Tradable Holiday Items Īll of these items listed below are tradable and are worth a massive amount of money to players. Below is information on each holiday drop as well as the tasks that gave the more recent holiday items. Now, these 'holiday items' that were once dropped for fun, are a symbol of greed and are very expensive. The items that are still tradable are now known as 'holiday items', 'holiday drops', or 'rares'.

From then on, players had to do tasks to get items instead of items being dropped for them. They made a task during Christmas, Halloween, or Easter that players had to finish to get an item. Īlthough the drops were done with, JAGeX still did something fun. The more complaints we get the more it proves to me that we really need to just stop the whole holiday-drop thing before the situation gets even worse. Of course I'm expecting we'll get lots of complaints whatever we do :-( Which just goes to prove how horribly wrong the whole holiday-drop thing has become. Please don't go complaining to customer-support or moaning on the forums about the christmas drop. However nowadays many players seem to expect the 'surprise' drop to happen, and so it just doesn't work the same. They were just a little bit of extra fun for people who were around at the time. These drops used to be fun, when we started them - because they were a surprise, and nobody took them too seriously. Many players seemed to get really upset about the drop which is of course the exact opposite of the intended effect. This is because the last few drops actually caused a lot of upset, and resulted in a *huge* number of complaints from players who didn't manage to get an item (or didn't get as many as their mates). I really don't like having to say this, but I can't see any sensible alternative. This is just a quick note to say that there aren't going to be any RuneScape items dropped at Christmas. On December 22, 2003, JAGeX put this announcement on RuneScape's main page: JAGeX, seeing what was going on, decided to stop these drops, as things were getting too out of hand. These players forgot what the drops were really for - fun. Players would complain to JAGeX demanding that they redo the drop. Not only that, but players were also angry if they missed the drops, as these drops were only during one day. Thus arose RuneScape's greed among it's players. Seeing this, players began to buy the items low, and then sell them at an incredibly high price. Unfortunately, as JAGeX's audience grew, people began to notice that these items could not be obtained any more unless they were bought from other players. Usually on Christmas, Halloween, and Easter, an item would be dropped. Originally dropped for fun, JAGeX kept this going on for a few more years. On your way around RuneScape, you might have seen Christmas crackers appear out of nowhere. These Christmas crackers could only be obtained during a certain day during December. For example, in December 2001 during Christmas, JAGeX dropped 'Christmas crackers'. On holidays, JAGeX would drop a certain item. When RuneScape was not fully 3D (known as RS Classic), JAGeX, the company that makes RuneScape, decided that they would drop items randomly across RuneScape on certain holidays.
