RuneScape is adding a New Party Hat for the First Time in 20 Years

For the 2021 Christmas event, Jagex will be adding a new Golden Party Hat to the game, limited to 1 per account. In order to obtain it, players will need to complete tasks to obtain golden shards, which can then be used to create the golden party hat. There will be 11 ways of obtaining shards, but players will only need 8 to craft their own Golden Party Hat.

This will be a limited time opportunity. The Golden Party Hat Hunt commences on November 22nd and will come to an end on January 3rd.

COLLECTING SHARDS

To secure your Golden party Hat you'll need to both be a RuneScape member and obtain 8 of a possible 11 shards spread across the game. Here's where you can find them throughout the Anniversary event:

(1/11) Talk to the Wise Old Man who is waiting for you outside the Grand Exchange in Varrock. Easy peasy!

(2/11) Complete the 'Once Upon a Time in Gielinor' Anniversary quest.

(3/11) Every time you earn a Mark of War, there is a chance to earn a shard.

(4/11) Shards are also a possible drop from completing Clue Scrolls.

(5/11) One shard can be had when training Combat skills (Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Prayer, Magic, Constitution, Summoning).

(6/11) One shard can be had when training Gathering skills (Mining, Fishing, Woodcutting, Farming, Hunter, Divination, Archaeology).

(7/11) One shard can be had when training Artisan skills (Herblore, Crafting, Fletching, Smithing, Cooking, Firemaking, Runecrafting, Construction).

(8/11) One shard can be had when training Support skills (Agility, Thieving, Slayer, Dungeoneering).

(9/11) Another shard can be obtained at Level 15 of the free track in the Christmas Yak Track event.

(10/11) One shard can be purchased with 30 million in-game gold.

(11/11) One shard is given with Premier Club 2022 membership purchase.

Once you've got eight shards in your inventory, simply go back to the Wise Old Man at the Grand Exchange where he will magically transform them into the coveted Golden Party Hat!

If you're into that game, you wouldn't want to miss this opportunity for sure. I know I won't ;)

Happy gaming!
