[[Maggie]], a travelling witch, has come to southern [[Asgarnia]] for the holiday festivities, but she's in a bit of a spot. She needs an enchanted broom to finish her potion but her ox has a cold and can't be left alone. In [[Swept Away]], you'll need to visit several nearby witches on Maggie's behalf – and solve a few puzzles along the way.

While you're in the neighbourhood, why not try out the Holiday Event: a bit of trick-or-treating in [[Draynor Village|Draynor]], [[Rimmington]] and [[Port Sarim]]. The towns are decked out in holiday décor and the villagers have treats to distribute to those wearing a suitable costume. If you're interested in some holiday garb, have a chat with [[Maggie]]: she's on the look-out for someone who can do a bit of trick-or-treating on her behalf.

[[Swept Away]] can be started by talking to [[Maggie]], who is located south of [[Falador]] and east of the [[Crafting Guild]]. The quest will be available to all players for two weeks; after this time, it will only be available to members. The Hallowe'en decorations and trick-or-treating will only be available during the same holiday period. Any treats remaining in your bank or inventory after this time will disappear after Hallowe'en.

A large number of sound effects and changes to sound effects have been added, especially to capes and the [[Skillcape (emote)|skillcape emotes]].

Human animations have been extensively modified to stop players appearing to glide around. You should also notice less 'clipping' with items like capes and armour when performing various actions or using emotes.

When you're dismissing a [[Summoning familiars|familiar]], you can now right-click on the 'Dismiss' button. This will let you skip the confirmation screen, making it easier to dismiss the [[Summoning familiars|familiar]] during combat.

[[Fairy ring]]s now have a larger clickable area. Previously, it was quite small and potentially difficult to click on, so we've enlarged it to make your journeys quicker.

Adding items to fill up [[Compost Bin|compost bins]] should now be considerably easier. When you've used one item on the bin, your character will automatically attempt to put any further items of that type into the bin, saving you a bit of clicking.

[[Metarialus]] and [[Blandebir]] (the brewing chaps in [[Port Phasmatys]] and [[Keldagrim]]) will now offer to fill all your pots with [[Ale yeast|yeast]] at once rather than making you go through their conversation for each pot. Using one [[beer glass]] on a barrel of freshly brewed beer will also make your character attempt to fill all their beer glasses without any additional clicking, and there's a newly installed [[water source]] in the brewery at [[Port Phasmatys]].

[[Bounty Hunter]] Combat levels have been updated to reflect recent Combat level changes. The crater entrance requirements are now: 3-55, 50-100 and 95+ (all without [[Summoning]]).

[[Dragon dagger(p++)|Dragon dagger p++]] should now be easier to find on the [[Grand Exchange]]. We've also taken the opportunity to change some adamant items to use "addy" at the start. This is only for the super poisoned items, namely [[Addy arrow(p++)|arrows]], [[Addy dagger(p++)|daggers]] and [[Addy spear(p++)|spears]].

[[Quick Chat|QuickChat]] has now been given a predictive search feature to allow you to find the phrases you want more effectively.

A distant rumble has recently been heard just north of [[Baxtorian Falls|Baxtorian Waterfall]]...
