Dont like it,at all. But thats for me personal.
Its nice for people who do play a lot and new players. And its also nice everyone can earn one. If its the exact same shape as the other partyhats i will feel forced to buy it. If its a different shape i could live with skipping it.

Grinding the shards (with the risk of finishing with 7 shards) is something i wont do so i will just buy it if its exactly the same as the other.

They cant make it to rare,else players will get frustrated. They cant make it to common either because then it will have no value. I guess it will be like 10k hats,maybe less. Which should bring it below max cash unless everyone holds on to their hat.

Maybe the shards are tradable,to avoid players ending up with less then 8 shards. Though this wasnt announced.

I dunno,i see it as another wreath or bsh and not as a real partyhat. Though if it would look exactly the same as the existing hats then maybe.

Its still a kinda nice idea i have to admit,to give new players the opportunity to earn a new rare that overtime should become more valuable. Its also nice they did limit it to 1 per account.

Hmm not to throw rocks but not sure if I agree with this logic though. The gold phat imo is the best looking phat just like how black santa is better looking than red santa due to it looking like a black beanie, the gold phat is an actual crown almost. It would certainly devalue phats. I mean it is a real discontinued phat, just a better looking color! Gold is the ultimate color in every video game for weapons, cosmetics, etc.

Personally I have 0 motivation to go for other colored phats now. I would rather prioritize other things like trimmed comp cape to match my Gphat and dyes to complete fashionscape. I think it will likely increase the prices of dyes as people will prioritize it more than hats.

In regards to the rarity argument some people say the number of rares impact the prices - I don't think this is true. Aesthetics has a factor too and ultimately drive the price. If there was only 10 fish masks in the game I don't see how that's even a flex when it's so ugly. I wouldn't eve [/quote]

I am with you too. But obviously there will by bias against this phat from current owners and that is ok! Only time will tell if they are right or not. From the past we have seen phats rise to incredible amount of money and then drop like a sack of potato losing half of its value or more. (Remember when blue phat was 40b and dropping to 20b, then going up to 160b and now sitting around 140b? unsure). As the amount of money people willing to spend for an overpriced paper hats go down, and the variety to produce the same cosmetic outfit goes up, I assume phat prices will drop.

It is also worth mentioning that the removal of the dual arena makes it harder for people to obtain quick cash to buy a phat. When the only ones trading phats back and forward are the merchers trying to profit from it, they will have to drop the price to cash them out if they want actual buyers.

for the first time in a while i am looking forward to something on RS3, i personally hope it looks as close as possible to the classic partyhats although i won't be surprised if it looks slightly different in appearance.

most people who want the golden one will get it for free with just a bit of grinding, it's not like there isn't plenty of time for people to get one.

not to mention all the people who will create/play alt accounts to own multiple of them which will be even more frequent if they have a high price tag and the fact they will be fairly common for a long time will only make the original partyhats still seem more desirable due to rarity status so i don't think it will have an overall impact much on original partyhats price tag, they will always be the highest end top tier item to own imo.

All i can say is im very happy that they wont be re-releasing bunny ears or scythe. Atleast this is a level of prestige that not many can achieve. If they made scythe tradable id ditch mine for a nice chunk of coin. Bunny ears on the other hand id 100% hold onto if it became tradable as the market for that would be super slim.

I respectfully disagree. Rarity certainly has the biggest impact on deciding an items price. You used the fish mask example, which is a tradeable "discontinued" item. This item is wearable. If there were only 10 fish masks in game, fish masks would be extremely expensive. Obviously if an item looks amazing, that helps the value but it is not the biggest factor in an items price.

I am going to use the Christmas Cracker and Half Full Wine Jug as an example. The Christmas Cracker is the most expensive tradeable item in the game. You cannot even wear these items to show it off. They are the rarest tradeable items in the game. So if a Christmas Cracker is not aesthetically pleasing and you cannot even wear it, how is it the most expensive tradeable item in the game?

FYI, royal crown looks pretty good and crown of seasons too, though they instantly scream 'can't afford real partyhat' status.

I just don't understand why people want to show off their wealth instead of looking good. Partyhat imo isn't that visually appealing, is it? Would you be also wearing a cyclopean helmet if if was a super rare and expensive item?
I wouldn't trade my mask for any partyhat.

My mask is "rarer" than partyhats because I almost never see it on other people.


Therefore I consider it more prestigeous. A phat is something you see everyday or every other day.

I do understand your opinion and take on this. I personally would wear whatever the most expensive item is in the game. If the yellow partyhat was the most expensive partyhat in the game, I would wear it instead of the blue partyhat. If a bronze helmet was the most expensive head piece in the game, I would be wearing it instead of the blue partyhat. The aesthetics of an item do not personally dictate my desire for it...the value and rarity do.

I do understand how other people are not like this. Everyone just needs to relax and wear what makes them happy. You and I are both happy because we both like our head pieces we wear. That is all that matters.

People seem to be throwing speculation around as to how many there will be without having seen the announcement stream or reading anything about it, other than the fact it's going to be released...

If you head over to the RuneScape Twitch channel and watch their latest video, skip to 55:30 and Mod Osborne says something along the following lines, referring to bad luck mitigation and obtaining the shards:
"We have mitigation. There is an upper cap - you will be guaranteed to get [a shard] after a certain period of time. There is certainly strong mitigation in there. You might be lucky enough to get [a shard] within the first hour, but if you move beyond that it is definitely ramping up exponentially so you're more likely to get [a shard]. Please don't think you're going to be hunting around for tens of hours on an individual category - that won't be happening."


The shards are going to be available for 42 days. There is a limit after training a certain skill etc that you will 100% get a shard.

3 shards are eseentially given away for free or naturally (getting to Yak Track level 15 means training skills, which means a chance at the shard) whilst attempting to get the other shards:
- Talk to the Wise Old Man who is waiting for you outside the Grand Exchange in Varrock.
- At Level 15 of the free track in the Christmas Yak Track event.
- One shard can be purchased with 30 million in-game gold.


I'll be unlocking the hat on my main and alt account. My friend said he's getting it on all 6 of his accounts. Everyone I know is going to be unlocking the hat.

This will be the most available discontinued item we've ever seen.


Edit: there doesn't seem to be any kind of bot mitigation either, a brand new level 3 account can get it within 42 days using the current options, so...
Analysis nailed
