I'm not saying everyone should sell sell sell. everyone should probably keep one or two.

this is a hypothetical but if a player is maxed in any combat style, has sub t90 gear, can't afford herbs to get to overloads, less than ~300m total wealth, and their top moneymaking method is like 6m an hour 1 year into the game. it would probably be better to sell the hat get some gear, get the levels and unlock some better moneymaking content. this is opportunity cost of keeping the hat.

sure it'll go up and go down in value but it's not doing anything for them as is. it really would be game changing for some players. that account growth will outpace the price increase of the hat before they can buy it back.

anyways someone said 40-70M for the hat. probably hyperbole. but that really feeds into the hoarding conspiracies 😂 assuming the 30m shard was used for all hats, time spent, bond for membership, the absolute price floor/min value in my opinion is more around the 240-350 mark.

While all the other hats are 30b+ which were once common too and more easily acquired than this one.


You mean 20 years ago? Lol

Phats were 300k-500k back when I started. Took a week to earn 500k back then but now it takes like 2 seconds? Welcome to 2021 :P

Any1 remember how great Fally Garden was back then?


by the time my main got banned and in 2006, blue was the most expensive at ~15m, cheaper ones were like 5-10m, santas were barely breaking 300k, full hween sets 1.2-2m. my memory the numbers probably arent super exact but it should be in that ballpark. god willing one of these days i'll remember the password to the old alts :|

very nostalgic thinking back on the trade worlds. such a pain buying items for quests at west varrock or fally east. most ppl will never know all treachery of trade worlds back then.



Your numbers are off. I bought my first partyhat (a red one) for 18m in 2004 after rs2 was released. Red and yellow were the cheapest ones at the time. I know this for a fact because my irl was quitting runescape and I asked him for the gp he had on one of his accounts (10m) because that's how much I needed to add to my gp to be able to afford my very first partyhat.

I'm not doubting that's what you paid 04. I just know as my truth it wasn't that high by the time I got banned (August '06). there's gotta be some archived info out there with dates and prices instead of disparate memories of old ppl like us lol. I'll try find some info after work.

2005 i believe i bought my first hat,a white for 280m. It took like 5 years before they went significantly higher and broke 1b.
Golden partyhat though is way more common then any of the older hats ever where.



It's hilarious to see how many of you lack any knowledge whatsoever.

The original hats were being dropped like bones back in RSC. Purples were duped into thousands and thousands.

Golden Partyhat is way rarer than the original hats were back in RSC, and the current price reflects that, please, use your brain.

If the golden phat was as common as some of you make it sound, would it really be worth 500m?

Absolutely not.

The price reflects the supply. At the current price, which is around 500m I'd say there's around 3k to 7k, at MOST around 10k hats in-game, but I honestly doubt that we are that high yet.

The price and supply reminds me a lot of the Black Santa hat when it was released


We can all discuss nicely, no need for that. I also corrected you couple of times and never said that you don't have knowledge. :)
Original partyhats were extremely common but don't forget there were only 5 servers that could hold 500 people at the time.
Every single partyhat was duped but vast majority were Purples. Thousands - yes, but Jagex banned and removed most of them actually.
I wouldn't speculate will Golden be rarer than original partyhats. I guess so but that's not really important as 20 years passed, numbers are important at this time for comparison.
By my own calculations + information from Jagex we are at around 8K hats at the moment.
Supply of BSH and GPH will be nothing alike as BSH will be x10 rarer or little bit more.

@Destruction

You attempted to correct me with your own assumptions.

I am just talking facts, and using facts to prove my point. It doesn't matter how many servers there were, when a single account/person could hold and collect thousands of the classic hats.

Please share the "calculations" and "information" which you have collected so far, and let us take a look at them xDDDD

Those were not assumptions from my side but facts, every single one. You were the one who was writing things that are not correct. You were wrong at pretty much everything from number of them to ammount of hours needed. You write very few things that are correct actually. Those ''facts'' are just in your head, no proofs of anything, just writing random things and numbers that suits your agenda.

Obviously can't have 10k in game yet because we will probably not even hit 10k for this whole event, right?

I'd probably say there will be between 2000-10k Golden Phats in-game at the end of the event.

The same people that say "I am not touching these hats with a 10 foot pole" are the same ones that will be hoarding to these and other rares lol. The audacity. Have to give it to them, very clever strategy.


Yup dude its a huge conspiracy to buy out all the golden phats :P You better get them now before they are 10b each by next month.

All jokes aside given you can literally farm these new rares I would start buying them up around 40-75m each. But hey what do I know about merching rares :O


Oh of course my theory is a conspiracy but yours is the true north oh the almighty owner of a blue phat. Lmao. I never said to buy them now but why sell? If someone is crazy enough to sell it at 40m, they must be desperate.

That's exactly why God made ALTS.
Keep 1 or 2 Gold Phats on Main, sell all the rest now!
You can make and sell an unlimited amount (exaggerated a bit) of Phats during this event. If you haven't already earned atleast 3, then you must be sleeping!


Dude, not every player lives in runescape like you lol. 1-2phat and the rest sell? more like 1 phat, and continue enjoying the game on the fraction time I get to enjoy it if I am not out with friends, or working. You know... have a life... ring a bell?

These people spend too much time thinking about virtual money O_o I bet if you all use some time to learn real economics and finance you will be in a better place outside of the game too. Damn, possibly don't even want to play anymore as real life gets better for ya!

This. I know players that are farming 2 phats a day afking. Nobody is hoarding yet. and whoever is won't see profits for years... If you like the item and don't need the money keep it and be happy. If you're trying to get rich by buying now then be prepared to lose all your money. People hoarded fish masks too. by the thousands. and how well did that work out for them...
