Talk:Christmas cracker

I've only seen one floating around RS2. Some guy sold it for 750M. Lucky 01:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Why so much for an item that simply contains a party hat along with some other junk?--Pkthis 01:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Because it is so rare. People don't buy them to get a party hat, they buy them to say "look, I have an item that is really rare". Tesfan 01:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Diminishing importance of rare items?
It is stated here in the article that the cracker and all other rare items (e.g. party hats) are losing their value because ppl no longer want to buy them. I wonder; for what reason ppl gave up trading these items for money (and vice versa)? --Fatman4ever 16:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That never happened. I'm not sure who added in into the article but it was speculation. 16:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

How was it racist? (sorry if i spelled it wrong)
At the last sentence of the article is says "xmas crackers have been of subject of racism of the forums" how? i would really like to know... (and no im not a racist if thats what your thinkin)
 * 'Tis a deragatory (sp?) slang term for white people. Don't really know how to put it any other way...
 * In G.E. when you buy a party hat or examine a party hat it says "A nice hat from a cracker"... most racism on the forums is just spam. --Wizard hat g.png Wizard robe g.png [[File:Blue skirt (g).png]]  Galanothwolf   15:01, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Happy
It would be nice when you have 750M, buy a christmas cracker and accidently alch it, then you would lose 749,999,999 coins XD

The prices will then rise again, maybe passing the 800M or even 1B (1000M)

That would be stupid and fun

destroy... ...drop?
Can you destroy Christmas Crackers by dropping them, or will they exist after being dropped?-Omega32 21:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If you drop them, you can still pick them up. --NakaXeta 01:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Although like any other item with this new trade limit bs, since it is worth over 3k it will not show up for anyone other than the dropper  MonsterMan  RS Name  theskk 2  02:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks-Omega32

The Number
I heard from several people that there are 29 crackers left. Is this true? Lord Rapter 19:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * How could we know? -- 19:39, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There really isn't a way to count how many Christmas crackers are left, only how many people claim to have them.  19:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, back when I started, they were only 45,00 GP, but now millions. I had maybe 100 of them, and sold all but 10, and popped the rest, I got 8 random thing, 3 rune items, bronze thing, and about 5 other things that were worth nothing. But I did get a blue and green partyhat, which I still have. But as to how many left, I don't know, Nobody has bought one for nearly 60 days on the ge. I would say there are few left. I wish I kep one. And partyhats are diminishing too, which is not exactly great for RS.

A little confused about the wording here...
I quote: "when a player uses the cracker on another player, the player who pulled it gets the reward." the part im stuck on is, is the player who pulled the origional owner and what counts as the reward? the partyhat or the rune item? sorry to bother :/ Super adm 16:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * One player will get a Party hat and the other player will get a piece of loot, such as a rune platebody. 16:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, whoever gets the P-Hat is random. I've tested this (as I was around when they were dropped). Daedryon 16:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

sorry neither solve my problem, im asking what is the quote refering to as the "reward", and who is it refering to as "who pulled it" sorry to bother...again :S Super adm 17:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC) The original owner is the puller,but I think that quote is quite wrong as the "real award"(phat)is quite randomly given.

Randomly?
Could one person get more than one christmas cracker on the day it was dropped?

Yes. You could obtain several and some players even made phats in sets of 10, 20, 30, etc. and later droped them because they took up bank space.

please answer this question...
will they be dropped every year. i hope so whos with me... fadalisdestroyer 12:10, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * They will not be dropped again, I think. But someone with more experience might know better than I. 12:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * They won't be dropped again, and I hope they won't be. Because, if they are dropped again, the Christmas Cracker will become almost worthless because there are so many of them. That and the party hats. 13:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

After 25 December
Did all the remaining christmas crackers on the ground disappear after 25 December, or did they remain until they were all picked up? 14:12, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

No longer able to use on other players?
I've heard that Jagex has removed the ability to use the crackers on other people, seeing it as a way to transfer gold. Validity? 25 August 2009
 * I highly doubt anyone can use a Christmas cracker to transfer gold, the amount left is so low and it's nearly impossible to get one unless you were a long-time veteran and i don't think anyone would break the rules after playing it for a couple of years.

Wizard Crackers
The section saying the Christmas cracker bears a striking resemblance to Wizard crackers is somewhat incorrect. Christmas Crackers are a traditional British thingy, which contain a small novelty gift, usually a very bad joke, and dun dun dun! a party hat. A flimsy paper one, no less! So while they are similar to Wizard Crackers, it's not in a remarkable or striking way, as much as they are based on the same thing, namely, christmas crackers, J K Rowling did not invent the concept and have it sneakily yoinked by Jagex.


 * They have christmas crackers in the united states too. they just arent popular but i have seen them in stores

and they have tissue paper party hats in them and little toys lmao  Sir erik54  Talk  03:24, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
