    I need help merchanting

    in Help and Advice

    Posted

    I have recently stopped paying my membership and I sold everything. I have a bout 70m and I want to learn how to become a good merchant. I have never been successful at it and never really tried it. I want to know how to do it/what to buy/tips.

     

     

     

    I'm f2p and was just wondering if anyone could help.

     

     

     

    Thanks :)

    Why didn't Jagex just remove skilling?

    You'll have to excuse me if I repeat something that has been previously stated, but I'm a bit short of time, and only had the time to read some of the posts.

     

     

     

    First of all, if Jagex were to remove the three main skills from the game, than many more would follow, making it so that it was all of the non-combat skills. Without mining, there would be no smithing. Without smithing, many armours would no longer exist. Also, barrows wouldn't be a suitable alternative, unless Jagex were to get rid of free-to-play also. Another thing is that without smithing, crafting would lose a large part of itself, and all enchanted jewlery would cease to exist. Without the jewlery to enchant, they might aswell as take out all of the enchant spells with mage. Now, take out fishing, where will all of the pkers get there sharks, there lobbies, there monkfish. without fishing, much, much, of cooking is gone. Very few people use cooking on things besides that which is fished. There are some exceptions, but they are so few in comparison that they wouldn't make a viable argument. So that pretty much kills the fighters food. Now, lets get rid of Woodcutting. Well, no wood, so firemaking is gone too. Again making it much harder to train cooking, which has already taken a major blow by taking out fishing. Fletching would also be killed. Construction would also be gone, due to a lack of planks, so for many barrow'ers who you the alter and teleport in your player-owned-houses, find a new method. Pit-falling in hunter would also no longer be, which would get rid of all but the basic camouflages. There are probably tons more things that would have to be taken out, but I am too lazy to find them.

     

     

     

    Now, free-to-play has almost no armour, or else weak armour. They would have to rely on members to get them weapons. pay-to-play on the other hand, has barrows...YAY!!! Of course, due to the lack of houses, the price on the will rise a bit. You also have to wonder, what will you barrow in. Jagex said that they will not make rares, so the only way to achieve this would to take just about every single armour and weapon that previously existed out, unless they are still obtainable. So dragonhide armour except the green d'hide body, and treasure trails, would be gone. All melee armour except the low level'd armour, barrows, treasure trail, the dragon-fire shield, and dragon (except the sq. shield, which must be smithed) would all be non-existent. Therefore, only those who already had barrows, will be able to barrow, and taking out Ahrim would be much more difficult without dragonhide. All of this would further increase prices, and boom, armour is expensive.

     

     

     

    You are saying to take out many of the skills, but to have kept the wild. Would people risk there suddenly expensive armour out there? Probably not. So everyone will be pk'ing in weak armour. Meaning you get less every time you pk someone. So you will get less income, and have to pay more to get the armour and weapons (except those sold at shops). All of the sudden, you are spending more on pots and armour and supplies (expecially food, due to it being much harder to make), and making less money. Eventually all but the best of the pkers will even be able to pk. The only profitable skill would be herblore. New players will have a hard time playing, be unable to afford any armour or weapons, unless they figure out about herblore, but the prices of armour would be so out of whack, that it could take months to just get enough money to start pking. People would be quiting left and right, and the game would no longer be profitable to Jagex. No more game.

     

     

     

    Another thing to pay attention to is the fact that even though macroers would be gone, that doesn't necessarily mean that Real-World-Trading would be gone. They wouldn't sell just gold, armour, weapons, pots, herbs. They would make money buy paying actual people to play, which would jack up there prices, but they could very well still Real-World-Trade.

     

     

     

    Thank you to those who took the time to read all of that. I am sorry that it went on for so long. Although I do disagree with the thread-maker, I also understand his viewpoint. Skillers and non-major-combatant peeps often feel negatively towards past pkers, and stakers, and it is unwarented. Removing those three skills would achieve an end of macroers (spelling?), But in my eyes it would also have a much greater negative impact on Runescape. That is just my two cent's worth though. (Sorry for the wall of text)

     

     

     

    Perfect! Very well said.

     

     

     

    To the topic maker: I would just like to add. If I'm going to use your reasoning to fix these problems Jagex might as well just get rid of runescape. ALL the problems would be solved! (Clearly sarcasm)

    How can you have a Halloween hood and not have logged in for 467 days?

     

    There's 365 days in a year, and the Hood was released in Halloween 2007, it hasn't even been Halloween 2008 yet.

     

    ...O_O...?

     

    I smell fake...

    I like the fullscreen game-play, its seems more like a client MMORPG!

     

     

     

    Would be better if there was low + high detail for HD, esp. for the people who have "badder" computers.

     

     

     

    You can edit the HD details and change things like if you want to see the roof of a building and such.
