Lumbridge Rebuildathon

The Lumbridge Rebuildathon is an event released on 30 October 2013 in lieu of a typical Hallowe'en event.

In the event, players help Foreman George and his crew builders repair Lumbridge after the devastation caused by Zamorak and Saradomin fighting in the Battle of Lumbridge. Players will also help them dismantle the camps left by Zamorakians and Saradominists.

Starting the event
The event can be started by talking to Foreman George in Lumbridge, between Explorer Jack and Hank's houses. He needs players to obtain resources for the rebuilding of several buildings in Lumbridge, namely Explorer Jack's house, Hank's fishing shop Lumbridge Fishing Supplies, and the Lumbridge General Store. When players agree to help Foreman George, he gives them a Builder's apron.

Resources


Resources can be gained around Lumbridge, although players are limited to collecting 1,500 resources daily. Resources that are currently required must then be handed to Foreman George or one of the other builders in order to contribute. If you meet your daily cap, or gather resources that are not currently needed, they can be stored in stacks located within the Lumbridge crater, to the west of Foreman George. Note that storing supplies in the stack does NOT contribute towards the currently needed resources, although it does give points, albeit less than if given to one of the builders.

Resources in the stack can be claimed by all players who have not met the cap and given to the builders, provided that the stacks are not empty. Resources taken from the stack give less points when given to the builders than when gathered from elsewhere, meaning that the daily cap is reached slower, allowing players to contribute more resources towards the rebuildathon per day. If players are solely interested in points, they should gather supplies from elsewhere.

Battle of Lumbridge memorial


On 2 November during the RuneFest 2013 event, a new memorial for the fallen combatants of the Battle of Lumbridge is being built in Lumbridge. This memorial is also a chance for RuneFesters and in-game players to collaborate.

Currently, a memorial tent can be seen next to Foreman George, stating the memorial is being "built away from prying eyes" under the tent. Resources in the form of reclaimed stones can be deposited to Builder Bob, right outside the memorial tent. The contribution of the memorial will be shown as a thermometer on the status board. Contributing to the memorial will yield more contribution points, to a maximum of 1,500 in addition to the daily limit, and thus more XP. If the memorial is not completed by the end of 2 November 2013, then it will remain incomplete indefinitely.

Trivia
Lumbridge Rebuildathon Joined the Rebuildathon to help repair the damage done to Lumbridge by the gods' battle.
 * After rubble was cleared from Explorer Jack's house around an hour after release, a glitch caused the rebuildathon to be completed in a matter of seconds. Some time later, the first floor of Jack's house returned to its ruined state, and the rest of the house and the other buildings soon followed, although NPCs continued to act as though the rebuildathon was complete for some time after. Players who obtained the rewards still have them.
 * On 31 October, when the rebuild of Explorer Jack's house was on step 11, the progress was reset back to the first step. On 1 November, the progress was back at step 11.
 * There is currently a glitch that allows players to stand inside the plank stack.
 * When one begins the Lumbridge Rebuildathon, a player's Adventurer's Log will read:
 * The glitch that prevents players from adding stones to the memorial if their daily limit with George Foreman has been fixed.
 * There is currently a glitch at the south-eastern part of the Saradominist camp, near the fallen tree, which teleports the player to a location where they cannot move from. You can, however, still leave this location by teleporting.
