vettro Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 So I was calculating potions I could make to get 85 herblore and I saw that making magic pots = 6.5 gp/xp. I wasn't paying much attention and rushed to the GE to put in my order of 5K clean lantadymes. They obviously bought instantly for less than med. But, now my offer for cactus isn't going through... Is cactus unbuyable? Am I wasting my time? What should I do now? I have almost 50M of a crashing item. Should I dumb or hang on to it and hope it comes back? Thanks for the help.

aspeeder Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I believe he means potato cacutus, which are not farmable. If lants goes back to historic levels it'll cost you about 6.25mil to hold on to them, so if you'll save at least that much making magic pots I'd hold on to them. If potato cactus are that hard to buy perhaps it's not worth the effort, try looking around on the RSOF to see if they are traded there. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Start farming cacti ;-) :wall: The gp per xp only has a meaning when the prices are stable- if you guy ingredients for max and sell potions for min, you'd likely paying 2 times as much as what the number says, so really, you'd first have to check out what those items buy/sell for before making a decision on what to make. If you really can't get the items, you can always sell the herbs for a small loss. Right now, magic potions are 19,8 gp/xp at ge prices. First to 99 Farming on 27.

vettro Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ok so. 9k for lantadyme, 1.6k for potato cactus = 10.6k - 9.4 for resale of magic potion = 800gp/172xp= 6ish gp/xp? Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettro Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Ok, now the potato cactus is buying max on GE. So.... what's the problem? Please tell me I'm not missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Price for a three dose, not a four. Looks like the pots have stabilized at least. Interactive dungeoneering floor mapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettro Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 OH MY GOSH. HAHAHAHAHA. I'm such an idiot! Where the *cabbage* did I think that I would make 4 dose pots. Closer to 20gp/xp. Wow. I'm such an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 20gp/xp is honestly not bad for herb considering the pots themselves are 172xp~ each. if you can actually resell them (which is looking likely), you'll still get some decently priced herb exp.

vettro Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 So I sold the herbs. What a fail. I guess I'm gonna go do something to make up that bloody money I just flushed down the can. Solid 3M loss in a day. I've mastered reverse merchanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I'm really pissed. Maybe I shouldn't have sold them in the first place. . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
