Roddeck

Roddeck is a non-player character who gives players advice using the Advisor system. He also features in the tutorial quest, Unstable Foundations. He currently resides in Lumbridge, and can be found in the building directly north of the musician.

Roddeck can be talked to from anywhere, at any time, by clicking on the "question mark" button at the upper-right corner of the screen, or by clicking on the "question mark" button in the upper-right corner of the Objectives tab. This feature is similar to the NPC Contact spell in the Lunar Spellbook.



His advice is mostly useful for beginners. For example, one such piece of information explains to newer players how logs can be burned. Due to the 9 November 2009 updates Roddeck will no longer advise you to 'smelt' rune essence.

He was the leader of the mysterious group that ran the Cryptic Clue Fest for Thanksgiving 2009. He states that he "had too much time on his hands" and devised a series of clues for adventurers to follow. The "links in the chain" were caused by other NPCs reading his notes, has was forced to enlighten them on his plot.

It is possible that he is married, as there is a cheerful woman upstairs in his house, although no mention of Roddeck is made in conversation with her.

Roddeck was one of the first NPC's to be given a voice.

Trivia

 * When you speak to the woman on the 1st floor, she says what a nice day to visit us. The "us" could refer to Roddeck and the woman.
 * Strangely, the woman on the second floor comments on people ringing the Church Bell so often that she can't tell what time it is, but there is a grandfather clock beside her.
 * Roddeck may have 99 Summoning as he owned and raised the Red Dragon from Unstable Foundations, though he didn't seem to have nearly as much control over the dragon as players with 99 Summmoning do.
 * He is featured in the Cryptic Clue Fest II in 2010.
 * In dialogue chat with Roddeck about the Cryptic Clue Fest clues, there are no uses of an apostrophe.
