It is still very different by every single aspect from original partyhats.
I would disagree, I actually saw a lot of people who merch for living like you say claiming that they will have impact so they can buy real partyhats for much lower price.
Partyhats started dropping after duel arena cap/removal and some prices of yellow and green partyhats are fabricated from newly created accounts with 1 or 2 posts.
I could care less, just stating some facts. My honest opinion about gold one will not change.
I still think it will be very common but price should stay relatively high because a lot of people who do the event will keep it for themself so they won't really be that much in circulation plus hoarders will do their part.
Idea of gold partyhats and gold santas are great but I'm not too sure is this the way to do it.
I would personally make them much ra

I am making several assumptions as to why phats will be devalued (note the term devalued , not crash ) Obviously they will remain a high valued item nonetheless.

1- Phats are mostly used for fashionscape. Not every player that owns a phat has self-esteem issues like the people earlier in this thread that come to a game to feel "superior". A lot of players are actually great people that help the community whether it is by helping fresh account obtain their first kill at gwd2 or providing knowledge.
2- Many players will be satisfied with the shape of the new phat, suppressing the need to spend extra 20b on a "old school" phat and using that money to buy actual equipment with actual stats to play the game. In the end, this is a pvm oriented game.
3- There is a bubble in the rare department that has not burst due to the increased number of players in COVID times and increased amount of gold

Just want to point out that I agree with you on this. Hence the reason why I am calling out the lack of recent trades. Seems like phat market is slower than usual as fewer real trades have been reported.

Of course, thank you for fair and reasonable answer, we are here to discuss.
Yeah, when I wrote devalued I meant on the term, the item name. Partyhats are arguably the strongest and most recognizable item in the Runescape history and it has been like that for 20 years and many years to come for sure. Prices of classic partyhats should remain stable or drop little bit due to duel arena removal, we'll see.
Yeah, Jagex said that they will release ingame model of the partyhat before the update, still waiting on that one so I can write more about it. I don't think it will be bad, no problems with that.

About superior thing you mentioned, not sure what to reply on that one.
We are all different people and I do understand when someone feels that way. I know it's a dream for some since they were kids etc. I don't have to support any of that but I do understand, not trying to force anything upon anyone.
Some people merch it every day, some buy to keep, some consider them trash, whatever.
I just think they should make them rarer than this because of the history. It will be kinda weird to see thousands and thousands of them being traded every day while we see 0-1 blue being traded for example.
The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.

I agree with you. There must be some kind of way to prevent new accounts/bots to create the golden phat. On one hand I would want to see some kind of limited supply. But on the other hand, I also want free trade and the opportunity for every player to get one. Back when phats were first released, it was a very common item too. Chances are that the amount of phats in game is greater than what most people like to admit. But due to many inactive accounts, the amount of actively traded phat is low.

They haven't mentioned anything to stop new accounts/bots, but hopefully they do. It would probably help if instead of just giving you the shard from the wise old man, you would have to have completed his quest series to be eligible.

It's still possible to get the hat without the wise old man, but would take a lot more effort for new accounts/bots.

If they dont make the golden partyhat the exact same shape pointy curves and all it will be a huge disappointment for rs players. it should be as amazing and in its true icon and classics form .only took 20 years for this opportunity its been far to long for a disappointing release. players want the same thing like the classic except obv different shade color and name .. when you type partyhat in the ge it should come up with the other 6 colors and blend in as a 2nd yellow golden looking hat it shouldnt be a different shape or have different angles .

Have they said what type of methods will give shard chances?

For example, will using Shb give you a chance for a shard from agil?

Will portables have one for their respective skills? How about proteans?

Or is it just "normal" skilling methods?


I tried to reply to this post, so just check last post above ^ O_o

They said it will be like the methods for getting strange rocks etc. So dummies, shb etc won't work. "Training" won't give you a shard, but *training* will.


Thanks for the info. that makes it alot more clear about what works and what doesnt.
trusting certain pc lists or prices of items or websites that dont belong to jagex will get you into trouble notice: external websites and trades are your responsibility, dont get fooled!.
