Timepiece
This article documents a current event.
Details may change rapidly as the event progresses, and the last updates to this page may not reflect the most current information.
Not to be confused with the Winter events.

Winter Weekends is a series of events exclusive to members held during December 2012. There are five segments planned, for each weekend in December. It is notable that these "weekends" only include Saturday and Sunday, unlike some weekend events before which started on Friday and/or ended on Monday.

The Festive aura was released for the month of December in conjunction with Winter Weekends.

Trivia

  • Raw salmon incorrectly gave 150xp instead of 140xp for a short time during the Double Slayer and Fishing XP weekend. This was fixed several minutes after the release.
  • Due to an error at the start of the Week 4 - Double Fishing and Slayer XP event, free-to-play players were able to benefit from double fishing XP for approximately two hours, at which point the mistake was fixed.
