"Heroes will also assist the God of Death in two Eye of Het mini-quests as they go into the Tomb of Het in search of a powerful item that OSRS Gold will assist the young gods as part of the Elder God Wars saga," the press release states.
In a fresh event that starts now and runs until December 3, 2022 players will be able receive a brand new version of the iconic "Partyhat" which is a item that was originally only available during a Christmas event earlier in 2001. The original version was available in red, blue, green, yellow or purple, RuneScape's "The Golden Party Hat Hunt" quest will enable players to unlock one of the highly-sought cosmetics with a metallic shine.
As the hats for parties were only available in limited numbers for a short time and were later removed and any player fortunate enough to own one may sell them for billions of game coins. Although the hats are strictly decorative and provide no benefits in terms of stats, they're right now among the top items on the Grand Exchange, hitting the highest price of 2.1billion gold in 2015.
To get their hands on head-on-heads in a Golden Party Hat, players will need to meet "various objectives" and collect eight golden shards as a reward for their efforts. Once all eight have been obtained, they can be made into the Golden Party Hat.
However, not only is this event time-bound and only one golden hat is available per participant. Much like the 2001 hats, Jagex says of the golden hats that "after the cut-off time, they will never be available to earn again!"
The question is whether the new item disrupts the in-game economy and lowers the value of party hats or becomes an even more premium item remains to be seen RuneScape Gold for sale. Jagex will be marking the occasion in the same manner however, by transforming the game's Grand Exchange location into "a Golden Party Hat winter wonderland".
