The Mysterious Old Man (MOM) appears and interrupts whatever it is that you were doing. Some say he's just lonely, so if he talks to you, you should talk back. If you do, he'll reward you with a gift, possibly kebabs, spinach rolls, gp, gems, tallismen, half keys and caskets (rarely). If you ignore him and do not reply he will teleport you to a remote location.

Sometimes, Myserious Old Men can't be bothered talking to you, and will teleport you to a maze. Complete the maze as fast as possible, and you will receive a valuable reward - possibly hundreds of runes, arrows and ores. There are also some chests inside the maze which you can search, but it slows you down. The longer you take to complete the maze, the less your reward will be.

Also given by the MOM. If you're paying attention, you might even notice him saying "Here, take this!". Click on the box and answer a simple question regarding the numbers and shapes on the box. If you get the question right, you'll receive some gp, a gem or maybe even a half key! If you ignore the box or answer the question incorrectly, the box will duplicate, filling your inventory until it's full. Once it's full, the boxes will start to stack! If this happens, you'll have to open each one and answer the question; you can't bank the boxes or drop them. You'll only get the reward once you've answered them all, and you'll only get one reward for all of them, not one reward per box.

The MOM teleports you to a mime artist, and you have to follow his actions. Rewards from this include Mime clothing (Mask, top, pants, gloves and boots) and the ability to perform 4 new emote animations.

This time the MOM challenges you for a little game. It's called pinball, but human pinball would be more correct. You have to tag 10 poles. You can only tag poles with rings around them. If you tag a wrong pole, or try to leave before you're finished, your score will be set to 0, forcing you to start all over again. Rewards include noted gems, ores or food.

Introduced on one Friday the 13th in 2004, Bob the Jagex Cat has become the unofficial "pet" of Runescape. He wanders all over the member world, and if you're lucky enough to spot him, you can brag to all you meet that you've seen him.

If you're wearing your Amulet of Catspeak, go ahead and speak to him. He'll tell you some jokes, and maybe even hint that he's really a famous Runescape God. If you're not wearing your amulet, Bob will simply ignore you.

Pete is the official "postman" of Runescape. As well as taking care of the Postbag every month he also wanders all over the members world delivering mail to various NPCs or even come to visit you, and if you're lucky enough to spot him, you can brag to all you meet that you've seen him.

If you aren't busy, speak to him and you may be interested in what he has to say, although he's a bit crazy he can even speak wyvern!

He's just a lonely sailor looking for company, but he's a bit confused. Maybe he's been away at sea a little too long? If he speaks to you, maybe he's simply got you confused with someone else...an old shipmate, maybe?

Speak to him and receive a reward. He's been known to give gp and uncut gems to people that give him a couple moments of attention. Other loot he hands out includes food items like kebabs and spinach rolls, and sometimes even half keys. Ignore him, and you may be sorry. Cap'n Hand is a pirate after all, and pirates are usually armed and dangerous. He'll attack you with his crossbow if you try his patience.

Ever notice that you can withdraw multiple items from your bank as notes? In RuneScape Classic, "notes" were called "certificates" or "certs". Only a few kinds of items could be converted into "certs", and to do it, you had to visit an certificate exchange stall. Three of those stalls were run by three brothers: Niles, Miles and Giles. Since their retirement from the "certing" business, Niles, Miles & Giles have been amusing themselves giving simple tests to passing players.

Talk to them and answer the multiple-choice question they ask you. All you have to do is identify the spinning object and select the correct answer from the choices you're given. Get it right, and you'll be rewarded with some coins, various food items, or an uncut gem. If you fail the test or ignore them, they'll try to convert items from your inventory into banknotes, then teleport you away! See below for a sample test:

Famous scientist Dr. Jekyll has a problem...he's missing some ingredients for the potion he's making to stop "transforming". He may ask you for a guam leaf or some other herb he needs to complete his potion.

Talk to him quickly, and don't worry if you don't have what he's asked you for. The good doctor doesn't hold a grudge, provided you speak to him to show you care about his problem. He may even reward you with some of his other helpful potions if you speak to him. If you ignore him, he'll think you don't care about him, and he'll transform into the fearsome Mr. Hyde. Before he turns back into the gentle Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde will attack you using melee, and his combat level depends on your combat level, so it's not always fixed. Varies from 14 - 159.

