How many items?

[la la la]

Oh, and Lalala, did you change my title? Because I meant for this to be a discussion on the amount of all items in the game not just merchanting items. Plus, that is not the article I remember but it was good none-the-less. It must not have been Duke Freedom but it's fine, thanks for finding that.

 

Pshh I only have power over the website and a select few subforums, so I couldn't have changed the title. You could pm a moderator and ask for it to be changed back. I'm thinking that "How many?" was too vague for a mod's liking.

Someone at the GE yesterday said that the leader of the Smokin' Mils merch clan is stuck with 1.2b ranarrs. :shock:

 

 

 

Yay for URL manipulation! (I think that's how you got to the "most traded items" page anyways...)

No, he had 1.2b in ranarrs. It was only a few hundred k of the actual item. The there is a link on the grand exchange section to the most traded item page... it isn't hard.

From being around when crackers were dropped and party hats gotten out of the crackers i can tell you that very very very very very very very very very few crackers from the orginal drop exist maybe 1 or 2 but less then 10. Back then everyone opened them not for the party hats but for the coal or rune gear or the others things the guy holding the cracker would get. The guy that got the cracker used on him got the party hat. Tons of people dropped them or sold them to general stores i was offered a set of all colors for 10k several weeks after they were dropped i like most people quickly said no way that would be a waste of money and bank space. (i kept my yellow p hat cause it looked like a golden crown) Back then bank space was very limited. But here is the problem some people kept the p hat and slowly as time went on new players never had the chance to get one and then the limited amount of them slowly caused the price to go up over time. Then the big dupe happened who knows how many p hats and crackers were created then. Maybe hundreds of crackers were put in at that time.(that didnt banned with the players actively doing the dupe) I remember at that time pink was the most expensive p hat at the time and it was being sold by the dupers/dupers friends for 100k each (cheap at the time for a pink hat as the were normaly sold at 500k or more) Stupid me at the time didnt buy one becuase i knew they were ill got and thought i would be banned if i bought one so i stayed clear. Anyway sorry for my wall of text my best guess is today there are maybe 50 crackers and maybe 5000 party hats.

I'd say the amount of coal is pretty low, because its used so much for smithing.

 

but you can't deny that their is much more coming into the game than is being used as most people save it up for a while before using it.

 

How correct you are. Damn, thinking about all that coal makes my head hurt #-o.

 

I wonder what would happen if a bunch of rich snobs bought every party hat, then dropped them in some random place and waited for them to dissapear :o

The list is still there, a link for it and most valuable is on the main GE database page.

 

 

 

Can you give the link for the most valuable items? I don't see it on the GE page :wall:

[blacks123]

infinite chisels,tinderboxes,pots etc. cause the store restocks :thumbsup:

This is a question which goes along the lines of 'where does the universe end', thinking about it makes your head ache.

 

 

 

Unlike your post proposes the amount of any items is not static (certainly not items like resources, tools etc. used daily) but rather dynamic, so the amount is impossible to determine. Determining the total amount of gp in the game is likewise, almost impossible.

CORRECTION IS IMPOSSIBLE...because every minute someone will be alching...so it's impossible.

Ahhh! Everyone is taking this to litterally! This was supposed to be a fun thread where people through out absurd assumptions as to how many items there are, not a leading into phylosophy!

 

Sure it is hard to guess the number of runes or feathers. But other items like GWD armours shouldn't be that hard. It astounds me that a clan could make something as abundant as iron ore doulble in price. Maybe there aren't as many items in the game as we beleive.

A clan made iron ore go up in price? :o

 

 

 

There are too many items to analyse, you could break them up into categories, for example:

 

 

 

-Numerous Items with infinite stock

 

-Numerous Items (for example feathers, logs, runes, etc.)

 

-Various, Middle-end Items (stuff that can be produced in large amounts)

 

-Various, Higher-End Items (stuff that is produced in small amounts, or gathered in low amounts like herbs in farming)

 

-Rare Items (things from boss drops, hard-to-get items and the like)

 

-Extremely Rare Items (these cannot be obtained by any conventional means, and can only be bought. Things like easter eggs, crackers, and phats)

 

 

 

Then you could assign each category a guessed amount, of course this is all speculation.

 

 

 

~Numerous Items with Infinite Stock~

 

 

 

Because the general store sells them in infinite amounts, they aren't traded on the ge in bulk (except tinderboxes :|). So we can't really give a solid estimation using the ge. We can just assume that their is about 1b+ of these items...

 

 

 

~Numerous Items~

 

 

 

These number in the millions, possibly billions. This is based on sales in ge. Things like cowhides, feathers, and runes are gathered/crafted every day, and as we can see the base elemental runes are the most popular. Free Players craft these for experience, so their is about 10m+ people making them, and many more millions been sold. That isn't counting the number people have stocked up.

 

 

 

~Various, Middle-End Items~

 

 

 

These are made in large amounts, possibly in the millions every day. Stuff like bows for fletching, junk items made from fletching, and more fletching :P. These are traded often, but don't have a large, stable price. So, this suggests that they aren't made as often as we think. Of course, we are just guessing here ;)

 

 

 

~Various, Higher-End Items~

 

 

 

These items include armour from smithing or rarer monster drops. Also includes herbs from monster drops and farming, like rannar's and snapdragons. These are traded lower than other items, because they are often used as magic training (high-alching addy platebodies) or herblore training (turning the herbs into potions with secondary ingredients). This also includes secondary potion ingredients (not all, just some). They're traded in the hundreds of thousands.

 

 

 

~Rare Items~

 

 

 

This is quite interesting. A lot of speculation will be involved here. Because people use coinshare in the gwd and other boss monsters, a lot of possible items are converted to coins. But, a fair few are also stocked and sold on the grand exchange, and people wear/smith the items dropped. So, we can say anywhere from thousands to hundreds of thousands.

 

 

 

~Extremely Rare Items~

 

 

 

These items cannot be obtained from any other souce than other players. There can be anywhere froun thousands to less than a hundred of these items. Such items include partyhats, christmas crackers and pumpkins/easter eggs/h'ween masks/santa hats. If you can buy just one of the item and alter the price, than you can guarantee there are less than a hundred of them left.

 

 

 

I've left out some items, but you can put a majority of items into these categories. Just my 10 cents :)

Well, Natures (and pure essence) can be found out pretty easily...

 

 

 

Take the current number of 99 RC'ers (which is 2,372)

 

Let's assume they all did Natures from 91 (from the exact start of 91 - which is 5,902,831, without no EXP boosts, such as Assist System, Penguin Hunts and Genie Lamps), it would take them 792,400 Nature Runes.

 

That means it would take 1,879,572,800 Pure Essence for all current Runecrafters. Then, you double that amount to get the Nature Runes...

 

 

 

3,759,145,600 Nature Runes were crafted from the 2K Runecrafters, and that doesn't include the Nats they craft after and before 99.

 

 

 

:shock:

Not to mention all those nats from monster drops/randoms/etc...

Yup, prolly about 5-10,000,000,000 nats in circulation... prolly even more :shock:

Can you give the link for the most valuable items? I don't see it on the GE page :wall:

 

 

 

Sure thing, sorry for the delay, The directions to the page can be found right here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

See that nice MS paint arrow pointing to "View trade info"? click on "View trade info" next time you visit the GE page. ;)

 

The link i posted before was to the actual page so it wasn't URL manipulation or anything. Jagex added the lists again when they brought back the 30-day average graphs.

but since Nats are constantly being used up (alching, other spells), there might not be 'that' many nats in circulation.

There'd be heaps, but yeah they do get used up a lot :?
