Events
Events are time-limited, and all of them run alongside your normal play: quest events, Carnivals, travelling merchants, exchange events and short bonus events.
Quest events
A quest event is a set of quest chains with its own map and a fixed window. The chains unlock in order, and they count progress from what you do anyway.
| Event | Chains | Quests | Gems | Ran |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Grand Survey | 3 | 30 | 300 | Oct 22, 2026 to Oct 29, 2026 |
| The Beastmaster's Trials | 8 | 116 | 240 | Jul 24, 2026 to Aug 7, 2026 |
| The Grand Distillation | 10 | 100 | 250 | Aug 17, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026 |
| The Grandmaster's Ascent | 1 | 10 | 5,000 | Sep 4, 2026 to Sep 25, 2026 |
| The Elemental Apprenticeship | 3 | 30 | 200 | Not scheduled |
| The Amber Road | 8 | 96 | 600 | Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 10, 2026 |
Events with a painted map are listed on the Maps page. Event quest pages carry an Event banner.
Carnivals
A Carnival is a community goal. Every player feeds one shared counter through the activity the Carnival is about. Each shared tier the community reaches pays every player who has reached the first personal tier, and your own contribution climbs a personal reward ladder. A prize stall sells event items while it runs.
| Carnival | Ran | Personal tiers | Community tiers |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Runecrafting Carnival | Jul 30, 2026 to Aug 15, 2026 | 10 | 10 |
| The Beastmasters' Fair | Aug 29, 2026 to Sep 5, 2026 | 10 | 10 |
Travelling merchants
A travelling merchant opens a stall for a few days. While one is in town, its shop is a tab in the Shop. Some items cost gold and some cost gems, as listed below.
- Buy limits count per visit. A limit of 1 means one each time the merchant comes. The count starts again on the next visit.
- Visits open at 15:00 UTC and last about four days. The merchant comes back every few weeks.
- When the stall closes, its tab disappears. Anything you bought stays in your bank.

Exchange events
In an exchange event you deliver things you gathered or made, and get Market Tokens for them to spend in the event shop. The last one was The Night Market, Oct 9, 2026 to Oct 17, 2026, open from total level 100.
- Orders. 6 orders are posted when the event opens, then one more every 2 hours. Each stays open for 24 hours and pays 10 Market Tokens. You pick which ones to fill, from your bank.
- What they ask for comes from
Woodcutting, 
Fishing, 
Mining, 
Cooking, 
Smithing, 
Runecrafting. An order is sized to about this much play at your total level:
| Total level | Order size |
|---|---|
| 100+ | about 30 minutes |
| 500+ | about 45 minutes |
| 750+ | about 60 minutes |
| 1,000+ | about 90 minutes |
| 1,500+ | about 120 minutes |
