2008 Easter event

The 2008 Easter event started on March 18, 2008, and is still going on. Players are rewarded a chocatrice cape, among other things, for completing it.

Starting
Players have to make their way south of Falador towards Rimmington to the Easter Bunny's rabbit hole. To start the event, players had to shout down into the hole.

Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Bunny will ask the player to first run around Port Sarim, Falador, and Rimmington to find 3 chocolate eggs.

The eggs are confirmed to be located in at least the following places: (there are at least 9; you only need 3).


 * 1) Port Sarim on a barrel on the boat to Karamja
 * 2) In the middle of Rimmington mine on a wheelbarrow
 * 3) The second floor of the party room, at the bar
 * 4) The second floor of Draynor's Wise Old Man's house, on a book shelf
 * 5) In gem store in Falador, on the counter
 * 6) On a rock northeast of Port Sarim near the stone wall
 * 7) On the Mysterious Statue west of the Port Sarim fishing store
 * 8) On the outstretched hand of the Saradomin Statue to the north of Falador
 * 9) Furnace in Falador

Making the Chocatrice
After you have found the 3 eggs, you have to return them to the Easter Bunny.He will tell you that the critters have eaten the chocolate, and that he needs to make more eggs with the eggs you have brought him. So, he asks you to dip a Cockatrice Egg into the large bowl of 'Molten Chocolate' (resembling chocolate pool), to receive a Chocatrice Egg. You then have to incubate the egg, using coal, water and a dial. You have to adjust the temperature to match the blue arrow on the dial - if it is not quite on the mark, then a step the other way and back should bring it in.

Buckets are available, but are not kept afterwards. The incubator may be pre-loaded with 12 buckets of coal and 12 of water, and this should be enough to complete incubation if no mistakes are made.

Once the egg has hatched, it will run away into the Southern-Warren.

JACOB BURNS, YOURE A GAY LITTLE MOFO

Getting the Chocolate chunks
Speak to the Easter Bunny, he will tell you that the hole to get in is small, and you need to be transformed into a Bunny to get through. Once you're a bunny, enter through the hole, you will have a conversation with your Chocatrice, and then you move through the tunnels, turning things to Chocolate. Your Chocatrice has to be able to see the creature you want to turn to chocolate, or your attempts will fail! Once you have 12 Chocolate chunks, work your way back through the tunnels, speak to Easter Bunny, become a Human, and then put your chunks into the mixer.

Event Complete!

Note: After completing the event, if you haven't unlocked the Bunny Hop Emote yet. talk to the Easter Bunny after getting your cape. He will say that if you collect 10 more chocolate chunks, he'll give you an extra special reward. Once you collect the chunks, turn them into chocolate, and you'll have unlocked the Bunny Hop.

Music
Music unlocked: Bittersweet Bunny

Glitch
There was also a glitch that occurred in several worlds which prevented players from entering the rabbit hole after obtaining the 3 eggs. The majority of the players in those worlds believed that only one person was allowed down the hole at a time. However, for some reason the only solution was to be killed, which did something, and be able to participate by going into the hole.

Rewards
The rewards are:


 * 1) For 12 chunks - The chocatrice cape
 * 2) If you have not unlocked the bunny hop emote, for 10 chunks you will get the bunny hop emote
 * 3) 8 chunks - A chocolate egg
 * 4) 6 chunks - A second chocolate egg
 * 5) 4 chunks - A third chocolate egg
 * 6) (Note: If you add more chunks to the chocolate mixer, you will receive a message that says: The Easter Bunny beams down at you as you helpfully bolster his chocolate stockpile.

In order to get all rewards you will need a total of 30 chunks. If you do not have bunny hop emote, you will need a total of 40 chunks.

When you Operate the Chocatrice cape, you will do the Giant Easter Egg emote.

When you go into the hole and there is a lot of players there is a chance your character will disappear but you still can finish everything.

Trivia
When trying to interact with a Chocatrice that is not yours, you would get a message that said "This is not the chocatrice you are looking for." This is an adjusted quote from Star Wars: A New Hope, which originally said "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
