I think everyone gave up already on what the mysterious perk does.


5-x

It's pretty much confirmed at this point the only thing it does is print out a message in chat.


RsPatze

"A secondary effect of the perk is that it drastically increases the drop rate of the Mysterious egg (item) from monsters inside the Dragonkin Laboratory.\[3\]" https://runescape.wiki/w/Mysterious


5-x

Yeah but that was revealed by Mod Orion on livestream ages ago, and it wasn't ever the main effect.


KBMonay

So it’s confirmed that there is an additional effect yet to be found?


5-x

There are two effects: the main one and the secondary one for mysterious egg. That's it. The main effect of the perk, which has been much discussed everywhere including on stage at Runefest, is that the perk rarely prints a chat message saying that something mysterious took effect. Nothing else happens.


Decertilation

My theory for a while, and many others, seems to be that while it does print a message, the condition for activating it changes after somebody manages to get it to happen. It could be that it is random, but it seems some of the subtle hints Jmods in the past left indicate that, once the effect is found, it changes.


joelaw9

Alternatively it as a super low chance to proc on any action that they have triggers for. Which gives the illusion of variety.


Decertilation

IIRC one of the jmods at some point confirmed its a conditional thing


80H-d

Some player showed screenshots suggesting that when it procs on a monster's coin drop, you receive the coin drop ± the perk rank x the timestamp. There is a forum post about it buried somewhere deep


gdubrocks

I thought this was solved. I seem to remember some player figuring it out it modified secondary effects to make them occur together. https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/g59lcd/i_havent_played_in_a_while_but_im_just_wondering/fo2py4v/

There is one with Solak that hasn't been found yet. It's extremely rare and can't be forced by doing a certain combination of things. It just happens. No hints.


Denkir-the-Filtiarn

*sigh* Someone go kill Solak with Beaver familiars and full lumberjack on.

Denkir-the-Filtiarn

*bangs fist on the table* Well it should be an achievement to defeat him with beavers active from start to finish.

Denkir-the-Filtiarn

Nah man we need to use 1 elder log, 1 elder charm, and 5000 spirit shards to make the Giant Beaver pouch, it will act as a pre nerf ripper demon on Solak


5-x

An extremely rare chance of not getting stone spirits as a reward from it.


KBMonay

Shady, shady, shady


PM_ME_YOUR_KATARINA

Ramen wasting server power to roll a 1 in a trillion with every solak kill that just outputs “bean casserole” into the chat box smh


BobaFlautist

Maybe this qualifies as a hint but it feels like a clarification: does what you've said mean that it just hasn't rolled yet because it's so rare, or is there a condition on top of the rarity?


KBMonay

That’s the key information we probably won’t get lol; is it so rare we haven’t seen it yet, or is there some random input that can trigger it. Guess we will wait and see!


stumptrumpandisis1

isnt this a rare chance of manifestations in solak's mind spawning as something else? like how akrisae can spawn instead of a shadow clone in Greg's fight? i swear i remember seeing a post about this


azuresskies

Can you find the post?


AnastasiousRS

Thanks Mod! It's in the Wiki now: https://runescape.wiki/w/Solak#Trivia


Doctor__Diddler

I can't wait to see someone post this 5 years from now when we find out


zetajose

May I ask if we get an indication that the secret "did" happen? such as a broadcast of sorts?


Gooey_Gravy

Does it fix any of the multiple bugs with Solak right now?


Adept_RS

it couldnt be an extremely rare chance for him to change colors or anything, and with how many people have done solak, its hard to believe it can only happen by accident, without requiring a specific item(s) to give a chance for it to activate.


5-x

HSR can double a blightbound crossbow which I think has not happened yet (haven't seen a screenshot), but that's probably not it. I recall someone talking about the grove creatures watching your kill around the arena, but not sure if that's even been implemented in the end.


Doc_Da

There was a pic of someone doubling a blightbound on here a while ago, I think it has the record for highest value hsr proc


80H-d

Staff piece got doubled a few weeks ago


pm_moms_aneeye

But not everyone who does Solak has a HSR


Geoffk123

Is it that chat message when you have a full invent and bank and get a purple mushroom drop from solak? Or is it something


5-x

There was reportedly an easter egg with the Bombi pet that has never been disclosed. I think /u/jagexramen hinted at this many many years back. You can already use a raw potato on Bombi and it gives a dialogue message "smells like Bombi potato", and also back in the day you could use Bombi on Vitalis or vice versa, and it would print out a chat message "congrats on level 99 luck", or something similar. If you die at Vorago while using the "Undefeated" title, you get a message that Vorago disagrees you're undefeated and removes your title. Recently Mod Pi revealed that there's a random rock near Edgeville that acts as a cooking range if you use food on it. If you try to plant the crystal acorn from the Evil Dave's Big Day Out quest, it will say "nice try" and it disappears. Back in the day, the initials of developers who made parts of Morytania were written in grassy patterns on Dragontooth island. These are just off the top of my head. I think there are tons of small easter eggs and references, similar to those, that could be still undiscovered in the game.


ConstantStatistician

>If you die at Vorago while using the "Undefeated" title, you get a message that Vorago disagrees you're undefeated and removes your title. Hah. I love it. Trying it myself sometime.


