Party hats - Yellow surpasses green?
death666blooms, I think he is referring to the fact that a partyhat cannot rise unless it is supplied. There can be enough demand for an item to make the price rise, yet if a transaction does not occur, the GE is not given the opportunity to raise the price of the item. This is why items that are "unbuyable" rarely rise- because people rarely sell them, not because there is a decrease in demand. And actually, yes, it does. Please take economics before you lecture us about supply and demand. In the short run, demand for the item does not change, although quantity demanded does.

Oops! Double post. See below.

Party hats - Yellow surpasses green?
The GE has messed with partyhat prices so much... they can't rise or fall normally, and the 1% isn't enough breathing room for the items. I'm really hoping they expand it back to 5% or the hats will always remain either very difficult to buy or very difficult to sell.

What Defines a "Boss Monster"?
Wow, great read. As to your point about a single spawn point defining a boss monster, I completely agree. I will even go as far as to say that, partly due to this, I find that the tormented demon is not a boss monster. If mithril dragons are not considered boss monsters, which they aren't in your judgment, tormented demons can't be considered boss monsters. Both have multiple spawns, very high risk, are relatively easy to solo, and have unique drops.

14th May 2009 - Development Diary: Fairy Area Improvement
As more of a "gameplay > graphics" kind of person, I'm ready for some new content updates, yet I still love what they're doing with the graphics. It's these little changes that can add together to really improve the overall gaming experience.

Cactus Spines Growth
I have looked all over and can't find any information about this. The next two times I farm my cactus, I'll time it. Until then, good luck.

Is BGS being manipulated?
Eh, not completely true. There is an activity on Wall Street called "short selling": basically, you "borrow" shares of a dropping stock from a broker or another source, and you sell the stock, and buy it back after it has fallen. You return the stock and pocket the difference. I'm sure the same thing could be [riskily] done with the Grand Exchange: a whole bunch of BGS owners could sell minimum, and once all of their swords are sold and the price is lower, they can buy back, and they'll have cash and their old sword. True; it could be done; but probably never will be. Short selling in runescape is impossible simply because there is no such thing as borrowing or credit, and what you suggest is not short-selling. Merchants only make item prices drop AFTER they make them rise (you would see a [bleep]e in the price before the drop).

What is the best way to make cash with all skills maxed?
Camping abyssal demons doesn't train slayer, now does it? Oh gosh, a circular argument. The answer is RUNECRAFT, please. The OP's question was answered, for goodness sake.

How to set-up mouse keys?
In addition to the above guide (which is awesome), if you are having problems with dropping, refer to the following post: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=793461&p=6635425#p6635425

Mith and Coal
I'm not really looking forward to what they might do to stop it though. I could see them reducing how many items can be bought every 4 hours.... It would be even worse on the skillers than the merchants because then we wouldn't be able to train as quickly. :x I would be just fine with being able to buy or sell each combat item one time every 24 hours. This would effectively terminate the armor/weapon merchanting market. The skilling market would be much harder to hammer down... possibly a longer than 4 hour ban on reselling items?

Camping abyssal demons is slower moner than runecrafting double nats by a pretty wide margin. Heck, it's slower money than some monsters you can kill without any slayer at all. I've been told that green dragons and aviansies are faster cash than any slayer monster. Actually I make more money at demons than at aviansies or green dragons. 1 whip about every 3 hours. You do the math cuz im 2 lazee 1.4m/3 = 467k per hour. That's half of what you make doing nats. The answer is simple: Slayer is not better money, statistically, than runecrafting. You may get a whip drop in 5 minutes, but this will statistically even out into a much lower profit per hour.

Yep, that's it. 91 runecraft requirement btw.

99 Ranged 50 Combat
It would probably take like 3 lines of java to do the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those standing do-nothing accounts had a little code behind them, not a person.

Chart comparing old and new RuneScape rules
It's interesting to see the addition about illegal drugs. There go all of our marijuana talks, which were more of debates on the legality. I guess debating a modern controversial issue is against the rules now :?

Yes, but it is horribly expensive and pretty much a waste.

Anyone Ever see a Famous RS player? Post your pics!
[hide=Lucipher6] [/hide] Yeah, with lucipher moving up to 3rd, ranks 1, 2, and 3 are all in the same clan. Crazy.

Runescape and it's place in History
Runescape would be comparable to an allegory, so details such as direction and magic shouldn't interfere with the deeper meaning.

Runescape and it's place in History
I love the comparison of gnomes and dwarves to England. I see the gnomes and dwarves as some of the oldest traditional powers who are now reduced in power, due partially to their separation from the rest of the peoples (gnomes in their trees, dwarves under their mountains). This is very similar to the traditional power of England that has declined over the last few hundred years and is separated as an island from the rest of Europe. Great job on this. I really like it.

Jagex gives banned accounts a 2nd chance.
I actually had an account unbanned through this... I was banned for the name, and unbanned just a few hours after posting in the thread. By the way, this has been around for months.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
It's funny how half the time people are like "OMG partyhat, you're rich," and the other half they're going "lol dropping p hat prices, failed noob." Now us partyhat holders get to shove it in the faces of all the people who made fun of us for owning a dropping item.

Could this possibly be a brilliant idea?
I'm sure you can't fully depend on the sgs in cases of getting hit somewhat hard, and I seriously doubt he fully restored his prayer. But yes, that is a great option if you can afford it.

Need info on rates of 99s [heavy question warning]
You mention zamorak brews for herblore. Those are not typically good... maybe the prices are good because they are being merchanted or something right now. More dependable potions are super defence, super attack, and serum 207s.

How to nat run?
He asked how to nat run. Why post if you aren't going to answer the question? You can use the abyss. This requires a short miniquest and you can do it with any levels. Look here for more info. If you get 7 more summoning levels you can use a graahk, but your best bet at the moment would be with the abyss. Why bother running if you need assistance. He's only 42 RC. Killing things would be faster. And i did answer. I read it as if he asked if there was a better way to make 900k. Didn't say better way to nat run. Should have clarified what he wanted help doing. And i said if he did want to nat run, would be best to get 44 rc so you can run on your own. IF you have 44 you don't have to depend on others to assist you, so you can make them whenever you want. By running, I was assuming he is running for double nats, which can easily make over 500k an hour. That's far better than green dragons. If he is only running for normal crafting, then no, he should definitely get 44 rc like you say. I guess we can wait for the OP.
