joint FunOrb and RuneScape membership for the winners! If you want to know more about this part of the event, head over to The Gauntlet thread on the FunOrb forums.

Runefest Gallery Competition

Posted by w13Thu, 22 Jul 2010
If there’s one thing we like, it’s RuneScape artwork and, as you’ll have seen from previous Players’ Galleries, there’s no shortage of artistic talent among the RuneScape community. At RuneFest 2010, we’ll be showing off a selection of our favourite pieces from previous Players’ Galleries in our RuneFest Gallery, along with a selection of other great artwork from the development of RuneScape.

All that awesome artwork isn’t quite enough to quench our thirst for RuneScape inspired creativity, though, so we’re also excited to announce the launch of the RuneFest Gallery Competition! The idea is simple: draw a picture, send it to us, and we’ll take a selection of our favourites along with us to show off at RuneFest. Not only that, but the best entries will also be given pride of place in the Players’ Gallery for that month.

But wait, there’s more... To keep things interesting and in-touch with RuneFest, entries to the RuneFest Gallery Competition must include all three of the following:
  • A Runefest flagstaff
  • A Golden Gnome
  • Bob the Cat (or Evil Bob)

How you incorporate these is entirely up to you; you could make them a main feature of your artwork or just a small part of a larger picture. You’ll find some examples on the RuneFest Gallery Competition forum thread.

Alongside being displayed at RuneFest, the players behind our favourite entries will also be sent a signed canvas of their work, along with a RuneFest goody bag and a lifetime RuneScape membership!

The competition is open from now until Monday 16th August. The winners will be announced and shown in a Players’ Gallery towards the end of that week. To find out more about the competition including how to enter, rules and a discussion, head on over to this forum thread.

Good luck, everyone!
