2012 Winter event

The 2012 Winter event is a sequel to the 2011 Winter event in which players have to kill Hati, and this year Sköll as well. You can begin the 2012 Winter event by talking to the Fremennik citizen outside the gates of Rellekka. The event was released on 16 January 2012. Upon completing the event (killing both Hati and Sköll) players will have the opportunity to obtain Hati paws, Hati head, Hati Cloak and Skoll boots. Although, there is only an 80% chance of each drop, so you might have to kill Hati or Sköll more than once.

Starting the Hunt
To start this event, go to the Fremennik citizen outside of the Rellekka gates and talk to her. She says Hati is scaring everyone in the Fremennik lands. According to her Hati makes the lands very cold in the winters, and his brother Sköll makes the lands burning hot in the summer. Their goal is to consume the moon and the sun, respectively. They can't be reasoned with, so the citizen asks you to help fight them both.

Hati
After talking to the citizen infront of Rellekka you can now search for Hati. He has three spawn points to the east of Rellekka which are scattered from the north to the south of this area. It is not hard to find any of these spawn points for Hati as there will likely be many players waiting at each spawn point to kill them.

Hati is a level 654 wolf. He will always drop wolf bones, and has an 80% chance of dropping each piece of clothing (Hati paws, Hati head and Hati Cloak). As long as you do 1 hit point of damage you have the same chance of receiving the drop as everybody else. The best tactic to finding Hati is to stay in a single spawn location and wait until Hati spawns there. It is not recommended to run to another spawn when told that he has spawned, as the large amount of players there will probably have already killed him.

Sköll
Sköll spawns to the west of Rellekka and only has a single spawn location. To begin this part of the event you will need to talk to Vitharr. She wishes to summon Sköll when he is at his weakest in order to defeat him and rid the Fremennik of his threat. By doing so, he hopes to show the wolf brothers that the Fremennik cannot be bested at any time of year, thus deterring the brothers from attacking the citizens. To summon Sköll, Vitharr advises the player to build a fire as intense as the sun, so that Sköll is drawn to the realm to investigate.

Run around this area and cut as many trees as you can to collect wood. It does not matter what kind of trees you cut as they all (eg. Tree, Oak trees) will work. Once you've got enough wood go back and add it to the fire. When the fire is big enough Sköll will spawn.

Sköll is a level 672 wolf. He will always drop wolf bones, and has an 80% chance of dropping Skoll boots. As long as you do 1 hit point of damage you have the same chance of receiving the drop as everybody else. Make sure you attack Sköll as quickly as possible as you will be surprised at how quickly so many players can kill him.

Rewards

 * Hati head (purely cosmetic).
 * Hati paws which will provide double experience in all combat skills (excluding Summoning and Prayer) for up to 10 hours of combat. If you already have a pair you will receive a recharge for your paws instead.
 * Hati Cloak which recharges the Hati paws if obtained in 2011.
 * Skoll boots which provide double experience in both Woodcutting and Agility for up to 10 hours.

NOTE: The charges on both the Hati paws and Sköll boots will only last until 16 May 2012.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology Hati and Sköll are two wolves who are trying to devour the moon and sun (respective to each wolf). This same theme is continued in RuneScape as the Fremennik are heavily based around the Norsemen.
