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.

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 ashes 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 very rich players as a sign of extreme wealth. They rose considerably in price with the introduction of free trade again in February 2011. '''

According to the 2009 player submitted poll #15 Blue partyhats are the third most sought after partyhats.

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 ZeneviviaPhatspike.png
 * Along with the red partyhat, this item was the first item to pass the 1 billion mark on the Grand Exchange on 3 March 2011.
 * The blue partyhat is not the most expensive because of its rarity, but because of its status. Players will often buy the cheapest partyhat and upgrade until they have the blue partyhat. This puts the lower partyhats back into circulation when they upgrade however players often keep their blue for good, taking it out of circulation and hence decreasing the volume traded.
 * Even though their Grand Exchange value is only of about 2 billion coins, players can be seen selling them for over 4 billion coins. (they can be bought through items, as nobody can pay that much in cash)
