Red hallowe'en mask



Red halloween masks were dropped on 31 October 2002. This is the most expensive type of halloween mask. They provide no defence bonuses, and may only be obtained by trading with other players or the Grand Exchange.

Red halloween masks are characterized as the most "stable" of the 3 masks in terms of price fluctuation as blue and green masks are often stocked up by wealthier players and dumped near holidays to reset the price. This trend has been broken recently during the halloween of 2009 when the items did not reset to a lower value, while only crashing an average of 3-5mil gp. This is due to the increasing population of wealthy runescape players ( due to the new Player Killing system ) that allows players to earn a great amount of wealth in a shorter time span. Due to this new update, many players to 76k tricks or 26k tricks and get corrupt items and so the demand for holiday items has gone up because more players can afford it. Yet the supply of these rares are discontinued, meaning no longer in stock and so the prices do not fluctuate anymore and are relatively stable but possess an appealing trend of increase.

Red Halloween mask (since the crash in price on Halloween of 2009) has seen a trend of an average of 300k increase in value a day.

Many players, before they quit, buy red masks because they are the most expensive rares in the gap between masks and party hats. And because of this, many red masks deplete in quantity and the supply is lessened which makes this the most expensive of the mask sets. When the Dragon Med Helm was released, their price was up in the millions. In those days, Red h'ween masks were only about 100K, and so were used as a substitute for Dragon med helms.
