Old School RuneScapecelebrates major holidays throughout the year with special events. These are usually funOSRSquests, which offer cosmetic rewards based on that holiday.
It gives you something fun to look forward to throughout the year. Some of these events are an annual tradition, while others haven’t appeared in ages. Let’s rank the items received from these holiday events, shall we?
Valentine’s Day
The Valentine’s Day event was held for the first and last time in 2014, making this a simple ranking. There’s just one item!
The box of chocolate strawberries was a cool reward, but it was removed from the game a while ago to prevent the creation of a discontinued tradeable item, much like party hats in the originalRuneScape.
Birthday
OSRSlaunched on July 11, 2025; each year, it marks the occasion with big birthday celebrations. Jagex goes all out with these creations, adding some of the most unique items inOld School RuneScape.
Luckily, each birthday event gives all the rewards from previous years. This means you can still obtain the earliest birthday rewards, even if you’re a newOSRSplayer.
April Fools
Jagex used to hold April Fools’ events yearly, but they didn’t always feature a unique reward. 2015 and 2016 were the only years for this, although all items can be bought from Diango in Draynor if you didn’t play back in the day.
Will April Fools’ holiday events ever come back? Maybe, but they haven’t been seen since 2020, so don’t hold your breath.
Easter
Who doesn’t love Easter? It’s an excuse to eat mountains of chocolate and not feel awful about it, and it’s no different withOld School RuneScape‘s Easter events.
Easter events over the last few years haven’t had quite as interesting rewards as the game’s early days. Let’s hope Jagex can improve in the future.
Pride
Old School RuneScapePride events were first held in 2017, before disappearing and making a return from 2022 onwards. These celebrations of LGBTQIA+ inclusivity are some of the most colorful clothing options inOSRS, making them great for fashionscapers.
Pride events are aptly held throughout Pride month in June annually, although Jagex occasionally extends this into July, giving players a chance to claim those sweet rainbow rewards.
Midsummer
Between 2013 and 2017, Jagex celebrated midsummer towards the end of June with typically small holiday events. These rewards weren’t the most popular in the game, but there are a few interesting items that fashionscapers could use as part of a cool outfit.
There hasn’t been a midsummer event inOSRSsince 2017, so all cosmetic holiday rewards are available for purchase from Diango in Draynor for a single coin nowadays.
Halloween
The yearly arrival of spooky season also brings a newOSRSholiday event. This has been a tradition ever since the earliest days of the originalRuneScape, and it’s showing no signs of stopping.
With decades of Halloween iconography to pull from, Jagex should have no problem keeping its spooky rewards interesting for years to come.
Christmas
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Jagex puts on an annual show for the holiday season with epic Christmas events. Get your festive items as December rolls around.
You knew partyhats would be number one, didn’t you? They’re the OGRuneScaperares, with players spending hundreds of millions on them in the original game. Luckily, they don’t cost nearly as much inOSRS.
