World BossEvery 4 hours
Vote BossEvery 40 votes

OSRS combat, done right

Weapon styles, attack speeds, max hits and boss stats match OSRS. Zulrah, Vorkath, Cerberus, the Fight Caves and the Inferno fight the way you remember.

Kova's faster pace

Fast XP rates (or a 5x Rogue mode), stacking boosts and quality of life everywhere: bank presets, teleport favourites and two AFK islands.

Custom content

Custom bosses like the Star-forged Titan, the Seraph Herald and the Blood Beast, an Arcane Crystal economy and zones built only for Kova.

Events all day

World Boss, Vote Boss, Wilderness Boss, Shooting Stars, Outlast, the Well of Goodwill and the Ruby Boss, all with live countdowns in-game.

Live on Kova

Something is always happening

Every event runs on its own timer, several can run at once and they survive restarts. Type ::events in-game and click a running event to teleport to it.

World Boss

Six times a day, every 4 hours (UTC)

The Star-forged Titan crashes into the Global Boss Hub. 30 minutes to bring it down.

Vote Boss

After every 40 votes server-wide

The Seraph Herald descends for everyone who voted in the last 12 hours.

Shooting Star

Every 60 to 120 minutes

A star hits the home Beacon, and a riskier crystal lands in the Wilderness.

Wilderness Boss

90 minutes after the last one ends

Seren and The Unbearable take turns at five Wilderness spots.

Outlast

2 hours after the last one ends

Last player standing wins. The lobby is called off if it never fills.

Well of Goodwill

Fill a pot for a 1-hour boost for everyone

Four pots: +50% XP, +5 Pest Control points, +25% drop rate and +25% star crystals.

Live event data is not available here, so these are the default schedules.
