Welcome to Mega May - a bumper month of content with things to do for free players and RuneScape members. First up, log in each day and help the hapless Meg solve a series of detective cases across Gielinor. Secondly, take advantage of four May Weekends - each bringing a different series of in game bonuses and XP offers to RuneScape. Thirdly, get into Player-Owned Ports with month-long boosts and check out the fantastic lion outfit in Solomons Store. Bring it on!
People and possessions are going missing across Gielinor and Meg (of player-owned ports 'fame') is paying attention. She has set up her own detective agency and is offering her services to uncover anything that smells fishy in Gielinor. The only catch is shes not exactly experienced in these matters - can you help her?
Available for both free-to-play and RuneScape members
Log in to the game and click the Mega May pop-up to see todays case. Members can also be assigned a case by talking to Meg her new office in player-owned ports (use the portal in Port Sarim).
Get your detective hat on every day from now until the end of the month and help Meg solve Gielinors mostly pressing cases. Solving each of these mini-mysteries does not take long and will reward you with XP lamps, rewards and cosmetics like an awesome sock puppet which can even replace your chat head! Here are some examples:
A new case will be available every day until the end of May but dont worry if you miss a day- you can catch up on any cases that you have missed along the way until the event ends on 13th June at 23:59.
So, fire up those little grey cells and channel your inner Sherlock - enjoy!
