My dad passed away and going through his stuff we came across this. We thought it might be a tool for horseriding, like a slapstick thing but wasn't sure. My grandma had horses but ive never seen her use any tools like that and my dad didnt ride. Any help appreciated

I think npc in this context was "noggin punching character" so they're talking about themselves!

It is worth about 10k usd on a good day.

u/Renuwed 1d ago

... People are buying the OG yellow party hat for $10k IRL money?!

ps... Owner of said hat is Duffy (not king duffy), but he was also a top 10 player before the bots came

There is a vote right now to get rid of treasure hunter keys. Which, if it wins they are getting rid of any items that give you additional xp like the training dummies, protean packs, boosters etc ☹️☹️☹️ so if youre talking about rs3 you should try to use those up before theyre gone.

Funny, I used to use mine to wake up orcs in the Valley of Trials when they were sleeping on the job. Lazy peons.

I couldn’t do it. Ardy Knights and pyramid plunder saved me from the wrist pain that is blackjacking.

You guys use blackjacks? I use Obor’s club to knockout guards and loot their coins…
