Bullshit.
It can't be true.

I'm making this post because I'm curious as to what everyone's opinion on what the future of the OSRS economy may come to, particularly regarding end-game level gear.
I've noticed a substantial drop in many items that, although I knew would fall, didn't expect to fall this quickly. Items such as black masks and whips seem to be approaching original 2007 prices rather quickly, and it leaves me wondering if they'll settle there, or continue to lose value after that. I tend to lean towards to the latter for a couple of reasons. First off, with the (current) fact that there will be little to no new content added in the future, I believe there is a possibility for items to fall to a lower value than they floated at for years back in 2007. I personally recall starting Runescape after slayer was already out, and when I was finally able to afford a whip after a year, they were still 3.5-4M, and I was still able to get that much out of each whip several years later when I reached 85 myself. I also remember black masks floating around 600k for quite a long time until slayer helms were introduced. I believe that despite the idea of a fresh start, the community is much more informed on how to play efficiently, and is well adapted on the importance of rushing slayer, camping clue scrolls, ect. for profit than they may have been 5-6 years ago.
With whips around the 5M mark already, and black masks creeping close to 600k mark soon, does anyone else have any predictions for what may happen? I know I've only listed whips and black masks as examples so far, but the discussion is really open to any top tier gear in the game. It seems to me barrows sets have risen to near what I remember them in 2007, and items such as ranger boots, robins, furies, and zerker rings, have settled near what I expect to be a steady price for a while. I haven't seen much activity in rarities such as dragon chains and dragonfire shields simply due to the lack of supply, but I expect them to follow the same path as robins, ect., and settle for what they were in 2007.
TL;DR: Do you believe original 2007 prices on high end items will eventually follow, or are prices likely to be drastically different due to the more informed community and lack of future content updates?

I can't remember if there's an efficient range level to start using it at, or if any level is alright. I'm only level 47 range and intend on primarily leveling range through cannoning slayer tasks. Wanted to make sure I wouldn't be "wasting" cannonballs with such a low range level.
Also, iirc, aren't your cannon's hits dependant on your attack bonus (even if it's a high melee attack bonus)?

Gold key plz

Going from 140-175 QP in a day sucks. Time to start slayer in my welfare gear though. Immediate goals are rune defender and 58 slayer for a black mask.

Buy from gnome stores/charter ships?
Charter ships @ Khazard docks, deposit box there for when you want to stash anything you buy off the trader crewmembers.
Didn't think of that. I've been world hopping at Catherby which I'm sure is a longer walk to the bank.
There's 15 pineapples in stock there (assuming it's the same for all charters?), making super compost easy to make if that's what you're after. Realized buying buckets of sand/soda ash/seaweed = 210 crafting xp ea down the road (if you bother with bstaves), which could be decent. Even if you don't bother making staves, the unpowered orbs alone are 72.5 xp ea including making the molten glass, which isn't too bad.
I've also been buying ectoplasm buckets from the charter to make prayer faster (I'm cheap and cba to find a gilded altar).
-
My dailies atm consist primarily of collecting soda ash, buckets of sand, pineapples for supercompost, and soon to be battlestaves. Are there any other resourceful dailies that can be done?
-
Yay, got dat sexy cape again. Only desert treasure and a few others quests to gain 175 QP before barrows gloves now.
-
Did quite a few quests I've been dreading today (Myreque storyline for example), and this. To my surprise, this quest took me under an hour, and I only failed 2 leaps in the maze. Definitely not as brutal as I remember it being years ago.

Voted no on the herbs, yes on everything else. Anyone with half a brain knows it's impossible to be scammed when buying unids. Also, lol @ these "hardcore players" who "voted no on everything", despite the fact that some of what they voted no on actually existed in 2007.

Gonna be busy for about a month or so. Wanted 20 glories but not willing to pay 90k ea atm, 10 allows me to craft ~1600 natures before recharging, or about once/hour, so it's not horrible. Hoping market price is at 315-320 ea when I'm finished. Will put me right at 75 rc as well for that giant pouch :wink:. Will probably stop and sell the first 15k to buy the 3k energy pots I need, then go for a 100k+ stack of nats from there.

