Trivia
The Halo is the first of the Monthly Collectibles. The administrators needed help to keep the site afloat, and those who donated did so in support of the site rather than to receive an item, as is generally the case now. They received the first Thank You Letter.
Despite having the simplest design of any of the donation items, it is considered priceless, or at least costs hundreds of millions of gold. There are many "knock-off halos", such as the Golden Laurels, Phoenix Circlet, Dark Halo, Celestial Wrap,Angelic Lace and the Mythrill Halo to allow poorer Gaians to at least fill the spot a Halo would take in their outfit. Those who have the original, however, display a lot of power, simply by virtue of its rarity.
Now, however, many users who have a Halo choose not wear it. This is because the sight of a Halo often attracts the harassment of noobs asking for friends, donations, or the halo itself! This can make the Halo seem even rarer than it is.
- It is rumored that only about 36 Halos exist at all.
- To commemorate the Halo, Gaia modeled their 100th donation item after it. A halo was also added as one of the forms to the Radiant Prism item.
- On June 15,2009 the Wind Halo was made to celebrate the Halo's birthday. Also when you purchased at least 99 Gaia Cash on the Cash Shop, you would be instantly eligible to win the original Halo dug from a banned account.
