During the '''2003 Hallowe'en event''', untradeable [[scythe]]s were dropped. Players could only pick up one scythe at a time. If they tried to pick up another one, a message said, "You already have a scythe you don't need another one". If dropped or lost, players can talk to [[Thessalia]] in the [[Thessalia's Fine Clothes]] [[shop]] in [[Varrock]] to get the scythes back.<br />
<br />
Jagex originally did not want to create a Hallowe'en event for [[2003]], because they feared it would delay the planned release date ([[1 December]]) of ''[[RuneScape 2]]''. In one of their [[polls]], they asked players if they would want a new Hallowe'en event but also delay the release of ''RuneScape 2'', or keep it on schedule and have a "pancake day" in February instead. 78% of voters wanted a 2003 Hallowe'en event.{{CiteGeneral|author=Jagex|url=http://poll.runescape.com/results.ws?id=4|title=Halloween Drop|date=23 October 2003|accessdate=11:34, July 3, 2011 (UTC)}} However, ''RuneScape 2'' was still released on schedule,{{CiteNews |author= Andrew and the RuneScape Team|url= http://services.runescape.com/m=news/RuneScape-2-Beta-is-Here%21|title= RuneScape 2 Beta is Here!|newsdate= 1 December 2003|date=07:52, April 17, 2011 (UTC)}} because the developers came in early and on weekends to do extra work.{{CiteNews|author=Jagex|url=http://services.runescape.com/m=news/newsitem.ws?id=135|title=RS2 is still on schedule|newsdate=2 November 2003|date=07:52, April 17, 2011 (UTC)}}<br />

Due to a server error at the time of the original drops, [[Jagex]] organised a second drop day where every hour for six hours the scythes were randomly dropped.<br />
