Random Events

Random events spawn beside you while skilling, on a timer of roughly 6 to 45 minutes of activity. The Rock Golem spawns from the rock you are mining and can drop a rune pickaxe at 1/513; the Tree Spirit spawns from your tree and drops a rune axe or a dragon spear.

Random events appear while you're skilling or idle. They spawn a creature or NPC beside you and give you a limited time to respond. Ignoring or failing a random event can lead to being teleported away or taking damage. They occur on a timer of roughly 6 to 45 minutes of activity.

Woodcutters: The Tree Spirit is one of the most dangerous random events for lower-level players. It has high melee stats and can quickly kill accounts that aren't paying attention. Keep food in your inventory when training Woodcutting. On the bright side — it's also your best chance at a free Rune axe.

Miners: The Rock Golem has a VERY RARE chance to drop a Rune pickaxe (1 in 513). While grinding at the Runite rock or powermining iron, always have a free inventory slot just in case.
