Random Events

Whilst playing RuneScape you may notice the occasional strange event happening near you. These events can happen at anytime at any place. Some are potentially harmful, whilst others can be of benefit to you. If you keep your wits about you then you may well profit from these events and come off better because of them, but if you're not paying attention then beware!

Guardians

Some places are protected by guardians whom you may encounter on your travels. They are usually quite powerful and often your best option will be to run away, as they won't pursue you for very long. If you feel you're up to the challenge though, you can try and defeat them, collecting the items they may drop.

Golem While mining you may disturb the sleep of one of these rocky giants. They're tough but fairly slow and barely intelligent. Its combat level varies according to your own.

Gift Givers

It's always nice to receive a gift, and some random events in RuneScape will benefit you if you take advantage of them.

Certers Following their retirement from the "certing" business, Niles, Miles & Giles have been seen wandering around chatting to passing players. Talk to them and they might reward you, if not, they'll try to convert items from your inventory into banknotes!			Drill Demon A demonic army is forming, and you've been drafted!

Freaky Forester This strange man may teleport you to a clearing in some distant forest to help him kill the pheasant of his choice. If you bring him the carcass of the correct pheasant, he may reward you with some of his uniquely rustic clothes.
Frog Throughout the ages, many tales have been told about princes and princesses cruelly transformed into frogs. Traditionally, a simple kiss would restore their true form. So if a small army of frogs comes to you, be prepared to smooch their leader...pucker up!			Genie For some reason a Genie may feel compelled to grant you a wish and advance one of your skills. They're fickle creatures and will teleport you if you choose not to accept their offer.
Highwayman Rick Turpentine, the notorious highwayman, wishes to atone for his life of crime by giving out free valuables. But if you ignore his generous offer, he will revert back to his old habits and attack you whilst stealing your gold pieces!

Talk to him quickly, or else he'll transform, and you'll have to face the fearsome Mr Hyde...

Find the centre and you'll be released along with a reward, the quicker you manage it the bigger your reward!
Mime There's a mystical theatre hidden away to which you may get teleported. All you have to do is follow the Mime's performance and you'll be released along with a reward. If you have all the rewards already, you will receive gold pieces instead.			Mysterious Old Man This Mysterious Old Man may visit you to give you a 'Strange Box' or reward you with a gift. He is also known to teleport unsuspecting players to a maze or even away to interact with a mime artist!
Pirate's Combination Lock - (Members only) If you're lucky, a wandering pirate will discover buried treasure in a patch where you're growing crops! Help him get the lid off the chest, and he'll share the booty.			Quiz Master The host of the greatest quiz show in RuneScape, Odd One Out, may invite you to compete for its valuable prizes. You'll need to choose which of the items you're shown is the odd one out, and if you get enough questions right you'll be released with a reward. But should you choose the cash prize or the mystery box?!

The strange fruit picked from the plant will restore run energy and counteract the effects of poison when eaten.
Security Guard Security Guards wander the Stronghold of Security, looking for players whose recovery questions haven't been set.

Dangerous

There are some events which should just be avoided. Steer clear, and you won't have any problems.

Ent Some trees like to fight back, if a tree turns out to be an Ent then leave it well alone or your axe may get broken. Fortunately Bob can repair axes in Lumbridge, for a price of course.			Evil Chicken If you come under attack from this uniquely malignant fowl, be prepared for a tough fight. Or just run away...
Exploding Rock Sometimes there are dangerous gases in mining sites. Watch out that a spark from your pickaxe doesn't ignite it or it'll get damaged. Fortunately Nurmof can repair pickaxes in the Dwarven Mines, for a small fee.			Poison Gas - (Members only) Some chests are filled with Poisonous Gas to deter would-be thieves; just get clear of the area until it dissipates so you don't fall victim to it.
Swarm Swarms of insects can be dangerous and hard to disperse; it's best to run away until they leave you alone.			Whirlpool Whirlpools can suck your fishing equipment straight out of your hands.

Evil Bob

An enigmatic cat will come and drag you off to some warped plane of reality to serve as his slave. To begin you will need to speak to Evil Bob and ask him why he brought you to his island. He will tell you to catch him some fish as he is hungry.

You will need to grab a fishing net at a nearby spawn point and then speak to his slaves in order to find out how to get Evil Bob the fish that he likes so that he might fall asleep. The female servant will point you in the direction of a fishing spot that you should use your net with. Each fishing spot is marked with a different cat statue so you will have to pay attention.

[image]

Once you have caught a fish you will find that it is already cooked, Evil Bob will not accept this and you will have to use it on an 'uncooking pot' to uncook it.

You then need to use the fish with Evil Bob and if you caught it from the correct fishing spot he will find it delicious, if not he will be disgusted and will send you off to catch him another one.

[image]

After repeating this several times, Evil Bob will finally fall asleep which will be your chance to escape from the portal nearby. You will be teleported back to where you originally were and you will receive 650 fishing or magic experience depending on what skill you were training at the time.

The Beekeeper (Members only)

The flax fields south of the Seers' Village is a popular haunt for the many fletchers in RuneScape, but who has paused to spare a thought for the beekeepers in the next field over, whose hives are constantly in need of repair?

[image]

Sometimes, while working the flax field, you may find yourself approached by one of these white-clad gents. Their hives are notoriously difficult to assemble, so they occasionally need to enlist the help of an adventurer.

[image]

Your task is to assemble a beehive from its four parts. To do so, click on a section to stop it spinning. Then maneouvre it into position over the four segments in the screen by using the arrows at the bottom of the screen. When you've positioned a piece, move onto another and do the same until the beehive is complete. When you select another piece, the last segment you moved will start spinning again: don't worry, that's just what beehive parts do.

