Strange box


 * The strange box is not to be confused with the mystery box, another random event item.

The strange box is an item given to you by the Mysterious Old Man. When opened, it will present the player with a puzzle; they must pick which shape holds which number, or vice versa, on a spinning box. Upon completing this puzzle the player will receive coins, gems (Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, or Diamond) or a half key.

Ignoring the strange box will result in spawning of even more strange boxes. The strange box only stacks when there are no available spaces for it to spawn another box into. Casting high or low alchemy on the box, dropping it, or banking it also causes another box to spawn.

If you get it just as your inventory fills up (no room for the box) the old man will show the text of giving the box (It's all yours), but will teleport you to a maze.

Trivia

 * The strange box used to be a colour-based random event; for example, it may ask "Which shape is red?" or "What colour is the square?". This was changed because colour-blind people were not able to complete the event.
