Teleport Random "Spots"

Snowfox · **Posted:** December 30th, 2007, 6:00 pm

I'm starting to wonder whether or not the teleport random (the one where you get sent to the abyss) is actually random.

My reasoning for this is that I have been training Range at Greater Demons for a good week now. I go to the caged demons in the Ogre enclave near Yanille. I always end up standing in the same spot (on the west end of the fence) due to Greater Demon movement and my character trying to find his aim.

At the same time as Ranging, I have also been Farming, and buying and selling in the Grand Exchange. Also sometimes I just get tired of Ranging and complete on the Clue Scrolls I receive from the Greater Demons. I always keep 20 Law Runes and an Air Staff on me for Telekenekic Grab and teleporting to Camelot.

Now to my point, every time I have teleported from that area I get the teleporting random even without fail. I've started to pay more attention and it is literally every time. This means that the event is not random. It can't be or else I wouldn't be getting it constantly. I'm not totally sure, it's just a theory, but I'm thinking Jagex might have certain "areas" set up that if you teleport in those areas, you get the random event.

I honestly have no idea if it's true but it would be the only explanation why I keep getting that random event in the same spot over and over.

If you have any thoerys of your own please feel free to post them. Thanks.

A possible solution for macroers? Great!

Well I wasn't thinking of that as really a solution, I think that's what they have going right now.

I know, I'm just saying since you figured this out, so could a lot of other people

They've actually come out in the past and said there not really "random" something triggers them. They obviously wont reveal what it is. My guess would be exp gain or perhaps amount of time you've been logged in.

I was thinking that too, I gain about 150K XP average in that spot and spend a good 3-4 hours hardly moving.

I don't think there's necessarily a specific spot that Jagex targets, but the fact that you're standing in an area not moving (much) or talking (much) for long periods of time is quite relevant. When I was training strength at Abyssal Demons a few months back, I would literally be able to tell the people around me that there was going to be a random event whenever I had to high-alch something.

My guess is that by acting like a macroer, aka not moving out of a map frame for X number of minutes, gaining X number of exp, a random event would be likely to occur.

Exactly. Having been training wcing xp in eEgeville intensely (1k or so yews a day) lately, you see randoms go in sets. One day it was all genies, the next it was the frog event, and on and on. I have noticed in the past that for example when I'm training in the SoS I get the school random a lot...I mean a ton (I think 4 or 5 times for a 3 to 4 hour period). Oh, and if you are burying bones (maging white knights and burying bones) you get a ton of the gravedigger random...in fact that random basically happens after either so many bones have been buried or so much time playing-and then you bury a bone.

So ya, I agree it isn't random...at all.

yea now that i come to think of it the whole X number of xp and X number of minutes in a single map frame will trigger a random. i had absolutley NO RANDOMS when meleeing hellhounds the other day, but when i went to the desesrt and trainined my hunter 3 lvls i no joke got 4 genies and 2 capn hands in like 1 hour. it was crazy idk if genies are really an anti macro event but still just trying to show my theory of intesnse xp along with time in a single map frame.

It might also depend on world. See I always jump between 4 and 6 world to find the best place to wc. So last night world 4 gave me three school randoms in a row. then I went to world 1 and it was frogs. Then I went to world 3...and just got the boring mysterious man or the cube thing. So I think it changes based on world, but each world, slowly changes, but goes in sets.

I wonder if the other "randoms" have specific locations... For example, the only drill demon randoms I've ever had were in the fishing guild.

I've gotten those all over the place, wcing and just walking.

They are triggered by certain actions, an obvious example would be, you don't get a river troll by woodcutting. Certain skills, have certain randoms.

i dont think theyre random, they may be setup to trigger when youve gained a certain amount of xp in a skill nonstop, or when you do a certain action a certain number of times nonstop. ive also noticed large gatherings of players in a confined area (my clan's meetings) seems to gather alot of randoms.

My little brother spent a good chunk of the day doing what he called a "glitch". What he would do is not click or move (he would still talk) for 9 minutes and then bury a bone. He claimed that he would get a random every time. I didn't really check the accuracy of what he was telling me as I thought his activity was a complete waste of time

After telling him that he was wasting his time I informed him that what he was doing was not a "glitch" but a triggered event put in place to stop macroers, he didn't really listen to anything I said and he and his little posse of friends kept on being noobs.. :wink:

I know that it worked at least 4 or 5 times for him because I saw that many different random event rewards in his inventory..