A drunken dwarf, similar to the old man will appear anywhere and give you a beer and a kebab.

Talk to him straight away and receive a kebab and a beer! If you ignore him he will start attacking you weakly with badly aimed rocks. You cannot attack him back.

Not to be confused with "Bob the Jagex Cat", this feline's name tells you everything you need to know about him. Friendly, he isn't, evil, he is. Evil Bob likes to drag unsuspecting travellers away to a warped plane of reality called ScapeRune to serve as his slaves. Everything in ScapeRune is backwards.

Talk to Evil Bob to find out what he'd like you to do. He'll ask you to catch him some fish. You'll need help from his other slaves to do it. Talk to Evil Bob's slaves, and they will tell you how to get the fish Evil Bob has asked for. You will fish up a cooked fish, which you will have to uncook on a nearby pot. Once you're finished, use the fish with Evil Bob, and after a few repetitions of this, he will fall asleep. Now's your chance to escape! Run to the the portal, and you'll be teleported back to where you were. You'll receive xp in a skill as a reward.

If you come under attack from this uniquely malignant fowl, be prepared for a tough fight.

Stay and fight it and pick up the feathers, meat, bones, and egg it drops, or just run away. The chicken's combat level depends on your combat level, so it's not always fixed. Varies from 14 - 159, and it attacks with magic.

This strange man may teleport you to a clearing in some distant forest to help him kill the pheasant of his choice.

Do what he asks - if you bring him the carcass of the correct pheasants, he may reward you with some of his unique clothes, which consist of a "lederhosen" top, shorts or hat. If you ignore him or kill the wrong birds, you'll be teleported to a distant place.

Throughout the ages, many tales have been told about princes and princesses cruelly transformed into frogs. A small army of frogs may come to you while you're minding your own business, and they will ask you to help them by giving their prince or princess a simple kiss to restore their true form.

Go ahead and kiss the frog prince (for female characters) or princess (for male characters). Doing it will get you a "frog token", that can be exchanged at the Varrock Clothes Shop for a frog mask or a prince/princess outfit. And don't worry about warts...these little froggies are wart-free!

If you ignore the request, you will be turned into a frog and teleported to a distant cave. Find the Frog Prince/Princess in the middle of the cave and speak to him/her. He/She will ask you if you're sorry for ignoring him/her -- say that yes, you're sorry, and you'll be teleported back to where you were. Without the token, of course!

He appears and gives you a magic lamp. When you rub the magic lamp, you get an options screen like the one below where you can get free xp for any skill of your choice. The amount of xp you get is provided below the picture: (Note: you cannot bank or trade the lamp)

Answer him to receive your lamp. If you don't answer him, he will scatter your inventory across the floor, or teleport you somewhere else.

Molly appears and she says she's having some problems with her evil twin. She's managed to lock the evil twin somewhere, but evil as the twin is, she's taken 4 innocent civilians with her! Your job is to pick out the evil twin.

Use the claw to catch the evil twin. Move it until the red marker is right on the correct girl (the one that looks like Molly), then hit grab. You have just 2 tries though -- if you fail you will be teleported. If you do succeed, you will receive a reward (a few gems), and you will be teleported to where you were before you got the random event.

Rick Turpentine, the notorious highwayman, wishes to atone for his life of crime by giving out free valuables.

Just speak to him and accept what he offers you. If you ignore his generous offer, he'll get angry and attack you. The loot he gives can be practically anything, from a few gp or a mere kebab or other food item, to a half key or a gem.

Public transportation isn't always perfect. Even the RuneScape Teleportation Matrix suffers from the occasional glitch. While teleporting, you may suddenly find yourself stuck in some abyssal hole.

Determine which of the nearby levers is the odd one out, then pull it. If you choose correctly, you will receive an apology, some teleport runes or essence (when essence mining) for your trouble, and you'll be on your way.

You are taken to ScapeRune, where Prison Pete helps you escape.