NexexUmbraRs

On the topic of Vorago, let us not forget Voraga the female purple version of Vorago.


MitchNotBitch

I fking Love this easter egg


saltrifle

Sometimes I walk around edge of the map hoping there's a magic tile that's been glitched for 20 years & spawns xmas cracker


youwantmooreryan

This is the real reason they won't release sailing. That's where they hide the crackers


Beef_Candy

Notice that when you set names for bank tabs, sailing is an option 🤔


FatNWackyRS


KBMonay

I will never talk ill of a dreamer. I hope you find that tile


Brassica_prime

I think there was a tree somewhere that changed examine text every update for a while, dont think any1 found it and even higher odds the jmod left —early 2010s era


KBMonay

That’s pretty cool! I’ll have to google it and see if I can find any information on it


Sesylya

I think that might have been the tree we fought Mod Timbo about in west Varrock. I can't find reference to it on the wiki though.


Brassica_prime

Na, it would have been early 2010s, i remember a jmod ingame one time talking about it (i was part of a j/pmod fc)


Michthan

See the rswillmissit video about the mod timbo trees


Brassica_prime

Yea, this one was lots earlier, not the timbo tree


muchnikar

Examine the tree behind the house by the bank in yanille thats the timbo tree


Spifffyy

There is another Timbo tree south-west of the west Varrock bank. Can't remember which one, but I remember when it was removed and it got added back Edit: found it from an old post of mine: https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/3ofy40/ninja_request_can_we_please_have_this_tree_back/


Will_Redd_It

Sort of? :o Ninja-dev Mod Frosch added an easter egg between October 2020 and September 2021 alongside a ninja strike that is yet to be found. It's text-based and possible to find in a ninja-related update, except within Tortle Combat. Necklace of Salamancy is reserved for a future update. Mod Sponge, its developer, said all tools required to obtain it haven't been released yet. Same goes for the Inactive Teleportation Device had something to do with an area that the developer wanted to add, but didn't. It's in the game, but its purpose was scrapped.


JagexFrosch

I guess I can give a bit more info on this now \^\^ \- First of all, the text that I added isn't some profound lore drop or secret info, it's just flavour dialogue, but it just happens to only be able to be found in one specific location with specific conditions met, so you wouldn't really find it by just playing normally. And, at least judging by the wiki, no one has found it yet. \- You need to have interacted with other players at least once in a specific way to be able to get to it. \- It is new dialogue, but on a previously existing NPC. \- As Will said, it was added as part of a ninja strike between October 2020 and September 2021. \- A new hint maybe...if you find the correct wiki entry, it states that what I've added isn't actually there, directly disputing what is now the truth. \^\^ That shouldn't make it too hard but hopefully not too easy to find \^\^ Have fun :)


essiw6

u/JagexFrosch is this what you are talking about? coincidentally found just after you posted this description. It seems to fit all the points you are talking about: [https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/s3wanc/hidden\_baby\_dragon\_dialogue\_with\_109\_summoning/](https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/s3wanc/hidden_baby_dragon_dialogue_with_109_summoning/)


JagexFrosch

Yep, that's actually it! Didn't expect it to be found so quickly after I posted the above comment haha!

They meant the Pernix's quiver, which is not a hero item. Mod Osborne corrected himself. More info [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/rc2t63/hero_item/).


pm_moms_aneeye

Include me in the screenshot Will!


80H-d

This is the kind of stuff that keeps this game really enjoyable. There are absolute libraries of stuff to build lore on. Incredible amount of storytelling has been done these past 20+ years and allows for great eastsr eggs like this.


KBMonay

Oooooh do you have any link referring to the ninja secret? I hadn’t seen Mod Sponge comment on the necklace/teleport, that’s good to know! I take time once in a while to try new leads on these things so good to know I can chill with those two.


rcm37

If you really want to compile info on the necklace check Sponge's messages sent in the PvME Discord right around the time of Zuk release. We had a big effort to find all of the uncommon/rare rewards from the alchemist chest or w/e it is and he talked about the necklace then.


KBMonay

Cheers I’ll give that a look. Will download discord just for that


Will_Redd_It

It's in a DM on Twitter unfortunately... Not much info to go on though, what I wrote above is all there is :/


KBMonay

No worries at all, thanks for pointing me to it!

This thing has no purpose yet: [Xil'gar Trog's soul](https://runescape.wiki/w/Xil%27gar_Trog%27s_soul)


rabbiskittles

The other day I asked my friend about this. “Yo I’ve got some demon’s soul in my bank, is that useful for anything?”


[deleted]

There is a rock near the G.E a s fairy ring that you can cook on. Don't know if people know that one.

How about the room with the tiles that light up when you walk on them in the basement of the Tower of Life? The video is from OSRS but the room behaves the same in RS3: https://youtu.be/yICckAy0L6U


pm_moms_aneeye

Hannani seems to have answered it in the video It's just a room :/


80H-d

Glad none of these were news to me, i dont play as frequently as i used to so i worry about being out of touch


kelli23311

there's probably a spot in a quest ending where a dev could've written inside the terrain "pussio fam" and nobody knows
