Invasion of Falador

The Invasion of Falador is a two-week event that was released along with the Falador Graphical rework on 19 October 2015 in which the Zamorakian Black Knights stage an invasion of Saradominist Falador under White Knights control, in search for the lost sword of King Raddallin and the Banner of Raddallin.

Participating in the event earns commendation, of which 100 are required to make supply caches, which reward experience lamps, banner fragments, Falador resource bundles, bobble-head knight pets, and a candy floss maul.

There is a daily cap of 3,000 commendations. Further experience cannot be earned for that day after reaching the cap. There are various ways to earn commendations, including:
 * Killing white and black knights
 * Sabotaging catapults
 * Healing wounded soldiers
 * Popping party balloons

Balloon drop
After both Knight Champions are defeated, black and white balloons are dropped all around Falador. They can be burst to receive commendations, and a chance for the tiny white and black knight pets. This is signalled by a chatbox message of "".

Combat
Players can fight white or black knights to earn combat experience and commendations. The knights will have 10,000 life points, use abilities and scale to the players level, and thus should not be underestimated. Combat experience can be turned off by selecting the configure option on commendation.

Black knights spawn at the Kinshra camps directly east of the Falador lodestone as well as the camp directly east of the Clan Camp. White knights spawn at the camps in the Falador Castle courtyard and in the eastern square.

Before the balloon drop, every thirty minutes at :00 and :30 game time, one White and Black Knight champion spawn in Falador, signalled in the chatbox by. They are significantly tougher than normal knights, with 85,000 life points, and award over 100 commendations.



Healing
Injured knights can be found in the Kinshra and White Knight camps, locations shown above. Healing them earns commendations, and either Herblore or Constitution experience, which can be toggled by talking to a Nurse, or choosing in the commendation configure interface.



Sabotage
Catapults can be found in the northern Kinshra camp, south of Falador, Falador Park, and the eastern Falador square. Sabotaging them earns commendations, and either Construction or Woodcutting experience, which can also be chose in the commendation configure interface.

Treasure chest


In the east side of Falador Park, there is a treasure chest hidden under the ground that can be opened using tools. For contributing to unearthing the treasure, players can receive multiple rewards, including:



The mystery boxes contain a variety of rewards that have previously appeared, or do appear, in Treasure Hunter.

Research notes miniquest
A miniquest can be completed to permanently unlock the experience boost gained from the battle horn "charge" bonus, and receive the Banner of Farradorn cosmetic override. To start the miniquest the research notes must be obtained from a supply cache or by skilling. The order of NPCs to talk to is as follows:


 * 1) Herald of Falador in the eastern square
 * 2) Sir Renitee on the  floor of White Knights' Castle (east side)
 * 3) Image of Lord Daquarius at the northern or southern gates

 * 5) Falador Estate Agent in his house directly south of Falador park
 * 6) Aksel at the entrance to the Artisan's Workshop
 * 7) Wyson near the bridge at the west end of Falador Park

After speaking to the NPCs head down to the dwarven mines. In the central room, south of the small summoning obelisk, there will be a glowing rock. Click on it to reveal the Spirit of Farradorn and claim your reward.

Rewards
