Yay, I got into a good team and got my healing to lvl 5 in no time. Suicide collecting really really helps. First I was in a crap team and I get 11 honour points for wave 1. In the good team, I got 65! If anyone wanna ba, pm me in game.

Oh, lvl 5 in one role, that's awesome. Looks like I'll get lvl 5 healer then :o

I have a normal BA horn (not the master version) and I'm looking to charge it. I was wondering though: According to RS Wiki, a master horn holds approx. double the potential of a normal horn. Does this mean a normal horn is charged twice as fast? More concrete: A master horn can hold 3.5m firemaking xp, and is charged in 10 full queen rounds Does this mean a normal horn can hold 1.75 firemaking xp, and is charged in 5 full queen rounds? In other words, is it worth it to get a lvl 5 in all roles to get master horn, since it gives double the xp in the same time spent BA'ing, or not? --------------------- Me and my friend "De Garnaal" (he has full penance) are also looking for some sort of permanent team to charge our horns. My friend is lvl 5 in all roles (I think) and can do basicly any role. I on the other hand am pretty noobish in defender (lvl 2 and I suck) and healer (lvl 4), but I perfectly know what to do for coll (lvl 2) and attacker (lvl 2, but I have rapier, dds and whip + max str outfit). We are looking for a pro team that knows how to suicide while collecting, quickstart, etc. Pm me in game :-)

Since it updated last time. I think it was over a month.

Be happy SOLs are a measly 3m, in stead of the 17m they awere at the start.

So druidic can be worth quite a lot if you find the right players :-) It might actually be worth a green, cause the same guy payed green for top + fury, and my mate tells me bottom is worth more.

:-)

How long does the preparation take? I might take this into consideration, since I hate normal fm'ing.

This worth a lot?

This.

I don't care too much about cash, I'm rich enough, and I'm nearing 99.

this is completely false. Not completely false, it took a few months after the ge came out that the items needed started to cost more than the item produced. I also miss the days before the ge, where everybody would meet in varrock and would trade and haggle. The way a real market is suppose to be. 'Hustling', as some refer to it, was my favorite 'skill' in the game. I would go to an unpop world and buy something cheap and in quantity before jumping back to w1 or w2 and selling high price. It is. GE didn't do anything, it's skill capes and the general change of players from Pk'ers and whatnot to skill-oriented people.

No, in fact it kinda decreases it. Playing Runescape is not exactly considered "cool".

Damn, I would have liked that purple for 500m -.-

I don't think so, but it will if you count in the tokens you get. I would also bank the obby charms you get, or at least until you have around 1000. They save you 7k when you decide to use your blue charms, and give only 50 or so xp less per charm.

I meant in greater numbers as in "more often". I edited it now cause it wasn't clear.

First of all: is it worth it? I heard its up to 55k slay xp per hour, and pretty good for effigies (which are the main reason i'm slaying, apart from slayer xp) I currently have blocked jungle wyrms kalphites living rocks war tortoise hellhounds I am skipping fire giants spirit mages wyverns (depends on mood) dusties (depends on mood) suqah greaters Are any of the tasks i'm skipping assigned more often than others? If so, it would make sens to block that one, right.

Woohoow, Zarfot has posted :-) Anyway, it seems clear that Squisher doesn't really understand statistics. Let us please base our effigy rates on drop logs with more than jsut a few k kills.

I might do the other ones you listed later when I have time. Right now, I have to go to bed :-)

Nvm guys, tip it topics don't max out, sorry for this... Keep discussing as previously

I can't delete it... Well, a mod should soon see it , and lock it. Sorry for this, mods.

I remember the picture sticky starting again every 200 pages (or was it 250?). Damn, I'm starting to think I was wrong. If was wrong, mods please just lock this one!

Seems I can't edit titles -edit: I can :-) And someone please tell me the picture thread (stickied) is an exception on the 200 page limit. If not, I feel stupid for making a useless extra Topic :-)

Made a new Topic, since this one is a about to max out. Please post there from now on, or just spam this one till it's maxed. EDIT: tip it topics can't max out like on RSOF. Please just keep posting like normally. Sorry for this. I DID update the first post though, with a small FAQ on junk and junk trading.

Hello all, This is the second version of this topic, beacuse the previous one maxed out (hehe, I feel like Zarfot and his mega slayer guide now, though people aren't exactly reading this because of my input). I know the title doesn't 100% reflect what is being discussed in this topic, but I decided to keep the original title for easier recognition. EDIT: TIP IT TOPICS DON'T MAX OUT. MODS, PLEASE LOCK THIS ONE! Anyway, let's get started. This topic is mainly meant to discuss the evolution of rares, spirit shields, and other bought out items. "Hot" items, or items showing some strange behaviour, can also be discussed. Basically, this is where you can discuss most merchanting related stuff. This is NOT a topic to discuss "solutions" to rares or other weird suggestions. Face it, they've been here for ages, so let's just try to make the best out of it, and see if we can make some money out of them, or at least get some insight into their price changes. I might add a list of stable junk items, and if I really can be bothered, a list of street prices of all rares and spirit shields. Help on this is always appreciated. [hide= FAQ] What is junk? Junk is a term used for items that are unsellable in the GE. Before manipulation clans became big, junk were mainly items wrongly priced by Jagex in the GE. Maple longbow (u) for isntance, was priced at 144 gp each, and couldn't go lower (opposite of a price ceiling). Because the price couldn't go lower, it was "stable junk". On the other hand, when a manipulation clan manipulates an item's price much above its "real value", this item will become junk once it is dumped by the clan. This junk is "unstable junk", because it quickly falls back to its original price. Okay, I understand what junk is now. What is junk trading? Junk trading occurs when people trade a highly wanted item (that is unbuyable in the GE) together with junk for cash. The cash that is paid, is the "street price". Someone could sell his purple partyhat for instance for 1.2B gp (= street price). This means he sells his partyhat for 450m (current GE price, which you can't evade because of the trade limit) PLUS 750M worth of junk. It is vital to understand that the "real estimated price" (what people would pay if there was no trade limit) is LOWER than the street price, because although junk is unsellable in the GE, it still holds some value. In my example, the real estimated price could be around 900m. This means that someone would be willing to pay 900m CASH for nothing but the partyhat. People are paying more (1.2B) because they get 750m worth of junk with it, which they hope to turn into cash (around 300m). In the end, the player ends up with a partyhat and 300m cash, so essentially, he has paid 900m for it. Schematic 1.2B cash <=> partyhat + 750m junk 750m junk <=> 300m cash ***add up both of them and scratch the junk at both sides*** 1.2B cash <=> partyhat + 300m cash 900m cash <=> partyhat [/hide] [hide= First post of the previous Topic] taken from RSOF: So what does tip it think of this? I'm pretty interested to see what's going to happen. EDIT: the original post is very old. In the mean time, 3a has crashed, spirit shields have crashed and picked up again. Partyhats have picked up again. 3rd age is recently picking up again, and whatnot. Also, this topic seems to have become the place for general merchanting talk, and I think that is a nice evolution. Seen a recent strange price rise and can't explain it? Having troubles deciding whether or not to dump your dragon bones? Well, hopefully we can help you, or at least have a nice discussion about it. Let's recap: this topic is now used to discuss the trends on the "big" items (Rares, 3rd age, Spirit Shields, ...). Questions about other items will most probably be answered too. [/hide]
