Afro



An Afro is a wig that a player can wear on the head. This item was released on the 28th of April 2009, along with a small Summoning update. Players can buy these wigs from Party Pete for 50 coins each. They give no bonuses whatsoever - they are simply a 'show' item. Some players believe that they will one day be as valuable as party hats, however, Party Pete has an unlimited stock of Afros and Jagex has stated they have no plans to ever discontinue them (see gallery image). The expectation of a dramatic price increase in value is likely why the Grand Exchange prices of Afros are 15-48 coins higher than Pete's.

Street Price
Some players profit by selling afros to unsuspecting players in Lumbridge, or any town which is a significant distance from Party Pete. Street prices can be several thousand coins more than Pete charges. It is often newer, more naive players which fall prey to this type of scam.

Trivia

 * If you try to enter a Soul Wars team while wearing an afro, it will say "There is no way you'll fool anyone on the enemy team with those disguises!" This also happens when trying to enter the Castle Wars waiting rooms while having one in your inventory.
 * If you take an afro into the Fist of Guthix lobby, you get a message saying: "The following item is not allowed in the arena: Braindeath's disguise item."
