highlanders Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 partyhats are being sold for 1m, with the rest junk in w2, so they are effectively valueless/worthless/priceless (all those mean the same thing, just usually used in different contexts) Srsly? If I had the damn patience, I would definitively grab my pickaxe and go mine lots and lots of granite, then buy myself a nice partyhat for 1M. But I have no patience, whatsoever, for Runescape anymore. Tutti la pazienza e stato utilizzata! It's a shame I guess, 3 years ago I would have killed for an opportunity like this. Nice mining level plus a 1M partyhat, what more to ask? Oh well. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 This reminds me of science questions like, "What defines life?" It doesn't really matter. Yes, yes, I know the definition of Life is in fact very important because it decides the humanity (humane, if they mean the same thing) of biology experiments, robotics, etc. But honestly, in your day to day life,does the definition of life change ANYTHING for you at all? I bet almost everyone on earth could get by very well if the definition didn't exist. I'm not saying such things aren't important, it's just that they don't matter to most people. The same. I'm sure some people care the Partyhats are discontinued or not, but let's say they aren't. Does that rock your life at all? I'm sure it doesn't. OT: Yes. They are imo. ~It's Super Effective!

sup3rpur Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 From what i've heard, there are under 10 (maybe even 5) crackers left in the game. I could be wrong (obviously) but ive heard this consistantly. Also, nobody is going to undo a cracker that is worth 300m more than the thing inside of it Retired after 2 accounts and 8 years of scapin...2 accounts over 2,000 total...may my life rest in peaceBrawl Code:5327-0581-3706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACCOUNTKIL-ASDFAF12312FAF1 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 My answer is... Yes! Well in a way they are discontinued because you cannot make more other than the ones in the Christmas Crackers. But on the other hand they aren't because there are still Christmas Crackers which can make new partyhats! But there is a question 'Who in the right mind would crack a rare Christmas cracker?' which concludes me to saying yes they are discontinued.

net180 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 From a programmer's point of view, unless jagex did something *really* weird with items, cracking a christmas cracker creates a new partyhat item. Thus, partyhats are still considered as still coming into the game, and thus must not be discontinued.

Gigajie Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 they can be brought back into the game. but theres only a limited amount that can come into the game. making it discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 By default something can only be discontinued or available. Discontinued items can only be obtained from people who own them & recieved them on a special occassion (or if tradeable, bought from another private individual). Available items can be obtained by playing the game, killing monsters, finishing quests, buying from shops, etc. Anything that's base value can't be increased is discontinued. The availability of party hats is determined by the total amount of christmas crackers and hats in the game. Since it's no longer possible to gain new party hats or crackers, the item is discontinued regardless of a cracker being able to create them. If you could suddenly trade in a partyhat for the best weapon/armor in the game, the market would probably see a small influx of party hats due to people pulling crackers (if the weapon/armor was more valuable than a cracker), that still doesn't make them 'not discontinued'. The base maximum value of partyhats is always the combined amount of crackers & hats, even if those crackers haven't been pulled. No new pieces can ever enter the market unlike in the case of weapons and armors. The amount can only go down due to people accidently alchemizing them, dropping them, dying in remote locations & unable to recover, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylez Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This debate seems kind of dull. There's one of two answers, based upon opinion. 1, Party hats ARE discontinued, as crackers are no longer dropped. 2, Party hats ARN'T discontinued, as they come from crackers. WHO CARES? Either is fine by me, it doesn't really matter whether people think they are/not discontinued simply because they are *slightly* different from other rares. :?

Lan735 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well.What i have to say about this is.....Party hats arnt discontinued in a direct way.The christmas crackers are discontinued.Lets say there are 10000 party hats in runescape that arnt owned by anyone(selling in GE or something)thats not discontinued because for 1 thing because they are coming into the ge some time or another by people who want to make a quick 30-40 mill.So they arnt discontinued.They are in circulation.Nobody would drop the party hat,they wont fight with it,they will probably sell it within a few days.But the christmas crackers are discontinued.They wont come in anytime soon.Everyone i know used their christmas crackers to get the party hats.so heres a question: Are party hats the ones that are discontinued or are the christmas crackers the ones that are discontinued.

This is the same for ALL items, discontinued or otherwise. Discontinued means they are no more to be created lol. And what's that about making a quick 30 - 40 mil? GOOD LUCK. There is no money to be made with party hats, the market for them is effectively dead. :| And to answer your final question, both and neither. Jagex calls them holiday items, as far as Jagex are concerned the only discontinued items are the Disk of returning, and half wine. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendyboy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Good thread topic. I must admit, I have never even thought about it before! haha Im afraid that it is a really simple concept to grasp. Someone earlier in the thread nailed it hard on! There are a set number of crackers. This does not increase under any circumstances. All crackers contain a partyhat. It does not matter if they are contained within the cracker, or they are "made" on the time of opening, the fact that there is a certain number of partyhats means it is discontinued. :thumbsup: 16x Black mask1x Dragon Chainbody1x Dragonic Visage32x Dragon BootsObsidian Drops:-13 x Cape/ 6 x Shield/ 6 x Maul/ 750+ Onyx Tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Party hats are definately discontinued. There is a set ammount of them ingame + possible party hats from crackers. That makes it discontinued. No more than this set ammount can possibly exist ingame, since the crackers are discontinued aswell. If crackers weren't discontinued, you'd have a point. Now you don't.

04churchj Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 A partyhat would still be continued, if you take into the account that a cracker is a partyhat then they are still discontinued, yes more will be added into circulation but will only be limited to the number of crackers left. However the amount of people who quit with party hats still left on the account that are not sold back into circulation will be the opposite effect of opening a cracker. So infact partyhats are still discontinued whether or not crackers are opened or not. A better question would be will one day would partyhats be totally eradicated from circulation if the people with party hats had eventually quit the game without selling the partyhat into the market.
