Yew Logs Prices...

[Mazpot]

Same thing with chaos since when were they 150ea!

 

maples have crashed in price though

[weasel]

if you have 1gp one day, the next day you recieve another and the next another, so now you have 3gp right?

 

 

 

BUT, if you take that money to what it would've been worth on the first day you'll find yourself with only 2.99 gp, because there is more money in total, making the general value of gold pieces drop

[Alg]

if anything, the gold farmers should be ready to take advantage of this :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

See my other thread (still on front page) for more details, but this is demand pull inflation as well. You may not see this, but this is changing more than just fletching yew logs.

 

 

 

Yew logs go up in value for many reasons 1) major merchants have sold most of their logs, and as a result there is more demand. 2) fletching becomes more desirable as being seen here, 3) magic becomes more desirable, as seen with the release of ancient magics earlier. 4) macroers are banned, and since they are pretty much 90% of the f2p logs coming in (and yes, that is insanely significant) the overall price increases. This of course is temporary since the botters as soon as they are banned make more lvl 3s. 5) woodcutting becomes less desirable.

 

 

 

Now because of this, the price of alching yew longs may go up, or in the reverse go down. As a result, the market changes itself. Items like Green D'hide bodies and other normally alched items will change to adjust to the prices. People will always try to lose the least money when alching. Bow strings may fluctuate as well, since fletching becomes less desirable to do. This in turn can also effect the market on nature runes, which in turn effect all other runes (if they fall to 200, everyone will make double chaos, or triple cosmics, etc) and even on rune essence. The nature rune works as the balancing figure for these items. Originally in early rs2 natures were worth around 200-250, yew logs were worth around 400, and strings around 100. 78 gp was awarded for doing the boring job of alching, which at that time was seen as a thing only skillers would do, since magic stank in wild. Now things have changed; because of the demand for magic, there is more of a demand for fletching. Fletching now makes decent cash, whereas before people were happy to break even (and free fletching was common); people are always looking for cheap was to train magic, and alching is the most common (though I wouldn't call it cheap myself, though it is relatively fast in comparison to shooting chaos).

 

 

 

 

 

Because of the new items released these passed weeks, the demand on everything has increased (as seen in the passed where slayer was introduced). The new bows are giving cash to high level skillers (who else could have 90 slayer) and the new bows are giving more cash to miners (generally low level since high levels power mine iron, and don't bank addy, coal and mith). As a result, everything increases in value.

 

 

 

See my other thread for more discussion. And P.S. I do not personally believe this is primarily due to macroers since if you go to any f2p world around any yew trees, you will still see them.

[Etta]

People are buying for 350 ea? :shock:

 

 

 

Last time i tried to sell i barely got 250 ea...

 

Although that was a while ago :uhh:

 

 

 

 

 

(Goes off to party)

[Kekek]

Macroers banned ? lol

 

Go to yew tree @f2p world and can you say that you don't see macroers ?

 

There is like 10 in 1 yew in south of falador

[picasso]

i honestly dont know what is going on. Jagex tels us, that they r banning ppl that bought gold for real money, that shuld leave autoers with huge amounts logs and cash ready to sell, so prices shuld actualy be falling

[Harrington]

Actually, banning autoers increases prices.

 

 

 

It's all to do with supply and demand. If a desirable item is in short supply, then the price goes up... simple as that. With less autoers, there's less yews in circulation thus prices go up.

 

 

 

Combine this with people's drives for 99 skill capes and easy exp with the new autostring option, prices will remain high.

[Danqazmlp]

Im strangely suprised with the prices, how there not lower than they are.

 

 

 

We saw sharks plummet in prices, but yews stayed the same, same with flax prices, they didn't plummet a huge ammount with the autoers either.

[devast8u]

I believe the yew logs rose in price because of the String X update. Now that cutting logs is the same speed as stringing longs (U), it would be logical to assume that more people turned to cutting logs for fletching XP.

[mathgenius50]

Simple answer, banning of the bots and so as much people chopping down yews then.

[psychobiker5]

despite all the banning bots things i dont think jagex is doing a good job. The reason yew logs prices are so high is most of the autoers are all 1 person or 1 companies. notice how the only ppl sellin yew logs are sellin in the 10k's most 30k+. Also since fletching became easier tons of ppl are buying so theres a high demand and the big stocks are all owned by single ppl. unfortunately 99 fletching was one of my summer goals (even before the string all option) but luckily due to the amount of alchers i wont lose money i just wont gain any.

[n64jive]

with the new string x option, they were bound to rise a little.

[Tbfgraphx14]

Yay for higher yew prices, I'm getting 99 WC :thumbsup:

 

 

 

But I might just fletch all the yews :P
