Community events, including competitions, allow players to engage in a variety of activities with each other. Depending on the event, rewards may be available including in-game items and experience or real-life prizes.
Jagex Clan Cup[]
The Jagex Clan Cup is an annual competition hosted by Jagex, and occasionally players on their behalf, that brings clans together to battle it out in a series of challenges.
Winners of the most recent Clan Cup are added to the Clan Cup plaque in-game, and may also receive additional awards such as custom logos in clan citadels and on clan vexillums. In recent years, rewards have also included bonds and signed artwork.
