Welcome to the Beach

Activities

The fun, XP-giving passtimes from last year's Beach Party have returned , along with some awesome new additions.

NEW - Terrorbird Races

Complete laps as quickly as you can for maximum Agility XP and a chance to be on the hiscores page, viewable by clicking on the start gate.

Pick up a terrorbird mount by the starting gate to get started, or use your (now recolourable) April Fools' terrorbird mount.

Races start on the hour. Good luck!

NEW - Hook-a-Duck

Wield a rod and hook a duck for Hunter XP.

Fight Clawdia

The raging crustacean spawns every 45 minutes after the hour. Her damage scales to your current life points, so everyone can dive in and help drive her back.

Old Favourites

Of course, the summer fun from last year returns. Whatever you fancy training, there's something for you:

• Sandcastles Construction XP
• Rock pool fishing Fishing XP
• Barbecues Cooking XP
• Coconut gathering/depositing Farming XP
• Coconut shy Ranged XP
• Beachball rolling Agility XP
• Muscle beach Strength XP

Every 15 minutes one of the XP-giving activities will be spotlighted, yielding +10% XP. Please note that the spotlighted activity varies from world to world.

You can keep earning XP until your temperature gauge fills up completely, although this can be reset up to three times a day by consuming ice creams.

Please note that Ironman players earn 50% less XP for participating in beach activities.

JMods can activate Happy Hour on the beach to really get the party started. Happy Hour will spotlight all beach activities except for Terrorbird Racing and will freeze all temperature gauges, earning you a bonus hour of beach skilling!

Treasure Map | Daily Rewards

The Treasure Map is a new feature which you can use to collect handy items each day from 16th August until 11th September.

Speak to Reyna in Lumbridge Crater to collect the map, then click it in your inventory to get started.

The interface will update each day to show another cross on the map, which can be clicked to claim the treasure.

There's also the option to use a Bond to claim any prizes you have missed see the right-hand side of the interface.

Note that using the Bond option also allows you to claim any prizes you may miss later in the event, as they are released, up until the event ends. You will never need to use more than one Bond to unlock missed Treasure Map items.

Rewards

There are a number of useful items that you can earn by fighting Clawdia and participating in other beach activities:

• Ice cream: This tradeable, consumable item resets a full temperature gauge to 0. You can use up to three per day.
• Anti-sun potion: Also tradeable, this item gives a +5% boost to any XP earned through beach activities and any other training on the beach. The effect lasts for 24 hours of real time.
• Cocktails: These come in four fruity flavours, each boosting XP gain in a different group of skills combat, artisan, gathering and support. By drinking more of the same type, you can stack the XP boost up to 10%. The effect lasts for 30 minutes of logged-in time.

Please note: These items will be removed from game on the 3rd October.

There's also a rare chance to get tradeable tokens that can be redeemed for one of several new beach items. Please note: The tokens will become untradeable at the end of this year.

These items can also be purchased from the vendors around the beach for RuneCoins, as can challenge gems, dwarven challenge barrels, party packs and masterwork music boxes.

Finally, there's a bunch of secret rewards available for fulfilling certain conditions on the beach. Have fun discovering them!
