'''Festival of the Dead''' is a temporary member's only [[Holiday event]] released on 2 October 2012 (not to be confused with the 2012 [[Halloween event]]). The event is centered around celebrating the lives of deceased [[NPC]]s, and bringing them back to life for the celebration. This event is only available for members.

During this event you may choose to celebrate the lives of up to 5 different deceased NPCs from the game.[[File:Coffin_(Festival_of_the_Dead).png|thumb|The decorated coffin.]]

Participating in this event will earn your character a [[Skull mask]] and up to a total of 251K bonus [[Prayer]] XP (depending on how many of the tasks are completed) which are awarded as double the XP received while training Prayer in the following activities (per Jagex):
*Using [[Ectofunctus]] (the bonus stacks with the Ectofuntus multiplier).
*Using [[Player-owned house]] altars (the bonus stacks with the Altar multiplier).
*Killing [[ghast]]s.
*Burying [[bones]], including when using a [[bonecrusher]].
*Scattering ashes, including teleporting completed [[prayer urns]].
*Cremating [[shades]] and/or [[vyrewatch]].

Bonus XP awarded from this activity does not expire until used.

The Bonus Xp does '''NOT''' stack with [[Bonus Xp Weekend]].

Players can participate in this event by speaking to [[Father Joakim]], who is located next to a large coffin in two locations: south of the [[Lumbridge Cemetery]] and behind the church south-east of [[Burthorpe]]. There is no difference in gameplay between the two locations.

This event is made up of five celebrations, each requiring a higher prayer level and the completion of more quests than the last.

==Tasks==
If you choose to complete multiple tasks, you may do them in any order desired. However, you may only have one task active at a time, and while that task is active, the items for other tasks will ''not'' be available (although you may make all the [[Clay skull]]s at once and have them in your inventory). Tasks already completed are marked with a green checkmark. You may also repeat tasks, but no additional XP awards are earned. If you attempt to be assigned a task which you have already completed, [[Father Joakim]] will give you the opportunity to either proceed or cancel the duplicate task.

There are four steps for each task:

#Speak to [[Father Joakim]], who will assign an item relating to the dead person whose life is being celebrated. You must go to the location of the item and return with it.
#You must retrieve a set of decorative "[[Flowers of the dead]]" from the crate next to the coffin.
#You must create 3 [[Clay skull]]s from soft clay (if asked, [[Father Joakim]] will give you the first 3 soft clay, but you must supply any further for additional tasks). Creating skulls gives 10 Crafting experience.
#Click on the coffin or speak to [[Father Joakim]] with the above items in your inventory, and a dialogue and cutscene will follow, eventually awarding you with the bonus Prayer XP. Dialogue choices given do not make a difference in the final outcome of the cutscene(s).

'''Note: The individual items for each NPC can not be obtained prior to starting each tribute; they must be gathered individually upon starting each event. '''

In addition to the bonus Prayer XP, players also receive a [[Skull mask]] after the completion of any one of these tasks, assuming they do not already own one. If destroyed, it may be retrieved from [[Diango]] in [[Draynor Village]]. It can also be stored in a [[Toy box]] in a [[Player Owned House]]. Clay skulls or additional flowers of the dead, while obtainable from the crate at any time during the event, may not be banked, stored, or traded.

==Trivia==
*The teaser picture shows the event in [[Burthorpe]], east of the Altar of Guthix.
*The NPC [[Cow1337killr]] that appears during the Fight Pit Warriors cutscene is previously seen in the quest [[Animal Magnetism]].
*The event coincides with the real-world [[Wikipedia:Festival of the Dead|Festival of the Dead]].
*If you killed [[Caitlin]] and [[Kayle]] in the quest [[The Blood Pact]], they do not appear when you celebrate the death of [[Reese]]. Instead, you get dialogue choosing whether you are glad you killed them, or if you regret killing them.
*In an unannounced update, the Festival of the Dead area and Father Joakim were removed from their other location in Burthorpe (near the church in South-East Burthorpe). He still resides near Lumbridge Cemetery towards the Lumbridge Swamp.
