challenge of obtaining a Runescape Rare Item

Runescape Rare Items - Are They Keeping Runescape Popular?

I was recently thinking about all the things that might keep a game like Runescape successful. Now Runescape has a lot of things going for it that keep it addictive. Firstly the fact that they off free Runescape accounts is a wonderful feature that no doubt keeps loads of people happy and entertained without being required to pay for the game. Then there is the whole friends factor, with Runescape being quite an interactive game where you can make lots of new friends with whom you can enjoy yourself with and pass the time with. Then obviously there is the whole thing of setting goals and wanting to improve skills and just make those couple or levels so that you can do an assortment of new things in the game. Then I got to thinking about goals, and I couldn’t help but feel that for so many Runescape players one of their all time long term goals must be to obtain themselves a wearable Runescape rare item. I mean this is probably one of the ultimate challenges in Runescape these days considering the prices it costs for such rare items.

The challenge of obtaining a Runescape Rare Item

Working on skills and raising levels in Runescape is one thing, but the goal doesn’t change, you just need to mine X amount of coal or iron to get X level or fish X amount of lobsters to get X fishing level, but one target that is forever changing is the goal of earning enough Runescape gold to buy a Runescape rare item. Currently, as at September 2006, santa hats, the cheapest of the wearable Runescape rare items are selling for 25 million gp which is far in excess of most Runescape players’ budgets. So to be able to work for and save up enough money to purchase one of these items is surely one of the greatest Runescape achievements. This achievement doesn’t even take into consideration the fact that the inflation in the Runescape rare item market is insane, we are talking 100%+ every year. So unless you can make millions of Runescape gold virtually overnight you will no doubt be paying more that you original expect to pay for such items. This increasing price makes this one of those challenges where the level of achievement is forever ever moving upwards making you work harder, smarter and longer to reach your goals.

For me Runescape was always about reaching little goals, and I can’t help but feel that this is the way that so many other Runescape players play this game. So if reaching goals is what one of the major attractions of Runescape I can’t help but feel that the big daddy of the Runescape goals has to be obtaining a Runescape rare item, and if obtaining this Runescape rare item soon becomes impossible then maybe Runescape’s popularity may start to diminish as well.

Runescape Rare Holiday Items – Party Hats, Santa Hats and Halloween Masks

   Posted by: admin Tags: , , , , , ,

Runescape rate items or discontinued item are Runescape item holidays s that were introduced into the Runescape marketplace for a single day to celebrate a , this is why some have chosen to give them the name of holiday drops. So on what holidays were these rare items dropped? They were dropped all over Runescape on Christmas, Easters, and Halloween in 2001 and 2002, but unfortunately were not dropped in 2003 when Jagex decided that the introduction of these rare items was detrimental to the Runescape economy in light of the fact that people were hording these holiday drops and they were becoming quite expensive items because they were rare. They have now become the most expensive items in Runescape by a long way with prices for these rare items now reaching millions of Runescape gold and no doubt some of the rarer party hats will soon be worth over a billion Runescape gold pieces. 

Runescape Party Hats or Phats

Runescape party hats, often referred to as Runescape phats, were introduced into the game in Christmas of 2001. These Runescape party hats were not actually dropped in Runescape themselves rather they were introduced through the form of Runescape party crackers. These party crackers were dropped in Runescape for free and players were able to pick them up and then use them on other players. Then just like with normal party crackers inside there was an item accompanied by a party hat. One player would get the item, which was random, while the other player would get the party hat. Now at the time obtaining the item that the party cracker contained was normally far more valuable but within a matter of weeks these Runescape party hats became exceedingly valuable as people realized that there was obviously a limited number of them available.

So with the dropping of these party crackers and party hats a new market was created, the Runescape rare items market. People began collecting these party hats attempting to collect Runescape party hat sets which are basically where a player had all the different colors of party hats, which includes, blue, white, green, yellow, red and pink (purple). These Runescape party hat sets are now worth well over a billion Runescape gold which and there is a very vibrant market for these items.

Runescape Easter Eggs

The Runescape Easter eggs were dropped in Easter 2002 and unlike the wearable party hats were edible this time healing player quite a considerable amount of damage. Whilst these items are still traded and highly valued they are not as prolifically traded as the wearable Runescape rare items nor are they as sort after.

