The dropping of rare items on holidays such as Halloween or Christmas is a well-known tradition throughout the RuneScape land. These items would be found in random places at certain times during the special day, and anyone who found one would have a great surprise! Since these items were only dropped on that day, they are considered rare and have become quite valuable (expensive too!).

Here are Some Frequently asked questions about Runescape Holiday Events and Rares Items May help you^-^

Q: Will there still be holiday item drops?
A: There aren’t item ‘drops’ exactly. Instead, NPCs are apparently going to visit RuneScape during the holidays and hand out a special item. These characters stay in RuneScape for a week or two and will freely hand out holiday items to any player that wants one.

Q: Why did Jagex stop doing those original drops on holidays?
A: Holiday drops were stopped after the “Halloween 2003 Debacle.” A great deal of people complained about not getting a Halloween Scythe, and Jagex decided not to have another item drop after that.

Q: How do I get a Holiday Item?
A: In order to get a Holiday item, you need to trade from another player. All tradeable holiday items are quite expensive. Scythes and Bunny Ears are not tradeable, and only people who managed to find one on that specific Holiday have one.

Q: What were holiday drops like?
A: In past holidays, special holiday items would be dropped all over RuneScape in random places and different times during the day. Usually there would be several drops, and people would be running around trying to pick one up.
When is Easter, Halloween and Christmas?
Easter varies, but is in March/April, always on a sunday. Easter 2009 will be on the 12th of April.
Haloween is the 31th of October.
Christmas is on the 25th of December.
What’s the point with untradeable items?
They’re here for fun! It may also be nice to wear something that not everyone can get. Also, it shows other players how long you have been playing, and some of the discontinued items are considered very valuable even if you cannot actually trade them.
Are black and dragon items rare?
No! Even if players can’t make them, you can obtain them by killing monsters. Many of the black and dragon items can even be bought in stores around RuneScape! For details about how to obtain certain items, use the item database.
Are there any other rare items?
No. Items that are not in this guide are not rare: Treasure trails items (trimmed armour), Mime items, Spinach rolls, Palm leaves etc are not rare. You can get all of these items on your own (but some can only be found on member servers).
Can I dye party hats or halloween masks?
No.
