Time-limited events

Time-limited events, also known as TLEs, are a type of event that occur in RuneScape for a limited period of time. In contrast to other types of events, time-limited events do not usually feature new content or miniquests, instead they require players to collect event currency or complete tasks to unlock various cosmetics and prizes.

Daily limits

Time-limited events initially had limits to the amount of event currency that could be obtained each day. These limits could be extended using one of the following, obtained using RuneCoins:

• Event daily limit extender (1-day)
• Event daily limit extender (5-day)

However, daily limits were removed shortly after the Aiding the Exile event started due to criticism from players. There have not been any time-limited events with a daily limit since then.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• hotfix 30 January 2017 (Update):
  • Players will now receive an appropriate message when attempting to buy event currency & extenders after the event has ended.
