mello757 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 every rare is dropping in price. slowly. come January and the trade update it might pick up speed. I'd suggest NOT. Ive been checking all the masks daily and it seems like 500k drop per week average since the GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every skill costs money if you look at it, we can assume this one will too. OT: Don't buy a phat IMO, or any rare for the matter. Like mello757 said, the prices are very unstable, and there's better things you could spend your money on.

gun_hippy Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 While the skill is neither cheap or expensive to train, So i'm assuming like, 30m from 1-99 tops. As for the phat, everything is sooo unstable atm, but i would if i where you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angry555 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 i agree but if u absolutly need a rare get a santa hat because its far less than phat and still looks cool *-P.K.Masters-* |5+ Years of Experience|F2P Events|Cmb: 95+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecube Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 He did sell his and got an AGS/SGS I believe. I'd wait till before the New Year to buy one because I think they'll go back up with JaGEx's trade restrictions because the GE price is still pretty high. That is, if you choose to buy one.

NJE03 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I would say that you should go ahead and buy one if you want one. Sure they may drop but what does it matter if you have no intention of selling. :-k [spoiler=Stats:]Updated December 22, 2011: Total level - 1442 - 170M+ XP , Combat level - 115Combat skills: Attack - 90, Defence - 99 (24.45m+ XP), Strength - 90, Constitution - 99 (16.42M+ XP) Ranged - 99 (13.32M+ XP), Prayer - 60, Magic - 99 (13.25M+ XP)Non-Combat skills: Cooking - 99 (13.80M+ XP), Woodcutting - 99 (31.95M+ XP), Fishing - 90, Firemaking - 99 (24.82M+), Crafting - 90, Smithing - 90, Mining - 85, Runecrafting - 60, Dungeoneering - 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets_3ekout Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 No, get 99 summoning instead how do you know if summoning requires money? sorry if its already in the diaries. I have a feeling it will, it will be like construction, buying life runes, buying eggs, (Reply to both) If you read the Development diary you will see Jagex directly says that summoning will cost you and it won't be cheap, but it won't be expensive either. For this reason, chances are 99 summoning won't cost anywhere near Phat price, so even if you decide to buy summoning remember you probably will have more to spend on. I don't recommend buying rares, they're too unpredictable now. I'd buy myself a GS or prayer levels if I had the cash, but that's just me, do whatever you enjoy with your money.

RichieMcD Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Rares are very unpredictable right now. I have a feeling after January they are either going to crash or sky-rocket. I think if you got 126 combat with a BGS it would look alot better than a Phat as i much prefer the look of the prayer SC to a phat. Really its personal choice. You could buy something very unpredictable and hope for the best or you could buy 99 prayer and get 126 combat which would look alot better IMO. Also with 126 combat you could probaly make the money for a Phat rather easily by GWDing your way to one. Really do you want items or levels?

Star_Fox Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 here are a few open reasons WHY im not getting 99 prayer. -it takes too long. winter break just started, not willing to waste it by no lifing in runescape. -i got ripped off. sold my drag bones for 2k ea when i was previously going for 99 prayer...then got bored, when they were being sold for 2.3 in the market, cant buy them again in GE. -IM NOT BUYING THE BONES BACK. yep, cant help it but wait since i already lost 16m on my godsword, not willing to lose another 9m more. only thing(s) left in runescape for me to do... -buy a yellow phat and quit -wait for summoning -get defence lvl up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phat prices are falling at a very high rate and could continue to do so. You are unwilling to get 99 prayer now as your lost 15% on them while you are thinking of buying an item that has been consistently falling for the last week or two. So get defence up and wait for summoning really. IMO you are just putting a major gamble on something that could crash or sky-rocket Look at it this way. You have to survive on 180mil for the rest of your life. You decide to place a bet in a casino in that game of the ball landing on a certain number (i forget what its called) You place 180mil on black. You now have a 1/2 chance of winning. So IMO just wait for summoning while getting your defence up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captainkidd Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It's very hard to say, if you bought it now and 2008 rolls around and you can make a killing you'd feel alright, but if you don't and they keep droping, well... :roll: There's no real way to say, what I would do is hang on to it, and wait for the rares to stable out.

anonymouse_ Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 -buy a phat and quit If you wanna be cool (like me) 8-) Well, you should probably get your defence level up then, because summoning won't be coming until January, and by that time Christmas break will almost be over.Next summoning diary is in 3 weeks, so summoning = end of Jan :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspokaspofkjsopfkapo Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 the only reason that rare prices were rising so fast is because of merchanting and now that merchanting is kaput rares are kaput Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rares are very unpredictable right now. I have a feeling after January they are either going to crash or sky-rocket. I think if you got 126 combat with a BGS it would look alot better than a Phat as i much prefer the look of the prayer SC to a phat. Really its personal choice.

Really do you want items or levels? im not buying a phat just so i can make money off it. im purposly buying a phat for its rarity and the status it can hold in the future. heres a few reasons why -there will always be more godsword hilts -there will always be more players with 138 cb -there will always be players with maxed out stats. -there will never be more partyhats or rares. in a few years, rares will be like the examples above today.

Thats a very good point. I completly forgot about that. Yes there will always be more level 138 CB. sure about 10 will be added each day from august onwards maybe but there will never be more phats. In 2 years you could own a extremely rare item not oftenly seen (i meen this as more players who have phats in their accounts quit as alot of people who used to own phats were merchants and stakers) Either way just be 100% sure that you will still be happy with your choice if they fall in price.

I'm lookin to buy a phat in february or march.. I pray there are still sellers when I finish my runecrafting. The way you are lookin at it is the same I am. I'm not lookin for profit on a phat jus lookin for a nice item that will always have a great look. Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
