Golden rock

A golden rock is an item required to build the Statue of Rhiannon in the Shattered Heart Distraction and Diversion. In order to start receiving the golden rocks, one must first toggle the ability by talking to Auron Ithell who is standing by a golden plinth in the Tower of Voices in Prifddinas.

The golden rocks can be added to the statue collection bag in the same way the strange rocks are. Unlike its strange rock counterpart, the statue can be built more than once per week.

Players require a skill level of at least 75 in all the skills listed below before they can start adding pairs of rocks to the plinth. Boosts do not work.

Although they are not restricted to only being found in Prifddinas, it is more likely to find one while skilling in a district of the city that has the Voice of Seren active. Note that when obtaining rocks, the amount of experience gained per action is irrelevant, incredibly minor experience gains have exactly the same chance to yield a rock as one that gives lots.

The motherlode maw in Prifddinas can also give a random golden rock.

Obtaining
A player can identify what skill a golden rock is by examining it. Also, the different skills' rocks have different appearances.

Note: Skilling in a clan citadel does yield golden rocks, along with using the appropriate portable skilling station.

Equipment
No special equipment is required to collect golden rocks; however the player can talk to Barnabus Hurma (or any of the other archaeologists within Varrock Museum), or the elf by the golden plinth, to receive a statue collection bag. This bag, if in your inventory or equipped, will automatically store any statue pieces a player gains from a skill activity (giving the message ""), and can be filled with your library of rocks.

When a player has two corresponding statue pieces in the bag, they may simply empty the bag and use the rocks on the statue base, or continue to collect further rocks until the bag is full - or anything in-between. The experience will be given at any time, until the last rock pair is ready. Thus, if a player needs that experience immediately to level, it can be received immediately. The player may also 'Look-in' the bag to check how many rocks have currently been collected.

If the player loses or drops the statue collection bag, the contents will also be lost, requiring the player to complete skill tasks to regain the rocks that were lost.

Rewards
Similar to the Dahmaroc statue, adding pairs of golden rocks gives experience in the related skill. Experience in combat skills may be allocated to Defence or Constitution instead.

The formula is $$Experience = 1.2x^2 - 2.4x + 120$$, where x is the skill level. This is 20% more than the experience from Shattered Heart.

Trivia

 * The statue collection bag was updated on the day of release to be able to store the golden rocks.
