yea but recently a lot of bots, goldfarmers, rwters etc got unbanned which means more rares have been re-introduced to the game which also means lots more wealth/gold has been introduced into the game and it all started around january of 2020 which coincidentally is also around the time the prices of rares started dramatically rising

I have always had this information saved in my notes. Apparently a JMOD posted this information in 2008 somewhere on like reddit or the rs forums. I don't have a number for white partyhats.


As of 13th August 2008: # of Phats left in game:

1629 Blue
2865 Red
3610 Green
4517 Yellow
2625 Purple


This seems kinda reasonable to me.
No way. How can there be so many greens and so few purples?

When phats tanked, years ago, yellow fell, during the crash, below purple. And yellow flipped quickly in the ge. So, I'm open to yellow being more common than purple. But green is rare. In 2008, green was slooow to flip. It is legit rare and legit unloved. No one wants it.

We need to fight in the wilderness to settle this dispute. I don't know how to fight in eoc, but I need to prove I'm right in combat. :)

But um, really those phat numbers look impossible, not that it matters.

Green Hallowe'ens I would strongly guess while they were still in GE
there were ~2100 actively traded through 1b-max

Easter Eggs I would strongly guess
there was ~900 actively traded between 300m(may-2020)-current price

With certain rares you can tell how low/high volume that item
is on how often that GE price updated

These guesses are Based on how many i bought in a given price span.
Also active traded amount doesn't put a number on total active in game

Do what you want with this as only jagex will truly know ;)

The only reason pumpkings aren't higher is Krim shows his stack to everyone. They're really a great opportunity; they just don't go up I guess. But someday, they will rise.

Well the individual numbers and ordering might be wrong i dont know about that tbh. But the order of magnitude i think is correct. Below 5k for the most common one and above 1k for the most rare one,in 2008 that is.

Oh. Blue, green, red, yellow, purple is my guess of most to least rare of those. The wiki has the actual original percentages.

It’s a shame there is no white there. I don’t remember when restricted trade ended etc.

When phats crashed, I bought yellow at 600, purple at 650, and green was in the 700s, not as good of a deal; maybe 760. The best deal was yellow, and I can’t claim to know why.

We had very good data back then in r quark; so, I could predict prices from the price reports. It made flipping extremely easy. During a crash like that, 50m margins were common. I ended that with 9 yellows which rebounded above purple. Purple was 3x= blue shortly after it all.

I'll copy my post from before.

You don't need to save these in your notes as you can find it on the internet. Every player know that Jagex never revealed numbers, I don't know how you fall for it, you are older player.
Anyways, this is what guy said after he made up those fake numbers.

rofl had you going, 85% is better then 100% fake..........



i knew i forgot one..........



TOTAL FAKE



i dont implode with failure, i explode with success!

Lol, are you cutting and pasting from elsewhere? I did see your comment before. 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. :(

Yeah, the guy who made those numbers wrote this.

My post is sentence together and the other guy said ''total fake, pwned'' etc.
