The Ire of Phyrrys Festival was a forum community event done in order to celebrate the longest month in the Gielinor calendar. Jagex ran several days of events between 22-25 September 2010. The event was hosted on the RuneScape Official Forums by the Finnish, Polish and English communities. It was run by Mods Karolina and Hiisi from Community Management.

Culinary expedition to Tree Gnome Stronghold.[]

This event was hosted on Wednesday 22 September 2010. The activities hosted on this day included a friendly competition to see who was master of Gnomish cuisine, including a competition to see who could cook the most dishes and who was the true master of cocktails. Players also did rounds of the Gnome agility course and attacked an evil tree spawned in Draynor. The day was ended with a nice and relaxing little meal gathering at Gianne’s Restaurant.

A grand expedition from Lumbridge to Al Kharid[]

This event was hosted on Thursday 23 September 2010. The event started with player meeting at Lumbridge Castle who made their way to the Duel Arena, west of Al Kharid. The activities in Al Kharid included duelling in the arena, kebab tasting and a drinking in the local pubs. Jagex advised players to bring their desert kit and bring water as they crossed were crossing the desert. It was rumoured the elusive JMods were keen on hide & seek and would be like mirages and just disappear into the desert so Jagex told players to keep a sharp eye out for any irregularities.

Woodcutting extravaganza[]

This event was hosted on Friday 24 September. The woodcutting extravaganza took place in Edgeville. Jagex, along with the help of players, tried to "1-up the good ole mother nature" by trying to take a screenshot of an entirely cut wood area with just stumps left.

The day was finished with a march to the Clan Wars arena where the lumberjacks were pitted against each other in a traditional Clan Wars match. The first match was won by Mod Hiisi with the score being 195 - 190. Shortly after, due to requests by the players, a re-match shortly followed which Mod Karolina won with a score of 185 - 178.

The Grand Finale[]

The Grand Finale of the Ire of Phyrrys Festival was kicked off with a line of fire from Lumbridge to Varrock. Once the line of fire got to Varrock square, Jagex opened a firemaking pattern competition by the Cooks' Guild where players got to show off creative skills. All patterns had to be able to fit into a single screen. The winner was featured on RuneScape social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). with a grand firemaking show in which Jagex and players attempted to represent their communities with a few well placed fires. There was also meant to be a cabbage bomb fight on World 2 at the Grand Exchange, but it happened on world 19, to allow non-members to participate. There was an "After Party" on world 102 at the Falador Party Room. After the event was crashed, Mod Karolina sent the people in her friend's chat to Mudskipper Point on world 19, in which players got to ask questions about the game as well as give suggestions. The event and the week of events was finished off when Mod Karolina left around 18:40 UTC thus bringing the Ire of Phyrrys festival to an end.
