Runescape Items are physical objects which are carried in a player's inventory, Players can distinguish their items by name and graphics. There are tradable items and non-tradable. Some items are also droppable and those of which are tradable can be seen by other players 60 seconds after being dropped and last 150 seconds before vanishing. Those which are not tradable simply vanish after 120 seconds.
Within this guide we will be exploring the importance of RS3 items and some of their uses, taking a quick look into what we can use the items for, or how to utilize them while doing so.
Due to there being an abundance of items within the game, there are almost just as many uses for them. Some items are required to complete quests, while some with more importance can not be obtained until the quests are completed; defeating monsters and progressing through the game can be hindered if a player does not possess certain items, for this reason, many players choose to buy RS3 items.
Most Valuable Items
Since there are thousands of items within the game, some of which are sought after heavily for the wealth they hold, let's check those out now and find out whether or not you’re sitting on your very own gold mine. Check out this list of rs3 most expensive items, which are also the ten most valuable trade items this week:
Hazelmere Signet Ring - Maximum Trade Price 2.1b
Eldritch Crossbow - Maximum Trade Price 2.1b
Black Santa Hat - Maximum Trade Price 2.1b

Santa Hat - Maximum Trade Price 2.1b

The above list excludes Party hats due to their astronomical price point reaching prices that exceed the max cash in-game. The hats were first obtained during a 2001 Christmas event in which players opened Christmas Crackers dropped during the event. They come in six colors, blue, white, green, purple, red, and yellow, appearing as a crown-like hat once worn by a player.
Since the discontinuation of the hats, they have only risen in value because of their rarity. They are much sought after and currently the most valuable items in-game because despite them not offering any stat bonuses they do hold a lot of value. With the gold coin limit being 2.147b the hats only continue to rise in value as time passes due to them being able to hold large sums of cash, allowing them to become one of rs3 most expensive items.
