Easter carrot



The Easter carrot is a holiday reward from the 2009 Easter event, received upon its completion. When equipped, it gives the option to whack another player, which makes you appear to hit the other player with the huge carrot. However, it has large negative attack bonuses, making it almost impossible to damage players, npcs or monsters. If you whack someone in Castle Wars, a message will appear saying: "They don't have the enemy flag."

This weapon was popular for building up PvP drop potential. Two players who trust each other and are around the same combat level may attack each other in a Hot Zone with the carrot while carrying 25k+ wealth. This makes sure neither of them will lose health and they can't be attacked by another player (assuming it's not multi-combat). A update made the drop potential stay the same when using this technique.

The animations of the Easter carrot (Running, Attacking, Defending, etc) are the same as the animations of the Ivandis flail. It is similar in statistics and function to the rubber chicken (which was released in the 2005 Easter event). There use to be a glitch that is now fixed. Just like with the rubber chicken, whacking other players too many times will cause the player to 'fumble' the Easter carrot and automatically drop it on the ground with a message saying "You drop your carrot on the floor!" Now the carrot is still available to pick it up from the ground.

It is not possible to destroy the carrot, such as with most holiday items, the player drops the carrot instead. If a carrot is dropped, the player may obtain another one from Diango. If you drop the carrot, you can get another from Diango, but you will be unable to take the one on the ground, as it will say, "You don't need another carrot. You already have one!"

The examine text is "Spreading carroty goodness since 2009", making it one of the few items in RuneScape that have a reference to the real life date.

It may also be stored in a toy box in a player-owned house. Due to its statistics, damaging an opponent is incredibly rare. It is even rare to damage a rat.

When dropped, the Easter Carrot appears to be half sunk into the ground.

Trivia



 * When whacking another player and using an emote during the action, the animation of the emote will appear but the player will stand still. The emotes are Blow Kiss, Explore, Safety First, Trick, Freeze, Idea, and Around the World in Eggty Days. This can also be done by operating an item such as the Chocatrice cape or the Reindeer hat.


 * When you whack another player (with the big easter pinis) and Freeze it, it will cause you to stay still and the ice to melt, freeze and break under you!


 * When whacking a player, if you quickly switch to an any weapon and right-click on another player, the Whack option will still be there. If you click on the whack emote with a weapon, you do nothing.


 * When a player attempts to hit another player with the Easter Carrot, the sound effect when whacking is slightly faster than the emote itself.
