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 2nd most expensive item in RuneScape; the only more expensive item being another holiday item, the Christmas cracker itself. It is also the single most expensive wearable item in RuneScape, and as such serves as a symbol of wealth.

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 lends 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.

Because the Grand Exchange can't keep up with the rising demand for this item it is rarely sold for cash and is often traded for rising items or other rares.

Trivia

 * The Wise Old Man (and later Zenevivia) and Elfinlocks are the only NPCs that wear 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 lent it to Zenevivia.
 * The blue party hat is the most expensive partyhat and the most expensive piece of equipment for the head slot.
 * Anything with higher alchemy value than 1 coin will keep over this partyhat, so be careful.
 * 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 (5,000,000,000 gp), as with other partyhats and rares.
 * During the Update to the Grand Exchange there was a player named "Sicria" who Glitched it and made everyone sell it to them for 1Gp.
