Challenge System

The Challenge System is a system for members only which gives you a new Daily Challenge to complete every day. It was first mentioned on the September Behind the Scenes. The Daily Challenges can be about training your skills, playing minigames, participating in combat and other events. Completing a Daily Challenge also gives you extra experience and rewards. Challenges are different for every player and are always possible at your current skill levels. In addition, some daily challenges also give you a Challenge Mystery Bag, which contains some items which should equal up to around the cost price of the task.

One challenge is assigned per day, and can be in any of the 25 skills, or can also be assigned to play a minigame if the player did not complete it before the Challenge System update. To complete a challenge, one must turn in the required items to the Quartermaster in Burthorpe, just south of the bank chest. The player then receives reward xp and possibly a challenge bag. You do not need to have the items with you, the Quartermaster can take them straight from your bank. If the players have the item both in inventory and in bank, items in inventory is prioritized. This does not include random event items, such as Bird's nests. Sometimes the items are not taken and no Challenge Mystery Bag is received.

The first time a player logs in each day, they receive several messages, appearing in their chatbox, containing summaries of their active challenges, for example " New Daily Challenge: Adamantite ore (0/7) ". These messages are unfilterable. To check the details of their active challenges, click on the "Noticeboard" stone (second from left, between Combat Styles and Stats), open the noticeboard and click on "Skills" to see the daily tasks available. The newest challenge is at the top of the list.

Pinning
On selecting a task by "pinning" it, it becomes active. The task is then shown on the screen, but not in fixed mode. Only one task can be pinned at a time.

Daily challenges
The list of daily challenges is limited to 5 challenges. A new daily challenge is added every day. When challenges are completed, they are removed from the list. When a new challenge is added, if the list exceeds 5 challenges, the oldest challenge is removed from the list. It is, therefore, possible to keep old challenges on the list indefinitely if the player completes the new challenge every day, but leaves the old ones uncompleted.

Daily challenges have additional rewards beyond the xp granted while completing them. The reward varies from challenge to challenge.

Recommended challenges
You can finish challenges you have already done; however, for completing recommended challenges you already finished you do not get additional rewards. Additional rewards such as spins or bonus experience can be obtained only from a new daily challenge.

Trivia

 * The Challenge System banner is possibly a reference to the Challenge Accepted meme.
 * There is currently a glitch with the Runespan XI challenge where you cannot syphon nature runes in order to complete the task, though it says you can.
 * Currently, lighting beacons does not count as completed even though you have completed them.
 * Players can be challenged to catch monkfish when they have not completed Swan Song, if they have the required fishing level.
 * Players could be challenged to catch swordfish with Barbarian fishing even though they never completed the required training.
 * There is currently a glitch where your pinned challenge changes if for example you log out, but completing your original challenge will still count towards finishing it e.g. crafting 70 decorated fishing urns will change to have Wizard Cromperty teleport you to the essence mine 70 times
 * Players can be challenged to craft Blood and Death Runes even if they haven't completed the necessary quests.
