Dev Blog: Rare Items
Quick find code: 380-381-57-65435561
This is a very tricky subject, since it cannot never be just like in the good old days.
I do support rares being reintroduced in to the game.
Rares should stay rare, so that rules out any constant (even the smallest) flow of rares into the game, ruling out some of the methods listed on the first post.
Being able to obtain one, shouldnt have any skill requirements making it fair for everyone.
I have a suggestion that ive been thinking about for a while now.
I would give 3-8 rare items to everyone who complited the latest holiday event.
Jagex must be aware on how many of each item were in this new Old School RuneScape, before they were patched out at the begining.
They need to calculate the ratios on which each of the rares are given out, to keep the balance that we had between the looks and rarity.
Everyone should also receive atleast 2-3 different rare items (has to be calculated so that the right rarity ratio remains), so that no-one wont feel bad/ get lucky with a huge stack of a specific rare item.
In my opinion this is the best solution, because:
1. It cannot be abused. (Which is the most important factor here!)
2. Rares stay rare.
3. Keep the "correct" ratios of each rare.
4. They are received from a holiday event, as it was back then.
There might be many more positive aspects on this, but those i feel are the most important ones.
After all, what would be more suitable way to give them out, than a holiday event, after which people didnt even know that they were left with a fortune in theyre hands (making it a big hoarding contest).
People back then didnt know what they had, so it would now be exactly the same, as no-one knew that they would receive any of the rare items from the FIRST Old School RuneScape holiday event.
About the non-tradable rares...
I think that they could all just be reintroduced into the game in the upcoming holiday events.
Then let the time make them rare once again, as they wouldnt be available never again.
