Bone brooch

The Bone Brooch was the winning item in the Guaranteed Content poll on the RuneScape website for the 2010 Hallowe'en event. It also appeared as an option in the Guaranteed Content poll of Halloween 2007; however, it lost to the Grim reaper hood.

The Bone Brooch was released to players on 18 October 2010, upon the completion of the Halloween event. The reward was chosen by players in a "Guaranteed Content Poll". It allows the player to morph into a pile of bones when worn. If a player attempts to equip it while in combat, they will get the message "During a battle is rarely the right time for fashion experiments." and will be unable to equip it. If a player is attacked while wearing it, they will automatically unmorph. As it is a holiday item, if lost it can be recovered by speaking to Diango.

Trivia

 * The log-out cross in the top-right hand corner of the screen does not show when you have morphed into the bones.
 * Bone_Brooch.gifrs can morph while running and, since they are not completely within a square, will suddenly shift forwards. In some cases, the pile of bones will even glide backwards and forwards. This particular instance usually happens when changing directions while running, then activating the brooch.
 * there are a few places where one can't transform:
 * When you try to wear the brooch whilst using an emote there's a message saying "You're a little busy showing off right now."
 * When you are stunned while thieving and attempt to activate the bone brooch while you are stunned, a message appears in your chatbox stating that you cannot transform while being bound by magic.
 * If a player tries to morph while battling, a message saying "During a battle is rarely the right time for fashion experiments." will show up on their message box.
 * If trying to morph into a pile of bones during a game of the Great Orb Project, the chatbox will say "You're here to collect orbs, not turn into bones."
 * The brooch may not be taken into the Fist of Guthix arena.


 * If a player approaches a non-aggressive NPC, attacks it, then immediately morphs, the player appears to have bones falling out of them. This glitch can also be performed by "whacking" another player (with the rubber chicken or easter carrot) and quickly morphing.
 * Unlike the ring of stone, which has a similar transformation effect, the brooch cannot be used from the Worn Equipment interface.
 * If you try to turn to bones while pedaling at blast furnace, a message appears in your chatbox saying you don't think you could pedal effectively if you were just bones.
 * It is possible to teleport as a pile of bones if the player quickly morphs, switches to the worn equipment tab, and right clicks any teleport jewelry. The jewelry's right click menu should stay open even while the player is in bone form. This works for most teleport jewelry - e.g. cabbage-port, the amulet of glory, etc.
 * If one transforms into a pile of bones, then rapidly clicks an emote, they turn back into a human without the long transformation back.
 * If a player is wielding a Toy Kite and morphs into a pile of bones, the kite will be temporarily still and hanging in the air without a wielder, before disappearing. The kite will also appear hanging in the air during the reverse animation.
 * If morphing while wielding certain weapons, such as a sling, the weapon will be pointing outwards, like a sword.
 * On the day of the event, every emote that has something spawn out of nowhere (Freeze Puppet Master Zombie Hand etc) has a white flash before it, it is unknown whether this will be fixed, or if its a graphics glitch in the game for processing all the spiders and everything in Grim's House.
 * While wielding a staff or other long weapon, like a halberd, while switching back, it appears to go through the player.
 * If one tries to report another player while using the brooch, the message "Please close the interface you opened before activating 'Report Abuse'" will appear.
 * When opening the equipment screen, although the Bone brooch is worn-and there is the option to wear it, you get a message in your chat box saying that the Bone brooch can't be worn. This is because the Bone brooch is never actually worn, clicking on wear simply transforms you.
 * There is a glitch where you can move for a short distance before stopping as a pile of bones.
 * There is a glitch when you cabbage port and repeatedly click the bone brooch, you will turn into bones instead of coming out of the cabbage.
 * It is easy to tell the difference between a player using the bone brooch againt an actual pile of bones because the bone brooch adds on a skull as well to the bones.
 * Many have claimed that it is impossible to turn into a pile of bones whilst having squirrel followers. This has now been proved not true.
 * Although the main option for the brooch is to wear it, quickly changing to your worn items after activating doesn't show the brooch. Also, if you "Wear" it, no other item is swapped out if completely equipped.
