Here's a much better graph representation of player count: http://www.07tracker.com/playertrack It's a lot easier to use, see, and interact with. At the moment, I think the player base will hover around what it's at now. Hopefully later F2P is introduced which would help out.

Updated the guide to reflect each rare item that has and will be introduced into OSRS.

Read the full guide on 2007HQ here: http://www.2007hq.com/guides/misc_guides/rare_hunting_guide.php Rare items were first introduced into Old School RuneScape on June 3, 2013 with the first rare item being the Scythe. New rare items are dropped every week and each event lasts only a week. After the event, you can get the rare items again during their respective holiday events. Current/Past Events Information The following is a list of necessary information you'll need to know about rare items and how they're spawned: Only one rare item is spawned in a random location per world. Once that rare item is picked up, it will spawn in another one of its locations. This means that in each world, there is always one rare item spawned in a random location. There are 100 locations the rare items can spawn in (listed below). Rare items do not show up as red dots on the minimap. Rare items can also spawn in the Wilderness. The best way of rare hunting is by sticking to a single location and hoping worlds until you find the rare item. It is suggested to go to a location that has multiple rare item spawns (listed below) to increase your chances of finding one. Share a Skeleton Costume or Jack Lantern Mask Location Found a rare item and want to give it away to another player? Go to our forum thread here and post the location of the rare so that another player can pick it up! If you're looking for one, visit the link above and post your in-game name there.
