Ned Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 There's definitely a weird trend going, but I think it'll even out eventually as usual (Every shortage leads to a surplus, every surplus leads to a shortage etc). Super stat restores are at 20k each, lovely :lol: Want to help the Tip.It Crew? Visit the Website Updates & Corrections forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super stat restores are at 20k each, lovely :lol: Lol, I use normal restore pots + p pots for my business. You can drink 4 brew doses per normal restore pot, but only 3 max with super restore, so it saves enough space to have a p pot there instead of a super restore.

Danqazmlp Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 The resource economy (when not being manipulated) usually revolves in a very slow and often year long cycle. Resources dry up, price rises due to demand.People see higher prices so decide to gather said resource, price drops. Want to be my friend?

Jimmyw3000 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Unlimited food stock got taken out, and therein lies the problem. It wont go back down as far as i can see, most food will rise and stay there/fluctuate around that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1230abcz Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Doesn't explain the prices of sharks and stuff you can't get in shops. I'm just going to assume it because of PvP and inflation. Pizzas are going through the roof though. Pineapple pizzas used to be my favorite source of food... That's off my list now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Ohi I don't need to fish anymore for money because I can just do nothing and 76k and get a lot more money than ever before. :thumbdown: One of the reasons prices are high, that, and merchants. :thumbdown: RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mario_sunny Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Before I clicked on the topic I read the title and wondered, what if this were posted in Off Topic? Anyway it's a serious issue. As I don't much play runescape any more, I don't really have any say on it. By popular demand, this signature is back- however I currently do not have a blog up at the moment and if I did I wouldn't update it. Sorry, the sig links to nowhere :( .

1wngedangel Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I haven't bought food in all 8 years of playing :Pfishing ftw I'd imagine the shortage on bunyips is because of the expected update? certainly seems like a new dungeon or something equally awesome.

Shovelmeface Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 looks like i chose the right time to train cooking then ;-) Correct!

langer Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I knew keeping my 3K rocktails was a good idea... I also expect to sell all my monks; sharks and swordies for a nice price next week end.

hohto Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Doesn't explain the prices of sharks and stuff you can't get in shops. I'm just going to assume it because of PvP and inflation. Pizzas are going through the roof though. Pineapple pizzas used to be my favorite source of food... That's off my list now. There's a nice cross elasticity of demand with sharks and these pizzas for example. If you can't buy pizzas anymore (due limited supply or price) you have to find alternatives: this increases the fish demand and thus rises the prices. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Oh, I wonder if it has anything to do with 76k'ing and flushing so much money into the game, nar It couldnt be. [/sarcasm] Naturally thanks to these clowns there's TOO much money and the price of everything is being forced up. probably a good thing I stocked up on everything during those 2 days they all crashed.

[/sarcasm] Naturally thanks to these clowns there's TOO much money and the price of everything is being forced up. probably a good thing I stocked up on everything during those 2 days they all crashed. It's a combination of less players skilling and more cash available... it has always been about supply and demand more than inflation.

JoeDaStudd Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Its a good time to switch to slightly cheaper, but uncommon food sources.Curry and the high level kebabs (the camel ones) are my new favorites; 19 hp and can be brought for about 1.3k vs 1.5k for sharks.I was thinking about selling my guthans, but the more I look at food costs the more I'm temped to just keep guthans and work to 88 summoning (its always been a goal, but its looking cheaper and cheaper for the long term). The trouble is too many people want items now and very few want to work for them or create them.

Master_Smither Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Carl brought up a good point...people who used to have to fish, or woodcut, or mine for money now can easily just got 76k for it. Although that isn't the issue behind why they are unbuyable, it certainly is a major one. Speculation for the new update, the shop changes, less people playing due to school, and 76king, all play a major role in why they are hard to buy. As Dan said it's a cycle, but it usually isn't like this. Either wait or go fishing is all I can say. I knew keeping my 3K rocktails was a good idea... I also expect to sell all my monks; sharks and swordies for a nice price next week end. I also can't believe all the people that saw that twitter update and didn't think of going fishing instead of trying to compete on the G.E.... Investing 200M in unicorns, brews, sharks, and bunyips is just so much easier though...
