Rares - Estimate how many are left

[meili]

Duke Freedom said 500 phat sets? So roughly 500 of each color. I feel guilty now lol I had no idea they were so rare, I thought there was like 5,000 left.

[das1330]

didnt duke freedom have almost 400 santa hats before he was banned?

[Duke_Freedom]

Anyways the lower demand for green halloween masks keep them below the value of Santa hats, correct?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judging solely by their rarity you'd say that green masks are undervaluated, but because they are just much less popular their price relative to their rarity is much lower which is why they probably have roughly the same price as santa hats indeed.

200

[Verie__Bad]

I think most people underestimate the amount of rares left in the game, and I mean really underestimate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are a lot of people who probablly have secretly hoarded some rare, and others who have just left accounts with them. The amount of people banned with rares affects the total amount very little.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think I or anyone (even Duke_Freedom said he could not) can estimate the amount though, there's too many variables to think about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i agree :)

[xevocm8velexx]

I doubt there are more than 25 half wines in the game.

 

 

 

It's been said in a Tip.It's article

 

 

 

If anchovies became 100% cookable, and you could no longer burn anchovies, how many burnt anchovies would there be in the game? Why would someone keep them if they used to be useless

[Tres]

In my opinion..rarest to least rare:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half Wine

 

 

 

Cracker

 

 

 

Disk of Returning

 

 

 

Pumpkin

 

 

 

Party Hats

 

 

 

Easter Eggs

 

 

 

Masks

 

 

 

Santas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may think why pumpkin is rarer than party hat but ppl usually selling/buying cheaper rares so they are often seen traded...but it doesnt mean they are much more common...they just are much more merchanted.

 

 

 

Im sure there is more party hats than pumpkins...if old pumpkin were item you could equip like latest halloween item, price would be totally different...could be even above party hat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There might be even more crackers what ppl think but they are not often seen because they are most expensive rares so ppl keep them saved and other point is that there is no correct market price for cracker so ppl dont want sell them too cheap...i would not even try to sell cracker or party hat so its easier to sell easter eggs or santas for quick cash...and their price doesnt change much compared to party hats.

[Lageris89]

Excuse my ignorance as I haven't actively played since around 2004 but Duke Freedom was banned? These are harsh times to live in!

[Satenza]

RAE HAS 300 EASTERS

[swampjedi]

I would consider rares collecting dust in forgotten accounts to be gone. Sure, there's a chance someone might remember RS and come back and play, and have thousands of rares, but it's low.

[swampjedi]

That sounds like an awful lot of Santa hats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways the lower demand for green halloween masks keep them below the value of Santa hats, correct? Really according to everyone's estimates, you all agree there are like 2-3k green masks but 10-20k Santa hats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not too long ago greens significantly higher than santas.

[lagatag]

I still have a purple phat, 2/3 santas and a full mask set with maybe one or two extra's. Can't remember, havent been on my account that has them in a while.

[SwreeTak]

Santas - 10,000+

 

 

 

Green Halloween Masks - 10,000+/-

 

 

 

Blue Halloween Masks - 10,000+/-

 

 

 

Red Halloween Masks - 10,000+/-

 

 

 

Easter Eggs - 500

 

 

 

Disks of Returning - 250

 

 

 

Pumpkins - 700

 

 

 

Half Wines - 200

 

 

 

Purple P'Hat - 800

 

 

 

Yellow P'Hat - 700

 

 

 

Green P'Hat - 700

 

 

 

Red P'Hat - 700

 

 

 

White P'Hat - 700

 

 

 

Blue P'Hat - 700

 

 

 

Christmas Crackers - 50

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remember, especially for the later rares such as masks and santas, there were a lot more people than at the beginning for the crackers and party hats. So there are actually a lot. And take this into consideration, even back before RS2 came out and RS truly became popular, there was I don't remember atleast 20,000 or so players at that time. So there was lots more drops and pick ups. :) So the numbers may be even higher for some.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have to agree with that one :P

[Timo]

Pumkins must be rare. In my whole runescape career I've eaten a total of 5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I've not seen them a lot lately.

[killjoyfuly]

I see masks/Santa hats a lot, so I'm guessing there are at least 500 in the game. Thus, they are still not that high in value...yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

500 think more 100 to a server

[X_Fat4lyfe_X]

With crackers, I think people are way off. I saw someone selling 22 crackers at once when they were around 200 mill. Its very possible there are several accounts that have them, and play, like this guy until around 1-2 years ago, but haven't sold 'em.

[Lord_Liator]

I'd guess that there are nearly 10,000 santas out there, if not more.

