The Doomsayer stands on a box prophesising doom to everyone who speaks to him. He has a natural skill for sensing danger and he feels it is his duty to warn others of the potential hazards that await unsuspecting travelers. He does this by putting up warning signs in dangerous places, accompanied with a warning message. Whilst he calls himself the Doomsayer, he feels that his proper title should be Danger Tutor.

Danger signsEdit

The areas/events where the Doomsayer has placed warning signs are as follows:

Dagannoth Kings' ladder	Lumbridge Swamp Caves rope	Stronghold of Security ladders	Falador Mole lair
Dropped items in random events	Player-owned houses	Sophanem Dungeon ladder	Ice Path area
H.A.M. Tunnel from the Mill	Fairy Ring to Dorgesh-Kaan	Death Plateau	Lumbridge Castle Cellar
Mort Myre swamp	Observatory Stairs	Elid Genie Cave west of Nardah	Shantay Pass
Watchtower Shaman cave	Ranging Guild tower	Trollheim Wilderness entrance	Wilderness wall
Dorgesh-Kaan City exit	Dorgesh-Kaan tunnel to the Kalphites	God Wars Wilderness Agility Route	Duel Arena
Living Rock Caverns	Chaos Tunnels (East)	Chaos Tunnels (Central)	Chaos Tunnels (West)
Corporeal Beast's lair	Clan Wars free for all Safe portal	Clan Wars free for all Dangerous portal	Morytania
Crucible	Edgeville KBD Shortcut	Goblin Raid Warning	Demon Raid Warning
Sinkhole Warning

These warning signs may be toggled on/off after the player has seen them roughly 6-8 times. A good way to be able to toggle them faster is to click the entrance to where the warning is given, and click "No" 6-8 times. After that period, they may switch them on or off as they like.

TriviaEdit

• A Doomsayer is a person who predicts disaster.
• Formerly the Doomsayer would wander in a small wander radius; after an update he is now stationary.
• His staff appears to have the form of an eye on the top, which is probably referring to how he can see the dangers in hazardous places. This staff is not available to players.
• His staff resembles the Staff of Ra from The Raiders of the Lost Ark. His action is similar to the action Indiana Jones does when he sets the Staff of Ra into the ground.
• He says "All around us! I can feel it in the air, hear it on the wind, smell it...also in the air." This may be a reference to Galadriel from the motion picture The Lord of the Rings saying "I amar prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen. Han mathon ne chae, a han noston ned'willith", meaning, "The world has changed. I can feel it in the water. I can feel it in the earth, I can smell it in the air."
