Broomstick

A Broomstick is an item given by Maggie in Swept Away, the 2008 Hallowe'en event quest. She asks players to enchant it by bringing it to three witches: Hetty in Rimmington, Aggie in Draynor Village, and Betty in Port Sarim. Note that Hetty does not enchant the broom, but gives the Broom ointment so that players may enchant it themselves. Also, when weilding a broomstick, your character appears to be slightly taller.

The broomstick can be wielded in the Weapons slot and gives no bonuses whatsoever. In addition, the broomstick may be used to sweep just like any other broomsticks. To do this, players simply have to use the "Sweep" option.

Upgrading the broomstick


When the broomstick "Operate" option is used in the Equipment window, a message will tell players that they have not learned how to operate this item.

However, the broomstick can be upgraded on a Members' world by taking it to the Sorcerer's apprentice in South East Al Kharid. After this, Members may use the broomstick to teleport to the Sorceress's Garden by operating it. Like most teleports it does not work past level 20 wilderness.

Trivia

 * Many players dislike how the broomstick is laid out. To be able to teleport, they have to weild the broomstick which requires the player to right click, then switch to "Equipment" and operate the broomstick, which requires another right click.


 * In 2007, the broomstick came in second in the polls, after the Grim Reaper hood to vote which reward would be given after doing the Halloween event.
