Easter ring



The Easter ring (labeled as Ring of Egg in the Costume room of a player-owned house) was a reward for the 2006 Easter holiday event. From 10 April to 24 April bunnies buried Easter eggs (different from the 2002 and 2005 eggs) in the forest north of Varrock and near Falador. Players needed to find the mounds and dig up the eggs. When they found the blue magic egg with a bunny print on it and ate it, they would temporarily turn into a bunny. This gave the players the Rabbit hop emote. If they ate the egg over a hole, they would be able to enter the rabbits' warren, in the centre of which was a chute and a large pile of eggs. Players had to go up the chute and talk to the Easter bunny. After the player had given 10 eggs to the nearby children, the bunny would give them an Easter ring. When worn, this ring turns the wearer into a motley easter egg. Similarly to the Ring of Stone, the only actions a player may perform while being an egg is "Unmorphing" and/or talking. Poison damage and prayer drain are halted while morphed.

If a player loses the ring, a new one may be obtained from Diango in Draynor Village for free.

When a player attempted to wear the ring during the event, while in the event area (roughly from the Crafting Guild to Falador south gate) a message occurred, telling one can't morph into an egg, due to the concentration of Easter magic.

It has been said that if a player runs down a hill the egg tumbles down the hill. In actuality, if the player is running anywhere and morphs while running, the egg will roll for a brief period of time.

This ring has been one of the most popular Holiday Rewards because it is very similar to the Ring of Stone. Even today, you can still see some players playing with the Easter ring, although quite rare.

Some players use the Easter ring to their advantage when selling or buying items, as the "egg" grabs the attention of many players who are not familiar with it.

It is known that when you "wield" the ring, you don't actually equip it, as if you log out when morphed, the ring is not equipped when you log back in. Further supporting this theory, it cannot be taken into castle wars, which states that players cannot bring non-equipable items into the arena, even when a player "wears it". The Easter Ring can not be used during the middle of an emote - the text shown will be "You're a little busy showing off right now!" and the emote will continue.

Trivia

 * When a player unmorphs from being an egg, their Friend's List will open every time.
 * When a player drops an Easter ring, gets another one from Diango, and tries to pick up the original, the player will receive the message: You don't need another Easter ring...You already have one!

Glitches

 * With the release of the Easter ring came a glitch. Players could perform certain emotes while being an egg. One example was the Air Guitar emote. Players would morph into an egg, but quickly press the Air Guitar emote. Their egg would appear to have music notes coming from it. This glitch was also used with various skillcape emotes. (Main article: Egg emotes) This has since been fixed.
 * After the release of the Easter ring, players would morph into the egg as they were running, which would cause their egg to roll to their desired destination. This was removed a long time after the ring's release.
 * The Halo walk glitch allowed players to walk around with a circle beneath their feet. Players would have to use the Home Teleport spell, then as they would finish drawing the circle, click on the Easter ring, quickly unmorph back into a human (or click somewhere as if you were going to walk there), and then walk around.
 * Currently, when a player morphs over a fire, only fragments of the egg are visible. If players turn their camera just right, they will appear completely invisible. This glitch has not been removed by Jagex yet.
 * For a while after the Easter Ring was first released, players would not lose prayer points while being an egg, even while praying. This allowed the decorative icons for Protect from Magic, Missiles and Melee to appear permanently above the praying player while in egg form. The idea spread quickly and it was common to see groups of players all displaying their prayers consuming large amounts of the screen. This glitch has since been fixed.
