SwimSteve2 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Well i quit RS over three years ago...and just randomly bought members again because i became really, REALLY bored today. i quit because it got boring and i didnt have enough time to play all the time anymore, and recently i visited the website and noticed theres a LOT of new things. ive been mulling over joining rs again for a while, and just decided to do it... anyways so i have a few questions... whats the best way to make money now? all ive been doing is basically fishing lobbies. i basically sold my bank before i quit to buy a purple phat, so all i have in my bank is purple phat, 125k, very few basic runes, some f2p crap, etc... and whats the deal with this grand exchange? is that the best way to sell/buy stuff? (like for the best price, time is not an issue now since i have like no money.) are there any other cool things i need to know about? im basically asking how to restart my new rs career with such limited resources. thanks a lot.

starclimber Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That purple phat will fetch you a few hundred million >.>, so you're good there, and grand exchange is pretty much the best/easiest way of trading. It sets the prices for ALL items, and trade limit is now 3k gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 purple phat isnt 200m... and they're near impossible to sell without junk trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaytanicc Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Believe it or not i only joined RS JAN 2008, so i started playing when the Grand Excange came out and rught before Wildy was taken away. Firstly the Grand Exchange (GE) is one of the best ways to sell/buy any item you want(except for rares). Just pop it in at the price you want fro the item and wait till someone buys it. Im sure you have noticed that there is a Minimum price and a Max price. Those are just the price bounderies. Im also sure you have noticed the 3k trade limit. This was made to prevent RWT. There are also some new Mini Games Ssuch as Fist Of Guthix and a new Runecrafting Guild |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimSteve2 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 i knew about the 3k limit but that doesnt apply to grand exchange transactions, right? and whats the best way to sell a rare, i mean it sounds like the prices are set? so does that mean they arent going up in price anymore like they used to? and no more wildy? :( whats up with that?? i was definitely a pker and a combat-oriented player when i quit and i dont really want to change that...

davidium Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 hmm now is not a very good time to sell your phat cause you will have quite a lot of difficulty trying to do so...nonetheless just put it in ge for min price and wait...it WILL sell eventually...i'm quite sure that prices of phats will go up eventually as more money enters the game as long as jagex does not do anything dumb the reason why phats, rares prices have fallen is due to a credit crunch in runescape (seriously). with the introduction of construction lots of cash was leaked away from the game (before this runescape was experiencing a rather high inflation rate which i can't say is healthy for the economy either) The addition of summoning further exacerbated the problem and many people sold their phats in order to train these 2 skills and basically with less money circulating prices of most goods especially rares will fall but since the dumb GE is unable to reflect the street prices accurately people will have to either wait a long time to sell their rares or use junk trading where the other player buying your rare offers "junk items" as part of payment for your phat. junk items are mostly by-products of skilling which are worthless thereafter such as certain jewelry (ruby bracelets) and stuff. alternatively you could put up an item which is greatly undervalued by the GE such as 3rd age and some animal masks (if you are lucky enough to find them from a treasure trial) and sell them together with your purple phat in order to equilise the price of your phat which is overvalued by the GE. Basically a GE overvalued item sold with a GE undervalued item to equalise prices anyway right now fewer people are training con and summoning so the outflow of money from the game is gradually decreasing while the rather constant rate of high alchs and stuff such as Pest Control will bring in cash into the game...so i predict that in time to come phat and rare prices will rise...slowly but surely. hopefully the above will also give you some idea of some new concepts players have to be familiar with, with the introduction of the GE maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
