Santa hat



Santa hats were the last tradable holiday drop. They were dropped only on December 25, 2002. All players can wear them on their head. They give no stat bonuses on the main game, although they give +3 magic on RuneScape Classic. It is one of the most popular rare items due to its colour and appeal. It is the only tradable Holiday drop that has more than 5 coins for a low alchemy spell.

Red Fezs are often mistaken for Santa hats, although changes to the trading system made scamming other players because of this similarity impossible.

Prior to the real world trading updates in late 2007 and early 2008, Santa hats were valued at about 20-24 million coins. After the updates, they plummeted down to about 11.2 million coins at one point, although they have since recovered somewhat. Over the last week or so prices of this item have dramatically rose by over 3.5-4m., and seems to keep rising as people desperately want to get one.
