Revision as of 19:27, 4 March 2009
A Certer underwater.
The Certers are a random event. Miles, Niles, or Giles teleport a player to their office and present them with a rotating image of an item, and three possible choices of what it is. If a player correctly identifies the item, they will receive a Random event gift and are free to use the exit portal. An incorrect choice will result in the player's equipment and inventory being noted and the player being teleported to a random location.

Although this suggests that this random event would have been removed, it was only modified in the Random event update.
Before the Random event rework, one of the Certers appeared next to the player. The question window opened when talking to the certer. If ignored, he gave the player four warnings. If the player yet ignored him, he teleported the player to a random, relatively safe place and turned his inventory and equipment into bank notes. Some players considered this very annoying during combat.
Trivia
An example of a question asked by the certers.
- In RuneScape Classic, the Certers were employed in Draynor, converting fish (Niles), ore (Giles), or bars (Miles) into certificates. When the new RuneScape was introduced, the certers were removed from the game and replaced by the bank note system. Jagex released this random event as a reference to their old trade.
- When a player encounters a certer underwater, the certer will be wearing the same diving apparatus as the player.
- The certers used to only note items; however, players took advantage of this by dropping any items they wished to remain un-noted and then answering incorrectly, resulting in the certers noting their raw materials and allowing the player to carry more.
