muggiwhplar Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Just wondering if they'll be "crashing" in price anytime soon, or if they'll remain within the 4-5k price range. I heard some people claiming they'll "crash" down to as low as 2k for various reasons but I doubt that due to our current inflated economy and high demand for dragon bones now. I mainly ask cuz I know nothing about economics and was curious to hear your responses. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbydog95 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 In my opion they will have to crash eventually, people will get fed up with it eventually and not buy them and the demand will go down and some fake demand. These are just my opions, im not an expert or anything though. PSN: Skaterguy1224 Tactical Nukes - 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 No not in this current state of the economy. They will settle between 4-5k and I don't see them going out of that range unless another prayer update follow's or inflation is nerfed via pvp being fixed or a new skill being released that drains money from the economy.

010jonathan Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I don't see them crash either because there's not a big influx of dragon bones into the market. There are many rich pvp people and rich slayer or rc people etc who have the money to buy it. Every person to get 99 prayer needs ~50k dragon bones, which takes like over 200 hours (idk it's a guess) of work to get. Also, like 50% of the people who are collecting dragon bones, do this for themselves, so these bones don't end up in the market. The only reason I could see them crashing is Jagex releasing a new mehod, something like ectofying but even more xp or a non-bones-training way to level prayer. Otherwise, they'll stick to 4-5k ea, until jagex releases skill based prayers (not combat based) or mage and range based prayers (the piety, turmoil for range and mage, which they have announced to release some time - not soon though ) and then they'll skyrocket to a settled 5.5-6.5k ea I foresee. If I were you and I had the money, I'd just buy the bones when they're close to 4k ea and for the rest, just enjoy the prayers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merre Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm quite sure they'll crash in the coming months. I read this topic about Jagex working on taking out the merch clans.I heard they also took out the PvP 76k trick so that's also something that can't be abused anymore.If Jagex is capable of taking out the people who destroy the economy and caused the mass inflation the prices will recover I believe... And hope :) 2016 goals: all skills +30mil xp - Completed this goal 11th December 2016 2017 goals: get at least 3 more master capes (start xp: invention done@21st Jan, mining done@2nd April & ranged 76/104mil done@June 20th) & all skills +40mil xp (done 24th August) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIIB0BIIX Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 i dont see them dropping anytime soon, but i reckon they will fall back below a 3k range if u give it time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ts_Stormrage Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I actually see them going up further and further... So far, nothing has been done to increase supplies, demand stays roughly the same (although a few people will want to train it to use new curses), and more and more GP flows into the economy every day, meaning that on average, people have more to spend (and spending spreads the GP around)... All these factors combined cause many items to go up in price... The one reason why this does not seem to affect the Common Trade Index on the wiki pages is that Jagex seems to release very methodically update after update that is designed to boost supplies...Gold ore due to Concentrated Gold Ore being a popular new way of training mining...Vials of Water due to them being available in large quantity packs at shop price...Nature Runes increased also in supply when people had a chance to get more then 1 nature rune from a single ess... These are just a few examples... GP is not a wanted item, so buy into Dragon Bones now, because it is unlikely that Jagex will release a monster that drops dragon bones and is easier to kill then Green or Blue Dragons...

Prayer is fast exp, prayer is useful exp, therefore bones should remain stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 There has been a legitimate increase in demand. This is nothing to do with merchant clans. The initial turmoil (hehe) in the price seems to have subsided pretty quickly, and I think prices will remain stable from here on out unless another update changes something.
