'''Mysterious''' is an [[Invention]] [[perk]] whose effect is a random buff or debuff that is either applied to the player or the monster or a resource. To the player, you gain increased damage or critical chance. Monsters receive decreased defence or maximum hit. For resources, faster chance at gaining the raw material, or a decreased chance. The amount that is buffed or debuffed is so minuscule, that is isn't worth it for mid to high level players. It can be created in [[weapon gizmo|weapon]], [[armour gizmo|armour]], and [[tool gizmo]]s.

  • After he left Jagex, he posted one more hint on Twitter stating that the perk triggers under the same circumstances as other perks, and when it does, it rolls a number between 0 and 19, which is then compared to the perk's rank.[3]
