old.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/188l5eh/osrs_fun_fact_1_there_are_a_handful_of_boxes/

As per the above thread, in osrs certain objects have a small chance to be searched to get a item. Does this still exist for the same rs3 objects?

From the same article you linked:

"this is related to the old mechanic from 2004ish (discussed briefly here) where certain bits of scenery could be searched to give leather gloves, broken arrows, and a bunch of other junk. This was mostly removed in 2006...key word mostly."


There should be the equally fun fact about crates we can get some junk item in both RS3 and OSRS since the old mechanic was released in 2004ish. According to that commenter, some of such junk released in 2004 was removed in 2006, so there should still be some junk leftover in RS3, although most of the junk remains in OSRS.

I did a little "fun" exploration in RS3 with the old "fun" crates and found some of the pre-2007 crates containing the "fun" junk like leather gloves and broken arrows are still here, but are repurposed to contain other actually fun stuff for the 2023 players wts clue scrolls, achievements, Runescores, diaries etc.

The old "fun" but junk stuff like broken arrows is still "fun" to be obtained from more appropriate sources in 2023, like Archaeology related grids, and digging spots.

Well, if you want the pre-2007 "fun" junk in RS3, some of them are still in the old crates but most are remastered into modern historical themed content like Archaeology. Meanwhile many pre-2007 "fun" crates with junk are now being remastered into 2023 content with not just fun but, most importantly, useful and appealing content for the 2023 players, both new and old.

Bear in mind RS3 is composed of the past, the present and the future of Runescape.

While inevitably the game has to make changes and go with the natural flow of what the present and future generations of gamers and not-yet-gamers like, the Team has been successful in remastering old content, including even the RSC era "fun" but junk content.

To RS3, old content wasn't just removed or replaced as in the cases of most 20 year old games, they are just being remastered in RS3, so even 20 year old veteran players can come back in 2023 and still rediscover the memories they have left off, but only the 2023 settings they are familiar with IRL.

Actually RS3 Jmods are far more creative with some of the "fun" junk from the past. For instance, different RS3 Jmods have developed Jmod Trading Sequence to turn some junk content into new item with even more interactive modern fun.

Easter Eggs are not fun immersive pieces of content. They're fun, but they're the opposite of immersive - they really bring you out of the moment.

RS3 mods have opted to remove immersion, flooding the game with nonsensical cosmetics. They've also removed some of the older game mechanics rather than fix issues with them. I.E. the ability to place objects on tables. Objects could be placed on tables. They had uses for roleplay, immersion, as well as had a separate disappearing timer from traditionally dropped items.

RS3 Jmods definitely do not care about these fun little mechanics. They would rather put in-jokes in the game, thanks for reminding us.

I think a lot of players will find Jmod Trading Sequence "junk" and their rewards at least more fun than broken arrows. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a "fun" facts thread OP brought up.

If you don't find whatever item fun, it is your objective idea and so be it. Meanwhile, even most players may not find broken arrows "fun" to get in OSRS and RS3, myself included, I still entertain certain players' appreciation of such "fun" junk and more than happy to participate in such discussion. Afterall, I believe the person who created that Reddit thread and OP who brought it to the RSOF for the discussion of whether we can still get those "fun", junk or whatever you feel like to call them, but not to argue if they are actually fun or not.

The trading sequals are fun.
Specialy the first one my opinion.

I also do think the maps the make these days feel so empty.
The graphics are great and all, but honestly most time lumbridge is more fun.

Lumbridge got a lot of those intractal envoirmental things new location do lack of these things in my opinion.
Its like a great wallpaper without click able icons. :D
