[edit] Items
[edit] Safety gloves
If you look closely at the gloves, you'l notice that the design and look is about the same as the fighting boots.
The safety gloves design is obviously based much upon the gloves that are part of the three sets of fremennik armour, particularly the spined gloves. However, they have a different look that tends to match the fighting boots, as said above.
[edit] Broad arrows
- When slayer was first released, Broad arrows were 6 coins each, and tradable. Many players took advantage of this, so Jagex increased the price and made them untradable.
[edit] Spinning plate
- They came out on April first, 2005.
- Initially, the plate would break when it fell to the ground and would be "a broken plate"
- The broken plates were removed the following day.
- Spinning plates are actually called Dragon Plates, but that referred to much to a Dragon Platebody.
[edit] Iron sickle
Some months ago, an update made Gunnhild stop selling Iron Sickles. Players that would still (for random reasons) have this in their bank were able to trade them. This generated a new discontinued item at which many people began trying to buy them for cheap, while others that had them were trying to sell for over a million coins. Jagex later posted on the forums that players were able to buy them again, as they did not want another rare to be generated.
[edit] Lobster
- Back in RSC, the colouration of the lobster was actually the wrong way around. Raw lobsters were a bright red colour when caught, and turned a deep brown when cooked. It wasn't until the implementation of the "RS2" upgrade that it was fixed.
- Players have been known to sell a "rare black lobster" for outrageous prices in the past. This was just a worthless burnt lobster. The term "rare black lobster" is now used as a term making fun of new player's gullibility.
- There is a scam in which players are tricked into trading their inventory for some lobsters.
[edit] Dragon Boots
During the early hours after the release of the boots, players found that they were not a very rare drop. Many higher level players were able to get several pairs per trip.
[edit] Team Capes
- If you take all the first letters from the wilderness cape merchant's names it will spell the word "Wilderness".
- On the first day the team capes were released, there was a gray team cape, this however was very similar to the legends cape, so was later replaced with the yellow team capes.
- Some Team cape traders were replaced (all of them now being in areas accessible to F2P users).
