Dice bag

A Dice bag contains dice. It can be purchased from Faruq in Al-Kharid for 10 coins, but it it does not work anymore, and will be removed from the game soon, due to complaints from "dice game" players (see below).

On November 15, 2011, the rolling feature of the dice was disabled, although the dice are still in the game for now, they will be removed next week. (See Recent Updates forum) When the player tried to roll the dice, they got a message saying, "This feature has been disabled".

Players could roll a dice in a friends chat or privately. There was an animation when a dice was rolled. Dice vary in colour depending on the number of sides they have.

Dice were used as a method for deciding what to do next with the result being linked to either an odd or an even number. It was common to utilise a standard 6-sided dice for this effect.

Originally the dice bag was to choose who would go first in the race.

In Faruq's Toolonomicon it says, 'The dice bag contains many kinds of dice. Use the bag to choose a dice and then roll for yourself or for your friends. You must put the dice away before you can place the bag in your bank.'

Players can choose the following from the bag:

Dice games
In the past, people would host dice games, where players bet their money that a roll of the two 10-sided dice would be higher or lower than a set number. However, these games were the very reason that Jagex disabled (and removed) the dice, as many dishonest players scammed others out of their money (though some were legit). Jagex stated that the dice were never really made for PvP gambling, and thus due to the amount of people relying on dice games to make (or take) money, they had to step in.

Trivia

 * You could not use the Dice bag at the Duel Arena, Grand Exchange, Banks, and many other areas. This was presumably Jagex's way of limiting gambling in potential hot spots before they disabled dice.
 * When rolling a percentile dice, the numbers go from 1 to 100, despite it being impossible to roll a 100 with exactly two dice. That is because the dice are treated as 0-9 and if both come 0 it is called 100.
 * The variety of dice in the dice bag is the same as that used in the game Dungeons and Dragons, as well as many other table top role-playing games. They are commonly referred to by the number of sides on the die, eg D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20.
