One of a Kind

One of a Kind is a grandmaster quest chronicling the study of Hannibus, a dragon rider, by Mr. Mordaut and the uncovering of Robert the Strong's lost library.

It is notable for having significant quest requirements, being less straightforward and featuring lots of travelling; characteristics which saw a decline throughout 2012 and 2013. In the final quarter of 2013, Mod Raven created several threads on the forums, asking about people's views on quest requirements and which elements of While Guthix Sleeps people most enjoyed, which were subsequently incorporated into One of a Kind.

Walkthrough
Speak to Mr. Mordaut at the Varrock Museum. He says that he seeks out information on the history of the dragonkin and has uncovered the final journal of Hannibus, the Dragon Rider. This journal may give information about the current location of Hannibus. He gives you the journal in which Hannibus describes how he has been hunted by the witch Enakhra who is collecting petrified trophies for Zamorak. Hannibus has been hiding in a cave but has now decided to travel far away to throw Enakhra off his scent, leaving his dragon behind.

Mordaut believes that Enakhra was able to curse Hannibus, turning him into a statue, but that Enakhra was never able to deliver it to Zamorak. Robert the Strong had found a strange statue and taken it to his library for study. The problem is that the location of the library is unknown. Suggest that Bob the Cat may know something, since he is the reincarnation of Robert the Strong.

Trivia

 * The Chaos Elemental Note 13 hinted at the quest's release in late 2013. This was the only hint about the quest before the February 2014 Behind the Scenes.
 * When revealed during the February 2014 Behind the Scenes, One of a Kind was said to require 79 Magic, 74 Summoning and 67 Dungeoneering. Mod Raven later corrected this on the forums.
 * The Celestial dragon was the one chosen by players as the one they wanted in the game in a January 2014 Power to the Players poll, beating alchemical, gemstone and gold dragons.
 * One of a Kind is the first quest to feature the Divination skill as a requirement.
 * The quest was originally intended to be released in February 2014, but was postponed until March due to technical difficulties. According to Mod Jack, quests that are not confined to one location but take you all over the world are "intrinsically more complex to develop and test", which he states as being the reason for the delay.
