Easter Event 2025
Our egg-stra special friend, the Easter Bunny, has vanished like your GP after a bad PKing trip. The flowers arent blooming, the chocolate eggs arent rolling, and the citizens of Varrock are feeling disturbingly un-festive. Somethings wrong... Somethings eggstremely wrong!

This years Easter event is a mystery filled with strange clues, stranger characters, and a journey that will take you somewhere youve never been before. Things kick off in Varrock, where some less-than-jubilant citizens are wondering what happened to their favourite egg-centric holiday. Something about... carrot bits? Hmm.
Follow the clues to hunt down the Easter Bunny and bring spring back on track!
Completing the event will earn you a new seasonal outfit that will certainly help you stand out in the dark. Youll also receive Easter rewards from any previous events youve missed.

Permanent Deadman Tweaks
While most of Gielinor are busy hunting eggs and examining root vegetables, our fiercest warriors in Permanent Deadman Mode have been busy dying gloriously on the fields of battle! To help them out, weve got a fresh bunch of tweaks and fixes.
No More Quest Blocking
Weve seen too many brave souls get stuck in group quest limbo, so Heroes' Quest and Shield of Arrav will now autocomplete for all eligible Deadman accounts, including anyone whos made progress on them before. No more begging for a Phoenix Gang partner just to slap some gloves on!
S.T.A.S.H. Units are Live
These convenient hidey holes are now completely functional in Permanent Deadman! Build them, store clue gear in them, and save precious Inventory space like a true clue master.
Nimbleness Charm Improvements
The Nimbleness Charm now works with more Agility shortcuts that were previously snubbed due to different checks under the hood. If it didnt work before and shouldve - it probably does now! Just keep the Charm in your Inventory and it should work well, like a charm!
Better Breach Rewards
Weve adjusted the drop rates for breach monsters, giving you a much higher chance to hit the unique loot table. This includes Charms, Trinkets, and those deliciously deadly Ancient Warrior weapons.
Ruby Bolts Nerfed
Weve reinstated a fix from Deadman: Armageddon! Ruby Bolt (e) Special Attacks are now capped at 30 damage against breach monsters. Thats right, no more one-tapping your way to domination with gemstone gimmicks. Still powerful, just not 100-damage powerful.
Keep the feedback coming and the loot flowing!
Feedback Wanted: Bank UI Changes
In Poll 84, were asking if youd like to deposit the contents of handy items like the Fish Barrel, Coal Bag, Seed Box, and Log Basket straight into your Bank. Very nice. Very tidy.
That functionality is in the poll, but theres one small catch: to make this magic happen, we need to squeeze in a shiny new Deposit Container button somewhere on the Bank interface, but space is precious!
The current bank layout has four separate buttons at the bottom. Two are for Rearrange Mode (Swap/Insert), and two are for Withdraw As (Item/Note). Were thinking we could turn those into two tidy toggles instead.
Same functions, less button clutter, and just enough room left over to squeeze in that sweet, sweet Deposit button.
Heres how the Bank looks now:

And heres our proposed update:

Familiar functions? Still there. New button? Included. Interface clutter? Decreased. Vibes? Immaculate.
But what do you think? Is this an improvement, or do you hate it with every pixel of your being? Let us know! Your feedback will help us fine-tune this feature if it passes the poll, so speak now or forever hold your peace.
