This should only take about 20 minutes to complete. When you’ve finished, your character will be transported to the rustic town of Lumbridge where your RuneScape adventures will truly begin!

You will then be presented with a character design page, as shown on the left:
You should use the arrows on the screen to change each option until you are happy with your character’s appearance. There are features in the game that will allow you to re-design your character, although you will have to pay some RuneScape currency to make any changes!
Once you have finished you should click the ‘Accept’ button which will launch your character into our Tutorial Island, where the friendly citizens of RuneScape are looking forward to greeting you.

You will be asked ‘Do you want to install and run RuneScape?’
You should check the box that appears next to ‘Always trust content from Jagex Ltd’ and then click ‘Yes’.
When the game has loaded you will be presented with the title screen. Enter the username and password you chose when you created your account and click ‘Login’.
This incredible update features over 20 rooms, 330 pieces of furniture, 11 new NPCs, 12 dungeon monsters, craftable toys, new armour and shields, trophy rooms, tool racks, different architectural styles, butlers and a whole host of new games to play with your house guests!
Basic houses, rooms and furniture are priced cheaply enough so that most members will be able to afford somewhere to live. We have also made lots of features for our more opulent players to be able to show off their wealth. If you get your construction level high enough and you’re rich enough you can build an entire dungeon to challenge your friends, you might even be able to add your own dragon to it! Or how about a throne room? - with a throne of crystal!
Fancy a change of scene? As you go up levels your house can be rebuilt in completely different designs ranging from the Rimmington “Shack” look, the Rellekkan Longhall and the Brimhaven Beach-house.
To start you must buy a small house from any of the estate agents in Seers’ Village (north-east of the bank), Falador (between the furnace and the east bank), Ardougne (west of the eastern bank) or Varrock (east of the castle).
A full guide to the skill can be found in the Knowledge Base. Open the door to your new “home from home” today!
Note - we were originally going to call this skill “Carpentry”, but the range of activities involved in the skill soon got much bigger than that title, so we widened it to “Construction”.
Please be aware that the Tears of Guthix will not give Construction xp for a while. The god Guthix, in his immortal wisdom, does not wish to pry into your home so soon.
Those brave enough to once again step in between these raging monarchs will be rewarded with a generous helping of Agility, Slayer and Hitpoints XP. In addition to that, they can also call on the services of Etcetaria to join in with collecting resources for them, this time providing farming seeds, mahogany and teak.
We’ve also improved the rewards from the first quest in the series (Throne of Miscellania). Players can now ask their subjects to collect flax as well, and each type of resource has its own bonus rewards if you tell enough of your subjects to work hard at it. Your subjects will also collect more resources than before for the same amount of money and time!
Read more about it in our Knowledge Base article about Managing Miscellania.
Our new QuestHelp system will be updated with hints for Royal Trouble tomorrow.
Pinball
The mysterious old man has built himself a strange device he calls a pinball table, although he has unusual ideas about what pinball actually is. It’s one enormous table where trolls stand guard with clubs as the flippers! Naturally he’s keen to whisk away players to get involved, this time to be used as the balls!
In this random event the player must run around a giant pinball table tagging ten poles. You can’t tag any old poles, though, only the ones with rings around them. If you tag the wrong pole your score goes back to zero and you have to start again.
Grab The Evil Twin
Molly has always had difficulty with her twin sister, probably because her twin is an evil twin. Continuing in the amusement arcade theme from the pinball event, she’s rigged up a giant claw to try and catch her sister and drop her in a cage, she just needs you to operate the controls.
The only problem is that Molly’s twin managed to bring four innocent citizens with her. Simply move the claw around using the control panel until the red target is on the girl that looks just like Molly, then hit the ‘Grab’ button to hoist her into the air and dump her in the cage.
See the Random Events article in our Knowledge Base for more details on both of these events.
In response to feedback from players, we have slightly weakened some of the attacking monsters. Furthermore, successful players will find that they can now accumulate up to 250 Void Knight Commendation Points rather than being stopped when they reach 15. This is to give you the opportunity to save up points to buy exciting new rewards that will be released soon.
Down in the Kharidian desert, Slayers will also find that the desert lizards have had a slight change too. The smaller varieties of desert lizard now have the same Slayer level requirement as the adult desert lizards did, and they can now only be killed with the aid of icy water, available from your local Slayer Master.
