Zodiac Festival is a 14 day time-limited event. In this event, the players may gather zodiac talismans for Yinteng, found north of the Lumbridge Crater.

Zodiac talismans can be obtained by completing daily tasks given by the event or through skilling.

Completing a daily task from the Challenge System also awards an additional amount of zodiac talismans.

Upon logging in during the event, the following announcement could be seen:

• Help Yinteng by collecting zodiac talismans and returning them to him north of Lumbridge Crater!

Event noticeboards and the event interface could be used to teleport to Yinteng for the duration of the event.

When you complete a daily task, the following message is displayed in the chatbox.

• Congratulations! You have completed the <task> for the Zodiac Festival.
