When does the Grand Exchange update its prices?

Featured Replies

Preferably in New Zealand time \' I want to buy an animal mask as soon as it changes but I can't seem to figure out exactly when it happens :cry:

It changes each day. I'm not sure if its completely random but for me (I live in Melbourne, Australia) it seems to change somewhere between midnight and 5am.

It is based on the volume of an item sold. This means that if there are loads of yew logs suddenly bought and sold the price will get updated quickly but if none are sold then the price will not get updated at all. Obviously the number of trades done for each update also depends on the overall popularity of the item itself ie it may require 1 million yews to change but only 2 party hats.

The GE updates the prices every day as already said. I don't know the current time because it changes too often. It could be at evening this week and at the morning next week (and there was no price update in the last 30 hours). But all items update at once and the price is based of the items sold between now and the last update. Some items like godswords or some rares don't change in price every day cause there are not enough items sold.

Thats the way it works with ban appeals, and probably MTK and GE.

Holy Moly Bijay!!! You have just pointed out the bleeding obvious part of a puzzle I had with the GE. I did read on the runescape site that it was to do with volumes traded but I had not realise that all trade was up dated including ones where there was no price change. Thank you for that it should help me tremendously. (I will not say why it is so helpful but trust me when I say it will save me a fortune)

Basically, its the "new start" of the entire day for RuneScape. It's also when Bert get his sand restocked, and Arhein gets more pineapples and seaweed.. I think they all are based off of this time, or from my experience at least.

Arhein and Bert restock based on when you obtained the items. Same with Tears of Guthix.

I went there in the morning the other day, and I couldn't get any from them the next day past that time.. So I don't know about that.. Maybe I'm wrong though, it's just what I experienced..

So many different answers :ohnoes: I'll look into Bloodargon's one a bit later on, I stayed up to 3AM this morning to try and see when it changed (NZ time) but couldn't stand staying up any longer lol so between 3AM - 12:30PM it updated #-o

the price will change if their isn't anyone buying them, and their is a larger supply.

 

the prices change with supply and demand, if there if a high demand for something and a low supply prices shoot up. if there is a large supply and low demand, prices drop down.

Don't waste your time with that rubbish, you'll just be disappointed like several other people...including me. Just get a SGS, all the cool kids are doing it.

No, the update isn't based on supply and demand. It's based on the amount of items sold on different prices. I don't know how exactly.

 

If it would change with supply/demand phats would drop like hell.

Prices also change at every game update, which most commonly seems to occur at 6 am EST, which I believe is around midnight Tuesday night in Australia.

1. it updates at a different time each day

 

 

 

2. Mtk isn't by a 'game day'. its by when you completed the quest

Common misconception. It doesn't update the grand exchange prices at any system updates, except the servers crashed.