Pop the correct balloons in order to get the key you need to leave. He will give you a small reward, such as an unidentified herb, for your efforts.

The enthusiastic host of the greatest quiz show in RuneScape, "Odd One Out", may invite you to compete for some valuable prizes.

Choose which of the items you're shown is the one that doesn't belong. Get enough questions right, and you'll be asked to choose between cold, hard cash and a "mystery box". But choose wisely...the box can contain something good like a valuable gem, but it can also contain useless junk.

She appears and offers you a treat from her tray.

Pick the treat she tells you to take, and you can use it as food. Pick wrong and she will teleport you away. If you are unsure what the item is that she is offering you then click the 'key' in the bottom right corner.

The Security Guard’s job is to wander around looking for players whose recovery questions haven't been set. He’s out to remind you to set your recovery questions so that you can get your character back should something happen, such as forgetting your password, or being hacked and having your account and/or password stolen.

If you talk to him and listen to what he has to tell you about security, you’ll be rewarded. He’s been known to give out coins, food items like kebabs, half keys, gems, and other various items. You can attack him, but don’t bother – he’s hard to kill, and he doesn’t drop anything if you do manage to kill him.

This annoying swarm will attack you hitting ticklish 1's and 2's while you are doing anything.

You cannot attack and kill them, so run away until they stop chasing you - pest repellent and bug sprays don't work.

While doing anything a strange plant will start growing next to you. It will be fully grown in about a minute or so.

When it's fully grown 'pick' the plant to get a 'strange fruit'. When eaten, the fruit replenishes 30% of your energy and removes poison like an anti-poison potion. If don't pick the fruit, the plant will attack you and poison you. Poison does 2 damage per hit.

Sergeant Damien, the drill demon, appears to you and requests that you complete a drill in order to be trained for his army.

Follow his orders. He will command you to do push ups, do sit ups, do star jumps, or jog in place. Move to the mat with the corresponding sign board to complete the task. As a reward you will receive one of his camouflage pieces of armour, which can no longer be traded.

Pious Pete teleports you from what you are doing to a church to relight his candles.

Relight all the candles using the arrows and the fire shaped light button. Once all the candles are light you will be returned to where you were with a little prize for your efforts. Rewards can include big bones and half keys.

The Rock Golem will appear and attack you while you are mining. It's combat level depends on your combat level, so it's not always fixed. Varies from 14 - 159. As well as its primary melee attack it can use a secondary range-based attack to throw rocks at you!

You can run away for 3 or 4 seconds until it stops chasing you - unless you want to kill it. It can drop ores, stouts or pickaxes.

If you mine the same rock too long it will eventually start smoking. If you keep hitting it, you will cause an explosion, hitting you up to 10hp and breaking your pickaxe.

Stop mining that rock!!! If you do break your pickaxe, you can get it fixed by the Pickaxe Salesman Nurmof in the Dwarven Mine, for a small fee.

Your pickaxe head will fly off of it's handle and land a few squares away.

Pick up the head and re-attach it by 'using' the head with the handle.

The River Troll will appear and attack you if you have been fishing in the same spot too long. It's level varies according to yours. Varies between 14 - 159.

Just run away until it stops chasing you, unless you want to kill it. It can drop bait, raw fish, oysters or junk.

This sneaky fish will appear and steal your fishing equipment, dropping it on the ground next to you while it destroys the fishing spot for a while.

Pick up your equipment and wait for the fishing spot to come back or move onto another spot.

A whirlpool will engulf the fishing spot, stopping you from fishing in it until it goes away minutes later.

If you try to fish in the whirlpool, you will lose your equipment. Wait for the whirlpool to disappear and the fishing spot to return, or move to another spot.

Sometime the fishing spot will just move away out to sea.

Wait for it to come back or move to another fishing spot.

The Tree Spirit will appear and attack you if you have been woodcutting for too long. It's level varies according to yours. Varies between 14 - 159.

Just run away until it stops chasing you, unless you want to kill it. It can drop axes, seeds, bananas and runes.

Sometimes when you're chopping trees, the tree you're cutting will turn into an Ent, who will take your axe and break it.

