[Neo Avatars]

A dark house portal has appeared to the south of Falador once again. Tremble as you approach it, for it leads to the house of the Grim Reaper, Death himself!

In this year's Halloween event, Death has a problem with an uninvited guest. Choose to help out and you will journey to a realm rarely trod by creatures with only two feet, and converse with its irritable monarch.

Completing the event will reward you with two new wearable items – one of which has a mind of its own – so seek out the house of Death...if you dare!

We've also created a wallpaper based on this event, which you can download here.

We’ve made some improvements to the way banks calculate your free space. Free-players who used to be members will no longer have to dump all their members items to be able to use their banks and everyone can now see their usage in more detail on the interface. For more information, please read the Controls - Banks page.

We've updated the bank to make it automatically resize to fit your screen better. The interface will automatically extend downwards to show you more of your bank items.

Zahur in Nardah, who's moved to the building east of the bank, will now decant all of your potions (in any combination) into 3-dose vials for you. He charges a small fee for this service to cover the cost of any extra vials needed.

We've swapped two tasks in the Ardougne Achievement Diary. The medium diary might look a little odd if you've already completed it, but you should still be able to wear the cloaks for their effects.

An auto re-pick feature has been added when harvesting your mushrooms, berries and fruit from Farming patches.

When collecting a single item at the Grand Exchange, left-click will now withdraw the actual item and right-click will withdraw it as a note. Withdrawals for multiple items will behave as before.

Now I don't have to worry if I don't want members anymore.
Good thing it fits in better.
That's good, it keeps going in a note.

Best update ever for those of us who keep swapping between members and back to freelay for a time, though the explanation in the Jagex page is a bit confusing...

[Mohorak]

This is such a blatant parody of Spiderman

[Morty]

Reward in spoiler:

Spoiler: Click to Toggle the Spoiler.

"Eek the spider" is a spider you can hold in your main hand and play with, which plays a somewhat cool emote. And the cloak is a cloak with a huge web on it. Will be posting pictures soon.

THERE IS NO fudgeING REWARD???

Spoiler: Click to Toggle the Spoiler.

You get a cloak. Thats it.

[Close]

I have to say, the maze thing was the best part. Otherwise it was so boring and simple...

[Mohorak]

There is absolutely no reason to do this quest.

[Lupus Flamma V]

IMO, worst holiday event I've done
The reward is a spider you can talk to, play with, and wield
and a cape that has no emote and or boosts.

The cape is awful looking.

The spider is kinda fun though

[Mohorak]

Don't do it unless you like wasting 45 minutes on nothing.

[-82-]

I have exhausted everything to say with Eek. Well, thats my halloween over.

[Mohorak]

This is what I posted on the RSOF:

Awful event. This is a travesty.
First, why no emote? We've had a new emote every event for at least a year, right? I could think of 10 ideas right off the bat for emotes related to spiders.
Second, why no xp reward? Last Halloween was great because of the xp reward. And it doesn't give an unfair advantage to players because it's based on the level, not a flat amount.
Third, why does the cape do nothing? Last Halloween, we got a broom that teleports members to the Sorceress's Garden as well as gave us Magic experience.

[Handgunroy]

Anyone got a picture of the cape?
Wondering if I should abandon my slayer task to do this..
