2009 Easter event

The Easter Bunny seems to have been around forever. Or has he? What makes him seem immortal? This Easter, calamity has once again befallen his factory, and he needs your help to solve the problem. As well as giving you the chance to fix some impressive machinery, and deal with some colourful (but less than helpful) characters, Splitting Heirs will also give our free players a taste of what it’s like to catch implings.This event revisits the past, so if you’ve played previous Easter events you’ll recognise the incubator from 2008 and the Easter Bird from 2006. Find out what makes the Easter Bunny tick, and you could also earn yourself a new fun weapon. So what are you waiting for? Go seek out the Easter Bunny! The Easter Bunny is back, however, he is now too old for the family "egg" business. He has left the business to his son, and his hare, Easter Bunny Jr. However, EBJ is the most lazy bunny you will ever meet and it is your duty to help him with the eggs!

The event is called Splitting Heirs



Where To Start
South of Falador, East of the crafting guild. Talk to the Easter bunny and he will ask you to enter the rabbit hole just west of where he's standing. You must have an empty inventory and no followers are allowed.

Completing The Tasks
Start by talking to the Easter Bunny who can be found south of Falador. He will say that when he was on holiday, his son made a mess of the egg factory. Ask "Can I help?" he will then offer to store your items on the bank. Enter the bunny hole to the south. You will turn into a bunny.

Walk slightly north, then west, then north. You will come to another Rabbit Hole. On the mini-map it will be the northernmost part of the cave you are in. it is lit like there is a light behind it. Climb through this.

Walk north into the second part of the cave. You will be in a cave where there are two impling jar spawns and a butterfly net spawn. Pick up 5 Impling Jars and a Net for use in the near future.

Walk west into a messy cave where Easter Bunny Jr is sitting at a desk. Talk to him, and he will ask you to complete his father's to-do list. To the north of his cave you will see an Incubator Blueprint. Pick this up for future use.

Walk east into the next cave. Right next to the entrance to Easter Bunny Jr's cave is a Noticeboard. Read this. It will show you what you have to do.

Next up, walk back into the main cave and talk to the Bird in the centre. Wake it up by clapping.

Talk to it, and it will tell you to feed it. It will also say what it wants. To the east of it, there are four sacks. Search each one, and you will find you have whichever type of seed it asked for.

Walk back to the Easter Bird and use the food it wants with it.

Now, walk north and you will see a place where you can get Water. Get yourself a Bucket of Water. Walk back to the bird and use the bucket of water with it. Now, talk to it.

It should now be able to lay eggs. Talk to Easter Bunny Jr, who appears.

Next you are asked to catch some implings. Go to the office and grab 5 impling jars and a net.

Now, walk to the cave section section were you will find 5 implings. Catch them all in your jars. And then use them with the painting machine to get them back to work.

Next, talk to Easter Bunny Jr, who appears.

Next you are asked to fix the incubator. But first you have to get the blueprints which is in Easter Bunny Jr`s room. You must find the parts of the incubator which are in different boxes. The boxes can be found all over the room, there are 3 groups of multiple boxes, and 2 single boxes.

Use the Gear, piston, and chimney on the main section (in that order). Use the soot pipe on the coal section, the wet pipe on the water section, and the normal pipe on the control section. The Easter Bunny Jr will be next to the water tank on the incubator.

He will then ask you to remove the vermin sleeping on the machinery, so talk to the south west of the incubator. Click "Look-at Nut machine," then click talk to Big Ben.
