it looks the same as the og phats imo (picture below on female char)

the phats on females have always looked different compared to male characters.
gonna be interesting but it does look good

It looks so beautiful. Great job to the artists who designed the gold partyhat!

Looking forward to seeing it in Runescape.

Wow, it looks great! I assumed it would be the OG model, but still nice to see this pretty much confirmed.

Just hope it isn't too easy to obtain, Jagex seem to underestimate us sometimes haha.

Are you getting any phats Raphtalia?

I got 1 phat and im totally satisfied with that. with the new partyhat it makes 2 soon.

small edit: im happy duel arena gets removed so people can start detoxing from all the gambling. (: 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!.

Looking forward to the release! Definitely curious to see what players will do with the golden partyhat (i.e., hold or sell) and how that will affect the RS economy
1000s of Ironmen will hold it for years. It could be the only party hat they ever get. 99% of them will never sell (sell after transferring to non-ironman acc).

The number of Golden Phats that will be created, by my estimate at the very lowest, would be 25,000+

In 2019 RS reached its highest membership count at the time which was 1.1million. So let's assume we're still hovering in that ballpark (for the sake of my estimate +/- a few 100k makes no material difference)

Next we have to consider OSRS is much more popular and makes up the majority of those members. Based on historic online player counts about 25% of Runescape players play RS3 so now we're at 250k (Here we are assuming nobody will come over from OSRS to play the event)

Now we play the guessing game, if only 25% of active members play RS3, and only 10% of them bother to do the golden phat event, we have 25,000 golden phats. 20%? 50k, 30%? 75k and so on.

So my ultra lowball estimate is minimum 25k golden phats will be created, probably closer to 50k-75k+ because a lot of people will do this event , probably including some OSRS players that will come grab one.

Feel free to poke holes in my logic here.

EDIT: Updated my numbers to reflect historical online player counts in RS3 vs. OSRS

For the team to release an item like this that looks so closely to the originals is quite a ballsy move and I'm so excited for it

! I'm sure that every employee could receive a nice Christmas bonus from all the revenue Jagex is sure expecting to receive from this historic promotion.

From a player's perspective, I don't feel anyone should feel that the gold hat will receive the levels of rarity that the originals have within even the next decade or so. However, as with the Black Santa Hat as a relatively-similar example, given a smaller (presumed) quantity, FashionScape is still alive and well and if the price reflects the hype.. the Golden PartyHat will indisputably be undoubtedly quite sought after and relatively pricey -- specifically post the event concluding; all in my opinion, of course.
