I said long term... They will go up again... thanks. Inflation? LoL, you're telling me that inflation is at 100%? I really doubt that the amount of money in RS is doubling every few months. People should really understand what inflation really is and how it's caused before using the term (hearing a little too much of 'inflation this', 'inflation that') Okay, I know Jagex is really slow with releasing updates, especially for certain skills, but I have no doubt in my mind that within the next 5 years that prayer will receive a big boost, so no, it's not safe to invest in them long term, but for me personally, I'd be comfortable for merchanting them for a year.. any longer might be iffy. And my analysis may not turn out true, but technically it's correct. There's lots of other factors to consider, which other people have listed in the topic themselves.. this is just what I believe, and I may very well be wrong, but I believe it's true. And to the person that suggested that I posted this topic to manipulate with the market -- uhhh, no. :blink: I have 400 dragon bones in my bank and I'm collecting them myself to raise my prayer level a bit. I don't merchant.
