There is no reason to give out 2 partyhats to each person. 2 crackers sounds about right to me as there will be a partyhat sink with the release of rainbow partyhats thus allowing them to retain their value.

@the people saying that partyhats give people wealth they didn't work for. The rares currently in circulation didn't get to their respective values over-night. They wouldn't be valuable if there wasn't a demand for them. Obviously there will always be a demand for them and their price will rise regardless of supply.

In short, it doesn't matter how badly a portion of the community doesn't want rares to exist and gain value. There will always be supply and demand. Theres nothing you can do or say to stop them from rising, so buy them now and don't cry later when you can afford one.


There is reason to give out the Partyhats..because that was originally the intention of Jagex. Doesn't matter if it doesn't make them that rare, they're meant to be cosmetic silly items. Look what it did to RS3. Yeah, I am lucky enough to have em, only cuz I've played since 05. Jagex needs to fulfill its promise of making them easily available, at least for this years event, as they did in the Halloween event.


Edit: saw post about untradeable Black Phat + Rainbow Phat and 2x sets for everyone, YES TO THIS. That is what was originally promised and needs to be executed unless majority votes otherwise which it doesn't look like it.

Awww.. In fact I was looking for the quest the most.
I hope there are some quests in plans for OSRS. :|


I hope so, some of the best projects I have worked on have been quests. I look forward to the possibility of there being more :)


Good news. :)

So based upon feedback, it seems there is a mutual agreement that not getting two of every partyhat alongside two of all the other tradeable Christmas items is not the prefered idea.

So instead, we've gone back to the original drawing board plan and are ofeering two of every partyhat, an untradeable rainbow partyhat AND an untradeable Black partyhat. We'll throw the rainbow one in for good measure but you will not need to cut up any partyhats to make it and neither will it retain any street value, it'll just become another untradeable vanity 'rare'.

We've also looked at some of the slayer feedback and there's been some concern over the introduction of additional XP when completing a task quickly through time trial slayer. Instead, we'll go down the route of offering additional points and leave the XP rates exactly as they are.

We've also taken extra feedback on board and are adding the slayer gem to the slayer mask allowing you to right click the helmet to see how many kills you have left giving the helm the same options as the gem. This will be inclusive when building the helmet.

How does that sound?


Questions are fine. If people are concerned about additional XP from time they'll just down vote this option.

I noticed a lot of talk about magic first few pages...we don't need another weapon. Staff of the dead is great!

What about a 65/70 def armor for magic that doesn't degrade? At the moment the best we have is I believe infinity. Maybe a type of armor like Subjection? A type of armor that adds % dmg like how it was pre eoc. Magic needs a good buff if we ever want it to compete with range or even melee.


bumping this, want a mod to see this!

the dmg boast is negotiable but a non degradable magic armor that requires 65/70 def would be nice!

Yay! Now, everyone is happy and myself included of course, keep this kind of work up Mod reach! I always like how you guys listen to the community and changes accordingly. :p Kudos to you, Mod Ash, Mod Mat K, and Mod Nexus! Big respect from a huge fan.

Personally i would rather have a rainbow party hat which will help retain some value to the one item people always knew as a "rare holiday item" i know everyone wants one but i when i think of runescape in 2007 there was not everyone running around with party hats. Nor do i really want to see a rainbow party hat atleast it will help shred the already over populated party hat sets

VOTE NO TO GIVING EVERYONE 2 PARTY HAT SETS =)
