In pursuit of a priceless raccoon, MMO player spends 149 hours stealing over 14,000 fruit while dodging XP gains like landmines

Old School RuneScape.

When Old School RuneScape player IcarusLives made a new character on the MMO, they had just one plan in mind: farming.

Their new name? Is Farmer. Beautiful.

But they couldn't go it alone. They needed a companion, someone to join them in their farmhand journey. They needed Rocky, they decided, the pet raccoon obtained as a random drop. And they spent 149 hours stealing over 14,000 fruit to get 'em.
