I don't think the intention is for them to be as rare as people might want them to be. When the og phats dropped they were considered worthless because everyone had so many of them. The only way these will grow in value to be anywhere near the old hats is through time of gaining new players and losing old players who have X number of them.
I still wait at the general store for a phat. One day, one last phat will be sold to the general store, for me to rebuy.


Haha they use to have a Red Phat sitting in the Fancy Clothes Store in Varrock in RSC! The damn thing never restocked!

You can only create 1 partyhat per account.


If you take out low altable shards like premier club clue scrolls the miniquest and marks of war that leaves you with 7 shards. So there is definitely going to be under 100k of them.



1. you get for free from wise old man
2. quest which the previous ones have 0 requirements to complete im going to say this wont have any either.
3. Croesus for marks of war?
4. Combat skills - killing rats
5. Gathering skills - fish shrimp
6. Artisans skills - cook shrimp
7. Support skills - pickpocket men
8. 30m gp.

Interesting. I am sure there will be ALOT more then most people think.
I havent been on the game in almost a year and have returned for the Phat, with all my alts, plus my wife returned with her acc's, plus my cousins with their acc's and my brother with his acc's and his frie...I think I made my point.
Many old players with years and years of accounts will return and earn it on any account they can. People who live on OSRS will come over, earn it and sell it to benefit their other acc.
People will end up spending more GP obtaining the Phat then it will be actually worth, and then, after quite some time, it will eventually go up once we all get bored of the game again and take our Phats with us.
I'm glad they are finally spicing up the game again, and actually giving us a reason to play, even if it is short-lived.
Yea, new rares are fun.

The game generally seems far better in at least many respects. But I just like merching.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

I don't think it will stop with the golden party hat release, if they get a decent subscription boost from this. I would expect more releases "5th year anniversary" "Get your rare golden santa only this Christmas" "only this Halloween a chance to get a rare h'ween mask" etc. As new rares come into the game it gives more players the opportunity to get on the Discontinued items train, and lessens the monopolized concentration of wealth for the time being. The release of the golden party hat opens a door to a variety of future possibilities which may or may not happen.

Do we know if the golden partyhat can be lended via the item lending system? I know, it'd be low priced when the first ones are in the market but I still have to know.


I don't see why not?

Heres my opinion
This will not affect traditional partyhats as the rarity of traditional partyhats is what is going to differentiate from the golden party hat. Of the traditional phats yellow has taken abit of a hit with this news but, the mod on the live stream the other day said it's going to have particles and look orange in colour so I think yellow phats will rise again once the actual golden phat is released.
People that are saying this gives them a reason not strive for a traditional phat, didn't have the ambitions or the ability to achieve one anyway. I feel this rare would have around 250- 300k introduced in the game and every player, his dog, fish and cats will all be hoarding one or multiples.
Rarity is everything in this game items like half jug wines, disks, easter eggs, pumpkins have proven this fact.
The positive thing going for the Golden phat is that it Seems already popular amongst many of the newbs that will never ever own a classic phat. It also has alot of attention with everyone looking to own atleast one or hoard hundreds if the demand to hoard hundreds and own multiple golden phats could cause the price to rise and finally its discontinued so even though there will be a substantial supply upon release the amount in game could only decrease.
I think upon release the hat would be around 30-200m but will take atleast 5-10 years to have any significant value attached to them.
