[mon3maka]

when is the first time rares became..well rares and which became the most expensive first? dont have to be right just wat u can remember.

[razzzzzza]

Party Cracker/Phats, it was and is the first ever "Rare"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

might even be half wine or disk of returning come to think of it.

[krisc6]

well ive only been playing 5 months but im guessing it was the party cracker.everyone popped theirs(except my f2p buddy) for their phats

 

 

 

edit:party cracker:christmas cracker #-o

[confused]

Some partyhats used to be more expensive than crackers.

[Bludragon124]

After they stopped coming into the rs world. (I.E. when wine became a single sip drink, when disks stopped being sold by thormac and the black hole went away, when party hats stopped being dropped because the christmas event was over, same with masks, eggs, punkins, and masks.)

[hohto]

Half wine was before crackers and phats ;)

[mon3maka]

ya i always heard that wine was first also but how much did it go for?

[nemesis1]

I think the first rares(christmas crackers/ phats) were from december 2002? or was it 2003 :-k

[Robert_Rdam]

I guess partyhats and crackers were the first ones. :D

Listen to the man, he's correct.

 

 

 

Come to think of it, when were pumpkins?

Also masks?

Actually, pumpkins came before party hats. They were the first holiday drop, on the Halloween before the Christmas when christmas crackers were dropped. I don't know if half-wines or disks are before pumpkins, though.

Pumpkins were dropped in halloween of 2001. Cracker + phats were X-Mas of 2001. Easters were Easter 2002. Masks were Halloween of 2002. As for disks and wines, it doesn't say on tip.it. These all were taken from Tip.It's "Rare Section" under General guides on the main website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: You know how you get a random item with the phat? Could you possibly get a d-chain? That would be freakin' sweet to get a blue phat, plus a d-chain.

When the holiday items were released don't answer his question though. When they were first given out, they were not considered rare, nor were they for a long period of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given that, I'd go with Half-Wine because Jagex forced it to become rare when they discontinued it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: I would assume that you could get a d-chain.

I know, but I stated what order they were given out, so if we get a date, we know it came out before/after these things.

The official list from Jagex of Holiday Drops is here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin October 2001 These were dropped in October 2001, lucky players picked them up and kept them. They can be eaten to restore 14 hitpoints.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas cracker December 2001 Christmas crackers can be pulled for a partyhat and other miscellaneous items. To pull a cracker, use it on another player.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partyhat Obtained from Cracker Partyhats are obtained from pulling Christmas crackers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Easter egg April 2002 Easter eggs were a drop which lucky players picked up. They can be eaten to restore 12 hitpoints.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween mask October 2002 These were dropped in October 2002, lucky players picked them up and kept them, you can wear them to cover your entire head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santa hat December 2002 Santa hats were a drop which lucky players picked up. They can be worn on your head.

 

 

 

Just have to figure out when the disks of returning were no longer for sale, and when Jagex discontinued 1/2 wines.

Well it sort of helps, but it doesn't give any exact times at which those rares actually became rares. Like I said, the time of their release doesn't isn't always the same as the time they become rares. It could have been months after till people realized what they were dealing with.

[TheTallestDwarf]

Rares become 'rare' the day after. Because, you can no longer get them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half of wine was discontinued around 2001-2002. I don't remember.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And disk? I have no freaking clue.

[l4s3rbra1n]

probably crackers since they are the most expensive now :mrgreen:

Yes they were technically rares the minute they stopped dropping, but people didn't realize that for quite a while. Why else would they trade party hats for R2H's?
