It's hard to find articles about this item, because of how rare it is. I found a little stub on wikipedia, but sofar this is the most thorough information I have found...

Most likely because zybez has a nack in early-runescape-days-obssesiveness.

Rarest Account For Sale:​

The rarest item in runescape, is not as known by common beleif, the christmas cracker. It is the war ship. War ships were discontinued in early Runescape Classic, you used to get them in the gnome stronghold when it was first created.

Why is it the rarest item in runescape?

Sure, it was only discontinued in 2002. Christmas crackers were discontinued in 2001. But as none of you played back then, you wouldn't know that, people collected hords of crackers and phats on the drop day. Jagex stated you would only be able to get them one day. On the other hand, warships were nontradeable, and were only out for a few days. The biggest factor in adding the the "rareness" of the account was the dupe in 2004 rsc. Kaitnetiks and Dylock found a glitch in the game using the trade system (both characters would receive the item traded), and thousands upon thousands of party hats were duped. I was there, it was madness...there were noobs running around everywhere saying "CRACK ME PLZ!!!" (use a christmas cracker on them). Party hats dropped from 20m average to a few hundred thousand a peice! Warships, could not be traded, therefore could not be duped. Oh and not to mention, it was the only item from rsc that didn't graphically change in the transfer to rs2; meaning it's the only item that looks the same now, as it did since Runescape Classic-Present.


Now, for the proof...

If you take a look at the bank, you will notice that it is full of mostly just junk from The gnome stronghold. I doubt anyone would have collected that "Junk", but this guy did; making it one of, or the, rarist runescape account(s) in existance.

Just on a final note, guys I have dealt with crazy things in my times on Runescape. I traded the 32nd account on runescape, and selling the 223rd, and 1600th (Click for list of first 2000 players to ever play runescape). I'm selling a level 27 with 99 defence. I've sold over 1.1billion gold peices to a real world trading site. This is definitly the craziest thing I have ever seen.

Oh and the war ship is useless, unfortunatly. Priceless, useless item. Because of the fact that it's non-weildable and non-tradeable, it will probobly be sold for around 100-150 USD, which is rather low for an account of that rareness.

Current Legit Bids:
- 9 USD
- 50 USD
- 30 USD
- 31 USD

Oh my god dude, I thought this was a myth!! If this aint a scam, BIG props to this guy. That's amazing. good luck selling you could easily get 250-300 bucks

omfg awesome

 

dude tbh never even heard of a war ship. gl selling

 

holly shit i remember these! lol. this is legit. gl selling

 

I was there to on that day i got cracked and i got enough money from that and i still have over 100m from that day.........it was great
and ill swap for the 27 with 99 defense

 

That is for sure something I have never heard of lol. Is it even tradable?

 

Damn, I would be crazy if you could play with it like a toy horsey, like you pretend your sailing the ship and yelling pirate noises!

GL selling it, I want one now :-(

 

The level 27 with 99 Defence is going to cost quite a bit, I have a thread though if you look in my thread history . Too lazy to link ya, soz. And yeah, warship is nontradeable, if you had given my thread a thorough read ;o.

bump

 

why doesnt the item show in grand exchange, correct me if im wrong but they didnt make non-tradeable items in them days

 

this is completely legit, you can even look on runehq, i was playing back in classic and i had a couple of accounts with these. there is no purpose, no way to show it off, and no way to prove you have it to other players, so it is extemely worthless, but it is true that it is ONE of the, not the, but ONE of the rarest items in the game, there are a bunch of non tradeble and tradeble items from classic still around, but this is definetly one of the rarest ones to date. good luck selling man, im interested to see what/how much you get.

 

can you wield it or something? Or is it only you
can see it

 

I have a War Ship on RuneScape Classic. They're nothing rare.

This Account was sold on Sythe?

 

OMFG This is wat i have on one of my accounts if i just remembered the password i started playing rs from 1999 when it came out on rsc now wow this si amazing i have to remind myself of the username fuccc

 

This account was never bought/sold EVER. It IS the rarest item and the only reason it's not going to go for thousands of dollars is because there is no way to show it off. Anyone on this thread saying the have or have had an account with a warship is, no doubt, lying. There were obviously untradeable items back in rsc, otherwise it would make quests like d-slayer easy (buy the keys from melzars maze). It is the only real extremely rare untradeable item in the game. People will talk about fake items such as "noteable cups of tea", or "bowls of limestone", but it is all myth. Everything I have told you in this thread is completely true and to the point, not over-exaggurated.

so...there is pretty much no point to this account whatsoever.

as you cannot prove you have this item (without taking pictures)

even so, it cannot make you look "cool" or "rich" "rare" whatever...

I thought it would be at least trade-able : /


I am however interested in the bunny ears.

what other items are there?

does it have a good name?

pm me please

 

I offer 9$

 

War Ships on RS2 Are probably the rarest item around..
