All About Rare Items In Runescape

Written by wangmin on January 20, 2010 10:24
Did you know that there are a lot of very rare items in runescape I'll tell you about some of them and how you can get them for yourselfBefore I start and get you all excited, you should know that from now on, holiday drops (Some of which are extremely rare) are no longer tradeableYes it's sad but truePersonally I don't know why Jagex did this, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

I suppose the holiday drops and rare items show how long that someone has been playing, so you can show them off as an achievementOr perhaps they don't like the fact that some people (Smart people) will hoard loads of holiday drops for themselves, buying them from anyone else that has them, or starting bogus accounts and collecting holiday drops, then when the holiday drop event is over and it's not longer possible to get them, the hoarder would charge a TON of money for each oneSince they're no longer available, people will pay big money for them.

Personally I don't think that it's a horrible thing, but it does present people with an opportunity to collect large ammounts of gold and sell it on ebay for example, that's a bad thing as it's against the rules and encourages people to use auto miners etc to gain gold.

Okay, now that we've established a bit of background information on the rare items in runescape, it's time to get down to the specifics of a few of the more popular holiday drops

The most commonly talked about runescape rare item is the party hat, sometimes called phats for shortThey come is 6 different colours, red, yellow, blue, green, white and purplePretty bad graphics by it's one of the rare items in runescape and presumably it's value will constantly increase

Another rare item is the santa hatThis was a christmas holiday drop in 2002Again, very rare and highly pricedNot sure about how much it costs compared with the party hats

And finally, the last tradeable runescape rare item holiday drop that I'm going to talk about, is the halloween masksAs far as I know there were only 3 colours and other than that, they looked exactly the sameIt could have been picked up on halloween 2002

In 2003 and beyond, holiday drops were made to be no longer tradeable, and will never be tradeable for the forseeable futureSo if you want holiday drops you'll have to either shell out massive sums of money for the old ones that are tradeable, or wait until the next holiday event to be able to get your own, for free of course :) I hope that has helped you gain a bit of insight into the world of rare items and holiday drops in runescapeI also hope to teach you much more in the future, such as how to get a ton of money in runescape.
