Treasure Hunter | Thieving and Slayer Skilling Dummies

Get your hands on two brand new types of skilling dummies - only available on Treasure Hunter!

Head to Treasure Hunter from 00:00 UTC on the 31st December until 23:59 UTC on 4th January 2016 to win the new Slayer and Thieving skilling dummies. These placeable items can be pick-pocketed or slain for scaleable Thieving and Slayer XP based on your current levels.

When placed, these dummies can be knocked down five times giving you a hefty chunk of XP with each victory. On the 5th fall, the dummy is permanently destroyed.

Your friends can also join in! Battle them together and your friends will receive a bonus 5% of the XP available.

Enjoy!

Take these skilling dummies and put them to the test - have fun, and give us your feedback over on the forums.

Seems a really dumb promotion, even for Jagex's standards 

Why's it dumb?:o I'm kind of excited for thieving ones! Don't they already have dummies out there for magic?

I don't like the idea of skills becoming more and more easier to obtain. However, you don't have to use them, nobody is forcing you. I won't be buying any keys, but if I win some, I'll probably stock them up DXP weekend regardless, haha.

I like the sound of these. Are skillers able to use or train on the Slayer dummies, does anyone know?

Haven't had one, but if I find out I'll let you know.

Dumb just in the sense that these items make no sense. I know you could probably say that about a lot of Runescape but logically how would you learn/gain experience from practising thieving on a inanimate dummy. Seems Jagex put absolutely zero thought into these. I mean they could have done like a portable vault that your character had to crack into or something along those lines.

I see your point, but to my acknowledgement they have a separate team (whoever the investors are) working on the Treasure hunter promotions, items, pets etc.  This is why we don't have boss pets to over-ride familiars yet, but we continue to see new pets being added to the solomons store.

It's sad..But that's how it goes

Edit: Basically, I don't think they care.

Slayer dummies DO NOT give any combat EXP. Just slayer exp.

I'm holding you to this, and if I get any combat levels you owe me a new skiller

I think it's meh.
