figured it out

so basically it has a chance of delaying the ingame timer, this can be observed in a video i made

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/251545688

it appears to only effect the ingame clock and not the timestamp clock, the way aura timers work, or any other timed thing

I think people in this thread are focusing too much on the clock, and are only realizing how off-sync the tick system/time is.

edit: as a follow up moltare said "it doesn't do anything that would lead top-end players to consider it mandatory for skilling, bossing or PvP." I can't see this perk having almost no effect like out of sync time. Moltare makes it sound like it does have a useful effect, but it isn't too op at least to me.

Mysterious perk solved.



Notice at 18:35:53 My legendary pet picks up 8,123 coins. Yet deposited into was 24,866 coins. Now what first may come to mind is that I picked up a coin stack right as me pet brought me one but further down in the chat box you can see why that doesn't make sense. There is no message that 8,123 coins were every deposited into my pouch.

The mysterious perk has a chance to increase the value of certian dropped items. So 8,123 coins were dropped but the mysterious perk increased the amount to 24,866 coins which were deposited into my pouch.

As for skilling goes, I believe it has the same concept, it can increase the quantity of a gathering skill. Which is why earlier in this thread Kynon had seen increased exp while fishing.


Update: Upon more testing it appears the perk can also decrease a stack. Just had 11 turn into 8k. No photo proof on that one though.



Another image showing my pet picking up 9k and depositing 18k into my pouch. Just further proof.

@kynon this happens occasionally due to level up goals being set/calculated xp/h from the game/not logging out after long periods of xp gain

It's usually because a pulse core boosts your level, which overrides any virtual level you have..
So if you have 119 Fishing, and only have 2% progress towards lvl 120 - about 197k, then your circle at the top will show 2%.

Apply a Pulse Core boost, and your effective level is boosted from 99 (as virtual levels are not effective), to 102. The 197k (2%) progress you have made towards 120, from 119, is now shown in the circle as the progress 197k would get you towards lvl 103, from lvl 102 (very roughly 10.5%).

As the stat boost wears off, the circle shows the % it would be towards 102, 101, 100, and then 120 again.

How many people remember the mysterious plant from back in the day, and also farming growth cycles are on a specific timeline. Not sure and not wealthy enough to try this perk hunt out, but that's where I'd start, first thing that came to my mind. &#128521;

Wiki Says "Mysterious is an Invention perk whose effect is currently unknown. It can be created in weapon, armour, and tool gizmos.
Mod Moltare hinted that the function of the perk can be discovered by analysing timestamps[1] and that the perk does not do anything that would make it useful to high-level players.[2] After he left Jagex, he posted one more hint on Twitter [3] stating that the perk triggers under the same circumstances as other perks, and when it does, it rolls a number between 0 and 19, which is then compared to the perk's rank." Based on the information available + the hint about time stamps i have came to the conclusion that based on the rank of the perk is the percent chance it will activate and based on activate it rolls for a chance using a random perk based on the rank of your mysterious park is the rank of the perk that it activates that being said does the perks differ according to what you're doing skilling pvp etc?
