As discussed in the previous post, "street" prices are prone to fabrication, and are basically meaningless because flip/merch/investors allege prices that suit their profit margins.

I think it isn't necessary to compensate billions because those who have Partyhats already received the benefits of enjoying the Partyhats earlier than others and they also took that risk of spending billions on a cosmetic.

Plus, everyone knows that the markets are never safe.

Everyday, someone loses their bank, should everyone be compensated?

But, there has been some discussion similar to your suggestion to clean out the Partyhats, reintroduce the Partyhats and compensate those currently holding Partyhats.

The idea takes the form of a "Holiday Salvage" item that would be be a prize won on Treasure Hunter but also automatically given to those who have Partyhats:

This idea appears to be in line with your suggestion, there might be "Holiday Item Tokens" to be specifically awarded to those who had Partyhats.

So, you're more than welcome to expand on these ideas, what are your thoughts?

First, recall that the wet partyhats from ports need drying:

This wet partyhat can then be dried by a new 115 level invention machine! There is a 50% chance of getting a normal partyhat of the same colour, and 50% chance of getting a broken partyhat. Broken partyhats can be worn too, but the look a little bit different.
This invention drying machine could be heated by the flames to increase the success chance. Since heat helps to dry wet partyhats, they can be strenghtened by the flames!

Shark attack can be a traumatising experience for the partyhat, and it would be relieving to know that the shark in question is no longer a threat. To comfort the partyhat, the flames should stem from the burning bones of that particular shark who performed the attack!

But, how can we find the attacker shark? This is where Divine Partyhat Map Shark Boss Bubble comes into play! This can be won on Treasure Hunter. When activated, it will be moved to the coast that is closest to the current location of the attacker shark! Possible locations include all of the Gielinor coast line!

The player will be given a map that spesifies the location of the Divine Bubble. When they go to fish from that Bubble, a Shark Boss will spawn. It can be killed to obtain shark bones.

Now we can incorporate the firemaking skill into play! By burning the shark bones in the drying maching, the wet partyhat can be strenghtened by the flames! This will increase the chance of receiving a normal partyhat to 75%! There is also a 12.5% chance of getting a broken partyhat and a 12.5% chance of getting a burnt partyhat!
This is awesome Jokku!

There's also the "Flameproof Aura," maybe it could help prevent it from burning?

For The Win, Support Divine Partyhat Map Boss Bubbles, and stuff, on Treasure Hunter!!! 'o.0'

That would basically take 10b+ away from people who already own one. Personally, it wouldn't affect me if they were reintroduced but I'd wager that they won't be. It's unlikely they will end a trend that goes back almost two decades and potentially cause players to quit. They could possibly clean out every party hat currently ingame, and automatically compensate those players based on current street price, and then reintroduce them though.

Yea I don't think cleaning them out is an option either: first due to the spike in inflation that it would cause, potentially so much so that it'd be classified as hyperinflation, and secondly because from today, the price of a partyhat could both increase or decrease, so you'd be robbing the owners of that chance.

OG partyhats are simply such a big part of the foundation of the game that shaking that foundation by reintroducing them in any way would certainly lead to a disaster, one way or another.

OG partyhats are simply such a big part of the foundation of the game that shaking that foundation by reintroducing them in any way would certainly lead to a disaster, one way or another.

1. The foundation of the game is making stuff to go slay some monsters. Partyhats are a cosmetic item, a bronze helm is more useful, so how can it be claimed that Partyhats are the "foundation" of the game?

Partyhats are simply cosmetic holiday items that were shared with everyone.

Consider now, when so few people have Partyhats, if all the Partyhats were removed, the vast majority of players wouldn't even notice.

So why would you claim that Partyhats are the "foundation of the game?"

2. Owners that flip/merch/invest Partyhats have been robbing wealth from people for years.

Flip/merch/investing is a leech mechanic, when applied to Partyhats this mechanic is
overpowered and prone to be abused.

So the most cost effective way to nerf the flip/merch/investing abuse is to release the Partyhats again with a method such as Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

3. Tend to agree with your point about inflation so, I see this as another reason to release the Partyhats again and support ideas like Partyhats on Treasure Hunter!

Anyway, there's some excellent ideas about how to release the Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, from Yelps Wheel Partyhats of Fortune to Jokku's many brilliant ideas such as Divine Partyhat Map Boss Bubbles and much much more! Keep those ideas flowing!

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, it's a multiple win! 'o.0'

5A. Whatusaytome suggests that the super rare category be named Onyx black or Hydrix

6. (A number of people) inspired the suggestion of a tradeable item that may be won on Treaure Hunter which can be combined to make Partyhats (akin to "Salvage" and "Alchemist's Amulet Fragments" )
~
The most recent additions include Jokku's idea about Partyhat Maps as well as Whatusaytome's suggestions regarding the super rare category (variously referred to as Diamond, Onyx, Black, Hydrix)

The most recent discussion appears to be about the super rare category.

How common or super rare should winning the Partyhats on Treasure Hunter be?
~ Kalea Sprite said :

With Partyhat Maps there are several rng obstacles, plus skill requirements, and perhaps even quest requirements (and, perhaps, combat requirements if there is a shark boss to battle )

So, Partyhat Maps is an excellent way to address the question of how common or super rare winning a Partyhat could be because of the rng obstacles, [etc] ~
Click here to see the most recent discussion about the Divine Partyhat Map Boss Bubble.

As you can see the numerous rng obstacles could be configured to the desired chance of winning a Partyhat on Treasure Hunter.

Having said that, I'm personally in favor of drastic measures because the flip/merch/investing of Partyhats is drastically overpowered and must be drastically nerfed.

For The Win, support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, it's the right thing to do! 'o.0'
