Talk:Discontinued rare items

Should this page be renamed to Discontinued Items and Holiday Drops? --Richard1990 02:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, but with lowercase on all the sub-words. Hyenaste 11:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Training Bows
Shouldn't Training Bows be added to this section, as they were made discontinued on 17 September 2009?

English vs American
RuneScape is english. But we have Americann dates:
 * American: December 22, 2003;
 * English: 22 December, 2003.


 * I didn't know the English and American dates were written differently. Change them if that's true.
 * With dates, we should stick to the way wikipedia does it: 22-Oct-2006, then it's clear to everyone --Eucarya 07:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see how either December 22, 2003 or 22 December, 2003 could be ambiguous to anyone, ever. It's only when you get into all-number formats that it gets confusing:  is 01/02/2001 1-Feb-2001 or 2-Jan-2001?  But DD-MMM-YYYY is always the best format for shortform.

Amulet of Accuracy
Can you really obtain it again after losing it? I've talked to Mizgog, but I haven't gotten any option to ask for another one. --Kiyomizu 03:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * On RSC, I know that you cannot, since mine got transferred to RuneScape long ago, and he refused to replace it. I haven't tried it on RuneScape yet. Dtm142 23:05, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Will rephrase it to clarify what I think it means. Ace of Risk 23:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

-Unfortunately, should you lose your amulet of Accuracy on RSC, you will be unable to get it back. Im 100% certain of this. --Pkthis 23:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Mod Post
On the rants forum specific rules, I quote:

Mod Peter

This is just a quick note to say that there aren't going to be any RuneScape items dropped at christmas. I really don't like having to say this, but I can't see any sensible alternative.

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). Many players seemed to get really upset about the drop which is of course the exact opposite of the intended effect.

These drops used to be fun, when we started them - because they were a suprise, and nobody took them too seriously. They were just a little bit of extra fun for people who were around at the time. However nowadays many players seem to expect the 'suprise' drop to happen, and so it just doesn't work the same.

Please don't go complaining to customer-support or moaning on the forums about the christmas drop. It won't change anything. 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. 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.

Should we add something about this?
 * No, we already linked to the news post. That's just a copy and paste of the news post, not a unique Jmod post. Dtm142 21:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Purple Rune
Can anyone find a picture of the original purple rune from RSC? I remember seeing a picture of a purple rune 2h in a trade screen on RuneVillage but their forum went down and the image is long gone now.
 * I already created a fake image using my own shades of purple:

 * Purple rune was never released. It was only ever used by Andrew and Paul while developing the armour.  When it was officially released, it was cyan blue.  And this was long before you could poison weapons, so a poisoned purple rune dagger wouldn't really make sense :)
 * Also, if you are going to add something like this to an article, this would be the wrong article to add it to. Just because a colour was changed doesn't mean that the old colour was a discontinued item; they just transitioned all purple rune to cyan rune.  In other words, no one could hold purple rune because it was the item "rune helmet," "rune 2 handed sword" etc that was changed.  So don't add it to this page; perhaps instead in the general runite section.
 * Purple Rune was released, I was there when Andrew and Paul walked around showing it to people. Then when they did the actual release into the game it was cyan. You forget I'm just about the only RS Wiki member here who's played since RSC debuted. 21:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Extinct?
Don't forget, just because we can't obtain them anymore, it doesn't mean the items are no longer in the games code. J-Mods have access to things like the Ghost Buster 500 and Snowballs. =) 22:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have been through the forums many times and if my understanding is correct, the J-mods would see thier personal use of an item such as this dangerous in terms of rants and whatnot. I can absolutely guarentee that these items will also never be rereleased except on holidays, so I would say that they are truely extinct from regular game code.Mjc3 00:56, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

2007 Halloween
Halloween 2007 is going to be as great as ever! If you are one of those players with the wonderful Scythe, then start counting down the days till Halloween as this one will be unmissable!Pogster4 12:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Pogster4

RSC/RS2
I think that we should indicate if an item was relised in just RS2, or in both RS2 and RSC.

Discontinued items
Hey, does anyone has the possibility to rename the page into 'Discontinued items'? Cuz I mad a free article about the Holiday Rewards.--. 15:17, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that this title and the present one would draw confusion with items that are considered rares. After all, the official definition by Jagex of a rare item is discontinued. The title somehow needs to clarify between the two.Mjc3 01:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Why was this page moved?
As above, moving pages require consensus from the Wiki community. Unless there is consensus, article should stay where it is, and not be moved as one wishes. 02:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. It probably shouldn't, but what can you do now? -- 03:02, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Frog Token
They aren't being removed from the game, they're simply allowing you to have more of the costume. The rewards system will only be for random events that give rewards such as coins, herbs, or costumes. and they definitely aren't adding in-game value to the tokens Axearmour1 20:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * But I'm pretty sure they did say that they're giving them a use. -- 20:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

One they are rare now as they have all been changed to event boxes and no longer exist in the game! Two it says they are giving value to them in the behind the scenes february newspost. Check it yourself. Also they have removed brokn pickaxes aswell.
