2001 Christmas event



The 2001 Christmas event was the second RuneScape holiday event. After the 2001 Halloween event, Jagex decided to do another holiday drop for Christmas, this time with Christmas crackers. Players picking them up would use them on others, and both players would receive a reward. One would get a partyhat of random colour, while the other would get a completely random item, like a gold ore or silver bar. At that time, partyhats were only worth a few coins, and because of this many partyhats were then given away, dropped or sold to the general store. Today, prices for partyhats range from one billion coins to over two billion coins. The cheapest of these is the purple partyhat.
