dragon246665 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 As did many, many players when pvp worlds came out, I tryed my hand at pking for the first time in a long while, it was the most fun I had had in runescape since the old wildy, all in all a total blast. Well my luck turned sour after I had just finished off someone with full drag armor and for about 500k worth of stuff all without being skulled. Well after my 2 seconds of feeling super awesome I was K.O'd by a godsword by someone in full bandos...ouch! Well having just lost roughly 1 mil worth of equipment I felt the need to gather some money and heard the many cries of "buying dds max price" and "buying sharks max price" an idea hit me, running weapons of all sorts between pkers and the GE. So far today I have made 300k off of selling dds, 200k off sharks and 150k off rune scimitars. THe point of this thread is to post any similar experiences and the cash you made, happy price gouging.

compfreak847 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 My order for 1 drag dagger (p++) still hasn't bought. I put it in for max a few hours after the updates came out. Almost everything related to combat, from black d hide sets to dark bows, is very very hard to buy. I can't see anyone making a decent profit when you have to buy it at max anyway. Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyPunchers Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I want my Black D hide legs and dds. :cry: Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon246665 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I managed to get the items fine and make profit as well, but I placed my orders before i went to school and didn't play until 10:30 that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Fishing your own lobsters is faster than buying them. World 2 should be back open for business. In reality though, a lot of people have found that they should trade in person, not through the GE. As they can sell at max easier, and when the GE is clogged like it is now, they don't like being to it, when they can just fish out as much as they want without restrictions to players.

Mylez Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Merchanting is on the increase, due to supply and demand. I don't have any stories to share, as I've quit RS. However, understanding the markets has prepared many people for this, I know several friends bought in excess of 1,000 sharks, Super sets and many other essential supplies, knowing there would be a high demand when PvP returns.

Promise Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Honestly, I think after some time, these items will fall. Pots, sharks, etc. The new system cannot replace the old system, and I hate it. Back in the day, I always pked at edge. Soon as you get one kill, you'll be pjed and soon as you stray away from a bank your as good as dead. The masses of 1 itemers and people who don't skull make pking loose money. Before this update, I was lvl 118, due to summoning. Now the new combat system, which I love, made me lvl 111. I can once again terrorize mid creator. I think PvP worlds will eventually die out and BH will take over again. Either this or we should just wait till all these pesky 1 items get bored and then try to actually have a good fight. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsters have been selling at max instantly in GE. I also sold a rune full at max in ge, im liking this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
