Toy kite



The dragon kite is obtainable by talking to Diango in Draynor Village, for 100 coins. The Dragon Kite was released as an April Fool's joke by Jagex on 1 April, 2008, giving players the impression they were buying Dragon Kiteshields, similar to the Dragon plate and Cabbage Attack April Fool's pranks from previous years.



According to Diango, a huge shipment of dragon kites were ordered exactly one year ago, but was delayed, leaving him thinking they were never going to arrive and someone was playing a joke on him. He will also explain, when asked how he got so many, that there was an offer of 'Buy 1, Get 1000 free' which Diango felt was too good of an offer to pass up. He refers to the price as a bargain and when purchased, cautions players not to "get carried away!"

If the 'Wield' option is chosen, the kite will float along side of a player.

If the 'Fly' option is chosen the player will appear, for a short time, to be flying the kite in a strong wind.

Players can also click 'Operate' for the same purpose.





The kite is worn at the weapon slot, you can now:
 * Attack mode: Your character will "Body check" your opponent.
 * Strength mode: Your character will "Kick" your opponent.
 * Defence mode: Your character will "Body check" your opponent.

All while holding the kite.

Glitches
For an unusual item, there's got to be some bugs in this seemingly wonderful item. Not everyone gets it perfect. The Kite suffers from a few glitches.

For example:



If a player faces a window (they have to be right in front of it) and activate the kite emote, the window will disappear (and part of the player) until the emote is finished. When doing the 2008 Easter Egg emote it will do the same thing,

While crossing a log while carrying the kite, the kite will appear flying at the player's arm.



If a player uses an underground tunnel shortcut while wielding the kite, it will be unanimated, and phase through the wall above where they are.



Also, if a player performs the "Zombie hand" emote, the kite will just float unanimated, and not be attached to the player's arm as a normal weapon would.

If a player wields the kite while walking around the Brimhaven Agility Arena, the kite will float around when crossing various obstacles.

Also, if a player casts lumbridge home teleport and then operates the flag, the ring that you draw at the start of the spell stays around you for a short duration of time. If a player gets up to the point where they are sitting and holding the book, then they operate the flag, they will keep the book at their feet for a short aount of time

Also in the Pinball random event, the kite will float when touching a pillar.
