Since the start of Runescape more and more items have been added to the game. Currently there are thousands and thousands of Runescape items. Like any game, some items are more valuable than others and because of this a whole market for Runescape items has been created. The trading and collecting of Runescape items has become one of the more fun things to do in Runescape.

When you go out and play the game you’ll soon realize that certain items are trading for millions of Runescape gold. Why is this? This is because of rare Runescape items, there is only a limited number of them. The most rare items are the Holidays Drops, these are items that Jagex (the company behind Runescape) has leaves in the game every major holiday. For Christmas, Easter and Halloween items like masks and hats are spread out for free across Runescape worlds in different locations and people could only collect them on that specific day. Because of this these items have become more and more rare over the years. Runescape rare items often cost millions and millions of Runescape gold.

Though at one time in the game, still in the first version of Runescape, the market for rare items crashed. All off a sudden there were loads of rare items like Runescape pink party hats available. What happened? Someone had created a program based on a mistake in Runescape to duplicate items. The Runescape Item Duplicator was born and led to the market being flooded with rare items. The prices soon dropped of these items and Jagex noticed what was going on. They found the glitch in their system and they fixed it. Since Runescape 2 there have been no instances of Runescape Item Duplicators.

If you don’t have millions of Runescape gold but are dying to get a hold of one of these rare items there is a way. There are stores online which sell them for real money, Runescape Gold Stores. However it is really important to know this kind of trading is against the rules of Runescape and Jagex forbids it. So if you do decide to do this be sure to know this and also that there are many players who save up months for these items. Often by the time they have saved enough gold the prices have gone up though. The Runescape rare items market is a good one to be in if you have enough gold because prices just seem to continue to rise.

What not to do! Don’t be a Runescape item beggar! Throughout Runescape there are a lot of players who go around and beg for free Runescape items. It’s not only annoying to the other players but it also takes the fun out of the game. So if you have a rare Runescape item like a santa hat that you can wear do know that when you wear it, it draws a lot of attention to you. This attention means that more and more Runescape players will come and beg to you for free items.
