As a result of fluctuating marketplace of this Grand Exchange, many RuneScape players use different strategies to OSRS gold find out whether a product increases or decrease in price and thus earn a profit by buying and reselling at the right moment.

Having explained that, within RuneScape a curious thing is that as a result of cost fluctuation has become among the items inside a videogame. This product is the Blue Partyhat. In 2001, Jagex maintained a Christmas event for RuneScape, where RuneScape players had to pick up Christmas Crackers that dropped to the floor. When participating in this event with another RuneScape player, one of these would be given a Partyhat. The hats were used for cosmetic purposes, so that they were not very useful for the game.

The Blue Partyhat has a significance within the Buy Runescape gold plot, especially. This story is located in Draynor bank surveillance tapes, in which it could be observed that the Wise Old Man murdered Elfinlocks and uttered the Blue Partyhat out of his ashes while robbing the bank. Ahead of the Love Story quest, the Wise Old Man wears the Blue Partyhat on his mind, and after the pursuit, he lends it to Zenevivia, who now lives with him at his house at Draynor.

During 2002, Partyhats were plentiful and there were thousands in circulation, so their price was quite low. However this item was stopped entirely, while the number of RuneScape players only continued to grow, so the Blue Partyhat became rather rare and therefore its price started to rise disproportionately.
