You also discovered a typo in the dialogue with your Wily Hellcat. As far as I can tell, it is scaredy and not scardy, not even for British spelling.

[@Ubercarrot]

Back in the good old days you actually used to be able to extinguish your light source... This is how you could lure people to the giant mole and have them put it out

The inability to drop your final light source was added many years later, as an anti-lure mechanic.

[@narahin]

A small thing i noticed once. If you venom a Rock Slug in the lumbridge caves, it will continue dying untill a update day on wednesday. It's mechanic where it cannot die without rock salt, and venom reapplying itself will make a continous loop for its death, it will "die" every 20 seconds for an entire week if that is your wish :)!

[@huddl3buh50]

i wonder if this works on desert lizards, zygomites, or gargoyles too.

[@RamiraX]

Regarding that first Cave Goblin scenario: you end up near them if you fail the 3rd direction option during The Lost Tribe (you get sucked into the ground and are stranded about 10 tiles away from the Cave Goblins if you go west instead of south just past the bone bridge). This extinguishes your lightsource (I think you previously also had a chance of losing it - but that may be from failing a different obstacle in that same 'maze'). This can end up saving you if you have previously talked to them - or consciously walk up to them and space bar. I love how this is now getting found/'rediscovered' in OSRS specifically because of the eternal fire! Update: Could not find an interaction that takes your torch, not even from going immediately north from the small tunnel past the brooch and getting swept into the water - but I did test it on one of my test accounts and found that you can totally tell the goblins you're not going to hurt them, and then get the torch off them, all in time before the bugs become a nuisance :).

[@tehroflcopters]

I don't recall, but has it always been the case that you couldn't extinguish or drop your light source? Or was that an added safe-guard after light sources and these goblins were introduced?

[@RamiraX]

@@tehroflcopters You could previously drop them. The drop protection was added as a measure against luring. These goblins and the quest have existed for far longer (though they were not added at the same time - the goblins were added before the quest, I don't know whether them handing out torches was released with the quest or before to later be an interaction during the quest) - in fact, the method to extinguish someone's candle by making them walk into one of these dorgeshu'un 'cave tunnel maze' mud slide traps still works to this day.

[@SoupRS]

Crazy!

[@zacmoreno1988]

The mechanics of dropping the torch changed right?

[@Yomezio]

also if you fail the rock jumps in the lum swamp caves and fall into the water it can extinguish your light. idk if it still happens but i distinctly remember losing purple elegant to it back around 2007 lol

[@frankie-a]

man, getting hans inside the goblin hut reminds me of those little toys with the balls inside a maze and you have to get them into the hole by tilting it around..

[@dooglehead8]

Not sure if this counts, but here is an obscure glitch: Do the werewolf agility course while equipping any weapon that changes your walk animation. After climbing the skull slope, you will go back to having a normal walk/run animation until you change what you have equipped or teleport. You can still leave the agility course and go through the paterdomus temple (but not the agility shortcut next to it) and keep the normal walk animation. I like equipping the giant boulder, because it ends up covering your head in a normal walk animation, making it look like the giant boulder is your head.

[@yoururmum]

thats pretty cool xD

[@sLdHavoc]

The clip of the hellcat in the barrows clip reminded me of a fun fact, its actually on the wiki but I don't think its common knowledge... If you have a rat slayer task you can kill hell-rat behemoths with your cat underneath Evil Dave's house to complete your task. They give 7 slayer exp per kill. Not sure if there is much of a practical use, perhaps just multitasking some very low level slayer while collecting spices?

[@MeriadocMyr]

You could drop or extinguish your light source before. Your light source can also go out a lot closer to them by failing the agility shortcuts or by doing the things they were place there for. If you take the wrong route through the cave goblin mines during lost tribe, you can fall and get spit out here. Leaving you with plenty of time to talk to them.

[@McSquiggles44]

If you tele away from the gorak plane on the same tick that a gorak dies, the drop will come from the gwd gorak loot table instead of the gem drop table. Not too useful but might fit one of your vids if it doesn't get patched :) love the content my man, keep it up!

[@MajoraOSRS]

If you're telegrabbing or doing another similar animation stall whenever the Gorak dies, it'll roll gwd loot too. pretty odd!

[@KeytarArgonian]

What they don’t tell you in Lumbridge caves… is that those aren’t insects attacking you on the dark… it’s the goblins jabbing you with needles.

[@dayzofourlivesLOL]

The fire likely has nothing to do with the building but rather the fire object itself is a unique asset that was reused

[@yoururmum]

yeh thats what i thought to

[@jimmywilliams5495]

UNUSUAL MONEY MAKER!!!!!: When doing the underground pass quest on a account that has never done it before, there is a part of the quest where you can kill guys that look like chaos druids, I believe they are called "Iban's followers" or something like that. This is the one and only time you can kill an NPC and it has a 100% drop rate for a zamorak robe set. It's around 4k for a single robe set and you can kill as many as you want so long as you haven't finished the quest. Could be a decent unusual money maker? I hope you look into it if you do another Unusual Money Maker episode.

next Goblinor Games: - Torched Goblins "Get me a torch from a goblin" - Hans Rancher "Get Hans into the Goblin House" fun side-fact about Life Runes, they appear in a 4th wall breaking quest about the Gowers brothers in RS3

[@redaxecat9206]

Hans teleporting back to his "respawn tile" is a mechanic shared by other NPCs as far as I know. If you get NPCs outside of their "allowed areas" and then they proceed to get stuck on a single tile and are unable to move, they will teleport back to their spawn tile after five minutes of being unable to move. Try timing it with Hans, I wonder if this ancient mechanic I found while playing Runescape 3 dates back to 2001!

