Blue partyhat

Blue partyhats are discontinued holiday items that players obtained by opening Christmas crackers that were dropped as part of the 2001 Christmas event. It is the most expensive partyhat and one of the most expensive items in RuneScape; the only more expensive items being another holiday item, the Christmas cracker itself.

The blue partyhat plays a small but intriguing part of the Wise Old Man storyline. According to Draynor Bank's surveillance tapes, the wise old man killed Elfinlocks and stole the blue partyhat from her dead body while he was robbing the bank. Before Love Story, he wears the partyhat on his head. After the quest, he gives it to Zenevivia, who now lives in his Draynor house with him. The blue partyhat is often worn by rich players as a sign of wealth.

Trivia

 * The Wise Old Man (and later Zenevivia) is the only NPC that wears this hat.
 * During the Swan Song quest, the player will ask the Wise Old Man for the blue partyhat at the end of the quest as a reward; however, he refuses. You can ask him again after the Love Story quest, although he will refuse, as he has already given it to Zenevivia.
 * The blue party hat is the most expensive partyhat and the most expensive piece of equipment for the head slot.
 * Nearly every single item lost upon death on RuneScape protects over the blue partyhat.
 * The blue partyhat is among one of the rarest items in the game. This leads the street price to be a much larger amount than the grand exchange value, as with other partyhats and rares. The blue partyhat is often sold over its G.E. value for "street value", which can include coins and other rares/high value items
 * The current street value for the Blue partyhat is nearly 4 billion coins.
