Ustilts Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 So this is basicly purely informational for all yall fellow runescapers out there. I bought 100 Half keys, and recorded all the drops with some interesting results. The facts: I paid 71650 per keyMade about 788k total profit over what I paidTook about 2 hours, so thats 380k an hour, not bad for not doing anything really.Made about 7.8k per key, and thats at 71.6k per key, so if your planning on doing this, if you buy your keys for less than 80k each, you'll come out even, the less under 80k, the more your profit in the long term. Runes always come as: 10 laws, 10 chaos, 10 cosmic, 10 death, 10 natures, 50 earth, 50 fire, 50 water, 50 air, 50 body, 50 mind.The loot: 2 Diamonds, 2 Rubys: 9100 Coal: 7150 Iron: 115 Raw Swordfish, 1k coins: 9Spinach roll, 2k coins: 30Half key, 750gp: 2Nothing: 7Runes: 7Addy sq: 33 Rune bars: 11 Rune skirt:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy_Bunyip Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 it seems prices have fluctuated here is wikia's thread no it: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_chest wikia claims average loss though, and a sample size of 1750 keyswho knows what it actually is though, but i still wouldn't invest in it.

Utopia Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Doesn't seem worthwhile for so little gain and a potential loss. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepijn777 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Doesn't seem worthwhile for so little gain and a potential loss. :-|I must agree. There are lots of other ways to make more money AND gain xp while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuall Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I bought 100 Half keys Do you mean you bought 100 half keys? or 100 crystal keys. give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ustilts Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 I bought 100 tooth, and 100 loop half keys, sorry, and i was testing this theory because on my lvl 3 skiller, its a great, fast way to make money while merching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fishing at the moment just give me one sec...OH GOD IT CAN'T BE UNSEEN!So off topic, but I can't stop laughing, lol. On Topic:Either I seem to have better luck or something, but only two out of a hundred keys you got another half-key piece? I've gotten half-key pieces frequently, at least every three keys. And of course it isn't a good money-making technique, but you can do it at level three with no skills at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonewall337 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Interesting, but I'd be more interested in opening various implings, eg nature and magpie mainly.

lordkafei Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I've done similar studies with ogre coffin keys & moleskins. Statistics are fun. =D> And how was the results? I observe a roughly 2/3 chance of getting a bone when using a key. I would rather not divulge the ratio of each particular bone; merching undervalued keys is one of the ways I make money. The last time I checked moleskins, they were clear money losers. I should buy a thousand or so and test the spreads again for shiggles. EDIT - OK, just ran 400 skins and did a P/L spreadsheet. I ended up making about 521gp per nest, which is kinda lousy considering how time intensive it is. If you high alch the 400 white lily seeds (w/ Falador shield 3), it goes up to 1,271gp per nest. 300 nests had seeds, 78 had rings, 22 were empty (75%, 20%, 5% roughly). I also got 1 spirit seed which technically has no value, but realistically is quite rare. Slow, but still, it's a way to make money. Interesting, but I'd be more interested in opening various implings, eg nature and magpie mainly. I've only tested a few of the types of jars and have almost always been disappointed in the returns.

Rudyaard Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I made a little test concerning the coffin keys. With 100 keys (max buyable on ge per 4 hours) I got: 1 Ourg bone11 Fayrg Bones49 Zogre bones12 Raurg bones And a buttload of crap worth less than 250 gp. in total I profited ~11k on this It's a small sample size, I know, but I'll do another run in 4 hours :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Sometimes this works, depending on the prices of the keys. [~Visit my Slayer Blog~] Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

12pure34 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Try Muddy Key if you want to have fun ;) I believe the guide-guy (with his 100 money making methods I don't know what) has investigated it. Quite good money as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyaard Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 however the best money (speaking keys) is sinister keys, approx 1.5m per hour if lucky with prices and done right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannas Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've tried this before and lost over 2 million just on 50 keys - it's pure luck. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
