RANDOM EVENT GUIDE

by: lewisjblack

Random events happen to everyone at random times in runescape some are very common some not so some you may get killed some may be only done on a paticular skill but all you have to no is there some very diffucult ones but this guide covers them

Common events

Drunken Dwarf
This Dwarf that has clearly had too much to drink (which is obvios becaus eof the way he moves) will share a Kebab and Beer with you after talking to him. If you wait too long, he'll throw small projectiles at you. If you don't notic ethe dwarf you could be fishing in canterby but end up in lumbridge with only three items so watch out.

Mysterious Old Man
This old man will give you a gift ranging from a small stack of coins to gems or a Spinach Roll if you speak to him. If you ignore him, he might teleport you to a random place. This is one of the most common events and is easy but for a new player can be very confusing and may multiply and take up all your inventory space.

Genie
This is my favourite of the three commonest events as you can go up fishing levels in the monestry. The genie will give you a lamp if you rub the lamp it give you a choise of adding xp to any of your skills if you are a member and to all freeplay skills if your f2p. The way it adds up is (xp=skill level x10)

Other events

Swarm
Sometimes a swarm of bees may become angry at you for some reason, and decide to start attacking you! The best thing to do would be to run from them, since they can't be killed.

Freaky Forester
This Freak Forester may appear at any time and teleport you to a jungle. He will order you to kill a Pheasant that he will choose, and if you bring back the correct dead Pheasant he will reward you with some of his special clothing known as Lederhosen.If you get the whole set you get 500gp instead this is the same wiht every other set of clothing you may get from random events.

Strange Plant
Someone correct me if i am wrong but this odd plant is a members only random event . It will slowly grow next to you, and once it's fully-grown you'll be able to pick the Strange Fruit and the plant will shrivel up. The fruit will restore 10% of your energy when it's eaten. If you don't pick the fruit, the plant will attack and poison you.

Frogs!
A small army of green Frogs may appear, and you'll be asked to kiss the Prince or Princess frog wearing a crown. Once you kiss it, you'll be given a Token that is exchangeable at the Varrock Clothing Shop for a Frog Mask or a Prince or
Princess Costume. If you don't talk to the right frog then you get sent to this room where you have talk to the right frog adn you won't get a token.

Highwayman
Rick Turpentine, the famous Highwayman will try and give you some free items to make up for the bad things that he's done in the past. But if you ignore him for too long he will attack you! This is a very common event but not as commen as the genie mystery man and drunken dwarf.

Evil chicken
This chicken wil turn out of no where and start attacking you. Its level is bassed on yours and there hard to kill and if you kill it the rewards are just feathers bones and eggs so there is no point wasting time killing it just go up a stair or ladder or run off and it wil dissappear

Miles Niles an Giles
Miles, Niles and Giles (the Draynor Village certificate brothers) may happen to pass by and greet you. Be sure to talk to them, or they'll turn an item in your Backpack into Bank Notes! You must find the item that they are looking for to got a prize. The items are normally easy to find.

Cap'n Hand
While training any skill, Cap'n Hand may appear and ask for your attention. Speak with him to receive a small gift, usually some gp. If you ignore him, he will attack you.

Drill Demon
You may be teleported by a Drill Demon who will tell you to do some push-ups, sit-ups, and other activities. There will be several mats around, each for a specific activity, and when you click on one you'll start doing one of the exercises. When he tells you to do an exercise and you pick the correct mat, he will tell you to do another.

If you manage to do them all correctly and in a certain amount of time, he will give you some Camo armor. The better you do, the better the chance of receiving multiple pieces of Camo armor. Even if you don't do very well he'll give you something!

Sandwich Lady
A Sandwich Lady may appear, and when you speak to her you can pick a food of her choice. If you pick the wrong one, she'll throw the food you were supposed to pick and you will faint. You will respawn in a random place in RuneScape.

Molly
This event i got when i was a lvl 3 and found really confussing i have done it three times now so i no how to i hope this guide will help you.