 

I know of at least two people with over 500 santas each, which makes 10% of my guess right there.

 

 

 

There might be 1100 phats of each color, with a few more purples/pinks than the others.

 

 

 

I have no idea about the others, but I'd assume the rare with the fewest amount is half-wine.

 

 

 

what about disc of returning?

 

 

 

how did they get 500 santa's?`bought? i only managed 102 when they dropped =; :wink:

 

I believe one of them (Lord Liator - used to use this forum a bit back when rs2 came out) bought most of his, but I assume picked up a good amount from the initial drop.

 

 

 

As for the other person, I don't really know her personally, she's a friend of a friend. I think she bought most of em in rs1, but I can't be sure.

 

I've been told she has in excess of 500, while Liator has 500 exactly.

 

 

 

((I'm not saying I know Lord_Liator personally either, I just know for a fact that he has 500 santas, and that he even posted a bank picture with them ~2 years ago).

 

 

 

And as for disks of returning, I have no idea how many they number. I've only seen a total of ~5 in-game over the past 4 years :oops:

 

 

 

edit: found the bank pic that Lord Liator had posted:

 

 

I don't know the exact date it was taken, it was at the latest taken in Aug of 05.

 

 

 

 

 

I did not pick any santas. Only earn them by trading the rich (of course one of them include duke freedom and a few top 20 players at that time)and running errands since RSC. Still a pure F2P till now.... Most of my friends has very much quited the game. Need some help with the halloween quest 2007, pm in game. Some of the older player knows that I am a hard core chicken shooter of RSC. Lastly I truely think this is a great forum. :D

[@Dan3HitU]

Someone at the near beginning of this year did a illegal hex count, and there are thousands of "active" ones remaining, believe it or not, there are less Purples than Blues that are active (Party Hats).

 

 

 

It's just up to people if they want to believe these counts or not.

 

 

 

If I remember rightly, there was around 8,000 (+) Blues and only 3,000 Purples, I'll try find the exact number, I said it in a text file on my old PC.

 

 

 

There was around 600 Crackers by the way.

Ouch actually 8000 is a very small number. 1 million susbcribers right? So 8000 is less than 1%. No wonder I rarely see phats now.

[Voldmort0]

Hmm give me a minute I'll just do a very accurate global poll where everyone will tell me how many they got ;)

 

 

 

 

 

It's impossible to know, as far as we know there could be a few accounts with hundreds of raries, which noone knows about.

[All_Bogs]

Just to chip in, I think that there's FAR more masks and santas around compared to phats. Y'know, when phats were being dropped, most people were like "ooh that nice", and heck, some even cared more for the secondary gifts in the crackers. I'm guessing only few stockpiled them, and even less people imagined how much they'd be worth after a few years. Possibly some people with experience from previous mmo's did a bit of stockpiling, even such a thing even exists in other games. As far as I know, there's no such thing in WoW, for example.

 

 

 

However, once the masks and santas came along, phats had already risen in price considerably, and Runescape's playerbase was quite a bit larger as well. So more people specifically collected masks and santas for the sole purpose of makings moneyz, and I doubt that even ye party hat dupe of old had much of an impact at this.

 

 

 

Still, guestimating numbers is a bit tough. All I know is that I at least contribute with a single semi-active hat \

[Dragons_Might]

Well since i like rares alot I mine as well put my estimates. I'll estimate the amount from people who login regulary to play- there would be way more from inactive accounts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santas - 4 - 5k (Theres tons of these things)

 

Masks (all colors) 3 - 4k (all colors combined)

 

Easter Eggs - 3 - 4k

 

Disks of Returning - 400 or so

 

Pumpkins - 3k

 

Half Wines - 250 or less

 

Partyhats - (all colors combined) 2k - 4k

 

Christmas Crackers - 100 - 150

 

 

 

 

 

Yes. My numbers are quite high. 1m members + 7m f2p'ers if i'm not mistaken? Theres bound to be a handful with rares. I myself have 9 (no partyhats) Imo, my numbers could be low. I have seen people with 50+ santas. 30+ easters. My numbers should be somewhat of a decent estimate. Anyone thinking less than 1k of each is way off though. you may not see many seller for something, but there are quite a few holders.

[Jordanweb]

Yes. My numbers are quite high.

 

 

 

They are quite low imo, i think there are much more rares than we think.

 

 

 

Think about all of the players who have quit.

[Dragons_Might]

Like I said. Active player at the top of my post. And they are pretty low. Typing this while farming too, so I'm not really thinking alot.. lol :
