A theory on random events

[gadien01]

While fighting black knights I accidentally clicked on a tree. I didn't have an ax on me hand and of course it said that I need an ax to cut down a tree. All this is standard but the odd thing is an ent appeared in the tree I clicked on which I thought to be odd since I didn't have an ax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So i tried a little expirement using trees: I took armor and an ax with me and start cutting down trees, but before cutting them down I clicked on a tree as much as possible without getting the logs. By doing so I was able to fight 2 tree spirts in the course of 10 mins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So heres my theory: If you want a random event such as fighting a tree spirt a troll, or a golem just click the object that triggers the event as much as possible with out the item that would procure you an item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course this is just a theroy and that brings me to the reason why i started this treed. I'm wonder if anyone else has had this happen to them and I want others to try it out if at all possible. Its just something that could prove to be useful to people wantin old men and genies to get items and exp if it proves to be ture, and of course if this is a problem then the tip.it community could always altert the jagex crew of it :)

hmm, it is interesting. ill have to try contsantly clicking on an npc while fighting it and see if i get ne genies or mime, that'd b cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and no, i dont think its the wrong board, ur discussing something about runescape so that puts it in the "discussions" part of the title.

ture so i'll edit the post and remove that. And I'm not sure if it works, but it seems to. We'll just have to wait for others to respond.

mmh intresting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i found out that training combat increases the chance for getting old man and mazes and mimes, and if u range u get genies a lot...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so if i click a black knight (i train at bks in lava maze) like 100X times wile training i get more events??, mmh i go try that right away :D

[Skanko]

yeah i was killing guards in ardougne, clicked a tree by mistake without an axe and got a tree spirit. so i suppose it is based on clicks so clicking more should give more chances to get events

[gadien01]

I only have evidence for clicking making random events happen faster for the events that center around fishing, mining, and chutting down trees. In other words getting trolls, tree spirts, and golems faster. I can't prove that clicking on more creatures will increase the apparance of old men and genies becuase clicking on a creature more then once doesn't appare to change or restart your attacking like clicking on a tree, rock, or fishing spot will make you restart that action. However, thats not to say clicking on a mob and then running and clicking on another one without killing them won't make those types happen faster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More research has to be done and with your help we can find out more about this. I tired it with giants recently and didn't notice any difference in attacking but thats not to say there wasn't because i was using a rune skimmy at the time. Perhaps with a slower weapon the difference will/may be noticed. More to come on this later ;)

[dargonhuman]

I dunno about that...I've had golems attack me on my first rock of the day while mining before. Random events are meant to be random; therefore, they will happen at random times to random people for random reasons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Darg--

[gadien01]

Yes they are meant to be random but what I'm saying is that you don't have to complete the action to get the random event. Also we all know that "random events" are primarily meant to stop autoers so its reason able to assume that the more repeated action that are done the better chance one has to get a random event. ThatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s what IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m saying. Normally it takes an avg of an hour of straight fishing, mining, or wood chopping in order to activate an event, but when I repeatedly click on trees without getting wood I got to tree sprits in the span of about 45 mins.

this is very intersting guys, im looking forward on getting my first mime peace..and if any one can give me a link on a proven mime theory ill be glad :D

[APERSON]

I've seen the tree ent thing happen a few times at the moss giants north of Ardougne. But I think the old man and genie happen no matter what you are doing. So they are completely random and nothing seems to really trigger them besides just being on. I doubt there is any real way to manipulate them like you're doing with ents and golems...

[LinovUSA]

Basicaly that means i will never get a mime lol. If i hvnt got a mime all this time and im lvl 84 combat :shock:

[supuh]

mimes appear while fletching and in combat. the same with mazes. all 3 of my mimes and both of my mazes appeared while i was in combat and got the opponent to hlafway health

[Sab128]

Yeah, I got a tree spirit and 2 ents from clicking tree by accident at the entrance to Ardy.

[lordrex]

Basicaly that means i will never get a mime lol. If i hvnt got a mime all this time and im lvl 84 combat :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i get like... far to many mimes and maces...

 

 

 

i ve been working this our, i train combat few ours a day, i get mimes and maces of MOM

 

 

 

i dont train combat, i get strange boxes of old man...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

never got mime or maze when i trained other stat tough

 

 

 

+ i think that those events are based on time + xp u get in game

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i train combat now for few days and it seems to me i get a event every 20-30 mins, i get like 2 mazes and 1 mime if i train combat 3 hours non stop (and this happens every day since i strart training combat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[limpxbizkid]

Basicaly that means i will never get a mime lol. If i hvnt got a mime all this time and im lvl 84 combat :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im f2p and i had to raise my combat about 9 levels (combat 69 up to 78) before i got my first mime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im still yet to try the comstantly clicking on npcs thing yet :? . i been afk-ing up to now

[Outsanity]

I always thought this was pretty darn obvious. I mean, think about it...do you ever get a random event where your axe head falls off DURING chopping? No...you get it right when you click. Since the random events ARE calculated by percentage of probability per click, if you click a hundred times, you have that much more of a chance of getting that event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Axe Head falls off, Spirits, and Ents are all based on clicking trees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pick axe Head falls off, steaming rocks, and golems are all based on clicking ores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mimes, Myserious Old Men, and genies are all fighting and/or random clicking based.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So if you click more, the game's calculator re-rolls that special die that determines them. So, if you have a 1% chance of getting a tree spirit, and you click 100 times, there's a chance ONE of those 100 clicks will get you a tree spirit. See?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again, I always thought this was just common sense. :roll:

[gadien01]

Yes that was obvious, but the fact that you don't need an axe, fishing gear, or pic to activate them is the instresting part.

[Crim_nimora]

I find the multi click on charectors to alter the attack but very slightly so that means it does increase our chances I also got a message saying "I'm already under attack" but only once

[katsuro0]

yeah i was killing guards in ardougne, clicked a tree by mistake without an axe and got a tree spirit. so i suppose it is based on clicks so clicking more should give more chances to get events

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as if we need more clicking in runescape :lol:

[shadowshow]

ya, i was in the goblin village once and of cource i was there just to do goblin genocide, but i accidently clicked on a tree and a tree spirit attacked me when i didnt have an axe, so i started doing that to minng places so i could kill the golems

[Sheik06]

So, that mean if i want a mine i should cut down tree and accidently cllick on monsters?
