ah that may of happened, thanks :)

The 4h rule is the culprit here, but as sort of a related side topic: It's only happened a handful of times, but after immediately (5 minutes to an hour) buying or selling something I was able to buy/sell something again. Any ideas why?

This. Your best ROI with 80m will be with flipping of volatile-throughout-the-day items with higher volume.

For my play-style, the only utility where it is a must is TDs. If you slay, just use EE/whip for the most part. The restored prayer (bout 1 ppot a task, depends) isn't worth 70m. But out of all the godswords, it is my favorite. AGS sucks for the most part.

Staking is semi-back? With friends anyways? EDIT: nevermind, thought about it a bit, most friends have low QP anyways. Better off than it was though.

Why?

And most people who want to be attacker suck.

theyre all useless, but i choose ecteria cause of when I do MTK its easy to replant yer spirit tree there.

Tbh, I read until I was so disgusted with the amount of holiday updates, and came to this thread to complain. I was so upset I didn't even read the disclaimer lol

i did red sals to about 70, then blacks; i like like blacks cause it seems to be less focusing, and i don't trade in that much xp.

Elysian and Divine took a major hit in street price lately. They are not selling for partyhats and are barley getting away with being traded for edibles. I have yet to sell an Ely or Divine sell for straight cash with junk added so don't get your hopes up there. What you can try to do is get a disk or two eggs (approx what an ely is worth) for cash (junk added to the edibles ofc) and trade for an elysian that way. Expect to pay roughly 550-600M for the elysian or try to get lucky in the GE. About time div/ely dropped. Rares are one thing to be unbuyable in ge (thus forcing you to use street merching to work your way up to them), but it does urk me that to obtain these amazing shields, one either has to street merch their way up or actually corp. imo ely/div should be updating in ge more.

What I love about curses is they've added something to rs that it lacked compared to other games- what gear to use, prayers, etc. has been so predictable. But curses really is a case by case sorta thing. For myself (as well as most of you) we have tons of questions that aren't easily going to be answered.

Grats. It's time to level hunter.

I believe the fastest way to get blues is to cannon walasalkis.

Well, there is ONE npc that is weak to fire spells: mummy. I found it out one day just playing around. They're very susceptible to it, and start on fire. Kinda cool. It's too late to incorporate it into player items, unless they can figure out a way to balance it, which i doubt. But they definitely need more NPCs with elemental weaknesses. I greatly enjoyed exploring crush/slash/stab before it was widely known whihc npcs were weak to what, which was pretty recently in general, and there are still some which aren't widely known. Although, obviously slash wins 49/50 times.

I've always thought this; it was fine in rsc when mage and range were support stats, but when they created the "triangle" it just made no sense melee had an extra stat, and in some senses, 2 (as defense will always be integral part of melee, mages and rangers have an ability to farcast) I thought it again when extreme magic got nerfed. It just makes no sense for a 86/83 mage to hit higher than a 86 base mage, let alone base 99. Mages also get the shaft with its prayer boosters which are pretty much useless besides some pvp. At least ranged skill incorporates both accuracy and damage.

Again, it's too early to tell generally, but it's pretty safe to say a lot of major gear is falling cause it's just getting too lucrative to monster hunt. Inflation won't stop; instead, it'll get pushed into rares, as it is now.

I'd say that's definitely a possibility, and pretty ingenious too if so :P But it might be harder to get rid of the arrows in bulk (trading them by selling off a rare) to a half-smart mercher, but I'm sure there's some sucker out there. Actually they're some of the best junk there is because it's not crashing due to its floor and, as you, said it rises sometimes. So it's quite easy to either lend it out or sell it with a rising item because of how good it is. Oh definitely :P I was just referring to the current state of them. Side note: Bandos plate, tassets, and DFS seem to be tapering off now, although it is too early to have any certainty with that statement; armadyl armor is definitely tapering off now. Furies are a few hundo K off of mid; I'd expect them to jump up again shortly. At 9 mil, farming for furies is only 300k an hour for the best players, not counting drops.

Oh thanks I wasn't aware they dropped them. Tipit didnt list them as dropped items, but it's probably wrong. <_<

Na it's ridiculously stupid, but its really hard to get mints from that minigame. Rares post-GE are silly, but sometimes once the ball rolls, its hard to stop it. Mints are totally useless but since they are in high demend u can swamp em for a rising item to actually make money, stake with them (as theyre so cheap), use them as leverage for other bought out items, etc.

Not related to rares, but an interesting tidbit on tokkul: Obby capes, shields, and mauls are all dropped by thzaar. Now that farming thzaar is the fastest way to get tokkul for the coveted fury, more of those may enter the game through this method. The lower-end obby items, such as the knife, mace, sword, and staff are not dropped by the thzaar. Most of these are at their 1:1 tokkul to gp price (i.e. knife is 35k tokkul, 35kish gp in ge). The sword is 120kish and rising though, most likely due to its whip-like utility. Pre-tokkul updates, these were all 100k+ gp. They lowered so much, because you essentially spend 35k in fire runes, and buy a dagger for that amount, and resell it in ge for more. Hence why they all fell to their tokkul price. Fury never did because it actually took hours to sell 2.7m worth of fire runes to the ge,and the onyx price compensated for that time. Now, fury is 1:3+ tokkul to gp and rising, and will continue to rise. At max combat, best gear, turmoil, and extremes, I can manage 90k tokkul an hour, MAX. This means even for the best player, it takes at least 30 hours to obtain a fury. At current prices, this is roughly 300k an hour, so I contend fury will rise even more, because a maxed player can make much more than that an hour, without focusing on one activity for 30 hours. This also means the dagger that is 35k tokkul equates to roughly 100k an hour for a maxed player with the best abilities. In essence, do you think this creates a merching oppurtunity for these lower end items? DIscuss.

I've personally always hated bandos, and preferred solo arma. Personal preference really.

Yeah i don't think so either. I mean, what about the boss's strength? And wasn't aware they had agility levels lol Not doubting that they may/may not, and I didn't check. Just doesn't seem like they would at first glance.

Side note, besides z spear and dragon claws (as discussed a few days ago), armadyl armor seems to be the first major gear falling. Ags/Sgs have been stable for a while, but not truly sloping as of yet so it's hard to say. Bandos gear may be next, and I'd say DFS will most likely be the last to fall. I think it's ironic because I find armadyl armor more appealing that bandos, at least for MHing. I'd rather wear torags than bandos for melee purposes for boss fights. Although there are many more variables why bando/arma prices are how they are, these variables don't apply to my personal gameplay. We are near the peak prices in my opinion. Edit: Oh, if anyone was wondering, furies are on the max rise again, for the moment.
