Free trade or not, RWT will always exist. But it is my honest opinion that there will be less RWT with free trade. The two main ways sellers farm GP is either by running botting mills or leading a GE price manipulation clan. Free trade will at least mean the dissolution of manipulation clans, and hopefully less RWT. The way I envision the new GE is that the min and max values are eliminated. The servers still calculate the med price based on volume of trade every 8-32 hours but this will merely be the "suggested" price, not a fixed price to follow by. I also suspect volume limits to vanish. As for things like scamming/luring coming back, I can't say it bothers me that much. I liked the laissez-faire approach of Eve Online and wish to see it extend to RS. I honestly don't care for the amount of hand-holding that exists in this game.

BCP isn't absolute necessity, especially since you have torso. Bunyip means no need for food/guthans 95% of the time. Karils isn't really needed either. The most sensible thing to do for slayer is to downgrade Bandos to torso+v skirt, get extremes, then work your way to turmoil.

I recommend buying unpowered orbs and bstaffs from Naff/GE daily then charging the orbs. Making fire/air bstaffs should break even.

Oh, so 240 specs with VLS without spec restores. But if what you're saying for the second is correct, I could just resell my VLS everytime it's close to degrading, buy a new one and get a full hour? Seems too abusable to me.

1. Do they degrade on a per tick basis or in increments of 1 minute? If I use a VLS only to spec with, what is the max number of specs I can theoretically get before it degrades? 2. How does reselling used PVP gear on the GE work? Let's say I alch my Morrigan's Coif after using it for 55 minutes. If I buy a new one, can I use it for the whole hour or only 5 more minutes?

Slightly off topic, but how does level 1-200 in MS compare to 3-138 Cb in RS? When I played MS a few years ago, I quit at around level 30 because the hack and slash gameplay wore off on me. Sweeping changes for one game like MS might have been appropriate but not so for another game like RS. Imho, RS doesn't need changes to leveling rate. Jagex just needs to give players incentives to level.

It's not like that! Say, there's nobody selling a specific item atm. Mr A puts in an offer of 100 of those items at max. Then Mr B does it only for 1 item. And finally Mr C wants 10 of those after that. Then comes Mr Z who wants to sell 10 pieces of that item. Mr A gets all of those as he was first. Mr Z says "Oh, this was great. Let us do it again!" He puts in 10 again. Mr B gets 1 of it and the other 9 gets Mr C. Why is that? It's simple. When your offer gets updated you will be put at the end of the queue. The next item sold will get Mr A. Hmm...I like your explanation. It makes sense in the context of my test. I wasn't paying attention to the "One or more of your offers have been updated" messages though, although it should be simple enough to test.

It's not quite as simple as sell offers matching with corresponding buying offers. If you put in an offer for a bought out item for med, your offer would fulfill at max. It wouldn't go to the corresponding buy offer at med. The newer offer gets the better end of the deal. Either that or I am misinterpreting what you're saying. And my alt offer definitely finished after my main's offer. Don't Dstones have a limit of 100? I think if you wanted to test out if multiple offers buy faster than single offers, you would have 1 offer for 50 dstones and 2 offers for 25, all at the same price.

Pardon me if this sounds like another crackpot theory, but I as well as many others always assumed that there existed a queue system for offers on the GE at a given price point. Say an item was being bought out at max. The assumption was that the first person to put an offer in for max would get any items that trickled in first until he reached his buy limit, then the second person would get his offer filled, and so on. Same deal for sell offers. Well, I may have recently found evidence that contradicts the above and seems to suggest that the GE fulfills offers randomly. To test this I hopped on my main and another account to buy 500 grimy avantoes at the same price: 10 gp above med. Here's what happened: I first put in the offer on my main. The avantoe trickled in slowly, so I had the best bid. I then put the same offer on my alt Surprisingly, the offer on my alt started filling before I had completed my offer on my main, as I checked my main immediately afterwards to see it was still incomplete. So what this leads me to believe is that the GE finds all the players with the same best bid, then for every new sell offer a random number is generated. Then the bidder with said corresponding number gets every item in that offer. Same goes for an item dump - Random number for every person selling at the best ask. Doesn't this mean that sniping is essentially an exercise in futility? If there's no priority or queue, then your odds of sniping, say a phat, are the same as someone who made an offer months ago.

Ammies are better than bracelets if you value your time at 500k/hr. They're quite slow Crafting training but are afkable. I made quite a few to train crafting personally.

Cue pic because that's what Asians do. (For the uninitiated - Cue=Japanese Photobooth Studio)

The guy got cocky and didn't veng up...woops. :rolleyes: I've had a few close encounter with the old randoms that could kill you. Almost lost my santa to Mr. Hyde when I dced.

So can anyone verify div/ely soak applies before armor soak? If so, new soak threshold for Div owners is 285 and 267 for Ely.

Specs/arcs can be bought with 3-5m junk, ely like 100-200m junk, and div buyable slightly above GE price by the looks of it.

Reminds me of the time I blew off the chance to buy a white phat years ago, worst mistake ever :wall: Anyway, found some past offers some people might be interested in :^_^:

Replace PVP statue drops with the equivalent in raw/processed materials, perhaps? It will be a massive deflationary force, and the only ones hurt are the rapidly shrinking sector of people who skill for cash. OR we could keep the statues, but the losing players gear gets sent to the GE for med, sort of how CS'ed loot works. The money of the person who buys said gear simply vanishes.
