I plan to serve as a missionary for 2 years starting some time this year or early next year and as such, I will not be able to sign on to Runescape for 2 years. I plan to put most of my wealth into something that should go up over those 2 years. The question is what? For those of you who know me, this is the reason why I'm obsessed with Party Hats, they seem to be the items most likely to hold their value, if not go up over 2 years. I already know I'll be selling my Divine, SGS, GWD Armor, etc since they will very likely be obselete upon my return.

 

 

 

Rune, D Hide, and Barrows will be good enough as I catch up on 2 years of updates. Also, I'm not going into the MTC tomorrow or anything, I still have a few months or so I can play RS. I just thought I'd post this thread now and see what kind of responses I get. For reference, selling those items I mentioned at current prices would give me about an 830m cash pile, along with my White and Red Phat.

I suppose if it was myself I would just invest in rares that appeal to me. Then even if something happens and all rares become untradeable (lol) you would have the ones that you like. I can't really expand much on this. All items except rares will undoubtly fall in worth over the next 2 years unless some odd update causes them to rise. Just the same rares could fall in worth, but that is quite unlikely in comparison to all other items.

 

 

 

Then again, I would probably just keep it as a cash pile. :lol:

You could buy alot of santa hats keep the 2 phats you have. Santas will always go up in price near Chrismas and as new players join they will want a way to be in the Chrismas spirit and a santa hat is the only way for them to do it. Thats my 2 cents.

Since values of are very difficult to predict from day to day much less year to year, I would say that your best bet would be to invest in rares as no new rares are entering the game, they will always be rare. Over time rare becomes even more rare as people quit, die, get banned.

 

 

 

As a side note, I would fill your kingdom completely before you so that when you get back you can get the max out of your kingdom ;P Even with not building % back up I think you still might do alright :P

2 years is quite a long time. Especially for trying to pick an item to invest in. It could really go either way.

 

 

 

But for comparison you should check out the Zybez price guide as they have the most accurate records of prices pre-G.E.

 

 

 

But if you look at almost any item you can see that their prices as fell over the past 2 years despite their peaks.

Keep it in cash...830 mil is a lot on runescape. Better to know u have it then to fear the items crashing. Selling ur expensive non_rares is a good idea. Good luck

I would keep half in cash, keep the party hats, then spend the rest on santas. I would say that's about the safest bet.

I would just keep the cash because the non rare items will have dropped by then so you'll be able to buy more with the same cash
