Since the hats were only available in limited numbers for a brief period and then were subsequently removed players lucky enough to own one is able to sell them for billions of game coins Cheap OSRS Gold. Although the hats are only decorative and do not offer statistics, they're the most expensive item on the Grand Exchange, hitting the maximum price of 2.1billion gold in 2015.

To get their hands on the heads of the Golden Party Hat, players must complete "various objectives" and collect eight golden shards for their efforts. Once the eight shards are obtained, they can be made into a Golden Party Hat.

However this isn't the only event limited in time, but only one golden hat is designed for each player. Like their 2001 predecessors, Jagex says of the golden hats that "after the cut-off date the golden hats will not ever again be available for purchase!"

If the item is able to disrupt the in-game economy and lowers the value of existing partyhats or transforms into a brand new additional premium item remains to be seen. Jagex will be celebrating the occasion all the same with a change to the game's Grand Exchange location into "a Golden Party Hat winter wonderland".

The golden hat marks the final feature (sorry) to RuneScape's year-long 20th anniversary celebrations. Launching alongside the returning partyhat event is the fourth, and final RuneScape 2007 Gold, part of the anniversary quest, Once Upon a Time, available throughout the time.
