Glitch/Item


 * This page pertains to Item glitches, a specific type of glitch. For glitches in general, see Glitch.

An Item Glitch is a fault in the game programming that affects an item or items in an unexpected way. Many item glitches are listed below.

'''NOTE: All glitches listed on this page have been fixed by Jagex. Please do not list any glitches that haven't been fixed yet.'''

Godsword Duplicating Glitch
Right after the release of Item Lending, a player was able to lend a Godsword to another player and have that player dismantle it and log out. The lender would then have the Godsword returned to he or she, and the player who dismantled the Godsword would still have the dismantled parts. This was fixed approximately an hour after it was discovered.

Magic Carpet Stilts Glitch
If a player wore the Audience male shoes or the Trousers (a reward from Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza) while riding a magic carpet, it looked like the shoes/trousers were getting pulled to the ground through the carpet. This glitch was discovered on 18th October 2008. This also happened with various other items.

Crazy Head and Crazy Hand Glitch


The Crazy head glitch was a glitch that was released with the quest Smoking Kills. If a player's character was female, had the "long" hair style, and was wearing the masked earmuffs headgear, their head would stretch all over the place when performing emotes or holding objects such as the pet rock. Some players discovered it just after the quest arrived when they performed random emotes with that combination. This glitch had been known to happen with several hair styles and head-gear combinations. This also happened if a player's character was female and was wearing Snakeskin v'braces, and did the "clap" emote. Their hands would be waving back and forth.

The Arm Glitch
This glitch would happen whenever a female were to wear snakeskin vambraces and anything with long sleeves would make this glitch more effective. Once the player would do the glitch the player's arms would stretch a little bit too far.

Guthix Rest Tea Glitch
The Guthix Rest Tea Glitch was discovered in the One Small Favour quest. This tea instantly restored 100% of your hitpoints when a player drank it. It was only supposed to boost the maximum hitpoints if a player was at full health. This glitch was abused to win duels at the Duel Arena and to PK without dying.

The glitched tea has the following effects:


 * Cure from poison
 * Restore some run energy
 * Boost max hitpoints by 5 if at full health.

Saradomin Sword Glitch
This glitch happened when a player wielded a Saradomin sword and wore a Team 23 Cape. It made the bottom of the sword connect to the cape.

Invisibility Glitch
This glitch was performed while wearing clothing rewarded from Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza. Players using this glitch could cause certain parts of their character to become invisible. To do this, players must have worn any piece of the Audience costume, then changed their gender at the Make-over mage. This glitch was fixed on September 29, 2008. If the player attempt to change his gender with the Circus clothes, the makeover mage will ask the player to remove the clothing first since it will "interfere with his/her magic".

Prince Outfit Glitch


This glitch was first discovered on November 15, 2008. The glitch was triggered by wearing a Prince outfit in a Player-owned house along with Boxing gloves. It seemed as though if the player dragged his or her outfit up with their boxing gloves. It was basically the same appearance as the Dorgeshuun crossbow special attack glitch (see top of page), except that the prince outfit was pulled up, not the skin, and it happened on both sides.

Satchel and H.A.M. Cloak Glitch
When wearing at least a Red satchel with a H.A.M Cloak, they stretched and connected to each other.

Face Disaperance Glitch
Whilst wearing the Lederhosen Hat and talking to an NPC, the top part of the player's head would vanish. When talking with the Tyras Helm, the player would appear as if they are missing their mouth.

Dropping A Members Object
On January 16, 2009 there was a glitch where you couldn't drop a Members Object. There were only two options to choose, use and examine. The only way to lose a Members Object that day was to get skulled and die or have an item of greater value. This glitch was fixed the next day.

Wearing Cabbage Glitch
During the 2009 April fools event, players wielding a cabbage in a crowded place (for instance the Grand Exchange or the Party Room) would appear to be wearing the cabbage instead, as the normal wield stances are changed. This occurs with all weapons when the screen changes to "low detail" when more than 50/200 people are in the game screen (depending on your display settings) This glitch is known to occur with other weapons such as kites (which appear to be strung in mid-air).

PvP Potential Glitch
This Glitch happened when players summoned a Beast of Burden Summoning Familiar and stored high value items in it, after this they would log out and then log into a PvP F2p world, die 15-20 times fooling the system into thinking they died that amount of times with the value of the stored Summoning familiar's items. Players would then log into a Members PvP world and kill players, resulting in high value drops caused by the drop potential system. A player reported to have received 2 Dragon Full Helmets, 2 Fury Amulets and a Dragonfire Shield in 15 minutes using this method.

This Glitch was discovered by a player on April the 12th 2009 (Easter Sunday) and is fixed as of April 13. It is not yet known if it was possible since the release of PvP worlds or since the 2009 Easter Event release.
