NovtumberFest

NovtumberFest is a seasonal event, similar to the Summer Beach Party, that started on the 9 October 2017 and will last 4 weeks. It takes place in the Lumbridge Crater.

Activities
Participating in the activities is free for all players, and unlike previous events there is not a cap on the amount of times a player can participate. Ironmen can participate in the event.

Farming
Hops have emerged on either side of the paths into the Lumbridge Crater, which can be interacted with to yield experience in Farming and Novtumber hops. After harvesting for a while, the hops will deplete and will require time to regenerate before players can gather them again. Neither gathering nor turning in hops will fill farming urns.

The collected hops can be given to Marta, south of the glass-blowing furnace, for extra experience in Farming.

Crafting
Players can receive Crafting experience by creating steins at the glass-blowing furnace, which does not require any materials. No items are received by taking part in this activity.

Agility
Located near Jonas, there are lines of dwarves emerging from three tents that are waiting to be served drinks from three benches. To do this, players have to slide drinks from the barrels in front of the benches in a minigame. Only one drink can slide along each bench at a time.

If there is a dwarf that hasn't been served, they will grab the drink and the player will be granted experience in Agility. Otherwise, the drink will topple over and fall to the ground, resulting in no experience being gained. If this happens too many times, the minigame will end.

Cooking
At the north entrance of the Lumbridge Crater, a dwarven cook named Jakob has set up grills that players can use to grill sausages. By taking part in the activity, players will receive Cooking experience. Cooked Sausages are received by taking part in this activity, and it does not require any materials.

Summoning & Slayer
Wizard Deedit, located at the east entrance of the crater, is having trouble trying to send wolpertingers back to the spirit plane. Players can talk to him to open an interface, allowing them to slay or dismiss the wolpertingers.

Choosing to slay a wolpertinger will grant Slayer experience for the player, while choosing to dismiss them will grant Summoning experience instead.

Constitution
Players can receive Constitution experience by going through a purple portal in the tent near Klara. The portal takes players to a snowy racetrack.

Ranged
Friedrich has set up three targets for players to practice their Ranged skills on. Each time that a player fires a shot at a target, they receive Ranged experience. This activity does not require any combat equipment.

Divination & Invention
Players can ride a giant carousel tent in the center of the crater to earn experience in Divination. If players have already reached the maximum level in Divination, they will instead receive experience in Invention.

Prayer
Prayer experience can be earned by taking part in a dancing activity near the carousel. While performing any dance moves will grant experience, following Mila and Elias' moves will provide the best experience rate.

Smithing
Lukas, located at the south entrance of the crater, provides an activity where players can manufacture barrels to house the festival's beer. Taking part in the activity allows players to receive experience in Smithing.

Hunter
Gunther, who spawns at a different location in Gielinor every 4 hours, can be found and spoke to for a hint about where Wolly? is. Finding Wolly? and returning him to Gunther will provide the player with Hunter experience. The location for Gunther is different per world, so switching between worlds may help players find him quicker. The location for Wolly? is different per player.

When Gunther spawns, a message will appear in the chatbox similar to

Bar Crawl
At the south entrance of the crater, Johanna provides bar crawl cards to players who want to take part in the festival's bar crawl. There are two different types of cards - standard and advanced.

By taking part in the bar crawl, players can receive experience lamps. One lamp is granted for each bar completed. For completing all of the cards, an additional two lamps are provided.

Other
Players can collect Novtumberfest beer from the various tables within the crater. Drinking one grants a temporary skill boost for Strength (+2), heals the player by 200 life points and reduces the player's Attack level temporarily by 5 points.
