Does anyone have a rough Idea as to when the Torva platebody will fall to 130M? 3-4 Months? Thanks in advance!

 

Eventually, Torva along with Pernix and Virtus will become more affordable since people continue to milk Nex for those pieces.

Having a good 5-10 people team is guaranteed at least 1 unique piece of armor from what I heard. Don't forget that

updates brings more weapons/armors that could become a favor to hunting Nex more efficiently. Helm COULD be

atleast reach ~150m but the platebody.....nah.

 

5-10 people can get 2-5 kills per trip depending on gear and the droprate for any item is about 1/25-1/30. 4 out of the 10 pieces are useless, so Torva/Pernix is really only one piece for quite a few trips of 5-10 experienced people.

 

Right now the prices are so affordable because there are no buyers.

In 1-2 weeks I think they will be HIGHER than they are now, simply because everyone is scared to put money into items falling in price.

 

But the Nex hype has already died down. As much as we like to say there are a lot of high levels, the number of people with Overloads and the gear required for most teams (entailing a high Dungeoneering as well) is limiting. There are ample lootshare worlds available even in the middle of the day when Bandos, Corp, and TDs are packed. The number of new Nex drops is still limited.

 

I'd say invest in some cheap Nex drops now or in a day before they go back up if you've got the spare cash.

 

When I read this I made a quick calc in my head and came up with this.

 

Assume:

6 man team can get 6 kills an hour

drop rate of 1/20

 

=> 1 kill per person per hour.

=> 1 piece per person per 20 hours

 

At an average price of 400m/piece, this equates to 20m gp/hour. This is not even counting normal drops (left it out because 1 kill per person per hour is perhaps a bit too optimistic).

 

Now the question is, is this 20m/hour a reasonable number to achieve an equilibrum price, or will it attract more/less people to go nexing (driving the price up or down). I think that the number should be well over 10m for sure to keep people nexing (taking into account no charms/effigies/xp, diffiiculties of team forming vs. tds which have semi decent xp, good effigies and 3-5m cash per hour). So yeah, 20m should be about right I think. Perhaps more towards 15m, hard to estimate IMO.

Nex also costs a lot of money. I'm not totally sure on brew prices and such now but I think supplies run over 1m per hour per person, which is really going to cut into profits.

Those are some pretty optimistic numbers especially with today's prices. I'd say it's around 11-13m gp/hr right now.

 

But really there is enough demand for a lot of Nex items still to come.

My Bonus XP prediction: low rares will crash as people with i.e. Santas cash in to buy herb or whatever. High rares won't move much, since the players who have those have probably either finished whatever buyables they want or have enough cash on hand to get the supplies they need.

At least high rares could go up now. I assume merchants have been stocking up resources waiting for the bonus xp weekend announcement and are now selling them at a nice profit. They need to put all that cash into something.

More likely scenario: Phats crash as super rich buy out commodities. Lower rares then crash as nouveau riche liquidate to buy the commodities from the super rich. The super rich then take all the cash and buy back all p hats and lower rares at discounted prices, driving those prices back up.

Sold spectral @ 50m.Didn't use it once so what can I say, 5.5M made by just owning the shield for a few weeks.

 

You probably sold it to me LOL. I was buying 2 of them for 50m each. Flipped them for a profit in 5 minutes. They stopped working now though.

Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Torva helm in ge atm for 600m, hasn't sold yet. Waiting till tomorrow night at the latest, hoping it will go up. Ancient, Jett, Soma, and I agreed to leave it in at 600m overnight, so hopefully it makes a clean 150m split each.

People stock up Nex armour in anticipation of the next 'big' thing :-)

^ My brother just bought a platebody for 116M off the GE.

Range top and legs seem to be going for 80-90M for both pieces (from what I've seen on forums)

Haha I flipped to the last page and didn't see what you were responding to, for a second thought this was about Nex armors.

I lost like 8% of my total value overnight on stuff I bought overnight because of the bonus exp weekend.

 

Sucks but I guess I have to live with it :\. I wouldn't care if it was normal market fluctuations but I just feel crapped on by Jagex again.

 

What are masks and santas at?
