Redeem a Bond to summon a portable trader

Game Version:  RS_Rune_final.png

From April 23rd to May 26th you will be able to exchange a Bond to summon your very own Portable Trader, like the current Vic the Trader, to spend your hard-earned Bonus XP.

At this time, this is not a permanent addition to the game, but may be re-introduced permanently if it proves popular. This does not impact the usual occurrence of Vic the Trader.

How does this work?

Once activated, the Portable Trader remains available for 1 hour – and if you leave the game this timer is paused. Should you lose sight of your Trader, he can be re-summoned using the same Stone. The Portable Trader can be accessed an unlimited number of times while active. You can buy multiple stones, and they remain available to you even after the promotion ends.
