Runescape

Harvest Hollow Launches Today - This Week In RuneScape

Posted by on

Step into RuneScapes Harvest Hollow and team up with the Five Horsemen in a spooky new quest!

Harvest Hollow
New Spooky Seasonal Hub

As the warmth of summer fades, autumn begins its gentle descent upon the world of Gielinor, painting the landscape in hues of gold and amber. With each passing day, the sun lingers a little less, casting a soft glow over the evening sky - perfect for the creeping shadows of Harvest Hollow to emerge.

This year, visit the Land of Harvest and meet up with the Five Horsemen at their camp in the Harvest Hollow, the brand new seasonal hub for Halloween! You will be able to enjoy the festivities from October 14th until November 4th.

The hollow will play host to the clans and feature a host of activities to take part in, from the new seasonal quest "Field of Screams" to the diabolical Maize Maze. There are loads of spooky skilling activities to enjoy, where you can earn spooky tokens. There's even a weekly competition where each clan works to gather the most Confections! All the while you will be able to gather fabulous rewards like outfits, pets and of course, candy!

Free Froggly Outfit for Charity!
Making a splash

Need some ideas for a Halloween outfit? Why not Frog?

This adorable amphibian-inspired outfit is available for free in the marketplace! Be sure to pick it up before it hops away on the 21st of October.

While you are in the marketplace, do also check out the Runecoin Donation bundles. Our charity partners do tons of wonderful work, and so instead of charging for the Froggly Outfit we instead decided to make it free and enabled the RuneCoin donations bundles so that you can pay what you want! All proceeds from these bundles go to support our charity partners. You'll even unlock some titles as a bonus!

Where did the idea come from?

On International Women's Day this March, Jagex played host to nearly 100 students from a nearby girls' school. In a series of workshops they discussed art, audio, game design, and more - and over the course of the day, they designed this frog-tastic outfit.

Our talented team of designers took that initial concept and made the fabulous Froggly Outfit! Make sure to grab yours in-game today!
