2007 Christmas event





The 2007 Christmas event is the current Christmas event which started on the 18th December. It was stated in the update, "Behind the Scenes - December 2007".

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 build snowmen by right-clicking it and selecting "Build". It takes 10 snowballs to build a lower torso, then 6 for the upper torso, followed by 3 snowballs for arms and another 10 for a head, totalling 29 snowballs. 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 Hat, Pirate Hat, Barbarian Hat, Top Hat and Dwarf 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, (s)he will unlock the new "Snowman Dance" emote once it is complete (with a hat).

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 Blade, 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 and will try to attack other snowmen, but they cannot be attacked. They will attack each other with their snow weapons until one of them dies, and have the same "pelt" option as players, except that pelting them will occasionally 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'.
