This Week In RuneScape: The Croesus Front

Oh dear adventurer, you’ve proven to be a formidable warrior in the Elder God Wars. You’ve battled an army of Nodon dragonkin and faced the deathly chill of the Arch-Glacor. Now a completely different challenge awaits. Lurking in Senntisten’s graveyard is a creature too powerful to take on in traditional combat.

The Elder God Bik has awoken Croesus, a terrifying, sentient fungus that has persisted for thousands of years. If left unchecked, it will consume everything in Senntisten.

This is a new type of confrontation altogether – RuneScape’s first ever skilling boss! You’ll need to work as a team and weaken the fungal foe using your Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing and Hunter skills. Rewards include XP, Cryptbloom Armor, two Skilling Off-hands and more!

For all the details, check out last week's reveal Newspost and Survival Guide!

We've teamed up with Xbox to bring you a host of goodies that will boost your RuneScape experience! Get the most out of Gielinor with the Skilling & Currency Pack, featuring currency, XP boosters and more.

Celebrate One Special Day with RuneScape! We’re delighted to be part of this annual event supporting Special Effect, a charity dedicated to helping people with physical disabilities enjoy video games.

We’ve prepared a One Special Day Bundle which you can purchase from the spotlight in the marketplace for 250 RuneCoins. It’s available for just one week, so grab yours before October 4th.

As the nights draw in, we’re looking forward to cosy jumpers and long nights curled up with a good book (specifically 'RuneScape: The First 20 Years', coming to all good book stores from October 12th)!

As well as hoodies, socks and other cosy treats from our merch store, it’s time to start thinking about the most important snuggle-enabler of the year… yes, the Official RuneScape Xmas Jumper 2021 is up for pre-order!

Continuing the celebration of our 20th Anniversary and the release of Dragon Slayer on September 23rd 2001, the fearsome Elvarg takes centre stage in this year’s design – complete with Santa cap, penguins, party hats and crackers! This cosy advent apparel is just the thing for staying warm this wintertime.

We’re offering 10% off all early-bird orders until midnight on October 3rd. Place your order ASAP to guarantee snagging one, as only limited stock will be available (at full price) after this date!

Wondering about delivery schedules? Stock at our UK warehouse is expected to start shipping by November 15th. Shipping times to many countries are affected by elements out of our control, so arrival timelines cannot be guaranteed. We therefore strongly recommend that any orders from outside the UK should be placed by the first week in December at the latest for the best chance of delivery in time for Christmas Day.

Visit the store for all this and more marvellous merch!
