2007 Christmas event





The 2007 Christmas event was released at about 2:00 PM UTC on December 18, 2007, and will continue running until the first update in January.

Snow imps appear in Falador, Draynor Village, Relekka, Ardougne and Burthorpe at the holiday icon. Snow also falls from the Land of Snow, which players can go to by asking the snow imps to take them there. Players can pick this snow up and wield snowballs like a ranged weapon, with the Accurate, Rapid and Long-range attack styles. The snowballs are not stackable.

When a snowball is equipped, other players will have a "pelt" option as default, rather than "walk here". When you pelt another player, you lose one snowball and your character automatically re-equips the next one.

Players could also build snowmen by right-clicking a snowball in the inventory it and selecting the "Build Snowball" option. Clicking the resulting snow pile added more snow to the snowman and used another snowball from the inventory each time. It takes 10 snowballs to build a lower torso, then 6 for the upper torso, followed by 4 snowballs for arms and another 10 for a head, totalling 30 snowballs to make an unfinished snowman. Since this is more than an inventory full, players will need to pick more snow. After this, players must get one of the five snowmans hats from the ice imps: Dragon snowman hat, Pirate snowman hat, Barbarian snowman hat, Snowman top hat and Dwarf snowman hat and use it with the snowman, bringing it to life.



At the Land of Snow, players may talk to the Queen of Snow to get a Snow Globe, which will fill the player's inventory with snow each time it is shaken, making it easier to build snowmen.

If one builds or helps to build a snowman, he/she will unlock the new "Snowman Dance" emote once it is complete (with a hat). The snowman dance is a wiggle to the left, right,left, and then right.

The hats and weapons will disappear after the event is over.

Snow Tournament
In the Land of Snow, players will also be able to equip the snowmen with three weapons, one from each corner of the combat triangle: Ice sword, Holly bow and Winter staff. This is done in the same way as hats. However, all weapons disappear when a player leaves the Land of Snow.

Once complete, these Snowmen will be level 29 with a maximum hit of 4 damage. They will try to attack other snowmen, but they cannot attack or be attacked by players. They will fight each other with their snow weapons until one of them dies, and have the same "pelt" option as players, except that pelting them will heal them, 1 hitpoint at a time. When healed, there will be a blue '1' splat on the snowman, like that which is normally a '0', but a lighter blue colour. It is possible for players to put the hat on top of a snowman just as another player puts the final piece on, therefore switching control of the snowman to the player that built it.
