legilgalad2 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 not wanting to be unhelpful, but is it because they are rare? :-k Woodcutting does not raise your combat level because most people do not play as yew trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomKnight Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 They came out a good amount of years ago and you cant get them from anywere else than other players-rare+low supply=Expensive, aru (i personaly dont know why someone would spend so much on one tho...to each his own i suppose...) You dare question my eccentricities?~The arus are back~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Like stated above... The source of party hats has nearly died out (party crackers) so nobody obviously wants to open those which are worth even more than the hat itself. That, and a lot of old players who held most party hats have quit the game... There are probably only a few thousand left in the game. The amount of crackers is definitely lower, probably in the 100-200 range held by active players. Or half-full wine jugs which are an item from 2001, 7 years ago.

Jmclark911 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 There is a limited supply, and you can't get them anywhere else. The demand for them has grew so much that the price has risen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Zaros Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 They came out a good amount of years ago and you cant get them from anywere else than other players-rare+low supply=Expensive, aru (i personaly dont know why someone would spend so much on one tho...to each his own i suppose...) Why people would want them? A status symbol really. Shows wealth, and sometimes dedication. I like the look of them as well. I'd like to have one but its not my life goal or anything. They are priced really high for the given reasons. Owning one doesn't mean your any better than the guy next to you, but to some, many rather it does mean that.

gun_hippy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 everything that has been said, plus the fact that people don't want to sell the ones they have because they know they will go up in value - adding to the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agira Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 everything that has been said, plus the fact that people don't want to sell the ones they have because they know they will go up in value - adding to the value. Or not want to sell :) then people offer more for it :) P.S. Not all things in word possible to count in money. Suggestion: You can use Anchor on Waterfiends - is cheap if to compare to GS & effective with crush attack & it hit like Whip.Visit my exp track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
