Random event gift

The Random event gift is obtained from Random events as a reward for correctly solving a random event. It was released with the Random event update on 25 February 2009.

Upon opening the box, members are given a choice of 6-14 random items to choose from. Non-members are given a choice of 4-11 items to choose from. All existing Frog tokens that players had prior to the update were turned into Random event gifts as well, even if they should be in a bank of a former member whose bank space has been locked. The converted gifts can be withdrawn and restored at will, though attempting to bank newly gotten gifts will simply result in: "A magical force prevents you from banking this item."

The box is also considered an all-in-one toolkit as it has many resources, most of which are used in quests. Attempting to open the box during combat will result in, "You won't be able to choose a reward during combat."

If you have a full inventory upon completing the random event, the gift will appear on the ground beneath you: "A random event gift has been placed on the ground for you to take!"

When players have confirmed their selection a message in the chatbox says: Enjoy your gift.

Special rewards

 * Mystery box
 * Book of knowledge

 * Loop half of a key
 * Tooth half of a key

Notes:
 * The best reward depends on the player's choice. Most players pick the experience lamp or book of knowledge to save money in an expensive skill. However, if money is a priority, the half of a key, gems, or herbs are the most profitable.


 * The number of each item a player is offered seems to depend on their total level. This is most easily seen with coins, where the amount offered is equal to a third of their total level, rounded down.


 * Players who choose the Costume point award will receive a message telling them to go to Thessalia's Fine Clothes in Varrock and talk to Iffie for their reward.


 * If players do not have space in their inventory, the box will be dropped on the ground. You must simply drop an item, and pick it up. It will be right where you were standing when you were warped.


 * The random emote or costume unlocked will coincide with the random event - you cannot, for example, use costume points from the Frogs random event to obtain Mime costume parts.


 * If you choose to get a new emote while already having all the emotes from that particular random, it will say: "You've already unlocked all the ... emotes. Please choose something else."


 * Only the Surprise Exam! random event can give Book of knowledge, others give Lamps.


 * Quiz master random event does not give Lamp as a reward option.

Trivia

 * If you choose a Lamp as your reward, the discontinued random event Genie pops up to give you your lamp.
 * Players are unable to bank Random Event gift boxes and Lamps. Message: "A magical force prevents you from banking this item." The only known time Players could have them in their banks was to have had Frog Tokens banked before the update and thus, turn into Random Event gift boxes.

 * The Items Kept on Death value is 100 coins.
 * Many players disliked the release of the random event gift because if they got e.g. the Gravedigger random event they would have to choose if they wanted a costume point or an emote. Prior to the random event gift a player would automatically receive a random piece of an event costume, corresponding to the event done, or one emote.
 * It is not recommended to choose the Random Gift option as this usually results in a dunce item like a bucket or a cabbage.
 * When given the choice to receive a half of a key, the box puts it under the category of 'Gems', as the half of the key is part of the crystal key, and crystals are considered gems apparently. Perhaps this is because you will always get a dragonstone from the crystal key chest.
 * The random event box weighs 2 kg, although the items you find in the box may weigh more, and will certainly, when all added together, weigh more.
 * The Bucket and Cabbage are seen as the 'unlucky' items from a mystery box. If a player receives one of these items, a message will appear in your chat box saying "You received a Cabbage/Bucket! Better luck next time!
 * In contrast to the Cabbage and Bucket rewards, any other gift you may receive will place a message in the chat box, saying "You received a Diamond! Congratulations!", or "You received a Diamond! Excellent!" (Diamond used for an example)
