  1. Whip + Defender and claws would be superior.
  2. ^ You learn with experience. I failed about 50% of my flips when I started teaching myself. Eventually you learn what works and what doesn't and why. Then it's easy.
  3. Yep, I really miss his market analysis posts. =\
  4. No. Let the bolts go with the accounts. We don't need that kind of gp added to the market.
  5. AGS is better than SGS, but claws are even better with turmoil. War tortoise -> Unicorn after your tort is empty. Turmoil makes a HUGE difference. Extremes make a HUGE difference.
  6. Use Ranging potions, and bring extra pouches.
  7. Well Onyx bolts are alchable for profit, so that might add some gold. Anyway, expect rares to rise anyway. Duke Freedom? He got banned for that exact reason if I recall (price manipulation via cornering a market).
  8. Might get banned from the forums :roll:
  9. I saw the guy who's duping at Mobilizing Armies yesterday.
  10. Say you have $10 trillion USD in total money in your economy (about what it currently is sitting at, this is M3 for reference) and $15 trillion GDP, 2010 dollars. 10 years later, you have a $20 trillion money supply and $30 trillion GDP, 2010 dollars. Money supply went up? Did price levels rise? NO. Price levels don't matter. It's all about real income (also known as real purchasing power). As for fixed value goods from shops, the higher price levels only benefit EVERY player. Runes from a store are relatively cheaper now -> higher real purchasing power -> higher utility. What I meant by stable was the prices of goods have leveled out. NOT that manipulations on individual items don't temporarily cause instability in that particular item's market. The long term trend of the economy overall is now stability. Here's a bad real life example, remember those beanie baby toys? For a while they were "bought out" - it was hard to purchase them because collectors/crazy people were buying them all for seemingly absurd prices. I believe the going price for a Princess Diana? doll was easily $100. The prices were sky high! But was the US economy experiencing inflation (above the typical inflation accompanying growth)? No. Changing money supply is not intrinsically bad. As you said, you should be tight during inflation and loose during deflation. However, since Runescape's economy is currently stable, NEITHER should be applied. Having larger numbers in your bank is not a problem. Remember: real purchasing power is what is of concern. What is problematic about someone buying herbs for high prices? The buyer obviously is willing to pay the price, otherwise he/she would not pay for it. The seller obviously is willing to accept the price, otherwise he/she would not sell it. The high price is just what it is worth.
  11. Or you could kill blue dragons.
  12. :mellow: You're thinking about cash per player than net cash in the economy. OT: The only major moneysink that Jagex has released recently is summoning. we're long overdue for another sink. Net cash in the economy? Net has no relevance there. And what you're thinking of is money supply. A higher money supply does not intrinsically necessitate higher price levels. We do NOT need another money sink. The economy is stable - no need to [bleep] it up.
  13. An increase in the value of items is deflationary, but only to the extent that the items are actually valuable. If there is initially 100m of coins entering the game and 100m of items, but the value of items is now 150m, the relative value of coins has increased - which is equivalent to real price levels falling, or deflation. But there's no need to "fix" inflation - the PvP statues' effect has run its course, and price levels are stable once again. If anti-inflationary measures are introduced, we'll see deflation and chaos in the economy again.
  14. No, mummies are almost half the xp of ape atoll. Don't even consider mummies.
  15. Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. You mean to tell me that every single item is controlled by merchant clans simultaneously? That's completely unfounded and untrue. But I would agree that purchase quantities could be tightened - who needs 10 barrows armor pieces per four hours?
  16. How could you ask for variety in the fish you cook? It's the exact same no matter which you use. Withdraw all, cook all, deposit all, repeat. Anyway, not much new information here, but at least you ran some numbers. Consider adding sections regarding wine and pies.
  17. Heavy rod can get you into the 60 thousands per hour.
  18. First day of FFA corp with No Vesta. Not bad, but I think I'm going to want 200/300 MA ranks for Dragonstone/Onyx/Berserker (i).
  19. Are you teleporting from Stealing Creation via the disciple?
  20. Take out the Grand Exchange and trade restrictions and you're right back there again.
