Sup ladies and gentlemen,
Shisha and/or Mr Shisha speaking and i wanted to make sure that everyone within our marvelous clan is aware of the upcoming month of May.
There are quite a bit of activities going on and on top of that TONS of bonus experience to be gained and just amazingness everywhere.
Events - The main event for the month of May is going to be the 'Runescape Road Trip'...yeah sounds lame I know. BUT what it is is you get a journal with 20 tasks within. Throughout the month u complete a task to gain an experience lamp. Tasks are in a variety of categories from skilling, combat, minigames, and miscellaneous. (OH NO NOT COMBAT for you skillers) don't be alarmed my skiller friends, every day JMods will be at lumbridge crater giving 'chits' which can be used to skip tasks once per day (note: they are stackable and can be used throughout the entire month). With that being established time for some more rewards!
Explorers' Aura- an Aura granting you once per day (for 30 days from the day you unlock it) to an instanced area where you can skill or kill as much as you can with increased experience rates for a limited time! To obtain your aura (starting at Tier 1) you must complete a full category within the road trip journal. With every extra category that is completed your aura will upgrade granting you more time within this instanced area and also restarting the auras timer. So use your T1 aura before u upgrade for bonus time!
Companion pet and large experience lamp- These rewards are acquired from completing all of the categories within the Runescape Road Trip journal ( of which you receive a piece of a compass per category)
Your final reward (for those who don't have it from last year) is the Hiker's Outfit and Partyhat Firemaking animation! These are alongside your final reward for claiming the journal and completing all of the categories within!
