Giant Oyster

The Giant Oyster is a members-only monthly Distraction and Diversion that is accessible upon completion of Beneath Cursed Tides. Players can play it to receive Fishing and Farming experience. The Giant Oyster cannot be reset with monthly distractions and diversions tokens. To begin Giant Oyster, speak to Wizard Myrtle, who can be found outside Wizards' Tower, to return to Tutorial Island. After doing the D&D, the Oyster and D&D interface show how many days there are left until the D&D can be done again when it's reset on the first of every month.

Gameplay

The player must obtain a sea cucumber and delicious seaweed and feed these to the Oyster, which is found in the cooking area of Tutorial Island.

A sea cucumber can be fished from the Fishing spot west of the Oyster. (Not shrimp, not marked on map, in kelp next to Oyster). When attempting to fish, the player will gain Fishing experience 30 times before finally catching a sea cucumber. The amount of Fishing experience gained depends on the player's Fishing level.

Delicious seaweed can be harvested from the Tasty looking seaweed patch north of the Oyster, near the Large Jellyfish. When attempting to harvest from the seaweed patch, the player will gain Farming experience 30 times before finally harvesting delicious seaweed. The amount of Farming experience gained depends on the player's Farming level. The amount of Farming experience gained from harvested seaweed is 1/3 of the amount of Fishing experience gained from fishing for a sea cucumber.

Bonus experience does apply to harvesting the delicious seaweed (farming) and sea cucumber (fishing).

If the Oyster is already closed (from feeding the previous month) the player will not receive the sea cucumber or delicious seaweed items, but will still gain experience from the fishing and farming activity. If the player gains the maximum monthly XP from these activities without receiving the items, they must then loot the Oyster before re-attempting to fish and/or pick seaweed. Once the Oyster is open, they can then harvest the missing item(s), but will not receive any additional XP for the action. It is not known if this is a bug; however, there is no effect in terms of XP or rewards if the player forgets to loot the Oyster first and has to re-attempt the farming or fishing activity.

After feeding the Oyster the delicious seaweed and sea cucumber, the Oyster will close.

Rewards

An example of the rewards obtained by looting the Oyster.

At the monthly reset, the closed Oyster is able to be opened. Looting the Oyster will reward the player with items from the clue scroll rewards table. While the rewards mechanic is similar to completing a treasure trail, the rewards cannot be re-rolled like those from a treasure trail clue scroll.

Trivia

• On 11 January 2016, a bug allowed players to repeatedly reset the oyster. This was patched within the hour. Players who abused the bug got bans and rollbacks, based on how much they abused the glitch.
