silralisk Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 i have been noticing this for quite a while. Ashes cost around 80-90gp each in GE. As of now, ashes cost 91gp(was 86gp yesterday), the same cost as gold bars in GE(how i wish that is true in the real world).I have been convincing many "need 5k please" noobs in f2p worlds to pick up ashes and sell to GE while training for my fm cape but few listened. Do ashes have any economic use in rs at all? I quitted for 2 years and returned recently so new updates might have shot the prices of ashes up. can someone confirm this?

Sephy_ Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Ashes can be used to make serum 207, a cheap alternative to raise herblore. Can't think of any other uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndJusticeForOne Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 That gives me an idea... would it be possible to pick up your old ashes from your previous line of fires without being slowed down significantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegelstad Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I guess no, it would make you loose atleast 20-40% efficieny and you make make money faster in that time.

Demario Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 That's Runescape economy, they don't plan when they release new stuff/new update. better to save everything even normal bones, someday they will be same as dragon bones or even better.. :D My vengeance is everything....everything must come to an end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebird308 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Besides making serums, people also need them for feeding their pet Phoenixes. Assuming they're lucky enough to both have the Summoning level and find an egg, that is. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troacctid Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Gold bars are supplied in vastly higher quantities that they're demanded. Most of the people who make them are willing to accept the loss; in fact, the price of gold bars is too high now. Smelters would sell them for much less than 90 gp. In contrast, few people supply ashes, and there is significant demand for the relatively cheap herblore experience you get from Serum 207. So it's only basic economic forces at work. I guess no, it would make you loose atleast 20-40% efficieny and you make make money faster in that time.Are you sure? If you FM backwards you have to run to the square each time so you might be able to pick them up?I do this. I make fires backwards anyway and I only pick up the ashes that I can reach without slowing down, so the only cost is the couple extra clicks to bank them.

Kata_Phfract__the_slayer Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 zezima once sayd that super heating gold is fast smithing xp (or so the story goes). however it got started, it got started. and now hordes of players are super heating gold.now gold ore is probably 150 or so gp higher then it would be, and gold bars are about 300 to 400 gp lowwer in price then thay should be. its amazing the efects one small action can do. as for ash, i can never think of any reson for it to be as exspensive as it is. at the very minimum, no one sells it.

Assuming they're lucky enough to both have the Summoning level and find an egg, that is. I heard people can get the egg below the required summoning level? They said that on RSOF, but I'm not sure. Just because one has the egg, doesn't mean one can hatch it. :wink: I got my godbird eggs long before I leveled up enough for me to be able to hatch them. Same for a vulture egg, which I actually got before them. (I don't have it anymore. It was wasting bank space and I was somewhere way below even 40 Summoning, let alone being anywhere near whatever level I need. So I dropped it.)

Three things happened to make gold near worthless.One, gold smithing guantlet bonus started to be applied to the superheat spell. Two, you can mine and cast superheat at the same time. Three, living rock caverns came out with concentrated afkable gold ores. The only way gold is going to go back up is if they add some jewelry options that are economical and fast for crafting training.
