Minigames

The RuneScape Wiki also has an article on: rsw:Minigames

Minigames are small games in which players (or a team of players) set out to complete a certain objective. These games sometimes allow players to gain experience and items. They are identified with a red star icon on the world map. Minigames can be repeated, unlike quests or miniquests which can only be completed once. There are four free to play minigames: Castle Wars, Clan Wars, Duel Arena, and Last Man Standing.

Grouping interface

The Grouping interface.

Main article: Grouping

The Grouping interface can be found under the chat-channel tab. Select the desired minigame from the drop down menu and players will be entered into a chat channel to help you find other players. Players cannot be in two chat channels at the same time, so joining the minigame chat channel will automatically remove you from any channel you were previously in.

The Grouping interface can also teleport you to the minigames location (provided you meet the requirements to access it). This teleport does not use the same cooldown timer (20 minutes) as the home teleport spell and cannot be cast from PVP worlds, the Wilderness, or the Duel Arena.

Minigames

Minigames are classified as either Safe or Dangerous depending on whether items are or are not kept on death, or are moved to a grave or IRS.

Safe

There are two types of safe minigame: safe combat and no combat. Minigames with safe combat will see players fight monsters or other players, and if/when they die, they will respawn in a designated area in the minigame with all their items. Minigames with no combat have no monsters or player-versus-player areas, so players cannot be killed - however, if players are poisoned outside the minigame area, and then do not cure themselves when entering the area, they can still die from the poison. The latter can be a problem if the minigame is instanced and you've manually dropped items on the floor.

Dangerous

Items will be moved to a grave or IRS upon death. Regular death mechanics will apply. You will have 15 minutes to get your items back from a grave after which they will be transferred to Death's Office. To get your items back you will have to pay a fee, but ironmen get a 50% discount. Dangerous deaths also imply Hardcore ironmen lose their status.

Player versus player/monster