You get teleported to a room with a lady called Molly in. Talk to her, and she tells you that her sister has been doing bad stuff in RuneScape, but she gets blamed. She has caught her sister in a room, but some innocent ladies also got captured. You have only two tries to capture her sister. Her sister is also her twin, and so she is exactly like Molly, also with the same clothes.

Go through the door to the next room. Here you will find a gate, with some women on the other side. Click on the control panel to use it.

Click near the joystick to use it. Guide the 'Grab' to Molly's twin and press the red button near the joystick. She will be captured! Go back through the door to Molly and she will give you your prize!

Security Guard
He will appear and encourage you to explore the "Stronghold of Security". He will give you a Security Book to help you make your way there but if you have already done so he will give you a small gift as a reward.This is a rubbish event as the boook is useless and you get it even if you have done the Stronghold of Security.

Fishing Events
These events will only occur while you're fishing.

Big Fish
After fishing for some time, a Big Fish may jump out of the water and 'toss' your equipment a short distance from you. Just pick them up and go back to fishing.

River Troll
You may be attacked by a River Troll while fishing, and usually they're a higher level than you are. You can either run away, or stay and fight it. They commonly drop Fishing Bait and assorted fish.

Whirlpools & Moving Fish
A Whirlpool may appear in your fishing spot, and you'll need at least level 76 fishing to catch the fish. There's also a chance that you'll lose your fishing equipment in the Whirlpool. The fishing spot will also move when the Whirlpool has disappeared, but they can move at any time as well.

Magic Events
While using Magic, you may find that these events occur.

Lost and Found Office
There's a chance that your teleportation spell goes bad and you'll find yourself in a small Abyss room. You'll also see a message like this:

You'll have to find out which lever is different from the others in order to get back to RuneScape.

Then you will receive the kind of Runes that you were using, to make up for the mistake. So, if you were teleporting to Varrock, you would receive a Law Rune, 3 Air Runes and 1 Fire Rune. If you were teleporting to the Rune Essence Mine, you will instead receive 9 noted Pure Rune Essence.

Mining Events
There are several things that will only happen to you while Mining.

Exploding Rocks
If you see a steaming rock while mining, you shouldn't mine from it. If you do, the rock will explode and destroy your pickaxe, but it's nothing that Nurmof in the Dwarven Mines can't fix for you... for a price. But don't forget, you'll also take some damage as well!

Flying Pickaxe Head
After mining for awhile, pickaxe heads tend to become loose, and they may fly off. Ifthis happens, just pick it up from the ground where it landed and re-attach it to the handle.

Rock Golem
You may awaken a Rock Golem while mining, and if you do you can either run or fight it. Beware, they can also throw rocks at you! They usually drop ores and different kinds of pickaxes, and sometimes even Talismans used in Runecrafting.

Prayer Events
These events will only occur while you are burying bones.

Shades
While burying bones, a Shade may appear and attack you. You can either run from it, or stay and fight. They drop Shade Robes and piles of bones after you kill them.

Zombies
Much like a Shade, a Zombie may climb out of the ground and attack you while you're burying bones. If you decide to kill it, the Zombie could drop various, multiple sets of bones, Runes or Talismans.

Woodcutting Events
Sometimes 1 of these random events will occur while you're chopping wood.

Ent
The tree you're chopping may become an Ent, and if you continue chopping away at it, the Ent will attack you and damage your hatchet. You'll need to bring your hatchet back to Bob's Axes in Lumbridge to have it repaired.

Flying Axe Heads
Just like a pickaxe head can become loose while mining, your axe head can become separated from your hatchet while swinging at a tree. Just pick it up, re-attach it to the axe handle and begin cutting wood again.

Tree Spirit
While chopping wood, an angry Tree Spirit may appear from the forest and attack you. Often times they will drop various hatchets and Nature Runes if you decide to kill it.

Bird's Nest
From time to time a bird's nest will drop out of the tree carrying with it items ranging from various rare seeds to different rings, gems, and even colored birds eggs! The chances of getting a Bird's Nest will be increased when wearing a Lucky Rabbit's Foot.

I hope this guide will help you do random events and i will try to add to it when ever i can.
