Apologies for the late reply trip180!

But ah I see. So I take it that demand for a seasonal discontinued rares like halloween masks or christmas scythe are not impacted at all by a holiday or a season?

And if holding onto a non-rare is so risky, how have these items achieved the value they've been currently maintaining? For example, I assumed that with the increased amount of players doing clues for fortune components, this increase in activity would cause these non-rares to drop in value? Because more of them will be brought into the market? Or is their low drop rate and demand in the market so high enough to justify these values?

nobleoblige,

many sell bonds to buy rares when premier comes out. So, that could drive up rare prices. Also, many return to runescape during the holidays, for both the events and because they have time. This might drive up rares sometimes.

I've never thought people buy rares simply because it's Christmas, in order to wear for Christmas. I mostly played before bonds entered the game, and back then no one believed Santa rises for Christmas.

Originally in RSC, maybe people did believe Santa rises for Christmas, but the myth lost popularity before bonds. Everyone has different experiences. This is my experience.

this thread should be renamed item status chat lounge now, since mod kari is letting status threads be openly created and this section isn't item discussion anymore it's item status section.

does anyone know what the loot is you can get from the christmas cracker this year? i can find last years items but not the items for 2020. 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!.

For the time being this thread can remain open as I see no immediate need to lock it. I'll sync up with Mod Poerkie and do a sweep of the comments made elsewhere in the forums and if anything changes I'll reply again here.

If the F-Mods feel the need to lock this thread for other reasons (e.g. replies that breach regular forum rules) that's their right and I'll support it too.


So it can still be locked if and when needed. It's under review as with all status threads made within these forums.

same as last years.

either they're doing the same as they usually do with other events (run the same rewards for 3-4 years then switch them up)

or

they just didnt put the christmas event as a priority to change up this year due to all the other things they were/are working on - steam, mobile ect..

im not arguing with you because you're a good fmod and i agree with all of your locks in the past

but with her saying Mod Kari said :

when it being created would 100% be a reason for a immediate lock because it's just taking 99% items from the original thread, that's basically like she is saying these threads that were locked shouldn't have been [ 17-18-55-66103347 / 17-18-37-66131410 / 17-18-215-66168723 / 17-18-913-66168825 ]

Id like to hear someone's take on this.

less than 5000 Christmas scythes in game (2.7b - 2.9b)
and low end estimates of BSHs around 2500 (17.5b-19b)

Not saying price needs to be or lower 2:1 but over 6:1 seems a little odd.
Either scythes are cheap right now or BSH are pricy
and I'm leaning towards scythes being cheap because BSH ratio to yellow party has been pretty stable for a while now.

Thoughts?
