Why do people buy RARES?

Featured Replies

ok, my question is why do you buy rares.

 

 

 

I buy rares, not so much to show off, but to invest and merchant.

 

I rarely wear my partyhats because i get sick of people trying to follow me around and trying to scam me because my combat level isnt that high.

 

 

 

*Another reason is that i once died with santa (killed by evil chicken when forgetting to use protect magic and using pro melee instead :wall:

99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)

Powermining to Victory! (80/85)

usually i buy them to invest and merchant

 

 

 

occasionally to show off

To show off... but sometimes people have all they want/need and they go ahead and buy extras

Good old pking...

Investment,Show off,Symbol of Wealth,Merchant.

 

 

 

It's also a goal to work towards.

Thanks to WithTheQuickness for the sig!

oh yeh forgot bout tht. Sometimes i set myself a target if im really bored ::'

because its RARE and to show off :shock:

[Admin edit: you need to upload your picture if you want it displayed]

i merch rares so i can use the profits to help improve my skills like smithing, magic and ranged, for which u need money to buy runes, arrows and bars...

they are rare and they are a symbol of wealth or how long you have been playing. shops buy phats for about 2gp but you can sell them to players for 100 mill.

To accomplish a long-time goal, showing off (I'll wear it like 24/7, exept of course combat, wildy, duh)

 

 

 

That is, IF I ever get a phat. :lol:

I bought my mask for a few reasons:

 

 

 

I don't intend on ever selling it, but seeing it rise in price always brings a smile to my face :mrgreen:

 

 

 

It looks really cool with green dhide.

 

 

 

it gives me a sense of...identity. Though that may sound a little wierd. There will only ever be more and more high lvled players, people who hit 99 in whatever skill, but there is a maximum number of rares, one that will only ever go down. Esentially there are 2 things that, if lost, would make me quit runescape. The first is my mining level, the second my mask. They are the 2 biggest achievements of my runescape account, and 2 things that I probably couldn't get back if I lost.

 

 

 

I'm an f2per, so any sign of wealth is nice. Members have more ways to make money then I can count, and there's a lot more to merchant with...

Quit runescape, now playing EVE-Online(Mail Cambarus and say hi :mrgreen: )

Its status.... Its like driving in a brand new convertable with 20" rims - that spinn - you also have that huge amp sitting in the trunk with the music vibrating the whole neighbourhood.

 

 

 

Something like that.

I have blue mask. I've always thought (besides white phat) it was the nicest rare to have. I worked really hard back then and bought it for 800k which was a lot at cb 42 and F2P. But I'm very proud of it and no matter what my skills are now I know I did alot for it and I earned it without ever scamming others or using autoers...

 

 

 

Now I just wear coz I know people fancy it and it looks so d*** good on blue mystic :P

2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 smile.gif
2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August)

Agh, I seriously don't know why people like the way masks look now. I was so mad when Jagex changed what they looked like in the RS2 switch. Not to offend anyone who likes them or has one (I owned a red mask), but I think they just look dumb, on anything.

 

 

 

But the only reason I buy rares is for the investment. Even if they are decreasing in value at one point, it's still going to go up. If only I bought 13 Easters at 3M each... I'd have a phat, not 3 santas... :evil:

I got a purple phat when they were 25m. Was my biggest goal ever. Got it and sold it back for 25m 2 days later cuz i didn't feel like having it. I thought its dumb after i found out its worth 1 gp in the store

Haha, just the same here, except that i'm talking about a purple party hat.

 

Its just a fact that in f2p, after you have gained a certain amount of money, its too much

 

(well not really, but i semi quit and if i would spend all my money on skills, i would be busy for months using these resources)

 

to spend so you start looking for rares. First you get a santa or mask, but then you want to get higher and look for the phats. That is the ultimate thing to achieve for a f2per IMO (itemwise).

 

 

 

Ever since i owned a green phat and sold it, i wanted one back and eventually got it.

 

 

 

It makes me feel proud that I have achieved something that very few people have :thumbsup:
