Winter Decem ber is here!









That's right friends, get exited!

This Winter December you'll have plenty do to in Runescape ranging from the awesome return of Terrorbird (Reindeer) racing to completing the new Christmas seasonal miniquests!









Here's a quick look at whats happening this month!





EDIT: Claim your free Reindeer-Terrorbird Mount here

https://secure.runescape.com/m=mtxn_rs_shop/index#category/Accessories/package/ReindeerTerrorbirdMount





>>Christmas Advent Calendar

While most of these rewards are not available to claim for Ironpeople, the freebies from this can be claimed at any day of the month for regular accounts.





>> FC Clan Wars Event (Saturday, 3rd December 1:00 game time - Clan wars cave)

Hosted by our very own Ironnospace, this is a perfect place to settle old grudges with PvP combat.

The event will be completely safe, and no red portal fights will take place.

Clan wars even over. Thanks to everyone who came, it was super fun!





>> Seasonal Miniquest : A Blast from the Past! (Monday, 5th December)

Without spoiling too much, expect a nostalgia filled plot as you travel from cupboard to cupboard, while unlocking some snazzy skilling areas along the way





>> Winter Weekend : Skilling! (10th to 11th December)

This is a great opportunity to get some grinding done; expect more node spawns in the Runespan, more stable fishing spots, and double respawn rates for mining rocks and trees!

(Artisans Workshop will give double experience for non-Ironman accounts during this time)





>> Winter Weekend : Bossing! (17th to 18th December)

There will be an increased chance of receiving rare drops and a 10% discount when buying instances... Giant Mole mass anyone?





>> Seasonal Miniquest : Christmas Never Dies! (Monday, 19th December)

The sequel to 'Blast from the Past', help Santa to find out wrong with the past and confront the perpetrator.





>> Winter Weekend : Minigames! (31st December to 1st January)

Great time to grind the Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza, as you'll have 600 daily bonus points to claim during this weekend.





>> Winter Weekend : Dungeoneering! (7th to 8th January)

Never has there been a better time to smash out some Dungeonering, as you'll be receiving double tokens from every dungeon! Get out there and buy those Gravites!

Spoilers:











If you complete a Terrorbird Racing Lap in under 200 seconds, you will receive a Bright Reindeer Terrorbird Mount!

Here's a picture of me riding it

Remember the Snow Globe reward from the 2007 Chritmas event? Well it's coming back this year as a permanent reward! This item will fill your whole inventory with snowballs when used, which you can then throw at other players!If you complete a Terrorbird Racing Lap in under 200 seconds, you will receive a Bright Reindeer Terrorbird Mount!Here's a picture of me riding it











Oh! And I almost forgot: I will be holding a Winter Themed Photo competition !



All you have to do is take a screenshot of anything winter themed from Runescape and post it below! I will pick 3 winners with the most awesome/interesting/festive pictures on the 26th of December and will award smiley ranks in the FC to the chosen pictures' submitter



Everyone is welcome to join in on this!





Well, Thats all from me for now, I will keep you updated on any developments and events as we go,



Have a great holiday, and happy 'scaping!

How about putting a space between the others to show them off better? It's sometimes hard to see where one ends and the other begins.

Time to add some competition into the works, After doing that Christmas Tree with Tree HeHe

Decided to do one F2p style with just the classic red fires, Planned the Tree to fit in perfectly on the mountain around all obstacles and did the entire tree on my own which was a bit of a challenge but challenge completed.



Enjoy My Screenie



(P.s. the tree not too obvious due to the non flat nature of the hillside)

All good no need for Apologies was planning to do multiple screenies anyways. Mat Mase gave no rules so decided to have some fun with it and love to use photoshop so couldn't resist. I never took your comment seriously, thought I timed my entry to the fc perfectly with that comment so just played with it haha.
