A Guide to the Runescape Christmas Event and Quest

Event: This must be completed before you can start the event. I will assume that you are starting in Lumbridge.

To start the event you must speak to a head snow imp which are located in 3 places. However first it is prudent to speak to explorer Jack in Lumbridge. This means that you will have begun the quest and will not have to return to Lumbridge after the event.

Now head towards Draynor village and on the way you will notice a largpatch of ice;probably with a large group of players congregating around it. On the map there will be an icon of a present. This is the starting place of the event. Talk to the Head Snow Imp (the one with the hat) and ask to help him find Jack Frost. He will give you an amulet that can summon a snow imp (this MUST be worn at ALL times or you will be frozen by Jack Frost).

Now that you have the amulet call forth an imp and make the introductions. He will tell you who he is and how he intends to help you. He can sense changes in temperature and will tell you if you are getting hotter or colder as you move around Runescape. Unlike the conventional hot or cold instructions however, you want to get colder rather than warmer. This is because Jack Frost emanates cold and so the area where he is will be freezing. Keep going until you are told that it’s very cold and that Jack must be close.

Alternatively you could take the easy option. There are 15 potential locations for Jack, where he is depends on your imp’s name.

Here is a list of all his prospective locationsand what imp it correlates with:

Once you reach the correct location you will see a small patch of ice and you will see Jack on it(only if wearing the amulet). Talk to him and he will try and freeze you and run away. The amulet will save you and your imp will teleport you after Jack. 

In the cave walk up to Jack and use any item on him. You will knock him unconcious. Then talk to the Snow Queen who will have appeared and there will be some dialouge and a cutscene. You will unfreeze Santa Claus and be given a Santa suit for your trouble (if you lose it you can get another from Diango in Draynor village). This is the end of the event.

Quest: Since you have already talked to explorer Jack you are all set to begin the quest. You have to go back to the Head Snow Imp and ask him to teleport you to the Land of Snow (the location of the precious stone Jack wants you to find). As long as you have no familiar out (you must send away your snow imp) he will teleport you and you can begin. (before you go make sure you have a hammer and chisel (if you are crafting lvl 30 or above) and an axe (if you are woodcutting lvl 80 or above).

In order to get to the stones you must navigate your way through an icy maze of sorts. This is difficult to explain so here is a video showing you exactly how to get through the caves:

On the way out of the cave there are 3 different markings on the walls, that, if examined will give you experience in agility, crafting and woodcutting. This is why you needed the axe and chisel and hammer. The respective rooms for agility, woodcutting and crafting are:

• second room: 2k crafting xp (lvl 30 crafting required)
• Third room: 10k agility xp (lvl 55 agilty rquired)
•  Fourth roomk :20k woodcutting in forth room (lvl 80 woodcutting required)

Now that you have the stones and have exited the caves you must go back to explorer Jack. The moment you exit the caves you will meet some snow imps though and they will tell you that the stones are actually yeti dung and they were tricking Explorer Jack. They enchant the stones for you so you can teleport away to lumbridge with them. Give them to Jack and either play along with the trick or tell the truth, it doesn’t matter. You will get a 500xp lamp for any stat. Now log off and on again and talk to Jack. He will give you 5k he got from selling the dung to a witch!

 This is the quest over. So have fun
