Hey, i was looking at the price lists earlier, and it has all these rare items. How did people get hold of them in the first place?

Most of them were holiday drops. Jagex stopped dropping tradable items a couple years ago.

Dya reckon there will be any more holiday drops in the close future?

Every Easter, halloween and Christmas there is a holiday "event". At first, Jagex dropped tradable items, but people got crazy with those, so, in 2003, they stopped making them tradable. Look at Tip.It's guide for more info: http://tip.it/runescape/?page=rare_items.htm :wink:

If by that you mean if they'll drop more tradeable items that you can stock up and sell later, then no, they won't xO

Well i remember last christmas where you made those puppets(marionetts?) you got hats and scarves, they never got rare?

This should be in help and advice section.

everyone had em?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

let me explain.

 

 

 

back when the rares were dorpped they werent rare.

 

 

 

but only a couple people were online.

 

 

 

ie. when party crackers were dropped (crackers give p hats), there were only 3 servers, the servers could hold about 1000 people per server. and they werent even full.. so not so many people had em. obviously there are more people plaiyyng. as i write this there are over 80 thousand ppl online :x

One jagex will never ever make holiday items tradable because of what it does to the economy of runescape. And because now that everyone knows that 6 years from now its gonna bet a like 200 mil or w/e.

but many people got 5 or more crackers... Didn't they?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So like between 5000 and 6000 were dropped. 2/3 were popped. that makes 1500-2000 (about). Half were dropped. That makes about 750-1000 left. 1/3 of those were on accounts that were banned (or quit). That makes about 250- 330 left still in active accounts. Out of over 3,300,000 active accounts. That means one in one-hundred-thousand players have one. Thats why they're so rare.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why the new ones aren't rare?

 

 

 

1. 3 million people got them as apposed to 5000

 

 

 

2. It has only been a year (not even) since the christmas event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why the new ones dont have a huge price tag?

 

 

 

1. They aren't tradable. Kinda hard to sell something that's untradable.
