Drop trick

The Drop trick is a technique used to gain multiple items that can normally be obtained only once. These items will not be awarded to the player if they are already in the player's bank account, house, or inventory, or in some cases, dropped where they stand.

The drop trick involves repeating the action that first obtained an item.


 * 1) If a player already owns the item, they may take it with them.
 * 2) Players can then drop the item while at the place where they can obtain another of that item.
 * 3) A player then must perform the procedure necessary to obtain the item.
 * 4) If the player wants more than one copy of that item, they can drop the new item as well, and repeat the process until they have as many as they want.

Limitations
A player's only limit is the amount of time a dropped item remains visible before disappearing. Once the time limit is reached (two minutes), the dropped items begin disappearing as fast as a player can obtain new ones.

One method of getting around this is to take the items to the bank and note them (if they can be noted).


 * A player must then repeat the creation process above, dropping the noted form of the item prior to gaining more.


 * They can then return to noted form as many as they wish, thus obtaining an infinite amount of items.

Another method will work if the item is able to be traded on the Grand Exchange.


 * By putting the items for sale, the items are no longer in the players possesion


 * The creation process above can then be followed


 * This has the drawback that the items might sell while in the Grand Exchange


 * If the item costs more to create than Grand Exchange allows you to sell then this method could be disastrous.

Additional Information
Multiple Capes of Accomplishments could be bought using the drop trick; however, the 20 October update has made this unnecessary.

As RuneScape continues to get updated, adding new quest items/rewards, Holiday Rewards, activity reward items, etc., it appears as though Jagex is making more and more of these items with only destroy options and with no drop option making the drop trick obsolete.

Warnings

 * Some items are immediately destroyed when dropped. Players cannot perform the drop trick with these items. If any player is unsure of whether or not an item will be destroyed when dropped, they can check its article in this wiki (e.g., the Ectophial.)
 * One risk is that while doing the drop trick, a random event may teleport the player elsewhere, and the items may have disappeared before the player can return.
