I know no one can know for certain where masks/santas will go. Yet, is anyone else surprised these other rares have yet to go 10x like the others?

They are simply to common to go up that much that fast in a short period of time. Plus, there is a point where public demand stops and it seems that merchants can't really get santas to get over 30M.

Im hanging on to my red partyhat until I come back to the game for real this time.

 

probably around the time they add a new boss dungeon, or something that will occupy my time.

 

whats the word on red/white/blue partyhats?

 

ive noticed that the red's are going up like 1m/day instead of the usual 2m/every other day.

A lot of people are selling phats in World 2 GE. Friends are also getting them in GE for max.

 

Spectrals and Arcanes are being bought as well.

 

Partyhats are still going fine; and yes arcanes and spectrals are being bought out right now. However, it's not a very strong buyout and you should be able to get one on the GE after some patience.

 

How rare are crackers? The price never changes on the GE. Is it nigh impossible to find one?

 

There are so few crackers in Runescape that are actually on active accounts and the majority of them are on merchant accounts. No one really wants a cracker these days besides other merchants so their street price is mainly merchant driven.

It's because of the change in GE mechanics and some old GE sell offers on reds from awhile back (a whole explanation is posted by me a few pages back). Red/white/ and blue partyhats are the strongest three who have the longest to go before reaching their peak GE price. Reds do however have a chance of crashing if something like PvP is completely fixed or something to sink money into is released. The white and blue have a significantly smaller chance of that happening to them.

 

 

lucky shot there ahm, enjoy the hat ^^.

 

Ya he did get lucky however, I can't see yellows, greens, and purples doing a lot more rising before hitting a price where people just don't think they're worth it anymore. The other three are a complete different story though.

although that can happen, its possible that the suggested crash somewhere in the future can also effect higher phats like it did 1 year ago. they'll just keep falling and everyone who owns partyhats would either downgrade or sell it entirely for junk.

 

since purples are too common for a 200m item, i'm thinking of selling mine pritty soon. :D

I guess someone sold one..?

 

Sadly the amount needed for update is most likely around 10. This is the first update in over a year (I know there was one or two while the GE was still new).

I do not see the lower three partyhats lasting too much longer. They're getting to a price where the majority won't care to pay that much for them. It all depends when the public demand falls out and the merchants can't hold onto them anymore. Now given they could last even another month, but everyday past that is stretching it.

I believe that phats won't see a big dive until the new skill is released. When that happens people will want their money for the new skill; if it's a buyable of course.

Retired

2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes

 

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

This is a good point, but it wouldn't necessarily take a new skill to cause the crash. A big new tradeable weapon could do it. Anything that would cost a lot of money could do it. In fact, even a revision to an existing skill could do it. For example, what if Jagex released some beastly new high-level prayers? Players would start scrambling to buy dragon bones, which would skyrocket in value. Even this could trigger a dumping of partyhats. The higher the hats go, the smaller the stimulus that will be required to set off the crash. They become more and more unstable as they climb higher and higher.

So, uhh... When do H'Ween Masks (or at least red and green) go back up? I held on to them because I figured it would only take a few days after the 76k'ing measures, but so far they've made very slow or negative progress.

Green has already started to stabilize and I imagine red and blue will follow. They are no longer crashing very hard. I agree with Punitive_D on the p hat issue except that he forgot to mention that it'll take more to crash something like the blue and white than it would to crash the purple.

Or they could use the bones as a bartering tool to get partyhats :o?(Just like when the herb update came out). That's another possibility, although i do think the lower 3 partyhats are leaning towards the outcome you stated.

I can't believe just how much P-hats have dropped since the change to the Wilderness, it all started then :(

 

I can.

 

With all the bots removed, they were the reason why rares hit absurd prices to begin with. Wanted a party hat in 2005-2006? All you had to do was load up 25 instances of Aryan (a major bot back then) and mine rune essence and transfer it all to a main.

Will H'weens go back down slowly or is their current price their "normal" price?

 

H'weens' seem to be stabilizing right now, so give them a few days to reach a stable price. I imagine this will be their price until something to drain money is introduced.

1 egg = purp and 1 pumpkin = a red now. :unsure: gentlemen...i can sense the crash already.

If what you say is correct then the crash is alot closer then we think, or the eatable buyout is stronger then I have ever seen in an item that is as common as eggs.

 

How far do people think the crash will go? Drop 10M? 50M?
