Jagex is just making new rares,they know they cant touch the classic rares.
Green santa and purple ween wont come back i think. They say it might but i think they say that just to deter merchants to some extend. A different santa hat this year. Maybe a blue one or a golden one (golden could be nice). If green santa doesnt return this year then we might have some indication about what will happen to these items in future.

Purple haloween looks great. Its easily the best looking of all the new rares,much better then green santa.

Anyway:would be nice to have the limit be removed and the waiting is a bit frustrating. They havent given any updates around the update either so i would not be surprised if it takes another 6 months or more.


It would seem to me that Jagex's solution to old rare unavailability is the new versions, which in my opinion, will never be discontinued and will continue to enter the game every few years. The only way to guarantee every player can reasonably achieve a santa hat is to add a version that will always be available. The same goes for all other rares. I have a strong feeling that we should expect to see the Green Santa and Purple H'ween rereleased every 2-3 years. These, combined with the Golden Party Hat that at this point, I'd confidently bet are more common than diabetes in America, make a realistic goal for new players to aspire to, in order to be able to eventually own a variant of these classic cosmetics.

If Jagex thinks it's a major issue that new players can't reasonably hope to get these iconic items, their solution certainly wouldn't be to make more items that new players couldn't get.

1% ge tax is good for inflation if they want to keep releasing bosses that spam out alchables to make pvm profitable. Now their plans for the rares that they are keeping hidden is kinda spooky.
I dont think they are going to release them again out of thin air but they might release rares from banned accounts (there are a lot of them in those accounts, and probably enough supply to keep the demand going for a while). If they do so they will probably release them in small amounts, after they got an idea how many are traded through the ge once the update hits.
Other possibility is they adding new discontinued items with same rarity as phats for example that could compete. Simplest idea would be black, orange, grey phats so on so on, a lot of colors to go through. Or other desirable cosmetics all together.
If you bought your rares because they have sentimental value or whatever keep them. If they are merely investments i'd say better safe than sorry.
That's just my opinion, i'm keeping my shit rares and edibles because they are already cheap as hell so no point in selling. But my phats are gonna go idc if it backfires, got no attachements to them


Great, sell them. So... what are you doing with that gp then? There is nothing to spend it. No end goal to strive for. Having GP for the sake of having GP is boring imo.

And those who say rerelease... lol. A lot of people will leave, a lot of people will stay... but envy will remain constant in your heart. Nothing will take the salty away.




Hmm you say there is no end goal, thats what the dyes sets are for, yea might be cosmetic, but its still an end goal to those who do nothing but clues 24/7 and only getting like 1 blood dye a year with countless hours, and if you got all sets, all dyes, all weapons, then it is a true achievement, overall I think nothing will change with this update except easier way to get anything.

Guys we are talking about a company who literally banned free trade lol. It's possible. They may re-release discontinued items.

It would kill the game though... so I hope not.


To be fair, they did eventually give us the real story behind why they removed free trade (they were literally being choked out by credit card charge-backs from gold farmers).

Jagex has made a lot of stupid decisions, but I don't see them pulling a WOTC and revoking their discontinued items policy under the cover of night and hope no one notices.

A reminder for those who think 1% will be insignificant; Mod Kieren reported that the 1% tax in OSRS removed 180B in just the first 6 days. Imagine what will be removed in RS3s inflated economy Gathering all the Aurora dyes :P

I am hopeful but skeptical of the tax. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that way more cash enters RS3 through alchs and coin drops than does in OSRS. So even if we got that same 180b sink, It would be a much smaller impact on the RS3 economy as a whole.

Being that the ratio for swapping gp from OSRS to RS3 is currently ranging from 1:10-1:12, I would imagine the tax in RS3 to pull out well over 1T per week (10x 180B). I expect no amount of alching would account for the mass wealth removed from large quantities of items traded at over 2B ea, let alone the even larger quantities of resources sold daily such as fish and ore. Feel the wealthiest players in this game claim cash is king right now. Many seem to be selling their inflated OG rares, and dumping into the newer more promising items not yet inflated. Good luck to all merchants :) Gathering all the Aurora dyes :P

Swap ratio has more to do with demand than supply. OSRS has a more active player-base at any given time of day. Pretty much any time you see the homepage say 100k+ are active, at least 80k+ are on OSRS. So we can't just make the assumptions you suggest. Even if we take the first page of the most traded items for the GE, we don't even get to 1b total that could be taxed, and a massive chunk of that value comes from spirit shards, which will see a massive decline when the cash stack limit increases, as they will not longer be a secondary currency. When you remove spirit shards from the list, as they will lose a large majority of their trade volume. And after those are gone, OSRS's top trade volumes are on average, almost 3x that of RS3's. Sure RS3 has more items at 2.1b+, but the vast majority of those items aren't even traded on the GE to begin with. Spirit shards are more than 50% of the top traded items total value. Without them, the top 8 items traded in OSRS move more cash than all top 100 in RS3.

I don't deny that a large amount of cash will be removed, but I would be highly skeptical that it will even put a dent in the amount that enters the game daily.
