The wilderness Flash events will consist of:
-Gain Xp
-Receive rare drops
-Unlock new titles and achievements
-
Scalable skilling and combat activities

-The ability to challenge an high level group of enemies.


We should now be 100% certain this event is nowhere close to randomly spawned Demon Flashmobs in Wildy.

Glad to see we have both skilling and combat in the same events, although it is still not clear whether we are going to have 1 week for skilling and then next week for combat or a combination of them in the same week.

Even more glad to see the Scalable activities. I think all kinds of skillers and killers of all levels are welcome to these events.


I think this will be the Halloween event for this year. The mixture of Skilling and killing seems to suggest that. Maybe I am wrong though.

If you recall the " Til death do us part" Event that happened in 2018, it could be something like that ( thus each week is something).

May I ask: why do you think the content will take place over a few weeks?

These events start in Oct 10. Halloween comes so early this year?

Also, bear in mind the Halloween event hub is in Draynor Manor, not the Wilderness.

"Death Til us part"- 2018 Halloween event started on Oct 8th 2018 ;)

source- https://runescape.wiki/w/2018_Hallowe%27en_event

The 2021 Halloween event Started on Oct 18th 2021

source- https://runescape.wiki/w/2021_Hallowe%27en_event

So its entirely possible that it starts early ;) All depends on the length of the event in question.

The Hub being in draynor does not mean that they won't want to make the wilderness the center of the Halloween event this year. They could easily move it around ( as they have in the past).

If these events, plural, not just one event is like 'Til Death Do them Apart, then it will be the best "Halloween Event" ever. 'Til Death Do Them Apart is not really Halloween themed. It is definitely immensely related to the main storylines.

Do you think that all of the wilderness events will be linked together at the end? Maybe instead of an skill for each week, there is an story event each week ( depending on how long they plan on the content to last). And the final week will be the conclusion of all the previous weeks build up.

Hopefully we will know more soon ;)

I already predicted this on my very first post on this thread (page 1, post 2):

Wildnerness flash events... They won't be like Demon Flash Mobs which is a permanent content, and events (plural) may suggest we have different forms of temporary content instead of just a one-off event, perhaps like Battle of the Monolith which has different events each for a different week?


'Til Death Do them Apart is the same kind of story driven events (again plural, events not event) like The Battle of Monolith. I just used a different example to illustrate the same prediction on Wildy Flash Mob Events being a series of story driven events over many weeks.

Something occurred to me earlier today; with us getting involved in the Zamorakian Civil War in the coming months, I suspect we'll see Darklight get an upgrade at some point. The only time it's been upgraded in the past decade and a half or so was during as a reward from Dimension of Disaster back in 2015; with us likely to be spending a lot of time in the very near future up to our necks in Demons, this would be quite the opportune time for us to uncover a new means of enhancing the original Demon Slaying weapon... perhaps something to do with the Everlight? That place has felt like a dangling plot thread waiting for its time to do something important since Archaeology came out...

Flash Mobs are coming out next week, and it sounds like a real smorgasbord. Lots of skilling and killing content mini-events, and I was right, KBD wasn't just a placeholder; one of the events has him show up as a miniboss with an increased drop rate.

We're also getting three new miniquests over the remainder of this plot arc, all due before the end of the year. And it sounds like, for the duration of the Civil War event, we'll be recruited as supply runners for both factions.

Sounds exciting!
