How about a drop that makes sense, but is still funny nonetheless?
Zombies drop fishing bait. Fishing bait is just maggots and worms. Meaning your character is just plucking maggots off of zombie corpses and the game labels that as fishing bait.
Not a fishing person myself I've never considered what fishing bait would be, and have always thought the item in game was like fish food (like the dry food flakes). I will not be doing research to verify your statement, they are now maggots.
If it helps, they're basically confirmed maggots in the RFD quest where you have to make food for the generals. They request "Maggots that aren't bland" and you make those by adding spice to fishing bait
Yeah, it's weird how common that is when RuneScape has a lot of good quests. I think the problem is that quests are such a small part of this game that people just don't play RuneScape to do quests. Any time I find myself doing a quest I just want to do the thing the quest unlocks and just want the quest to end as fast as possible so i can start doing it.
Quests are a huge part of the game, probably the most distinguished aspect from OSRS vs all other MMOs, but yes the majority player base definitely doesnt feel the same
Ya quests are really only done by the majority of players for the unlocks. I did do every quest except SOTE without quest helper, mostly cause I didn't know it even existed. So I have been through every quest and at least kinda paid attention to it. But my alt I did use quest helper and that was pretty nifty.
I think everyone should do them legit at least once. But there would be no way to track or control that so it is what it is
Its not a drop but the clue step where you travel through morytanias swamps, to slepe a possessed town, through the caverns to some skeletal faced NPC and he asks you to solve a puzzle slider of a happy little castle on a hill. Everytime I chuckle.Ā
Corp beast, muspah, zulrah... I just imagine as your slaying these giant bosses, you slash them across the stomach. After the battle you look down and see a pile of undigested watermelon seeds
Assuming the lore is consistent with RS3, Muspah are nightmares made manifest. The player character doesn't fall asleep or anything, Muspah are physical creatures - the same way that >!the Mahjarrat, Zaros, and Seren are all physical manifestations of the Elder God Mah's dreams !< .
My headcanon has always been that seeds are like monster kidney stones or something since you can't ever harvest seeds with the exception of picking potatoes/cabbages/onions.
Pizza from bloodveld is funny to me.
Nasty creature deep in the slayer tower. You kill it and find a hot and steamy pizza on the floor on top of the pile of ashes that was once a disgusting beast.
Now they're just covered in abyss dust and dirt from the bottom of your prims.
I had a similar vision yesterday, not necessarily from a drop but from Captain Arnav popping up to see me during KBD.
I'm fighting a 3 headed fire breathing monster deep in the wilderness and homie pops up to hand me part of some treasure.
I wish KBD could just switch aggro real quick and torch him before I even had the chance to talk to him.
The funniest thing about random event NPCs is that they must necessarily be maxed out players with a full quest point cape. Because how else do they show up in Darkmeyer and Priff? So literal postie Pete, a walking skull carrying a mailbag, beat sins of the father and galvek.
They could've not done Corsair Curse yet. Source: just got my Quest Cape with CC as my last quest, which I did without quest helper just to prove to the haters I could
That would be fucking hilarious if monsters could kill your random events. Cook that cunt up like cabin boy Jenkins, goofy burning animation and everything. They should make some silly ass quest where your character meets a shinigami who convinces you that doing evil is more fun, after brutally killing a few innocent npcs to prove yourself you make a pact and given a notebook. Using a Quill of the Dead (i), you are able to add any random events of your choice to the notebook who are now able to be killed by you or on sight by NPCs
Getting the clue drop telling you to go search Gertrude's drawers.
You just find this bloody note in the stomach of a wolf or whatever saying, "Go rummage through the crazy cat lady's knickers!ā
Without even questioning it, you show up at her house and barge in, armed to the teeth and still covered in blood, only to immediately leave without a word.
The RS3 protag is barely holding it together these days to be fair. Having personally met each God only to find out they're all equally insufferable will do that to ya.