Runescape Halloween Masks

These Runescape Halloween masks were the second wearable holiday item that was dropped in Runescape. This time the masks were just dropped rather than being contained in another item unlike the party hats were, but like the party hats there were wearable. This time the Runescape market was more aware at just how valuable these halloween masks were going to be in the future and Runescape rare items began collecting them from the outset and many players collected all three Runescape halloween masks, red, blue and green to combine them into Runescape mask sets. These items like the Runescape party hats are exceedingly valuable, though not quite as valuable due to the fact that there were many more Runescape masks dropped and collected than party hats.

Runescape Santa Hats

The Runescape santa hats were the final of the Runescape rare items to be dropped as a holiday item. These santa hats were dropped for Christmas of 2002 and were like the masks in that people were well aware at this stage as to just how valuable these santa hats would become in the future and as such people again began collecting and hording them from the outset. Today these Runescape santa hats are the popularly traded Runescape rare item and of all the rare items available they are in the highest quantity still remaining in the game.

Runescape Rare Items Future

All of theses Runescape rare items are exceedingly valuable and their value is fairly likely to grow considerable higher in the coming months and years. The rates at which the market price for these rare items grows is amazing with most of these items more than tripling in value each year. It has already been mentioned that already a Runescape party hat set is worth well over a billion Runescape gold pieces and I’d imagine that it won’t be long until a single Runescape party hat will be worth over a billion Runescape gold pieces by itself.

Runescape Rare Items for Sale

   Posted by: admin Tags:

A lot like Runescape gold there are many Runescape rare item sellers that will actually sell rare Runescape items for money as well as have other runescape items for sale. Of course this is against Jagex’s rules this doesn’t stop the trading from taking place. Now whilst some people opt to buy there Runescape rare items from such gold selling stores many players spend countless hours saving their Runescape gold up to be able to afford such items. Players literally spend months saving for these particular Runescape items and with the rate at which prices inflate for these items it is near impossible to be able to earn the money without the price having doubled by the time they have saved enough gold for their prized rare item.

Runescape Item Duplicator

   Posted by: admin Tags:

The only time that the prices of these particular Runescape rare items have ever really crashed was when someone managed to create a Runescape item duplicator. Of course they used this item duplicator to start duplicating Runescape items, and not just any Runescape items, the Runescape rare items, mainly pink party hats which were at the time worth many, many millions of Runescape gold. Obviously Jagex and the Runescape market realized that there was a sudden influx of party hats for sale on the market and as such they found out how players were duplicating Runescape items and removed the glitch from the game. The damage however was already done, the Runescape rare item market had already crashed and with knowledge that it was possible to create a Runescape item duplicator to exploit runscape glitches put added uncertainty in the rare item market and prices stayed low for quite awhile.

   Posted by: admin Tags: , ,

Runescape Items – Rares, Duplicators & Free Runescape Items
Runescape is a simple and free game played by millions of people and one of the most enjoyable parts of it is collecting all the Runescape items that are available. There are literally thousands upon thousands of items to collect in Runescape. Some are obviously more valuable, rare and prized than others. There are even items that no longer are able to be created which has created a whole industry of specific Runescape item trading in itself. This is the Runescape rare item market consisting of things like party hats, santa hats, holloween masks plus a few other items that are so sort after that it costs millions of Runescape gold to just buy one of these items.

 
 Runescape Rare Items – Holiday Drops
These Runescape rare items, often referred to as holiday drops, were a feature of Runescape back when the game was in its first couple of years. Essentially Jagex had items spawn in different locations all around Runescape on certain holidays, namely Christmas, Easter and Halloween and these free holiday item drops were meant to be a celebration of the event, and well these yearly events only happened once a year so these particular Runescape items were only able to be collected on one specific day of the year and it didn’t take long before people realized that while demand for these items was increasing but the supply was always decreasing as less and less of these items could be found on the market. This of course forced the prices up to the point where they are now, at millions of Runescape gold to buy just one of these items, and with every passing month the price of such Runescape items just continues to climb.
