Yes, Kudos to Duke Freedom. You are SO right. I wanted to state that this has DEFFINATLY held true for all rares. I started playing, nearly 5 years ago. Roughly 15 day's after the Christmas Cracker drop. P-hats were strange to me, and I saw no usage for them at the time (I was a noob, you can't blame me.) After a few weeks or so though, having originally seen the price at 100-200gp when I got on. I figured, ah, what the hey. I splurged my money on a White P-hat. You know what I paid? 1,000gp (1k.) Lol, I still have it to this day. In fact, RIGHT before I quit RS for a while (Obviously I'm back now, as of a month and a half ago.) I purchased SEVEN Santa Hats, having learned how the trend affects rares, over my years of playing. I'm upset I didn't purchase another 7; I had money at the time. I paid 150-200k for each individual Santa hat. I even got a Pumpkin, long ago. I forget what I paid for that though. As well as an Easter egg and Tele Disc for about 800k total. I never invested in the Halloween Masks though. I saw the trend, obviously, it holds true for anything when there's a limited supply normally. However, I thought they were fairly ugly in appearance, and didn't care for them. My goal is to get 1 of every collectable rare (Other than masks.) So, at 1 White P-hat, 7 Santa Hats, 1 Pumpkin, and 1 Easter Egg. I'm fairly along in my journey. But, given like the 4x increase in value of P-hats and a fairly significant Party Cracker increase since my last full-time playing, I'm not sure I'll ever reach that goal. :'( One of my most disappointing memories. One day PRIOR to the discontinuation of Half-Wines, I had been in the cooking guild, working away at making mines (had been doing it for 3-5 day's), and I had a bunch of wines in my inventory, which I had been drinking a bunch of. The funny thing was, I had half-drank, a couple of them (Back then, we didn't have the "empty" option that today's player's have) and had discarded them, figuring "Whatever, All my stat's are 0'd out practically from getting drunk, I'll just grab some more jugs the next time I log on." Sure enough, my next log-onÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ.No more half wines. Man, was I steamed. Lol. P.S. I don't see why Spinach Rolls couldn't be a big hit. They were very "interesting" in healing potentials, given the lack of "variety" in potions. (No members back then for all of you past year or 2 players. Let alone RS2, lol.) Only obtainable from MOSS GIANTS. Moss giants, as far as I can remember (I could be wrong, I was only a mid-lvl at best back then), only spawned in the WILDERNESS. To the WEST of that graveyard with the zombies and/or skeletons. Before reaching the place with the PIZZAS It wasn't a particularly common drop either. I had always horded away and bought them all, just sort-of as my own collectible of interests. Now that I've returned only recently though........ I have had a random event, give me one, as well as having the "traveling merchant" near the "Waterfall" (Apparently a new NPC), selling them for like 5gp or something. I have to, I'm really upset. They ruined my collectibles values. Why!? Why I ask, WHY!? I guess because people thought they were a "real" rare, and were overpaying it due to scammers, so they made it more acquirable. Either way, that broke my heart returning. :'( Anyone else got a similar story, like that of the Half Wines?