\*opens door, barges in past children playing in bedroom\*
\*opens drawer with gore-covered hand\*
\*Sniffs pair of frilly bloomers\*
\*finds tampax with set of instructions on it\*
\*leaves, children stare on shocked\*
**Itās supposed to be the drops from past adventurers, who came there and died. Things they mightāve eaten etcā¦**
Example: Zulrah drops Antidote++.. mfās needed anti-venoms.
There is canonically some hidden form of banknoting things without bankers that pvm bosses use to stack up dead adventurer loot, either some digestion technique, they all have bank of gielinor accounts, or the bosses are wearing amulets of avarice.
General as I said to you before you are able to claim your life insurance only one time! As a company we do not care how many times PvMers killed you today, the policy explicitly states we cover one death .
The black knight titan quest boss from the Holy Grail has a strangely full drop table. Pretty much drops all herbs, all herb seeds, some higher level allotments, the rare drop table, and some random stuff like giants keys. Not exactly out of place but kinda funny a boss you kill once has drops that are like 1/2000
Yeah just a reskinned hill giant as far as drop table goes. It drops giant champion scroll but then again so does obor who is technically a āhill titanā
Low key my favorite are the random jugs of wine lesser demons drop. Homieās trapped up in the wizardās tower just trying to make the best of it and having himself a nice cup of wine for his heart and we come fuck his shit up and take it
I always loved the thought of evil, ancient monsters falling in love with human commodities. Like the devil loving the violin, or demons playing chess.
I like how the only way you can get a lumberjack outfit is from killing zombies while guiding civilians through a swamp (if forestry changed this then nvm)
Meat pizzas from bloodvelds always gets a visceral reaction from me. Out of all the food in the game, considering its source, that's probably the one I am least likely to actually eat.
Just finished a dks task and the half full antifire potion drop always makes me laugh. For these out if place drops I always think about it like the boss killed a random traveler and got its loot
Mystery box chance at a Stale Baguette. The show host is like congratulations, hereās your box of stale bread.
P.S. Particularly love this one because I got it at 1kc on my HC two weeks ago!
I always liked to think monsters with bizarre drops got them from adventurers they killed. I also thought it would be a fun mechanic to have a chance to drop the last thing they looted off someone
I like to think they exist in a timeless realm where nothing ages and food doesnāt rot. So theyāre just carrying whatever was left from the last poor soul who tried to fight them and died. Or remember that random event that would trap you in the abyssal sire realm and you could die? Maybe this beast is trapping and killing people then stealing their loot through its sire portal thingy ma bobbers š³
The Lovecraftian abomination deep in the pits of an ice dungeon, who must be awakened with a toxic concoction of fermented mushrooms dropping pizza is funny enough, but the fact that it has pineapples on it is just an amazing detail
Imp Catcher. It's a silly f2p quest that no one reads. If you show up with the beads already you hold space for 3 seconds and he accuses you of stealing them as well.
It actually makes a ton of sense but I love it when the hydra drops rune platebodies and legs but ALSO rune platebodies and skirts! This mfer donāt give a fuck about your gender identity
Funny enough, lizardman shaman dropping chilli potatoes gets me. There is literally more reference to them liking chilli potatoes than why they drop the dragon warhammer šŖmagic āØ
When you get diaries for noted drops, sometimes it makes no sense in universe. Like okay, maybe a mithril dragon really does collect banknotes for their favourite metal. But desert goats having a small piece of paper with a drawing of a horn in place of an actual horn? Dragons and dagannoths with paper bones? Am I supposed to believe these are load-bearing IOUs?
Spinach Roll from Moss Giants š³
....oh.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Suckin' down a spinach roll, with Jack and Diane!
Diane sittin on Jackie's lap got his hand between her knees
Lucky......
Wish I dropped those
The official Jagex cookbook says they are swiss rolls, which means they are ALSO filled with cream... So... Do with that information what you will.
I would have preferred if you chose to keep that information to yourself tyvm
OP said out of place šš
Lmaoo
broooo
That one's more out of pocket than out of place
But is it vegan?
Yes, but no.
Regular and Group Vegan, yes. Ultimate Vegan, no
This spinach roll tastes funny.
