Cuddlebucket is correct. At least that's how it's supposed to work.

Some promos were not doing this, however. Call it a bug or a scam - it wasn't working properly, as other promos were. Rainbow's End was notorious for shorting players on oddments when discarding unwanted prizes. One time I won 3 small stars. I didn't want stars, so I chose to convert them to oddments. I noticed the amount was equal to what we get for converting 1 small star, or other white gem prize. We were penalized for cashing out our prizes instead of accepting them. The last time Rainbow's End ran, it did work correctly for me. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

^ My understanding is yes, it certainly used to but I haven't seen this issue raised in a while so I don't want to say 100% yes.

It did last time I cared to check, I can say 100% that it did in the past, but this was before oddments, so who knows what other changes they made.

Let's say you got a 5x purple gem & the cashout was 500k, you would get the item & 2m cash. That's good to know. Hopefully they change it to reflect what is actually going on though. Still scamming to promise something and not deliver, IMO. 200M all skills, Trimmed comp Cape, MQC

Firstly, I can't believe you can't believe it, it's happened before.

Secondly, consider if you have a balanced perspective. Some people might love winning a skilling outfit piece, yet here you are complaining about what you didn't get, rather than enjoying what you did.

Thirdly, did you choose 'claim later', then check your oddments total, then claim, then see if you got oddments for the other gems? (my guess is you so couldn't wait to screenshot it & post it here that the thought never crossed your mind)

Fourthly, nobody can have 4 bandana add-ons.

Fifthly, only 1 person would want to.

Sixthly, if you did thirdly, you might have learned that you actually benefited, as nobody (fine maybe 1 person) would want 3 bandana add-ons taking up a bankspace instead of the bonus 750 or 3k oddments depending if the amount shown is total or per piece.

Seventhly, so next time just take a breath and gather some information before you shake your fist at the world for being the unluckiest person to have ever lived for this incredible way that you have been wronged.

Eighthly, I'm penning a letter to The United Nations on your behalf as we speak.

Ninethly, there there.

Tenthly, I just wanted to say eleventhly.

I have just uncovered evidence that you are indeed being targeted by Jagex.
The very same week that this happened to you, one of the farming requests included 3222 sunchoke seeds.
3222 sunchoke seeds
If you turn around your number of hearts of ice, 3332 becomes 2333.
If you reverse those numbers, that's right......... 2333 becomes 3222 - the very same number of sunchoke seeds requested. I believe this was just an attempt to cover their tracks.
Also bandana add-on & sunchoke seed both have 12 letters.
Also you are offered 1k oddments, the exact buy limit of sunchoke seeds.
Also it's called Treasure Hunter, & you can find pof animals, FOR THE VERY SAME PLACE THE SEEDS ARE REQUESTED, by doing the Hunter skill.

I take it all back, you were right all along, you are a victim, and they are out to get you.

just having a bit of fun :)
