Known Issues	Status
We are aware that for some players the Gemstone Crab on Grid Master won't bury, meaning the task can't be completed.	We've put a hotfix live that in the short-term, has reduced the amount of players who receive the message to 400. We will continue to work on removing the cap gradually. Thanks for your patience.
Some players are currently unable to hand in the four decorations to Fred during the Halloween event.	Hotfixed. If you have been affected prior to the fix, you can resolve this by deleting the painting and obtaining a new one from Seth to continue your progress.
We are aware that the Spooky Chair can be brought into the Gauntlet.	Hotfixed.
Some players Farming Timers aren't boosted by the Grid Master rates.	A hotfix has been deployed so players shouldn't encounter this going forward. If you did encounter this, please relog and this should resolve the problem.

Old Schools first community event is here: Grid Master awaits! Dive in, climb the ranks, but don't forget to stop by Lumbridge for some Halloween antics with Fred the Farmer!

Relic Design Race Competition

In the spirit of our very first community event, we're also here with first-of-its-kind competition...

The first three players to fully complete the grid will have a chance to work with us to create a brand new Relic for the upcoming Leagues VI.

We're excited to see you think on the fly and push to become the grid's masters - get that podium finish!

For full details and to check if you're eligible to participate, check out T&Cs for more info!!

Finally, we wanted to say good luck and have fun to everyone hoping into Grid Master, we'll see you there!

Halloween 2025

Golden crispy leaves outside the window, Pumpkin Spice drinks buffing your IRL Warmth Meter, jack-o-lanterns slowly spawning on doorsteps... Autumn has already worked its magic, and now the Spooktober vibe has hit Gielinor, too!

Not a bad doggo >:( Just a bat doggo ^.^

Getting the Event Started

Talking of Halloween-themed house decorations popping up everywhere... Apparently Death, the Grim Reaper himself, is hosting the Spook-a-thon Decoration Contest. Fred has signed up and wants to turn his humble home into a full-on spook fest, but he gravely needs your help to do so. Help him if you dare...

To start this year's Halloween Event, speak to Fred the Farmer by visiting his farmhouse north-west of Lumbridge.

Rewards

As always, once you complete the quest, there are some wicked rewards up for grabs!

Spooky Chair

Remember those spooky chairs at the Draynor Manor moving on their own as if they're possessed? Now you can summon one of those to follow you around for a little while! Not to be confused with a pet though, it will tag along with you for around 10 seconds once you click the "Drop" option on the chair in your inventory. But you may still have a spooky feeling like you're being followed...

Chair Spinner

Similar to above, the spooky chair will go full spinny and cursed if you use the "Spin" option on the chair in your inventory.

If you can't see the image above, click here!

Grim Reaper Outfit

Currently, the Grim Reaper Hood already exists in-game, but it doesn't have a matching complete outfit. Tut tut tut, that's about to change! You can now complete your killer fashionscape with the Grim Reaper Top, Grim Reaper Bottom and Grim Reaper Gloves.

If you can't see the image above, click here!

Don't have the Grim Reaper Hood? No worries, all the rewards from previous Halloween events, including the hood, can still be unlocked. Just speak to Diango in Draynor to claim them!

Spooky Pumpkin Lantern

What more do we need to say? The previous image says it all. It wouldn't be Halloween without a new spooky jack-o-lantern you can haunt the streets of Gielinor with...

Halloween Livestream

If you can't see the image above, click here!

Tomorrow, October 16th 3pm UTC, following the event release, we'll be hosting a Halloween livestream, consisting of:

• Spooky Parade: Put on the spooky fashionscape of your choice and meet us outside the Draynor Manor garden at 3pm UTC on World 520!
• The parade will be led by Mod Rach who will also be on screen for her livestream debut! Come say hi and give her a warm welcome!
• JMods Draw - Halloween Edition: We're continuing our JMods Draw tradition, but with a Halloween twist. Mods West and Jerv will be sharing their designs inspired by your suggestions in the #jmods-draw-halloween channel on Discord. Reminder that this is purely for funsies only.
• Pumpkin Carving Competition Finals: We'll be voting on finalist entries of the Pumpkin Carving Competition on Twitch chat and your votes will determine the winners!
• Mass Corps Event in Spooky Fashionscape: At the end of the stream, well also do a mass Corporeal Beast run in all its chaos, befitting Halloween. Put on your most Halloween inspired outfits and meet Mod Manked at the entrance of Corporeal Beasts lair (this is not a lure, we promise... Use the Games Necklace to teleport to the entrance of the lair) on World 519. If you wanna go for DPS gear instead, go ahead - you do you! Any fashionscape/gear preference is welcome.

Community Discord Event

JMod Wars

Join us for another round of JMod Castle Wars action!

If you can't see the image above, click here!

When?

• Friday, October 24th
• 4:00-5:00 PM BST (Massing from 3:45 PM be ready! 14.45 UTC / 10.45 ET / 07:45 PT / 01:45 AET)

Where?

• The official OSRS Discord - Streamed on a stage for anyone who wants to just watch the chaos!
• World 522

What?

We're flipping your classic Castle Wars experience on its head and unleashing some chaos.

Two J-Mods, Mod Nerco and Mod Rach, will join the fray as each team's unkillable, flag-thieving behemoths. These arent just mascots theyre mobile mega Mods with 1,000,000 Hit points and a dream!

The plan?

As soon as the game starts, the enemy J-Mod will teleport into your base to steal your flag. Your team must stop them at all costs, while also escorting your own J-Mod and their mountain of hitpoints back to safety. The JMods will have a few tricks up their sleeve - so watch out.

Bring your gear, bring your A-game, and get ready for the most absurd Castle Wars match youve ever seen!
