The '''2012 Winter event''' is a sequel to the [[2011 Winter event]] in which players have to kill both [[Hati]] and [[Sköll]] as well. You can begin the '''2012 Winter event''' by talking to the [[Fremennik citizen (Hati)|Fremennik citizen]] outside the gates of [[Rellekka]]. The event was released on [[16 January]] [[2012]] and ended early-February.

Upon completing the event (killing both Hati and Sköll) players will have the opportunity to obtain [[Hati paws]], [[Hati head]], [[Hati Cloak]] and [[Sköll boots]]. Although, there is only an 80% chance of each drop (except the boots, which have a 60% chance drop rate) so you might have to kill Hati or Sköll more than once to obtain every reward.

==Starting the Hunt==
To start both parts of this event, talk to the [[Fremennik citizen (Hati)|Fremennik citizen]] outside of the [[Rellekka]] gates. She says [[Hati]] and [[Sköll]] are scaring everybody in the Fremennik lands. According to her [[Hati]] makes the lands very cold in the winter, and his brother [[Sköll]] makes the lands burning hot in the summer. Their goal is to consume the moon and the sun, respectively. They can't be reasoned with, so the [[Fremennik citizen (Hati)|citizen]] asks you to help fight them both.

==Hati==

[[File:Fighting_Hati.png|thumb|left|Players fighting Hati.]]
After talking to the [[Fremennik citizen (Hati)|citizen]] infront of [[Rellekka]] you can now search for and kill [[Hati]]. He has three spawn points to the east of [[Rellekka]] which are scattered from the north to the south of the area. It won't be hard to find any of these spawn points for [[Hati]] as there will likely be many players waiting at each spawn point to kill him.

The best tactic towards finding [[Hati]] is to stay in a single spawn location and wait until [[Hati]] spawns there. It is not recommended to run to another spawn when told that he has spawned, as the large amount of players there will probably have already killed him.

After being killed, [[Hati]] will re-spawn several minutes in another one of his three spawn points. He will be slain fairly quickly so make sure you attack him as soon as possible to make sure you have a chance at getting a reward.

[[Hati]] is a level 654 wolf. He will always drop [[wolf bones]], and has an 80% chance of dropping each piece of clothing ([[Hati paws]], [[Hati head]] and [[Hati Cloak]]). As long as you do 1 [[life point]] of damage you have the same chance of receiving the drop as everybody else.

==Sköll==
[[File:SkollHits.png|thumb|right|Players fighting Sköll.]]
[[Sköll]] spawns to the west of [[Rellekka]] and only has a single spawn location. To begin this part of the event you will need to talk to [[Vitharr]] who is located at the shore to the west of [[Rellekka]], after having spoke to the [[Fremennik citizen (Hati)|Fremennik citizen]].

She wishes to summon Sköll when he is at his weakest in order to defeat him and rid the [[Fremennik]] of his threat for good. By doing so, she hopes to show the wolf brothers that the [[Fremennik]] cannot be bested at any time of year, thus deterring the brothers from attacking the citizens. To summon [[Sköll]], [[Vitharr]] advises the player to build a [[Bonfire (2012 Winter Event)|bonfire]] as intense as the sun, so that Sköll is drawn to the realm to investigate.

Venture around this area and cut as many trees as you can to collect wood. It doesn't matter what kind of trees you cut as any logs will work. Once you have as much wood as possible go back and add it to the fire. When the fire is at it's biggest, [[Sköll]] will spawn.

[[Sköll]] is a level 672 wolf. He will always drop wolf bones, and has an 60% chance of dropping [[Sköll boots]] as well. As long as you do 1 hit point of damage you have the same chance of receiving the drop as everybody else. Make sure you attack [[Sköll]] as quickly as possible as you will be surprised at how quickly so many players can kill him. World 2 will usually have a lot of people waiting to kill Sköll.

==Wolf Packs==

[[File:Wolf_attack_at_varrock_bank.png|right|thumb|Fenris wolves spawned by a Jagex Moderator.]]

During the '''2012 Winter event''', Jagex Moderators had the ability to randomly spawn packs of [[Fenris wolf|Fenris wolves]] around RuneScape. These wolves were mainly level 70, but have been occasionally seen as level 64. The [[Fenris wolf|Fenris wolves]] will always drop [[Wolf bones]] and [[Fenris wolf pelt]], but also have a rare chance of dropping [[Charms]] and [[Starved ancient effigy|Starved ancient effigies]]. The main place you will find Jagex Moderator's spawning [[Fenris wolf|Fenris wolves]] is around the [[Grand Exchange]] in [[Varrock]].

==Rewards==
[[File:Hati clothing equipped.png|thumb|right|Full Hati & Sköll Costume]]
*[[Hati head]] - This item is purely cosmetic.
*[[Hati paws]] - Will provide double experience in all combat skills (excluding [[Summoning]] and [[Prayer]]) for a set amount of XP gain, based on your skill levels. If you already have a pair you will receive a recharge instead.
*[[Hati Cloak]] - Recharges the Hati paws if obtained in 2011.
*[[Sköll boots]] - Will provide double experience in both [[Woodcutting]] and [[Agility]] for a set amount of XP gain, based on your skill levels.

'''NOTE:''' The charges on both the [[Hati paws]] and [[Sköll boots]] will only last until 16 May 2012, as stated in the [http://services.runescape.com/m=news/g=runescape/hati--skoll official update]. After that they become purely cosmetic.

==Trivia==
*In [[wikipedia:Norse mythology|Norse mythology]] Hati and Sköll are two wolves who are trying to devour the moon and sun (respective to each wolf). This same theme is continued in RuneScape as the [[Fremennik]] are heavily based around the real-world [[wikipedia:Norsemen|Norsemen]].
*In [[wikipedia:Norse mythology|Norse mythology]], [[wikipedia:Vidar|Vidarr]] is the god who slays [[wikipedia:Fenrir|Fenrir]], father of [[wikipedia:Hati|Hati]] and [[wikipedia:Sköll|Sköll]], at the end of time.
*It's possible to lure [[Hati]] to far away places like [[Catherby]]. However, a hidden update made [[Hati]] teleport back to its original spawn point should it become stuck, making it more difficult to lure [[Hati]] to far off places.
*There was a bug where [[Hati]] could spawn multiple times.
*If you lose these items through dying you can get replacements from [[Diango]], and they will retain the charge which was previously held before dying.
