Joining & playing an event

Any player with a claimed OSRS account can take part in their clan's events. Here's how to get in and make sure your effort counts.

Before you join

Sign in with Discord. You'll need at least one claimed OSRS account — that's how an event knows which in-game character is you.
Turn on API connections in the plugin. In the RuneLite plugin settings, enable Use API Connections. This is what lets your drops and achievements reach DropTracker and count toward tasks.

Without "Use API Connections", your progress will not count. If your completions aren't registering, check this setting first.

Joining

Open the events list or find the event on your group's page, then press Join. What happens next depends on how the organiser set the event up:

Pick your team — you choose which team to join. Some events require a join code from your clan first.
Auto-assigned — you're placed on the smallest team automatically to keep things balanced.
Sign-up pool — you sign up now, and an admin sorts everyone into teams before the event starts.
Admin-assigned — an admin adds you to a team; there's no self sign-up.

Your clan may also post a Sign up button in Discord — clicking it adds you to the pool without leaving the server.

While the event runs

The event page updates in real time. You'll see the board or task list with your team's progress, the team standings, and a live feed of completions as they land.

Most tasks complete on their own the moment a qualifying drop, kill, personal best, or level-up is tracked for you. Tasks the organiser marked needs review wait for an admin to confirm them, and a few types (like EHP/EHB or custom goals) are awarded by an admin by hand.

What counts toward a task

Different task types are credited from different things you do in-game:

Task	Completed by
Item collection	Drops and collection-log entries for the listed item(s)
Kill count	Tracked kills of the target boss/NPC
Personal best	A tracked personal best that beats the time limit
XP / Skill level	XP gained, or a level reached, during the event
Loot value	GP from drops (optionally only from certain NPCs)
EHP / EHB / Custom	Awarded manually by an admin

Only progress made after you join a team counts. If an admin moves you to a different team mid-event, your credit starts fresh on the new team — so choose carefully.

Troubleshooting

Nothing is counting. Confirm Use API Connections is on, and that the relevant category (drops, collection log, etc.) is enabled in the plugin.
A completion is stuck "pending". That task needs admin review — it'll count once an organiser confirms it.
You joined the wrong team. Ask an admin to move you (this resets your credit on the new team).
