i have quite a few ranarrs in my bank from farming runs. i want to know if herb prices will crash or raise after free trade comes back ?

 

also, i know that currently you can make good profit from cleaning grimy herbs and selling the clean herbs, but after free trade will grimy herbs still be worth less than their clean countreparts?

 

thanks for the answers!!!

We are not psychic, its near impossible to say.

 

Herb farming enmass and getting herbs from mtk were never major factors whenf ree trade was around before.

Plus all the new epic potions were not around.

 

Odds are with the ge remaining and tracking average trade value theres not alot of reason for herbs to change price much at all; despite what people seem to think there is no economic reason for most items to chnage at all.

Pk gear will face a boon.

Odds are food will return to a state where cooked costs more than raw

And ge guide values of rares will become real as junk trading vanishes.

Runes might go up a bit due to rc pkers.

 

Aside from that there isn't muhc, if any, reason for most item values to change.

I think the prices of herbs will not experience any significant changes. Though i've noticed a few herbs such as lantadyme, kwuarm, avantoe, ranarr and irit have been experiencing slight decline in price since their last spike around august/september 2010 (the last bonus xp weekend?).

They will go up, if anything. Pot prices and herbs are obviously proportionate in price flucuations.
