Bone brooch



The Bone Brooch was the winning item in the Guaranteed Content poll on the RuneScape website for the 2010 Hallowe'en event. It also appeared as an option in the Guaranteed Content poll of Halloween 2007; however, it lost to the Grim reaper hood.

The Bone Brooch was released to players on 18 October 2010, upon the completion of the Halloween event. The reward was chosen by players in a "Guaranteed Content Poll". It allows the player to morph into a pile of bones when worn. If a player attempts to equip it while in combat, they will get the message "During a battle is rarely the right time for fashion experiments." and will be unable to equip it. If a player is attacked while wearing it, they will automatically unmorph.

Trivia

 * The log-out cross in the top-right hand corner of the screen does not show when you have morphed into the bones.
 * Bone_Brooch.gifrs can morph while running and, since they are not completely within a square, will suddenly shift forwards. In some cases, the pile of bones will even glides backwards and fowards. This particular instance usually happens when changing directions while running, then activating the brooch.
 * This item can be found particularly useful when Player-killing, specially on the Wilderness, as you can blend easily with your surroundings and possibly make a surprise attack on an unexpecting player.
 * When you try to wear the brooch whilst using an emote there's a message saying "You're a little busy showing off right now."
 * It was possible to morph while in combat. You had to up to a non-agressive NPC and attack it then immediately morph after attacking and you would appear to have bones falling out of you. Combing this with a skeletal costume and you would appear to be a zombie falling apart. This glitch has since been fixed and when trying to morph in combat it now says 'During a battle is rarely the right time for fashion experiments'.
 * Unlike the ring of stone, which has a similar transformation effect, the brooch cannot be used from the Worn Equipment interface.
 * When you are stunned while thieving and attempt to activate the bone brooch while you are stunned, a message appears in your chatbox stating that you cannot transform while being bound by magic.
 * If you try to turn to bones while pedaling at blast furnace a message appears in your chatbox saying you don't think you could pedal effectivelly if you were just bones.
 * It is possible to cabbage-port as a pile of bones if you morph and right-click quickly on the explorer ring. Once you fully transform, the right-click menu for the explorer ring remains open.
 * You can't log out if you are morphed.
 * When you unmorph, your friend list is shown before switching to the inventory.