61 combat
49 hp
51 att
51 str
45 def
48 range
56 magic
I wore a ring of recoil for every fight, plus two extras in my inventory. Food used was pineapple pizzas (they heal 22hp in two bites and are easy to make). Every time I fell below 38hp (11 below max), I'd dance with the boss and heal to full hp since a lot of the bosses can easily hit 20+ to KO you
The bosses would've been a lot easier with higher stats and better gear. I used welfare gear because I'm frugal as [bleep]. I didn't have any stat-boosting potions either.
My "go-to" setup for the bosses was:
Mind helmet
Amulet of accuracy
Ava's attractor
Dorgeshuun xbow + bone bolts
Green d'hide body
Green d'hide chaps
Green d'hide vambs
Ghostly boots
Mind shield
Ring of recoil
Agrith-Na-Na: Used my default setup with a full inventory of pineapple pizzas. Not exactly the hardest boss, but it took the most food to kill because my ranged is awful.
Flambeed: Same gear, ranged it. Wasn't too hard since this boss was surprisingly inaccurate with surprisingly low defense. Can hit hard, though.
Karamel: Easy boss. I maged w/ fire bolt and full ghostly robes (addy gloves instead of ghostly gloves), mind shield, and magic ammy. The key is to stand right next to the boss so it melees you instead. Its melee attacks are very weak and inaccurate. Every time its magic attack hits you (and it can hit really rapidly), your stats get drained severely. Use a restore pot when you fall below 35 magic. Shouldn't need very much food.
Dessourt: For this boss, I wore full ghostly, except addy gloves instead of ghostly gloves; mind shield; iban staff. This one was pretty fast-paced; both of us were hitting constant 20+ on each other (I used Iban Blast). Be careful!
Gelatinnoth Mother: I can't use fire blast (56 magic) so I'd just dance with her while she was weak to fire magic. I wore my "default" gear, except with the following substitutions: amulet of magic, addy gloves, ghostly cloak. I used air staff and blast spells for the mage phases and dorgeshuun xbow for ranged and rune scimmy for melee. She hit a lot of zeros, but she also hit a lot of 20-8 hits. Always stay at full HP. If you've got chaos gauntlets, bolt spells would be good too probably. Though the chaos gauntlets don't help ranged/melee as much as addy gloves do.
Culinaromancer: This guy was similar to dessous except I ranged him w/ the "default" setup. He hits hard and fast, but so do you fortunately. He can hit 25 frequently, so always stay at full HP. You can't dance with him so be very careful.
Do you have to finish legends or just start it?

How much do you guys think whips will cost for the first couple of months after people start getting 85 slayer? I could see training slayer as one of the best ways to make money. Hell, even left shield halfs and dragon meds and dragon platelegs will actually be worth something now! (right? Or am I missing something?)
I'm going to say 12-15M for the first week (like 1-2 guys bringing them into the game). I'd say they settle around 5-6M after a month. I'm "rushing" 85 slayer atm, and know I won't be near the first abby killers, but intend to make several mil per whip for a good while.

I have a feeling that by the time I do the quests and stuff all of that stuff will crash... Might just keep to level 2 clueing at cockatrices.
Sold a pair of iron boots 40k lol.
Few tips:
Pub in seers village sells stew for about 20gp, it heals like 14ish and is great cheap food.
You can sell bear fur stolen at ardy for 120gp ea to guy in vaarrock
Yeah. Sold rune 50k ea, addy 7k ea, mith 1k ea, nats 195 ea. Decent cash but I won't be returning, kind of a one time deal.

Enchanted Valley, need to start Fairy Tale PtII to get access to fairy rings and teleport there.
And thats good because?
This is the loot from a few hours there, excluding many high lvl herb seeds, and several good herbs and gems. Probably worth 350k or so atm. The rune axes were worth ~150k ea until word spread fast of the method. Still, the natures alone make up for the cost of runes you spend for fire strikes, leaving axes + whatever else for profit.

Wow squiggly line on my face. [bleep]n mad.
Noticed that too. Had to stare at it for a minute to realize what the hell it even was.
Grats man, did you max in just 3 years? :eek:
What comp cape reqs do you have left?
Technically this account is over 6 years old (created Jan '06), but the first picture from 2 years ago is when I started playing RS again after a 3 year hiatus, so I'd say 3 years to max is accurate. Here are my remaining comp requirements though (hoping to finish before the end of this year):
- 113/120 Dungeoneering
- All miniquests completed
- All tasks completed
- All Fremennik Sagas completed
- Every song unlocked
- All magic spells unlocked
- All Varrock museum Kudos earned
- Returned Clarence to rest
- All 5 Goblin High Priests laid to rest in Yu'biusk
- Hunt the Thalassus a futher 10 times after the Deadliest Catch quest
- Completed the Fight Kiln minigame
- Kill the Queen Black Dragon and obtained the first Dragonkin Journal
- 113/120 Dungeoneering

Finally,
Finished it just in time for my goal I made a year ago as well. Comp cape within the next several months :)
1 Year of Progress:
Hopefully I can stand in this spot in 1 year wearing a Max/Completionist.
Glad to have it out of the way. I'm still leaning towards DG next so I'll probably start towards that this week and see how it goes =)