Right before the tree turns into an Ent, you might notice the tree shake. If this happens, stop chopping and move away from the tree. If the Ent does manage to break your axe, you can get it fixed at Bob's Axes in Lumbridge for a small fee.

Your axe head will fly off it's shaft and land a few squares away when you are woodcutting.

Pick up the head and re-attach it to the shaft by 'using' the head with the shaft.

While woodcutting, a bird's nest drops out of the tree you're trying to cut down and lands behind you.

Pick up the nest and search it. It might contain some useful or valuable items, such as gold, sapphire, emerald, ruby or diamond rings, and seeds for farming. Other possible loot includes red, green or blue birds' eggs. Although Jagex has still not said what the bird eggs are for, we suggest you hang onto them. The nest can be crushed with pestle & mortar for use in herblore as well.

A watchman can appear if you've been thieving too long and attack you. His combat level varies according to yours...the highest seen is 159.

Just run away until he stops chasing you - unless you want to kill him. He can drop coins, nature runes, water runes, body runes, law runes, death runes, herbs, steel bars, mithril medium helms, steel longswords, coal, nature & chaos talismen, uncut gems and dragon spears.

When you are thieving chests you might be surrounded by a green gas cloud that can poison you!

Move away as quickly as possible and wait for the cloud to dissipate. If you do get poisoned, get away and drink an antipoison potion as soon as possible.

While you are thieving a guard may appear and send you to the pillory. A local tramp will throw rotten tomatoes at you.

After you are thrown in the cell you will see a puzzle like the one shown below. Just match the key shape up to the lock. When you finish the puzzle you will be transported back to where you were. When you escape you will get a small prize like a gem, a few gp, a half key or a crystal key tooth half.

While burying all types of bones, Leo the Gravedigger will appear to you and teleport you to his cemetery.

Rearrange the coffins into the correct grave by matching the occupation with the grave. If you see ores and a pickaxe on the coffin, bury it in the grave with matching symbols. Once you have correctly buried all 5 coffins you will receive a reward including 2 new emotes and new "zombie" clothing.

While burying all types of bones, a shade might appear and attack you. It's level depends on yours, but the highest is 159.

Just run away until it stops chasing you, unless you want to kill it. It can drop top and bottom black shade robes.

Zombies are attracted by the sight of freshly buried bones, and will appear and attack you when you've been burying lots of bones. Their level is based on yours, but the highest seen is 159.

Just run away until it stops chasing you, unless you want to kill it. It can drop bait, chaos runes, nature talismen and all types of bones.

Poorly manufactured rakes and spades will sometimes fall apart while you're using them.

Put your broken tool back together by "using" one part of the tool with the other.

While you're raking your plot or tending to your crops, a pirate will tell you about some treasure that's buried in the patch where you're growing your crops.

Help him get the lid off the treasure chest by solving the combination lock puzzle, and he'll share the contents of the chest with you. If you ignore him, he'll mug you and teleport you to a remote location. Possible rewards include gold coins, a gold necklace and a gold bar.

If you decide to help him, you'll get a puzzle screen like the one below. To solve the puzzle, all you have to do is match up the pictures with the correct words, like a slot machine. When you're done, click the "unlock" button.

Sometimes when you're mining and you're not careful, a chunk of the rock you're pounding away at may fly off and hit you on the head. This can also happen if you're a little too enthusiastic whilst woodcutting -- a piece of the tree you're cutting down may fall off and hit you. If this happens, the eccentric Dr. Ford will appear to make sure you're alright.

Count the number of fingers Dr. Ford holds up for you to count. If you get them right, he'll give you a treat. But don't ask him for a lollipop; the good doctor is of the opinion that lollipops are bad for you. Instead, you'll get a piece of fruit, like a banana, pineapple chunks, lemon or lime slices or orange slices. If you get the answer to his test wrong, or you don't do the test, you'll be teleported to a quiet place where you can recover from your accident.

Apparently, tangle vines are quite rare. These vines can start growing in any area, and will start growing around your feet, over about 10 squares, rather like ivy on walls.

DON'T MOVE. Any NPC or player caught moving will be attacked and damaged. You cannot hit the vine back or kill it, so just stay still for 30 seconds or so.
