* CloningBlues: In the Effigy Incubator monthly Distraction and Diversion lore, we learn [[spoiler: that Kerapac's Project Phoenix (presumably an attempt to give the [[LizardFolk Ilujanka]] their fertility back) actually involved him attempting to make clones of himself. Vicendithas, who is attempting to give the Ilujanka back their fertility for real and stealing his father's memories for the research, is one of many, many attempts by Kerapac to clone himself--all the clones named Vicendithas, with Vicendithas seeing through his father's memories the ways each malformed prototype of him was incinerated. Vicendithas takes it poorly, though he later comes to the conclusion that he is more than his father and gains heightened resolve to solve the Ilujanka's fertility crisis--indeed, he ultimately succeeds in this endeavor.]]

** Holiday events reward festive items to wear, but they are strictly cosemtic items with no stats.

*** Alternatively, if you prefer not to pay Death, a gravestone will also appear where you died, allowing you to return to your death point to get your stuff back. However, you only have a short period of time to reach your gravestone, and if you don't make it in time, you're forced to cough up the money at Death's office. Even if you make it in time, any degradeable and augmented items that you don't protect will lose 20% of their charges when you take them from your gravestone, effectively costing you money anyway in repair and divine charge costs, often ''more'' than what Death would have charged you.

*** The Elite Dungeons storyline (and associated quest, the Curse of Black Stone) sees the player narrowly thwart an attempt by Xau-Tak's servant Kranon to summon him to Gielinor. [[spoiler: Recent lore also impies he might be a threat even to the Elder Gods, depending on if he uses shadow anima or not.]]

** Casting the Dream spell with a Jar of Dreams in your inventory will cause an image of The Nightmare to flash on your screen. Casting the spell while inside the Nightmare Zone will yield a message that says you can’t preform Film/{{Inception}}.

*** The Mysterious Figure can ambush you anywhere atanytime, including within the comfort of your own home. Should she pop up in your house, she'll have unique dialogue for the occasion. She can also disguise herself as the Sandwich Lady, and will follow you into random event instances.

** During ''Song of the Elves'', you'll be traveling to and from Lletya often. Eluned will hang around the town, which will make charging your teleport crystal easier. After the quest is completed, she stays in Prifddinas, so there's no need to track her down.

** Bosses in the Nightmare Zone don't require any special methods to defeat them, such as using a stake to finish off Count Draynor or using Excalibur for the Black Night Titan.

*** Dying works differently in the Wilderness if you're skulled - if you die, your items are ''dropped'' instead, and none of them are kept unless you have an effect of item protection active, such as the Protect Item prayer. You can run back and reclaim them if you're quick, but you have much less time than if you died elsewhere, and your items will vanish permanently if you do not make it back in time. And of course, if you're killed by another player, they'll be able to take your stuff right off the bat.

** In Daemonheim, you do not lose any of your items, but each death carries a pretty sizable experience penalty. If you die enough times, you won't get any experience at all for completing the floor. Using a special card at the start of a floor allows you to cap the penalty at two deaths, regardless of how many times you die, and a special relic unlocked through the Archaeology skill eliminates the penalty altogether.

** If you die, your items are sent to Death, and you'll have to pay him a fee based on the value of your items in order to reclaim them. At lower levels, the fee is mostly a nuisance, but at higher levels with best-in-slot gear, you may end up being charged ''millions'' just to recover your stuff. If you can't afford the fee, you'll only have 24 hours of in-game time to get the money, although you can also opt to sacrifice some items to lower the fee. If you don't come up with the money by then (or if you die again) Death will throw your stuff away.

--> ''"Welcome home, [player name]. Now give me the medallions!"''

** In the quest Ghosts Ahoy, the player stopped Necrovarus' plan to prevent the ghosts of Port Phasmatys from being able to move on to the afterlife. Later, in the quest Vessel of the Harbinger, they work together to try to stop Raisal from attacking the surface world.

* AbortedArc: The sequel to the ''Death of Chivalry''. Sir Owen {{Lampshade}}s it if the PlayerCharacter asks about it, saying that he sent an invitation, but the PlayerCharacter seemed to be busy with more important things like mahjarrat, dragonkin, and elder gods and explains [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome what he and Saradomin did without you]].

* GameGourmet: There are at least 62 different types of food, based on the wiki. These range from baked potatoes to cocktails to pies to fish soups to a cornucopia filled with dinosaur meat and heirloom produce. There are achievements for eating all foods of a certain type at least once.

* DrivenToSuicide: In one possible ending for the One Piercing Note quest, [[spoiler:Anna throws herself off of the abbey's clock tower to her death. That is, if she isn't kicked off by the player first]].

* BigNo: When the player is kidnapped to Evil Bob's island. "No... what? Nooooooooooooo!" If they are sent to his prison instead, they will scream "Aargh!".

** After complething ''Dream Mentor'', Bird's Eye Jack becomes a banker at the Lunar Isle bank. Since he doesn't require a seal of passage, this prevents you from getting locked out of your bank account while on the island.
** While inside the Mysterious Old Man's maze, your run energy won't deplete.
