Splitting Heirs: Runescape 2009 Easter Event Guide

Splitting Heirs Guide

Quest start:
South of Falador, due North-West of Rimmington Mine, Talk to Easter Bunny

Requirements: None

Recommendations: Energy enhancing items





Step 1: A Real-Burrow Load of Mess...




Talk to the Easter Bunny, and he will say that there has been (yet another) problem this year. He went away on a little holiday, as he's now too old for egg delivery, so he left his son in charge of the egg factroy, which is now in bits due to his son's laziness.


Ask how can you help, and he will explain that you need to help repair the Egg Plant. After agreeing to help, go down the bunny hole, and you will be transformed into a small rabbit. (See picture) Head North, then West, then North, then West again, then finally straight North, until you come to another bunny hole in the wall. Upon going through this hole, you will be returned to normal form. head north straight through the workshop, through the North-Eastern exit, then haid straight West and talk to Easter Bunny Jr. and ask him why he is't fixing the factory, and he'll reply in a rather "spoilt brattish" fashion. Following through the dialogue, he'll tell you that there is a to-do list in his father's office. Head East into the office, and look at the notice board. The tasks you need to complete are:

Feed the Egg Bird
Round Up the Implings
Fix the Incubator
Retrain the squirrels


I think that these need to be done in this order, as when I tried it on my pure, I found I had to follow the same order.

Step 2: Feeding the Egg Bird:



Step 2A: Fine Food....



Go and talk to the Egg Bird. It's in the center of the main room, and looks like a massive cartoon Parrot. Blow a Raspberry at it, to startle it awake. Upon talking to it again, it will squawk, and demand that you feed it. It will then give you a clue as to which seed it would like to eat. Im assuming these are random, and the seed bags are on the eastern side of the room, directly east of the Egg Bird. Search each bag to find the correct food you need. from North to South these are:
Poppy; Sunflower; Cracker Bits; and Worm Chunks.

Use the food on the Seed bowls situated either side of the Egg Bird. If you make a mistake, simply right click and "Empty" the Seed bowl.

Step 2B: ...And Claret Wine...

Now you must get the Bird some water. Head North of the Bird, and you will see a water tank. click on it and you'll


recieve a bucket of water.(See Picture)Simply use this on the Water Bowl, and then talk to the Bird once more. Follow through the dialogue.




Step 3: Impetuous Implings...


Talk to Easter Bunny Jr who is next to the Bird. Follow through the dialogue, and say that the Bird is a highly intelligent life form producing profit through chocolate. He will then complain about the Implings roaming around A.W.O.L, and also give you the tip of the nets his dad uses to catch them. Head back to the Easter Bunny's office. Grab 5 impling jars from the spawn points on the South side of the office, (See Picture) and the net in the North East corner. Wield the net, and head out the East exit of the Workshop. Run around these tunnels, catching all the Implings you can find.


They are in the following locations, represented by a blue dot on the map:



Now head back into the main Workshop, and look at the Egg Painting Machine. Easter Bunny Jr will appear and complain again about the noise, and the Implings will be rather sarcastic. You must compliment the Implings' work, by saying that an impling painting an egg twice it's own height is pretty cool. Again, he will disappear, being rather lazy.



Step 4: Upon Eggzamination of the Incubator...



Talk to the Impling worker next to the Incubator, which is in the North of the Workshop. He will explain that the blueprints are hidden somewhere in Easter Bunny Jr's room. The blueprint is on the North side of his room, under the shelf (See picture). Read it to see where the parts should go. Search around the Workshop for crates. In them you will the items you need to repair the Incubator. In each box that contains the items, there are two items. Not all the boxes have the things you need. Using the blue print, repair the machine accordingly. First, use the Cog on the Incubator, then use the Pistons on the same. Next use the Chimney on the Incubator. Use the Sooty pipes on the coal supply, the wet pipes on the water supply, and finally the clean pipe on the controls. Now that the machine is complete, talk to the Impling Worker again, then finally Easter Bunny Jr. Again, you have to sell it to him, call the machine "One of a kind." He'll now ask you to sort out the "fluffy tailed rodent" on the Nut Machine.

Step 5: It Costs Peanuts to Train Squirrels...



Go over to the nut machine, and click it, then select "Talk to Big Ben." He'll introduce himself as the big nut of the machine, and will also remind you in a charming cockney accent, not to give them trouble, or you'll be sucking peanut mash through a straw for a while. You'll eventually tell him you need him to get back to work, and he'll say that'll cost you. You'll then state the exact amount of cash you have in Gold Pieces in your bank (In case you didn't read that last bank statement), and he'll reply they don't gold, they want.... Nuts! Go for a 20% cut, and you'll haggle for a while. You'll finally settle on a 25% deal. He makes a comment on your poor easter puns, and makes a yolk himself, and also, mentions that they kinda somehow sorta maybe have forgotten the ability of possibly... sorting nuts? You make another eggsellent pun, and then you'll have to get to work, training them squirrels. When you see these nuts in this red area:

Click the red button. If you make a mistake, you'll go down by one nut. This can take quite a while to do, around 10 minutes. When you've done 10 nuts, click the button that appears to stop training squirrels.

Follow through the dialogue, including the passing of insults. Once more, compliment the workers, by saying they are "highly trained defect detectors".

Step 6: A Carrot and Stick Situation...



Finally, meet the Easter Bunny Jr in his dad's office. He will say he is ready to take on the factory. A short cutscene will ensue, where he dresses up as a pink bunny, and asks you to call on his father. Run back out through the bunny warren, the same way you came in, and once more, you will be bunnified. In case you forgot, the directions are: South, East, South, East, South. Now talk to the Easter Bunny, and follow through the dialogue. Another short cutscene follows with him stepping out of his suit. You will be rewarded with a Large Carrot, which is a fun two-handed weapon:


And the "Round the World in Eggty Days":

Congratulations You have finished Runescapes Splitting Heirs Quest for the 2009 Easter event.
