2002 Easter event

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

On Easter 2002, Easter eggs were dropped. During that period of time, Easter eggs would randomly fall every now and then. They heal 12 Hitpoints and are eaten in one bite.

The Easter eggs are rare because they were only dropped on Easter day. Some people ate them because they healed a fair amount of Hitpoints, for something that did not have a considerable price at the time. When players sell Easter eggs, they usually withdraw them in notes as to avoid accidentally clicking an egg, which would lead to it being eaten. It is recommended that when players are dealing with an un-noted Easter egg, that they switch their clicking options from 2-click to 1-click to avoid this issue.

In the past, Easter eggs were worth a small amount of money. However now, prices have increased dramatically to 31,300,000 coins, due to merchanting clans. Besides eating, Easter eggs are a symbol of wealth (when shown on a trade screen) or to show that a player was there when the item was dropped.
