frankiani Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Can somebody explain to me why are the prices on runite ore/bar so inconsistent to the prices of rune stuff? Do you have an idea of how can this be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monegasque07 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think it's merchanter. The update will stop this I think. A quand un monde fran̮̤̉̉ais? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiani Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 i don't think so, i really think that this is a problem. Prices are low because a lot of ppl use the grand exchange to buy/sell rune stuff, so is not a merchanting thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiani Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 well, i thank Monegasque07 for his reply, but i don't think that merchanting is the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmagicy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Are you wanting that the rune platebody be the worth of 5 rune bars/5 rune ore+40 coal and a rune dagger be the worth of 1 rune bar? The reason why this isn't happening is because smithing is not the only way these items enter the economy. You can get these items from monster drops, and that is why these prices do no correlate to rune bar prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankiani Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 You talk about rune platebody, but there was always a relation on rune bars/cost of kiteshield, platelegs and rune 2h, the platebody has been a loss for smithers from a long time ago.

icecube Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It's pretty simple. There is a large supply of these items, so price goes down. Not really anyone's fault. The Rune Bar's price doesn't really change because of the limited supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmagicy Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 but there was always a relation on rune bars/cost of kiteshield, platelegs and rune 2h, It has to do with items in demand and hi-alch prices. Most items will only fall 200 under the hi-alch price, otherwise, people would just alch them instead of selling them. Let's take a look at all items with anaylsis: Rune bars lets say are 14k Dagger: Hi-alch:4800 Cost using rune bars:14000 Market/Ge price-4700 Monster drops:many Due to the super low demand, this item will hang around the hi-alch price. Mace hi-alch:8640 Cost using rune bars:14000 Market/Ge price-9100 Most drops:7 Another low demand item, meaning this follows the hi-alch price. Med helm hi-alch:11520 Cost using rune bars=14000 Market/Ge price-12100 Monster drops:Quite a few Low demand. Follows the hi-alch price. Sword: Hi-alch-12480 Cost using rune bars=14000 Market/Ge price-13500 Monster drops:1(really?) Very very low demand, follows hi-alch price.(the ge price was probably originally set at 13500 and probably never changed because no one was buying/selling) Scimmy Hi-alch:15360 Cost using rune bars:28k market/ge price:20500 Monster drops: Quite a few Although this item is still very hot for f2p because it the best wep in the game, there are other factors for its relatively low price. Because there are so many circulating out there, and with more pumping in each day, the supply is growing, which means the price will generally stay. Long sword hi-alch:19200 Cost using rune bars:28000 Market/Ge price-20000 Monster drops:Some Low demand item. Follows hi-alch Full helm hi-alch:21120 Cost using rune bars:28000 Market/Ge price-23200 Mosnter drops:Some Some to little demand, but lots of people who can smith this and also the monster drops will make the supply more than enough to make it follow the hi-alch price. Square Shield hi-alch:23040 Cost using rune bars:28000 Market/Ge price:24800 Monster drops:Quite a few Not too much demand, will follow hi-alch price. Warhammer hi-alch:24900 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market/Ge price:29000 Monster drops:Some Theres no demand, but there's not much supply. Will be a little above hi-alch price. Battleaxe hi-alch:24960 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market price:27500 Monster drops:Quite a few Tiny market. Usually follows hi-alch price. Chainbody hi-alch:30000 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market price:34700 Monster drops:Some Not a big market, usually follows hi-alch price. Kiteshield hi-alch:26640 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market price:38000 Monster drops:Quite a few The supply of this isn't really that high and the monsters that drop this are pretty high lvled. This seems like its more follwing the rune bar price, but is a little lower because some of the supply is from people getting monster drops and bounty, who want to get rid of quickly. 2h hi-alch:38400 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market price:43700 Monster drops:Some High in demand for f2p. The fact that you can only get this thru player smith or monster drops, the supply is low, meaning smithers make up most of the supply, therefore price will follow rune bars. Platelegs Hi-alch:38400 Cost using rune bars:42000 Market/Ge price:42800 Monster drops:5 Same as 2h's Platebody Hi-alch:39000 Cost using rune bars:70000 Market/ge price:45000 Monster drops:6 Don't really understand why it is this price. Conclusion:kitesheild, platelegs, and 2h all follow the bar price because of little monster drops, the need for 99 to make, and the fact that the 2h cannot be bought at a store. As to your second question Do you have an idea of how can this be changed? It cannot be changed because most of the weapons that are not in line with the bar prices have something that needs the same req, but is more powerful than that, meaning that the item is pretty much not used. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