Once you have all the pieces in the correct places, hit the switch at the bottom of the screen to assemble it. If you've done it correctly, you'll be given some flax for your efforts and returned to where you were.

[image]

If you fail to assemble it correctly, though, the bees will escape and wreak a terrible revenge upon you! You will be forced to flee to a random body of water to escape their stings.

Grab The Evil Twin

Molly has always had difficulty with her twin, probably because her twin is an evil twin. Now, though, she's managed to teleport her twin home to imprison her. The only problem is that Molly's twin managed to bring four innocent citizens with her.

[image]

What she needs you for is to use your supple wrists and quick trigger finger to pull her sister out of the crowd and into a cage.

[image]

Simply move the claw around using the control panel until the red target is on the girl that looks just like Molly, then hit the 'Grab' button to hoist her into the air and dump her in the cage. Unfortunately, the claw only has enough magic to pick up two people, so if you don't manage to catch Molly's twin, Molly won't be pleased.

[image]

If you help Molly out she'll be so thrilled that she'll give you some gems, and then teleport you straight back to where you were. If you didn't manage to grab the evil twin, Molly will be very angry and teleport you to a random location.

Pinball

The Mysterious Old Man is up to his old tricks, and has devised a game for players to take part in: pinball!

[image]

In this game you must run around a giant pinball table tagging ten poles. You can't tag any old poles, though, only the ones with rings around them. If you tag the wrong pole your score goes back to zero and you have to start again.

[image]

If you try to leave the table before you've hit ten poles, the trolls guarding the exit - Flippa and Tilt - will whack you back into the game with their clubs, setting your score to zero at the same time. The Mysterious Old Man certainly knows how to make sure everyone has fun!

Once you've hit ten poles and you exit the pinball machine, you'll be teleported back where you came from and given some gems as a reward.

Gravedigger

Leo the short-sighted gravedigger has managed to mis-bury five coffins. He has a number of rewards for any player that can get the coffins in the correct order.

[image]

Leo has 5 graves in his graveyard, each of which contains a coffin. Unfortunately, Leo has misplaced which coffin belongs in which grave, and needs your help to sort out the situation.

[image]

Each coffin will need to be removed from the grave, if you do not have room in your inventory for this, there is a mausoleum behind Leo that you can use to store your items.
When you have the coffins, you should look in each of them, to see what it contains:

[image]

This coffin contains a skull, remains, an apron, ore and a pickaxe - which would symbolise that this coffin is that of someone who was a Miner.
To find out what grave the coffin belongs in, you should examine the headstones just above them. Each headstone shows an item that belonged to the person who's grave it is.

[image]

For example, this is a pickaxe, meaning the grave under this headstone is the Miners. Now you use the coffin belonging to the Miner with this grave. Continue this for the other people and when you have done them all, speak with Leo for him to check the positioning and let you go with your reward. You will receive items of Zombie clothing or unlock new Zombie emotes!

Pillory - (Members only)

Would-be thieves should be warned that the local law enforcement are cracking down on crime, so be careful! If caught, you could be sentenced to the Pillory where a local tramp and other players, that happen to be passing, will throw rotten tomatoes at you!

[image]

To get out you will need to click on the lock of your prison and select the unlock option. You will then have to choose the swinging key at the bottom of the screen that matches the shaped hole in the large grey spinning lock to the left of the screen in order to release yourself.

Please note that everytime you get your selection wrong, there will be another lock added onto the top of the screen (up to a maximum of 5) and you will be required to wait 15 seconds before you can have another attempt at escaping your cage).

[image]

Once completed, all of the locks at the top of the screen should be green and you will be teleported back to where you were first caught.

Prison Pete

A sinister cat drags you off to the mirror world of ScapeRune and locks you in a very strange jail! There you will meet the sad figure of Prison Pete who had also been captured.

[image]

The keys of the prison portals are hidden inside little balloon animals which are scampering around the floor. You will first need to speak to Pete and then pull the big lever to see which sort of animal you need to pop.

[image]

Pop the correct balloon in order to get a key and give them to Pete who will try them on the doors.

You will need to repeat this process until you have finally obtained the key to leave.

[image]

Sandwich Lady

Fancy a snack? The Sandwich Lady has come to give you a tasty treat! She'll tell you what kind of snack to take from her tray; make sure you don't take the wrong item, or she'll get very angry indeed...

[image]

Inconveniences

You just can't rely on anything - either your equipment falls apart or it gets thrown away.

Lost & Found office

Public transport isn't always perfect. Even the RuneScape Teleportation Matrix suffers from the occasional glitch. If you find yourself stuck, you will need to see which of the nearby levers is the odd one out, then pull it to continue your journey.

[image]

Don't worry though, Abyssal services apologise for any inconvenience and recompensate you with the runes that you were previously using.

Fishing

There are some big fish around which don't like being caught. They might steal your equipment and spit it out nearby.

[image]

Mining

Pickaxes are sometimes faulty, and you may lose the head if you swing too wildly. Just pick up the head, re-attach it, and away you go.
[image]

Be aware that the head is only hidden from other players for a limited time and they can be worth a lot of money.

Woodcutting

Axes are sometimes faulty and you may lose the head if you swing too wildly. Just pick up the head from the ground, re-attach it, and away you go.
[image]

Like the pickaxe, please be aware that while the head is on the ground it is only hidden from other players for a limited time, and they can be worth a lot of money.

Farming (Members only)

Poorly manufactured rakes and spades will sometimes fall apart. Stick them back together and you'll be able to continue using them.
