#Extend Duration of Jekyll and Hyde Random Event and remove any "end of event snubs"

I've had 3 encounters with the Jekyll and Hyde random event over the past week or so, all 3 of which I have been within 10 or so squares of a bank. This most recent one I ran to the bank and had a clean herb within 7-8 seconds, if not less, and the other times were similar but the event disappears. I've seen other random events stick around for double that, if not longer, such as evil bob or the mysterious old man.

If accessing the bank is what triggers the shortened delay or is a trigger condition for the end stage dialogue where they say "maybe later" stick around for two more seconds, and then depart, please remove that condition as they are still around but attempting to interact with the random event just prompts a dialogue box of "bye" and things like that. The event is still there, it should be usable.

Random events used to serve more purpose back in the day to ensure you were paying attention/not botting, but are now fun ways to obtain collectables, xp lamps, etc. give players more opportunity to engage with the random event, especially if it's conditional such as needing an herb to benefit from it.

They arent supposed to spawn near banks, so thats why yeah. Just carry an herb with you if you care about the random

Is that on the wiki somewhere? Where are you getting "not spawn near banks" from? I've been in both the farming guild near a bank chest and right outside the edgeville bank using a fire and gotten the hyde event in recent memory

Random events will also not appear in most banks, boss areas, and minigames; if a random event NPC is following the player into a disallowed area, it will despawn and not return, except for Count Check, Dr Jekyll, and the Genie
On the Random Event page

Ah, that is useful to know, thanks for the info. Though I do see Dr. Jekyll is supposed to be an exception to that bank rule. The wiki specifically says (once I clicked his link) that banks are not supposed to shorten or despawn him, which I specifically mention in my post

Castle wars might work, thanks for the tip

If you don't have a tele on you, I'd say fishing trawler minigame tele could be good too

Agree that this specific event needs a little kindness added to make it feel better.

Most of the time it feels as though asking you for a herb is pretty useless.