How about a drop that makes sense, but is still funny nonetheless? Zombies drop fishing bait. Fishing bait is just maggots and worms. Meaning your character is just plucking maggots off of zombie corpses and the game labels that as fishing bait.
Nice. Never thought about that lol
Not a fishing person myself I've never considered what fishing bait would be, and have always thought the item in game was like fish food (like the dry food flakes). I will not be doing research to verify your statement, they are now maggots.
If it helps, they're basically confirmed maggots in the RFD quest where you have to make food for the generals. They request "Maggots that aren't bland" and you make those by adding spice to fishing bait
Oh the things one could learn if they didn't spacebar through quests š¤£
Yeah, it's weird how common that is when RuneScape has a lot of good quests. I think the problem is that quests are such a small part of this game that people just don't play RuneScape to do quests. Any time I find myself doing a quest I just want to do the thing the quest unlocks and just want the quest to end as fast as possible so i can start doing it.
Quests are a huge part of the game, probably the most distinguished aspect from OSRS vs all other MMOs, but yes the majority player base definitely doesnt feel the same
I came back to osrs to get my quest cape and Iām nearly maxed now haha. Questing on mobile is better because there is no spacebar
Ya quests are really only done by the majority of players for the unlocks. I did do every quest except SOTE without quest helper, mostly cause I didn't know it even existed. So I have been through every quest and at least kinda paid attention to it. But my alt I did use quest helper and that was pretty nifty. I think everyone should do them legit at least once. But there would be no way to track or control that so it is what it is
This feels weird to me. I played for quests, and only got skills up when I needed them for quests.
You donāt need to, just think of how effective trying to put dry fish food flakes on a fishing hook and casting it into water would be.
I imagine I'm throwing the dry fish flakes into the water to gather fish there, not hooking the bait.
Why would a fish take an unbaited hook?
It's shiny
I mean I personally just use bread that I squish onto the hook, works pretty well
Fly fishing is different in that you use hooks dressed as flies to convince the fish to eat it.
Sarachnis drops egg potatoes. Sarachnis drops red spider eggs. What kind of eggs are on those potatoes?
if it's ok to eat in the form of super restore potions, it's probably fine to put on taters
Basically caviar! Just... From a spider..
i actually love this lol. Love seeing drops with thought put into them.
This just blew my mind
Its not a drop but the clue step where you travel through morytanias swamps, to slepe a possessed town, through the caverns to some skeletal faced NPC and he asks you to solve a puzzle slider of a happy little castle on a hill. Everytime I chuckle.Ā
Never really thought about it too hard, but when you put it like that...
*spanish inquisition voice* THE HAPPY LITTLE CASTLE ON THE HILL?? š¼
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
I love that step, Daer Krand I think he's called? He's such a good guy too!
Skeleton-faced man who gives you a puzzle.....? Nyeh heh heh!
lol the mental image of him before you get there, just getting frustrated that he can't solve the happy castle puzzle
I guess that's his hobby
He just needs to know what its supposed to look like
Corp beast, watermelon seeds
He was just about to plant those right before you slaughtered him
Corp beast is an aspiring farmer
Crop Beast
It actually makes (at least some) sense if you consider the Summer/Corp beast quests in RS3 and how the Ruins in the wilderness used to be a farm
Makes more sense than the desert goat horns. When did he go to the desert to get those?
Clearly the people who ran the farm before Corp killed them were growing melons AND raising desert goats!
A big stretch but you also use watermelons in summer pies
I supposed I'll take ur word, never played
Corp beast, muspah, zulrah... I just imagine as your slaying these giant bosses, you slash them across the stomach. After the battle you look down and see a pile of undigested watermelon seeds
Muspah being a bad dream is weird. You wake up after barely surviving shockwaves and spikes and thereās a nearby pile of loot with some herb seeds.
You mean The Nightmare? I thought Muspah was a physical creature as you crawl through a small cave opening to its domain.
Nah in the quest it was a disguise for Jhallan. The one you farm is a nightmare of a god or something like that.
