Halloween has arrived! The home area has received an overhaul and has a more spooky, halloween-fitting look. In addition to this, a halloween event will be running for three weeks starting today.
To start the event, simply talk to the Grim Reaper who can be found just south of home (by the thieving area, see image below). The objective is to collect 50 pumpkins and bring them back to him. The pumpkins are found in chests which are moved around the world every 15 minutes. You can loot a maximum of 5 pumpkins per person & chest spawn, and a maximum of 20 people can loot the chest before it moves. To find the chest, you will be given a locator orb by the Grim Reaper. Use it to determine the current location of the chest before it moves (see image below). Note that some chest spawns can be in the wilderness. The chests are guarded by four ghosts. These are aggressive, however they’re quite weak and should be no problem fending off.
The reward for completing the minigame is a Ghost pet, which will be discontinued after the event concludes. Everyone who completes the event also have a 10% chance at receiving a free Halloween mystery box. The boxes also contain limited edition halloween items. These boxes may also be purchased from the store, starting tomorrow, for the duration of this event.They may also be received as a drop from invading zombies. Every 60 minutes, 10 zombies will invade the home area. These can be killed by players who have completed the halloween event for a chance at receiving a halloween mystery box. To see the rewards from the box, see the images below.
Lastly, also starting tomorrow, a discount code will be available in the store: ‘HALLOWEEN25‘. It will let you take 25% off on all your purchases!
Two new pets with effects are introduced to the game with this box; ‘Death jr‘ & ‘Vampyre jr‘. The Death jr has a 7,5% drop rate boost, just like Party pete jr, and changes the color of its mask on every spawn. The Vampyre jr has a 5% chance to heal you for 25% of the damage you deal in PvM combat (all styles).

Today I bring you another update log consisting of a lot of much needed fixes, improvements & requested additions. I wont take up too much of your time, just wanted to say we are still working diligently working on getting the updated RuneLite out – hopefully it should come this week. Shortly thereafter, we will announce the release date of Theatre of Blood. Anyway, todays updates are as follows:
Re-worked flower poker – it now works a lot smoother and lets you plant seeds yourself. There is however a time-out, so if you wait over 10 game ticks seeds will be autoplanted for you. All the previous bugs/issues with items disappearing should be fixed and your gambling should now be uninterrupted. Buying seeds from the Wise Old Man has been increased to 50 at the price of 1M, as you now need 5 per game rather than 1.
I hope you will enjoy!
Best regards,

We’re still a little bit out from releasing the updated RuneLite version of the client with HD, GPU Plugin, Stretched mode and more. It will be a huge lift for your experience and playing with GPU rendering will reduce your client lag significantly to make Rigour even more enjoyable. Below follows some sneak-peeks (full-screen, 150+ fps):
In the meantime, though, a few updates and fixes have been applied. The list of updates may be found below.
