For a brief moment in RuneScape history, this cake was worth more to the average player than gold itself. Nobody wanted gold, they wanted cake. Players gambled away fortunes with them, sold them for real cash, and used them to get around one of the most restrictive updates in RuneScape history. Until Jagex caught on, and shut it all down. So how did this once worthless dessert become the most wanted item in the game? And who was the mastermind behind its rise? Well, it might all trace back to one player and an inside joke he had with his girlfriend. This is the story of how mint cakes broke RuneScape.

I miss my Blue H'ween.
I use to skip tasks to just get Ninto and Daerkin (Only two that would reward scarfs). I would farm this day in, day out. Averaging 2-3 scarfs an hour.
This helped me afford my first white P hat which at the time was 330m.
Moral of the stories is never underestimate the weirdness/creativity of RuneScape players and never underestimate the laziness/programming skills of the mods
