70kyews Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I started playing RS in 2004 when laws were 1k each. I got so used to this price, but when I came back after quitting for a year or so they were ~300gp each where they've stayed for a while. Today I was crafting laws using tele tabs and I realized that if I had crafted them back when they were 1k each I could make almost 50k per load, which would still be a poop load of money per hour even if I ran from Draynor to the boat to entrana and used a glory ammy to tele back. So why did so few people craft laws back then, and why did the price drop to 300gp? LOL. This could take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigershelby2 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 i cant answer the crating question, but i used to see them at about 500 each in world 1 sometimes less...the reson they are now around 300 each is because of the ge Barrows: Verac- Helm, Brassard x 2,Torag- Body, HammersKaril- CrossbowGuthan- BodyAhrim- Hood, Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowsEatFood Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Today I was crafting laws using tele tabs ^ This. So many easy ways to craft them. Also more people with 54 rc, more people killing things that drop laws, and not as many people think they're worth that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinguimmaiden Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 GE "commands" the price changes nowadays, thats why they dropped like hell, players no more rule the prices ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigershelby2 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 GE "commands" the price changes nowadays, thats why they dropped like hell, players no more rule the prices ;) off topic but i agree...i want the old trading system back, even if it is harder to find the item you want Barrows: Verac- Helm, Brassard x 2,Torag- Body, HammersKaril- CrossbowGuthan- BodyAhrim- Hood, Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players don't rule the prices, but clans do. On the topic. Laws were only ever 1k each in low numbers (20 max) after this the price dropped a lot since you were bulk buying. O and the reason they were higher in price back then was it was harder to sell in bulk and harder to craft in bulk.

Patr1ck Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Laws used to be around 500 gp each, not 1k each. The only time they were sold at 1k was if someone just needed 1 or 2, same as today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, they did used to be 1k each, and bloods were 2k each (before charge was nerfed :wall: ). Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about. And pretty much been answered already, just had to say that -.- . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomyth105 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 it is all because of the GE. The GE gets people the items they are looking for easier. in this case all they need is to buy it on the GE before they would need to go through the hassle of finding a seller.

Inuashakent Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 You can buy any quantity of an item for the a given price at the GE. Also, it's hard to get passed the [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Fast free laws was around for a long time and it created tons of law runes. Over time they dropped in price, like any other item. Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzewarrior Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 rsc, laws were definitely 1k each. 2nd troll to 840+ post count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezon Dash Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Laws were definitely 350 gp each when i started playing in 2005 (or 06 I can't remember) when I started playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Smash40 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i think another factor is also the change from quest only to available to all. this led to more people making them so more came into the economy ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koshybear Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 They were 1k each because when people wanted to teleport somewhere but didnt have the right runes, with no set limits(grand exchange) people though 1k would grab somebodys attention for 1 rune. helped the person who needed it, and helped the person who sold it.

wormy Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would probably say 2 things: 1 fast free laws 2 when jagex tried to kill RWT the made all shops have infinate supplies, I am not p2p, but I assume the mage guild also has inf supplies. Now that you can buy a whole lot of law runes, instead of the flow being hindered by both bots and players camping the area, the price bottomed out. (though this might have happened after the price went down, I really do not recall when the price started to go down) Bottom line there are more laws in the world now, and less demand due to the multitude of alternative teleports.

70kyews Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Alright, thanks for all the responses. I just have two (nooby) questions... What was fast free laws? What quest was required to craft laws and why? LOL. This could take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Alright, thanks for all the responses. I just have two (nooby) questions... What was fast free laws? What quest was required to craft laws and why? 1. On world 66 you would trade 26 essence (pure after the update) for 26 laws and your essence noted. This allowed the crafter to gain exp at very quick rates (at the time atleast) and the runner to gain a big some of money. 2. Troll Stronghold or Death Plateau, which ever now have the exp lamp.

Oh thanks. But why Troll Stronghold?? That quest has absolutely nothing to do with Entrana, Runecrafting, or even Law runes at all...... LOL. This could take a while.

la la la Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Stop blaming it on the GE. Laws dropped long before the GE was introduced, and even if it had not been, there would still be exactly the same supply today. More players came, and the GE was introduced... that doesn't mean the GE has a relation to more players coming and flooding the law market.
