I would support the return of ALL rares in an UNTRADEABLE form as a reward from clue scrolls.

This would allow these items to be displayed as a prestigious items to those who have completed sufficient clue scrolls in order to obtain this very rare reward.

I have come to an idea regarding the implementation of rares on OSRS. For about 1 weeks, one person will be able to gain a rare of his choice when he reaches 100 quest points. People will be able to claim it from Diango 1 time as it will be tradable. It will soon become a rare as they won't be available anymore in the game. Also, there won't be alot of them, which makes Rares impossible to hoard.

Tell me what you think

Yes to make it tradeable

I Personally think if its an extremely rare drop there still is going to be a lot of camping. I think they should be given to RS members that have been members for longer then 5 years or more. First things first that's how we'll keep it rare, cause there wouldn't be that many hard core veterans longer then five years, second they have been the most committed coming back year after year truly helping to shape the game.

BUT I NEED MY BLUE TO FLAUNT MY WEALTH TO ALL YOU UNWORTHY NOOBS

yes caps were needed

except my christmas crackers are worth more then your crown, and your crown shows your wealth (even though some of us had them since they were introduced) in EoC

"rares" is a category of discontinued items that are saught after...people today still say "man i wish i had a rubber chicken or a scythe" this is their chance to obtain those items...and rare in one game doesnt have to be rare in another...its like w1 in rsc

Whatever the final result is only a certain amount of rares should be released by the amount of players that are on old school runescape, and then never be able to be obtained again, otherwise eventually they wont be rares anymore

thats the point...with rares not being rare anymore, eoc called btw they want to remind you that "rares" are rare there because they are gone, collecting dust in someones bank, and being worn by the few horders.

as ive said more times then i care to count "rares" is a general category of discontinued items that most people want...in EoC where the main game is "rares" are rare, but in old school "rares" does not have to be rare since this game is the "nostalgia" runescape and a new beginning. if you want this to be 100% old school then simply vote NO on everything since the oldest oldschool accounts were made in Feb 2013, almost 12 years after the easter egg was dropped

so what if everybody is running around in partyhats on oldschool? my old school (back when rsc was simply known as runescape) that was common and ide love to see that again.
