Double XP & Retro Dragon Claws - This Week In RuneScape

20 February 2023 Game Updates

This week: a fierce new retro skin and your last chance for mega boosts to your skilling!

Retro Dragon Claw Bundle
Slice and dice...

It has been a while since the last retro skin but the wait is over � the Dragon Claws are finally ready to rip! Shred and tear through your enemies (or poor unfortunate target dummies) in style.

The Retro Dragon Claw bundle will arrive with today�s update, costing 200 RuneCoins (180 for Members). It contains:

Replica Dragon Claw
Replica Dragon Claw off-hand
Dragonwing Claw
Dragonwing Claw off-hand

Ripping stuff. With the Claws unleashed, we�ll now be turning our attentions to the next skin on the list � the Abyssal Whip is on its way! You won�t have to wait nearly as long to get your hands on this classic cosmetic, either. Here�s a look at the work in progress:

Pretty soon we�ll be launching a poll on our social channels to narrow down the final look, so be ready to cast your vote in the near future!

Double XP LIVE
Continues until February 27th

We�re sure many of you are busy working on your shiny new Forts this week, but don�t forget to take advantage of those juicy increased experience gains while working on your Construction! If you were really canny you could also save up some of your rested XP to get more out of your other skills too� work smart, not hard innit #productivity

Double XP LIVE continues until Monday February 27th, starting and ending at 12:00 PM Game Time.

Account Safety
A quick reminder about emails

Recently we've had a number of reports from players who have received spoof phishing emails.

We want to remind all players that any emails relating to your account will be delivered to your Player Inbox, which can be accessed in-game and on RuneScape.com. If in doubt, stop, be safe and check your Player Inbox!

Treasure Hunter Calendar
Training arc ending soon, Gemfall spotted on the horizon

Starts Feb 16th | Ends Feb 22nd | Foresight to Train

Only two days left on Foresight to Train, so if you have any gain goals be sure to jump in before it finishes.

Starts Feb 23rd | Ends Feb 27th | Gemfall

Gemfall returns with multipliers galore! This time your regular Treasure Hunter chests are replaced with just the one, but there are always multipliers active above it. What's more, as you use Keys there�s a chance the gems will shatter, rerolling their multiplier and possibly causing a Gemfall � meaning you can choose extra prizes! If you�re on the hunt for Bohr the Aurora Bear or the Gem Cape, Gem Crown or Gem Sack, this one is not to be missed.
