Submarine



Submarines are a hidden update that occurred on 27 May 2009 in which periscopes started appearing around some parts of the RuneScape coastline. At times the periscope is submerged, so players may have to wait before it appears above the surface of the water. It is reported that the periscopes are easier to be seen in Standard Detail, as it is shown as a dark shadow. Currently, the periscopes cannot be examined.

Confirmed locations

 * Catherby - may be seen from Entrana
 * Port Sarim
 * Ship Yard
 * Port Khazard

Building a yellow submarine
There was a poll of what players thought penguins were doing, one of the top answers being "Building a yellow submarine." It is possible that the submarine could be related to a new penguin quest (such as a sequel to Cold War), or miniquest.

Wise Old Man
Another suggested theory is that the Wise Old Man has some sort of involvement with the recent submerging of the submarines. This is because of the yellow submarine model the Wise Old Man possesses in his house.

The Red Raktuber
In the Letters to the Chaos Elemental, the Chaos Elemental made mention of The Red Raktuber, which is similar in name to the Red October (October and Raktuber both being months of a calendar), a submarine, which is the focus of the novel The Hunt for Red October, which may hint as to how events will pan out in an future quest, or may simply be the name of the submarine or quest.

KGP Agent
The following is the conversation between a player and the KGP Agent using the NPC Contact spell.

Trivia

 * The yellow submarine may be a reference to the Beatles' song Yellow Submarine.
