The logs are decent gp/xp for firemaking.Not sure about the bows. Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

KISS Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Maple_longbow_(u) * This item used to be regarded as junk before the Personalised Shops update in September 2009 which made the price crash from 140 gp each to a stable price of around 70 gp each making it a good item to cast High Level Alchemy on. * This item can be invested in the minigame Mobilising armies. Each piece is exchanged for 17 investment credits * Stringing this item and selling it in the Grand Exchange makes around 50 gp or more profit each so it is a good way to make money by fletching before level 70 Fletching when you can cut and string Yew Longbows. I hope people grow up to become less lazy. Defining Rune Pure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidsquash Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 If you bought junk off ge for lowest price then used as junk for mid price wouldn't you be profiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm if someone buys junk is it still to be considered junk.... or does it actually have a real value attached to it now. No, that's the point, it has no value, and you just spent money buying it. If you bought junk off ge for lowest price then used as junk for mid price wouldn't you be profiting? There are so many people dumping millions of junk items for lowest price, that you would never be able to sell for med. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides, if it isn't, the difference is usually only 2-3 coins for junk items. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought junk off ge for lowest price then used as junk for mid price wouldn't you be profiting? There are so many people dumping millions of junk items for lowest price, that you would never be able to sell for med.But a junk trade uses the GE-mid value to determine the trade limitations, so, you would make x gp per bow, where x=GE mid - GE low price.It would decrease effectiveness of junk trading, but yes, you could make a profit doing that, especially if you used the junk for lending. In regards to usefulness for high alching, I'll break it down. Each bow, according to current GE low price, can be bought for 95 gp. Each bow alchs for 192 coins. 192-95=97 A nature rune costs 239 at GE mid. 239-97=142. Using this method at current prices, you lose 142 gp per cast, a relatively low value compared to some other options for high alching, such as yew longs, which entail a cost of 168 gp per cast. I'm not up to date on the common items currently used to train magic through high alching, however, so I can't offer an opinion regarding whether the 142 is low or not. Also, the wiki article says maple longs(u) had stabalized at 70 for a while, meaning that the cost of the cast using current prices of nature runes would have been only 117.

Youmu Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Maple Logs: FiremakingMaple Longs (u): Mobilising Armies As far as I know. Otherwise, why would an idiot go ahead and buy a maple longbow for training?
