Best Drop Party Scores


Eyrelex II

Recommended Posts

I just started up my old school account and ive been spending alot of time at the GE trying to merch (with not alot of success...) but i almost always see some drop party being advertised and initially i ignored them since back in the day i was never really able to get anything, i think the best thing i mightve gotten was a rune scimitar or pickaxe. But this weekend i decided to try my luck out and i dont know whats changed but ive been able to score pretty big at almost every drop party ive been to. In total im pretty sure ive netted around 1.5 mil in items which includes mainly rune weapons and armor (including trimmed and god armor pieces) so im about half way to a bond now. So suffice it to say drop parties have become my main money making method at least until i get my skills up.

 

But what have your best pickups been at drop parties?

The best drop parties were during the dicing days, lol. Before they banned gambling and gambling clans hosted drop parties all the time on the major trade worlds with godswords and other expensive stuff, because they could easily afford it and to them it was cheap advertising. Not that I've ever been able to pick up anything there, though.

 

I remember I came pretty close to picking up a Berserker Ring at a drop party when they were like 3 million, but I misclicked and someone else was quicker. I was pretty annoyed at the time, but 3m is really not much to me anymore nowadays so it's funny to look back at.

The best was this one time a few years ago when someone started hosting a bunch of drop parties, quizzes and other random challenges. They went on for hours and I got like 10m worth of wealth before I had to go, lol. That was pretty significant to me at the time.

 

Though nothing will beat the time where World 9 was bugged and you could walk through the walls in the top of the entrance gates at Lumbridge castle. You could run all the way down to Tutorial Island. You couldn't walk on tutorial island since we were confined to second "floor", but someone decided to host a drop party all the way over there, lol.

For reference.

That sounds pretty sweet but i guess those gambling clans never came to f2p worlds or maybe this was after my time cause i dont remember ever hearing about them. But it sounds like youve done quite well from drop parties, im hoping that my luck will continue since im starting to remember how much of a grind old school is especially compared to RS3.

 

And that tutorial island party sounds like it wouldve been pretty interesting to say the least, wish i couldve seen that.

Not related to drop parties, but the World 9 thing reminded me of what happened back in 2012, when there was a leap second and all the servers crashed instantly.

Everything RS3 was down for hours, but the RSC servers somehow lived through it. Hundreds of people logged onto RSC during that time and it was awesome.

I got drunk one night and dropped full guthix because I hadn't played in like 4 years. Made someone happy I guess

I mean, 2008 me valued full guthix as like a PHd in Runescape. Now it's just a bunch of pixels

Lol I remember when people would just stand at Varrock fountain, and I'd hang out there with my full Guthix like I was the shit.

Then I moved my butt and started making some money, made a steady 300k a day mining coal and iron and making it into steel bars. That was shit even by 2007 standards but it was a lot to me and I didn't know any better. I upgraded to Zammy then Sara.

 

Now I do stuff like dropping 14 million in the F2P crowd at the beach because I wasn't really playing much anymore, lol. Can't even regret it because I didn't care, and if I wanted it back later it's so easy to make it back.