[@bonuscomment2492]

Is this why Ardy master farmer would randomly teleport when I would trap him? 😂👌

[@redaxecat9206]

@@bonuscomment2492 I believe so, before learning of the world with the splasher, I would trap ardy knights inside houses by the ardy market, and they would either straight up walk through a wall to return to the market (they will walk through walls) or just disappear and respawn somewhere else. The ardy knight used for community thieving training does not teleport since it is in combat with a player, I believe being in combat stops them from force respawning.

I’ve noticed a young and magpie impling flying onto southwest Entrana while doing hops runs. I wasn’t fast enough to catch the implings, but I’m curious if that’s another way to smuggle weapons and armor onto the holy island.

[@thatonneguy]

considering doing the wiki patreon thing, it's so informative. Didn't think to make sure adblock was on for the wiki, just turned em all off. I honestly figured Jagex would've bought it by now. Imagine OSRS without being able to check the drop rate of a shield left half from lizardman shamans?

[@maskettaman1488]

-AFAIK Jagex is already the official developer and publisher of the wiki, so there's really nothing to "buy".- They provide financial support to the wiki team but it sounds like they don't provide enough. There's also complications with funding/employment because the Wiki team is in the USA but Jagex payroll is in UK. Sort of a sticky situation all around Edit: striked out incorrect info

I doubt anyone would have a video or information on it, but there was this interesting interaction at Tzhaar back in the day where you could force spawn random events by using any item on the vents that you can range behind, and iirc you could do it every like 2 minutes or so. It was either it force spawned a random event, or gave you a random gem. I know this will get lost in the comments and know one will have any info on it, but i figured id share it. I spent so much time down there and i remember learning about it from someone else like 16 years ago. Anyway doubt it helps but cheers! nice vid!

1. They had to add prevention to extinguishing a lit source while down in lumbridge swamp. It use to be a lure way back in the day. So they just made it so you couldn't extinguish anymore, but it use to be possible. Idk when the goblins were added though timeline wise.

[@edwardtan1773]

Not sure if they still exist, but there were also two other NPCs around Lumbridge called Gee and Donnie I think that also had the retreat mechanic, just like Hans.

[@the-thane]

I thought they still existed, it's just that they have a huge wader distance. So you should be able to catch them after server resets

[@xkorv]

Pretty sure the NPC's upstairs of Rimmington where a Bronze scimitar spawns also has the retreat mechanic.

[@ebogsnes]

Also interestingly the shayzien and pest control general store has a much smaller change in price per item in stock than basically all other stores in the game, so if you're trying to sell 50 of an item per world hop (like a rune arrow), those 2 are actually the best shops to sell to.

The Gorgeshuun Goblins, their city, and the related quests are among of the best lore designs in the entire game. It's a shame there's not much useful to do in the city.

[@DarkSecondsVideos]

The goblins is for rs3 in 2005. Osrs patched the candle drop to avoid lures.

[@HippieJoe]

2:24 I'm pretty damn sure you were able to extinguish the light source in the past, either by yourself or by falling into the swamp water that leads to the Tears of Guthix Minigame. So its not so cryptid that someone would find those goblins in the dark without a light source and have them give you one. They seemed to be located pretty close to the rock where a player would normally fall and turn off the candle. It just was probably never recorded because, why would you record it?

[@heymrhimr]

Not the most interesting, but after the bar maids were added to the Grand Exchange games area, the bar maids in the Burthorpe Games Room claim they they do not sell drinks if you try to buy drinks from them via dialogue. Despite this, you can still trade them for drinks. The bar maids at the Grand Exchange, however, do not have the trade option.

During Pirate's Treasure, you can't leave the island with the bottle of rum by teleporting as the bottle will break. However, if you happen to get the step at the Karamja Plantation during the Wanted! quest, Solus Dellegar can teleport you to Camelot without the bottle breaking.

[@WhydYouChangeMyHandle]

6:25 Not to toot my own horn, but this one isn't too uncommon I'd think. I saw this one time specifically *because* it's an npc you can talk to that also has an idle action/animation input. So I thought "I wonder if I can be silly and still have him 'talk to me' while he's visually mining... you wait long enough and you see that it CAN be done, how silly! Then you'll notice that the chathead now looks strange, if you initiate dialogue again, that's when you notice it's actually just different/older :)

Random one I noticed recently is the gnome benches in POH swivel around when your butler talks to you. Wonder if other chairs in the game are moveable like this?

[@LilacMonarch]

All POH chairs do this. The way the sitting animation works actually moves the chair (or one tile of it for benches) and is basically "glued" to your character until you get up. So if you find a way to rotate your character without getting up it can cause some funny stuff

[@lolilol299]

the fremennik fire part is most likely, as you said, just a copied fire from another Fremennik building, still having the original data. I have seen it happen in multiple other games where something like that happens. For example in WoW, in one of the new zones in DF some of the rivers will kill mechanical pets (if you're a hunter and use them) with a debuff from wintergrasp (an old pvp zone from Wrath of the lich king). The water there was supposed to kill player driven tanks, that in the gamefiles count as a player pet when used and ofc being mechanical.

It's possible there were no cave bugs at some point in development. So the cave goblin would just help an annoyed player lost in darkness with no home tele at the time.
