Hey community and, hopefully, any mods that might be so kind as to weigh in. I'm absolutely enthralled by lore and easter eggs in video games. The former fills a fantasy itch I've had since childhood, and the latter quenches a thirst for finding those quirky hidden things in all the games I've played. A few months ago I happened across Mod Ryan's Trading Sequence and the trading sequence that leads you to the Strange Glowing Orb. For those unfamiliar, I'll list the Wiki link at the bottom.

I'll try not to spoil anything, and let folks do the sequence themselves or google it. Mod Ryan's Trading Sequence thus far seems more along the lines of easter egg, with no lore implications. Thus far, the Pot of Souls is the most recent item that has been found in the sequence. This was released along with Archaeology, so it's been over a year since any step has been found.

The trading sequence leading up to the Strange Glowing Orb has much more of a lore implication, and leaves some pretty heavy cliffhangers alluding to eerie things regarding Mazcab, Merethiel and more. The last step in this sequence was found over three years ago and to my knowledge, the cryptic message left to you by the sequences final NPC hasn't been extrapolated on.

I have went nuts trying to see if there is another step. Not knowing if there is another step does things to a man. One should never try opening a pot of souls, while wearing an amulet of souls, at the soul alter. It's too soulful. I've also been trying to see if the Necklace of Salamancy can be found or if the teleportation devices in the Rex Matriarchs area have any functionality. It would be AWESOME if someone could weigh in with further information regarding the steps; be it a J-mod willing to even drop a " ;) " which would make me think there is something to be found, or a player that has discovered more. Hopefully this exposes the sequences to some people who may have not been aware of it.

u/JagexRamen, I apologize for unceremoniously attempting to summon you via this comment, but is this anything you or another mod could weigh in on? At the least it would be great to know if the Trading Sequences had been scrapped.

Mine can't go much further until we create more Mazcab content as it's very much attached to the lore there.

However... I do have something new in the works which will have you as a community trekking back through everything I've ever worked on... More to come when I do another release :D
