The duel arena is like a casino. (And I love it.) Apart from the savvy ones, what you're seeing are just first-time gamblers getting dazzled by all the wealth they could possibly accumulate without really considering that they'd lose their own. The smarter ones quit while they're ahead and take their winnings to the bank. The luckier ones just keep going.

Meanwhile the rest of us are sitting at the horse races laughing while we put all our money on the single horse we didn't sedate before the race.

Plenty of people hardly have a problem with rigging things to work to their advantage as long as the poor sucker being fleeced remains willing.

The Runescape economy is going under a huge change, and I imagine there will be a number of big shifts in a short time span. Making money in Runescape now seems to be centered more about gold and items changing hands than ever before. People focus less on gathering resources, collecting items for trade, and more about swindling their fellow player out of their money and items in one way or another without really putting anything back into the system. Reminds me of Wall Street.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I'm obsessed with Dungeoneering right now. On the one hand I don't have to deal with all the haggling and trading. On the other hand I'm not making any money because I'm not dealing with said haggling and trading.

 

Hm. Whatever. If someone can find a way to buy me a Hexhunter I'll be happy.

Same here really hehe. Focused on solely fishing and Dungeoneering at the moment and not making any money at all. Worried if I should atleast attempt to make some cash just in case.

I started dungeoneering yesterday because I feel the proper game is currently broken. Might as well play the "skill minigame" instead.

 

Just doing solos at med because can't find any decent teams for my noob level.

Been having fun with all this. I even saved the life someone level 136. We were in Clan Wars free-for-all dangerous, and I was sitting in the safe zone enjoying the blood shed. Then I noticed a mage come from the deeper part of the arena, and froze this level 136 1 square from the safe zone. He was about to die, so I did I knew I had to do. I left the safe zone, started attacking the mage. The mage was forced to start attacking me, and the 136 got away. Boy, that mage sure was mad! :thumbsup:

After the free trade update, which allows you to place an offer on the Grand Exchange at any price that you wish, some of the guide prices have been changing more drastically than they were intended to. For example, the blue partyhat has gone up in price from around 700mil to over 1 billion in two updates.

 

Whilst some prices will need to adjust to move from old prices to new ones, these rapid movements occurred due to a calculation error and so don't represent reliable values. We have fixed the calculation, and from tomorrow, the prices should update as expected. The next price update may however be affected to some extent. This is only expected to affect items that are traded in lower volumes.

 

Any prices that have been affected by this, we will try to return the guide price to its expected value today and tomorrow.

 

We know this affects some discontinued items such as the blue partyhat. If you would like to post below, on this thread, any other items which you are concerned about having made a price change of >5% per day over the last two days, we will try to check them.

Oops.

Good thing I don't own any kind of rare.

- Will the update have any bugs?

 

- Lol!

I have a theory that when that was said, the update was put under an eternal "Jinx". :P

Who ever is merchanting high valued p hats is raking in loads of profit. Such as the guy on the Pictures thread. He's flipping P hats like crazy.

You can get additional exp from using Jennica's Ring on the Spirit Portals (50% of the previous exp). I assume if you've not claimed this yet you'll get the original exp plus the additional.

 

The amount of additional exp you get is:

 

Chaos Temple: 2500 Prayer exp

Summer's Farm: 2500 Farming exp

Castle Ruins East of Demonic Ruins: 2500 Smithing exp

Dark Warrior's Fortress: 5000 Defence exp

Ruins (West): 5000 Farming exp

Forgotten Cemetery: 5000 Prayer exp

Rogue's Castle: 5000 Thieving exp

Axe Hut: 3750 Attack exp

 

Every little helps...

 

Ok, my ring isn't working anymore, I can't get into any portal, just a "nothing interesting happens" message. :s

Can't wait to see what the ashes update will bring. If it brings an actually working update to prayer training that'd be awesome. Just the thought of all the ash being dropped now...Being worth something!

You can't just "use" the ring on the portal, though. You wearing the ring and then using the "operate" right-click option?

yeah, if tormented demons' ashes are worth anything, i might have to learn how to use a yak there

Even if the ashes are 15k each, that's only 600k an hour at max, which might not be worth the killing speed you are giving up (not using steel titan).

Also Tormented demons don't exclusivly drop the high end ash. Could make abbysal demons with yak quite a bit more profitable though.

good call

i guess it won't be worth it to loot td ashes.

I'm the same at the minute, but with Mining instead of Dungeoneering. I'll make some money selling the ores once the prices have settled as I have no interest in merchanting at the minute at all.

What i have noticed since this update:

 

-alot of scammers

-alot of beggars

-good time for skillers that buys supplies

-bad time for those that sells supplies

 

i stocked alot of supplies for incredibly cheap fo future purposes...tt items also occasionally sells super cheap like animal staffs i got from 40k+ from ge

 

i also noticed new entertaining type started atleast in f2p...w1 varrock bank basement seems to be now gambling casino where ppl gathering to gamble dice games lol

 

scammers are the ones that earning tons after ft...all those celeb cake sellers and such

sadly i was witnessing successfully scamming today and my friend was the victim...scamming style was "show your inventory and get free rune bars" and scammer managed to get over 50mill from my friend.

 

ppl are just simply too used to old "safe" system where such things would not happen...

 

some good things also i seen recently...many ppl doing drop parties and occasionally i found myself middle of them picking up dragon stuff or something.

also some random guys been giving out wealth...my friend got over 100mil cash from random guy in w1 today in example...being in right place at right time seems to be profitable.

 

honestly i would still go back to old style with limited trades.

It's funny when free trade comes out everyone has been "hacked", and all that... How did your friend get scammed by showing his inventory?

 

I myself gave 500k to some guy dancing, but that was just because I was happy free trade was back! :thumbup:

 

Thanks,
