Rares are merely a status icon. They are symbol of wealth and prosperity. More-or-less; 99 Herblore, 99 Prayer, 99 construction or 99 Smithing show the same thing. Not only have you trained a skill and Mastered it, but you have the cash for those kinds of status icons. Long story short: Ditch the rare, train a skill. Whenever i see a 99 Herblore, Prayer or Construction; I think "Must have taken a lot of cash and time to do that" When i see a party hat, i get jealous, then angry, then tired. "its just a paper hat"
