Pillory

The pillory is a random event. Players may be sent to the pillory by a pillory guard when using the Thieving skill.

The player must unlock the cage to escape, by clicking on the correct symbols.



It starts out with three locks; if a player misses, it resets and an additional symbol is added up to a maximum of five symbols.

When the pillory random is solved a reward is received. The only possible reward from this random is a Random event gift.

Before the 25/02/09 update, some players wouuld attempt to steal from stalls beyond their level. They wouldn't be able to steal, but were still able to get random events pertaining to stealing.

The pillory cages are located in Varrock east of the general store, in the western part of Seer's Village and slightly north of the bank in Yanille. While people are completing the event, the people outside can buy rotten tomatos from Pelter's Veg Stall, the crate located near the pillories, for 1 coin and throw them at the player, although this does not affect their progress.

Outside the pillory, the tramp, a non-player character, throws rotten tomatoes at the players inside.

Pillory feature
The pillory feature is a members only feature that allows a player to get into the pillory in a Free-to-play world. First, the player must go to a member's world and steal using the thieving skill until they get the pillory random event. If the player is teleported to the Varrock pillory, the player can then logout and world switch to a Free-to-play world. It is impossible to get into the Varrock pillory any other way. Free players also can throw rotten tomatoes at the player in the pillory.

Solving the pillory lock while on a free world will teleport the player to Lumbridge without a reward.

NOTE: February 25, 2009 Update, now made Pillory a F2P Random. The player needs to solve the lock & key puzzle to escape the random.
