Shattered Heart

This Distraction and Diversion has been rated as Low Risk. You may be skilling in areas with aggressive monsters or other dangers however. See the minigames page for a definition of high and low risk.

Introduction

Shattered Heart is an minigame that can take place while training any non-combat skill. As you train your skills, strange rock pieces drop into your inventory. When you receive 2 rock pieces from training a certain skill, you can place them onto the plinth in Varrock Museum. Each two rocks you place on the plinth builds up a portion of the Dahmaroc statue.

If you wish to stop receiving strange rocks, talk to one of the Varrock Museum archaeologists. You can always go back and talk with them once more to get rock pieces again.

NOTE: You cannot collect more than 2 rocks per skill even after placing them on the plinth. You will be able to collect more strange rocks for a skill after obtaining rocks for all other non-combat skills. You can store rocks in a Statue collection bag to save bank space while you collect others if you choose.

Obtaining the Rocks

It is typical to receive your first strange rock fairly early into your skilling. After receiving one, your chances for receiving a second drops by half. Strange rocks are not obtainable via every skilling method however. Outlined below are methods that yield a high probability of obtaining strange rocks.

Ways to Obtain Strange Rocks
Pic	Skill	Methods
	Agility	Completing the Agility Arena, Ape Atoll, Barbarian, Bandos Throne room, Brimhaven, Dorgesh-Kaan, Pyramid, Tree Gnome Stronghold, Werewolf or Wilderness agility courses.
	Construction	Building furniture or flatpacks in either building mode or normal mode.
	Cooking	Cooking fish on a range or fire.
	Crafting	Crafting any gold jewellery, making any elemental battlestaffs, making leather or dragon hide armour, making molten glass, making unpowered orbs, crafting pottery, and using spinning wheels.
	Farming	Harvesting your allotment, flower, herb, hops, bush, and fruit tree patches; planting seeds/saplings.
	Firemaking	Burning any kind of logs with a tinderbox, adding logs to a bonfire, burning shades in the Temple Building mini game, burning roots in the Jadinko Lair.
	Fishing	Fishing with any type of cage or net, fishing Cavefish or Rocktails in the Living Rock Caverns, and bare-handed fishing.
	Fletching	Fletching crossbow stocks or unstrung bows.
	Herblore	Cleaning herbs, making unfinished potions, and using secondary ingredients on unfinished potions; barbarian mixes do not count.
	Hunter	Inspecting box and deadfall traps (including imp boxes), pitfall trapping, tracking method, charm sprites, and falconry. Please note, you may still receive a Strange rock even if you fail to catch anything.
	Mining	Mining any standard ore, concentrated veins, gem rocks, shooting stars, mining lava crust in the Lava Flow Mine, pure essence, and getting approval up via coal rocks on Miscellania (for Kingdom Managing minigame).
	Runecrafting	Runecrafting essences into runes (one chance per essence crafted), siphoning nodes, creatures and spheres in the Runespan
	Smithing	Smelting ores into bars or smithing bars into armour, weapons, or cannonballs.
	Thieving	Pickpocketing from any npc as well as thieving from chests and stalls.
	Woodcutting	Cutting any type of tree, chopping ivy, cutting roots in the Jadinko Lair, or playing the Tai Bwo Wannai Clean Up and Sawmill minigames.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have no free space available in your inventory and obtain a Strange rock, the last item you just used/made (last fish cooked, last (u) bow cut, etc.) will be destroyed in order to make room for the Strange rock. You will get an in-game message when this occurs, letting you know that "something odd" has happened to your item, and that you are "left with a Strange rock." Note that the only items not destroyed in this manner are Runite items.

If you have a Statue collection bag in your inventory, any Strange rocks you find are automatically stored in the bag, meaning that an item is not destroyed if your inventory is full. When this occurs, the message "You find a strange rock and add it to your bag." is displayed in your chat box.

Rewards

To receive a reward for strange rock pieces you must collect 2 rocks from the skill you are training. You can talk to the archaeologists at the Varrock Museum for additional information about your rock pieces and a list of remaining pieces you need to collect. After you finish your dialogue with them, click on the plinth in front of the curator to construct a piece of the Dahmaroc statue. You will be rewarded with experience points based on your current level in the relevant skill.

If you manage to construct the entire statue, it will briefly come to life and then burst apart. This means that you cannot finish rebuilding the statue for 1 week (you can start receiving strange rocks and adding them to the statue straight away, but you cannot add the final one until 1 week has passed). Each time you manage to complete the statue, you will receive replica pieces. You'll receive a plinth to put in your Player owned house's Study to add the replica pieces. As with the statue in the museum, you need two replica pieces before it can be added. Once you collect all 30 replica pieces you will have your very own Dahmaroc statue.

NOTE: Completing the replica statue in your house does not offer any further rewards besides having the completed replica in your house.

Additionally, whilst skilling in activities that can earn you Shattered Heart rocks, you will have a chance at receiving key token usable for Treasure Hunter. Unlike the Shattered Heart rocks, these tokens earned through skilling are not limited, and can be received regardless of whether you have found your Shattered Heart rocks yet or not. You can choose to have them auto-credited to earned keys in the Treasure Hunter interface, and have up to ten of them saved up.
