"Double helix" was the name originally given to an unobtainable item that exists in the game cache. It was created to replace the noted form of bronze fire arrows. Since items could not be fully removed once created, it was added in a hidden update in 2005 to fill this slot. The actual item was just a copy of a pink skirt.
If players attempted to view the double helix in game by using cheating software, they would be given a hex edit detected instead.
In RuneScape, the item later became viewable via Quick Chat, causing much confusion. It was deleted from the game cache in 2017, being replaced by Buchu seeds.
Two more double helixes were briefly added to the game in 2005, serving as placeholders for the mud battlestaff and the mystic mud staff before release.
