Gift Givers
Some random events consist of characters that simply give gifts . For example, a Drunk Dwarf may appear with beer and kebab, Genie with a magic lamp and the Mysterious Old Man with a strange box. If ignored, even gift givers can hurt a player (Dwarves), or teleport him to a random location on a map (Genies and Mysterious Men).
When a lamp is rubbed, a menu with all of the available stats is opened, and the player can choose what skill they wish to gain experience in. The player will gain a number of experience points (xp) equal to 10 times the player's skill level in that skill. Note that people playing the free version may not choose to advance member's stats with such a lamp.
The Mysterious Old Man's strange box is a special item, since it can multiply when unattended. Unless a player opens the box and solves the riddle inside, their entire inventory might fill up with boxes. Once all the boxes have been cleared, a small gift is given, usually an uncut gem, an uncut diamond if lucky (or in member's case, a half-key or a cosmic talisman), but only a small sum of money when unlucky.
As of August 12 , 2004 , their has been many new random events. Some of them can be classified under 'runescape humor'.
RuneScape humor
While there is plenty of serious content in RuneScape , there are also lots of quirky and humorous things going on too. Some of the more unusual things include the ability to cook a variety of types of pizzas; pick bananas on a banana plantation; hold parties with balloons; play with yo-yos, spinning saucers, and toy horses; whacking others with rubber chickens; raising a pet cat which can then perform activities such as catching rats; and duelling other players with a rubber chicken or a bunch of flowers. Around Easter 2005 players had the chance to catch up with the fast-moving giant Easter Bunny (a character no longer present in the game) and receive a rubber chicken.
In addition, if one searches a haystack, one will eventually find a needle. One can also "examine" certain items or people to discover amusing results. For instance, when one examines the Head Chef in the cooking guild, the game prints "Despite his name, he in fact only rarely cooks heads." When one examines the Examiner, the game prints "Upon examining the Examiner, you examine that he is indeed the Examiner." There are also various amusing 'emotes' your character can perform, including 'dance', 'panic', 'jump for joy', 'glass wall', 'cry' and 'blow kiss'. A random area has recently been added named "Miscellania", and their enemies, "Etceteria".
There are also a lot of quests which have humorous parts:
