Heya folks. This thread is about why the prices of all of the rares below the partyhats have stayed steady for the past months (i think its been arouund there). I was just wondering why the partyhats are hundreds of millions of gp when the easter eggs, pumpkins, santas, and h'ween masks are still at the norm amount as they've been for the past months.

One of the most common misconceptions about rares is that they continuously go up in price in a steady and consistent manner. This is simply not true. Every now and then rares experience a small price drop or at least price stagnation. Usually this is the result of extreme price increases in the recent history. In turn, such periods of price stagnation or falling prices are generally followed by a period of rising prices. Eventually the prices rise too high, which results in a stagnating rares market again. And so on.

There are few certain things that make phats worth the most. If you look which rares are the most expensive, it's wearable+cracker as it's almost inexistant and has a phat. Wearable rares are more than just invests: they are status items. Everyone can see your phat when you wear it but no1 can see your 20 pumpkins which you keep noted in your inventory or in bank.

 

 

 

Why party hats are worth more than santas or masks then? Well, they are rarest of all those wearable items. When they were dropped, no1 had any clue they'd even stand a chance to be worth something in future. Because of that many were abandoned soon. Second is that with less players and servers than with masks or santas, less of them were dropped. I can guarantee that there are less phats than masks or santas.
