Dr_Locust Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Does anyone know why the price of Super Attack potions have been skyrocketing recently? :?: Dr Locust <-- Click for my blog...+2000 Total, PhD in Questing, Woodcutting, Agility, Thieving, and Firemaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHummingbird Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Supply < Demand = Price ^^ Simple enough ;) 99 Range on 08/25/08!Solo Arma Hilt on 12/06/08! (clicky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craven_range Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Supply < Demand = Price ^^ Simple enough ;) Or Jagex decided to Change the price manually ;) But he's quite right. More people buying than there are People selling the pots, that means people offer max, which makes the G.E Price go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Supply < Demand = Price ^^ Simple enough ;) That does not answer the "why" question. You just explained basic economic rules which is not really helpful. Personally I always wondered why super attack potions were practically worth nothing. I find them quite useful in every day monster fighting.

Dr_Locust Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Supply < Demand = Price ^^ Simple enough ;) Yeah, I know. Let me re-phrase....does anyone know why there is a sudden [seemingly] increased demand on super attack potions?

asianboy7o7 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 waterfeinds maybe? what do waterfiends have to do with super attack jagex probably saw that making super attacks makes a massive loss and raised it or a lot of people buying at max price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfer25 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Monster Hunting? Godwars, Daggantoh Kings? I would assume people use Super Attacks and Super Strengths for those :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hantoumei Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 well, today my drop rate for irits has been a bit low, maybe it has been changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinzo04 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Drop rates oh herbs wouldn't of changed. More people want Super Attacks. Price rises little by little.

Italian5kamikaze Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Probably because people realized how cheap they are, theyre extremely useful for speeding up slayer tasks and at that price even just regular training.

Sumpta Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Eek! I sold 2k super attacks for 350 ea two weeks ago. Oh well, good news for the other 1k I was still going to sell. Super attacks have always been ridiculously cheap. Maybe a lot of herblorists have decided to change to super anti poisons (better xp anyway), thus lowering the supply of the attack potions? The price of unicorn horn dust has been dropping over the last week, while super anti poisons have been going up. So it's definitely become far more attractive to train herblore with them, making the super attacks the dupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Considering from whence they have fallen, these last movements are relatively meaningless (think dead cat bounce). I still have thousands that I'd rather use myself than sell at these dirt-cheap prices.

toast647 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Some possible reasons Maybe they rose because more people are starting to slay. People making them from herblore stopped selling at min. Merchanters are buying them out :P Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uninstall Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 maybe it has something to do with that guy that bought 200k of them ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildxYak Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 People have realised how much quicker training is by spending less than 1k on a great attack boost. More people are realising that the best ways to make money are combat related monster hunting and want to get levels quickly and are heading to PC/bandits/slaying/etc. 99: Agility 28/12/14|Thieving 20/03/15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garados Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Looks like a price manipulation. like what happened with anti-fire and range pots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green9090 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Looks like a price manipulation. like what happened with anti-fire and range pots Yeah. That kind of clean exponential graph would have to be caused by a HUGE increase in interest in fighting (like, say, a new boss monster, which didn't happen), or a clan deciding to each buy 25k super attack potions every hour and dump them in a couple days.