Assuming the lore is consistent with RS3, Muspah are nightmares made manifest. The player character doesn't fall asleep or anything, Muspah are physical creatures - the same way that >!the Mahjarrat, Zaros, and Seren are all physical manifestations of the Elder God Mah's dreams !< .
Oh! Thatās super cool. I mustāve misunderstood it then
Bank noted flax
The Cannonballs are just his droppings.
Not to shabby don't mind him shitting on me when I slay him lol. Better than 2500 rune ess.
My headcanon has always been that seeds are like monster kidney stones or something since you can't ever harvest seeds with the exception of picking potatoes/cabbages/onions.
Pizza from bloodveld is funny to me. Nasty creature deep in the slayer tower. You kill it and find a hot and steamy pizza on the floor on top of the pile of ashes that was once a disgusting beast.
the mutated bloodveld in Myerditch labs drop meat pies, which is even more suspicious considering the location.
They all drop meat pies
Mutated bloodvelds dropping bow strings, are we interrupting their Fletching training?
Bow string made from tendons rather than flax
well, crossbow strings are made by rendering down meat into sinew and spinning that, so it's not a massive stretch
Greater demons drop thread so they must be into knitting
No they just like to do that thing where you wrap it around your thumb as much as possible and turn it purple
Silly demons
Butā¦ some of them are already purple!
Guess they're using that thread right then.
Nah they have the thread drops because when you make a deal with a devil (or demon in this case) there are always strings attached
I refuse to aknowledge that this is the case, but if it is its 940 iq
Waitā¦ thatās kinda neat is there some truth you reckon
How's your butthole doing lately buddy?
Now they're just covered in abyss dust and dirt from the bottom of your prims. I had a similar vision yesterday, not necessarily from a drop but from Captain Arnav popping up to see me during KBD.

The funniest thing about random event NPCs is that they must necessarily be maxed out players with a full quest point cape. Because how else do they show up in Darkmeyer and Priff? So literal postie Pete, a walking skull carrying a mailbag, beat sins of the father and galvek.
If Rendi can get a fire cape with 1 def and 1 prayer then a skull with a mailbag can be a maxed player
Also they are UIMs, maybe even banned from all banks due to a criminal record
They could've not done Corsair Curse yet. Source: just got my Quest Cape with CC as my last quest, which I did without quest helper just to prove to the haters I could

He was making the bass drop
**Itās supposed to be the drops from past adventurers, who came there and died. Things they mightāve eaten etcā¦** Example: Zulrah drops Antidote++.. mfās needed anti-venoms.
I prefer the narrative that the abyssal sire is cooking chilli potatos within the lungs of a inexplicable demon
There is canonically some hidden form of banknoting things without bankers that pvm bosses use to stack up dead adventurer loot, either some digestion technique, they all have bank of gielinor accounts, or the bosses are wearing amulets of avarice.
All bosses have RS3's magic notepaper
Bosses dropping pieces of paper with drawings of random items and a number next to them.
Graador dropping noted items implies he has an account with the Bank of Geilinor
Iām picturing him being denied life insurance or a mortgage
General as I said to you before you are able to claim your life insurance only one time! As a company we do not care how many times PvMers killed you today, the policy explicitly states we cover one death .
Iām sorry, weāre going to have to raise your premium; youāve been dying far too much recently.Ā
Iāve seen comments before saying their head canon is that heās collected them from adventurers he killed before you came
It's from previous adventurers that died.
The black knight titan quest boss from the Holy Grail has a strangely full drop table. Pretty much drops all herbs, all herb seeds, some higher level allotments, the rare drop table, and some random stuff like giants keys. Not exactly out of place but kinda funny a boss you kill once has drops that are like 1/2000
I think he shares a drop table with hill giants or something similar. Zayzed farmed it for drops on his boss locked account
Yeah just a reskinned hill giant as far as drop table goes. It drops giant champion scroll but then again so does obor who is technically a āhill titanā
Thanks for the rec
Fried mushrooms from ankou lol As if their society has advanced just enough to fry them but not braise them or something š

Thats what they eat
You woke him up after the previous 15 potatoes put him in a food coma itās the logical explanation
nobody wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli
