Define normal. I don't think your level has anything to do with it as I'm 103 and I've never had a mime or Dr. Jekyl or several others I've seen. I've had a grand total of 3 mazes. The rest are mostly those stupid boxes asking for the color of the shape. Bah.

The randomness of random events just doesn't make sense to me. I can't count the number of times I've been fishing along with the same 2 or 3 other people and they might get 4 or 5 events in the same time I might get 1 or none. It's happened to me at the ogres, fire giants, dagganoths, etc. where we're all in the same area for the same amount of time and they get random events whereas I don't.

I've had a grand total of 2 mazes, and 1 I didn't even get to do, since a friend came over and he did it for me while I was using the toilet. I've never had a Dr. Jekyll, 3 frogs (1 that came up right as I logged out -.-)
What I would say for normal is having at least one mime, 3 mazes, and those other rare ones before you get to level 80. I NEVER get random events, like, ever. Last time I got a random event was November.

I've noticed people say they get random events more when they are doing something for a long time. Like, as in fishing 5k sharks, they might get a couple of mazes, and when they cook them, they might get a couple of mimes. My level 77 friend has had, to date (from playing from about March 2005) 7 mazes and 5 mimes. I have been playing longer than him, but I am not a fisher or a cooker, so there is probably a better chance of getting a specific random event while doing 1 random event. People say that they get mimes while training combat, fishing, or cooking, and people say they get mazes while flething, fishing or cooking (most commonly). If this is true, Jagex should increase the chances of getting a random event when you are doing events other than the 4 I mentioned.

BTW: Anyone got any of the 2 new random events?

Doing things that you can auto raises your chances of getting randoms. For example: Fishing, Cooking and Magic.

And Twilight? How do you define a decent reward from the mysterious old man? I get sapphires or approximately 130 coins. Once, I got a cosmic talisman. Of course, that was a couple of months after I got tired of waiting for one and bought it.

Gem, Half Key, or Talisman.

Well, the times i get them the most are, walking around(?), alching, and cooking. I hardly get any while fishing, other then whirlpools and crap, and i'm 89 fishing. 80 fletching hardly get any while fletching. The most random events I get are drunken dwarves and mysterious old men.

I've heard people say that the less you move your camera the more you get. So I believe that the people that do move their camera around a good bit, get less, because I don't move it while alching nor cooking.

Sometimes you have to wonder what goes on in the design rooms at JAGeX. I have never heard of, or run into this before nor do I see a point to it.


What other odd stuff have you run into lately? Pics would be nice...

ya thats happened to me as well.

Smelting all the time yields npc random events, such as the dwarf, the highwayman, the strange plant.

Cooking gets me lots and lots of mazes. I got my 2 mimes this way too.

Fishing/Mining gets me trolls/golems and mysterious old man.

Many of the events are skill-specific.

EDIT: So I just got the sandwich lady. It's kind of stupid. She tells you to pick something out of the 7 objects FREELY ROTATING IN MIDAIR over her plate. None of which do much but heal health, which is useless since you get this event mainly in noncombat.

If you think about it, the maze is pretty elaborate....The creativity of the walls is genius and offers a good distraction when looking for the doors.

I think while getting 90 fletch I maybe had 1 event and I think that was a maze but while alching I did get a good many mazes and other ones. I get most of my events while training combat thats where I got my only mime but mostly its mysterious old men who I have got a couple half keys from.

I got the frogs once right, like, the millisecond I logged out. I logged back in and I was a frog. :\
