Test Perks
Minigames are small games in which players (or a team of players) set out to complete a certain objective. These games usually allow players to gain experience and/or items. They are identified with a red star File:Minigame map icon.png icon on the world map. Minigames can be repeated, unlike quests or miniquests which can only be completed once. There are four free-to-play minigames, which are all notably PvP minigames: Emir's Arena, Clan Wars, Castle Wars, and Last Man Standing.
Grouping interface
The Grouping interface can be found under the chat-channel tab. Select the desired minigame from the drop down menu and players will be entered into a chat channel to help you find other players. Players cannot be in two chat channels at the same time, so joining the minigame chat channel will automatically remove you from any channel you were previously in.
The Grouping interface can also teleport you to the minigames location (provided you meet the requirements to access it). This teleport does not use the same cooldown timer (20 minutes) as the home teleport spell and cannot be cast from PvP worlds, the Wilderness, or Emir's Arena.
Minigames
Minigames fit into one of the following classifications.
Non-combat
Non-combat minigames do not involve the player taking damage or risking death as a part of the minigame itself. This means that players won't experience a death without external circumstances, like entering the area while poisoned.
Safe
Minigames with safe combat will see players fight monsters or other players, and if/when they die, they will respawn in a designated area in the minigame with all their items. Warning: Hardcore Group Ironmen will always lose hardcore status in PvM activities labelled as safe deaths.
Dangerous
Items will be moved to a grave or Item Retrieval Service upon death. Regular death mechanics will apply. You will have 15 minutes to get your items back from a grave after which they will be transferred to Death's Office. To get your items back you will have to pay a fee, but ironmen get a 50% discount. Dangerous deaths also imply Hardcore ironmen lose their status.
Combat minigames
These minigames involve the use of combat skills to fight players or monsters.
