Wiz Robes (g) and Green DHide (g) prices. Please explain.

[Eyrelex II]

Hello, i'm returning from a long hiatus (one that i didn't think i'd ever return from) and i'm currently trying to recover the items that i lost when i was hacked, these two sets being some of them, but when i was looking up the current prices for these items i was completely shocked. I remember buying these when they were first released for a fraction of the price they are going for now and that was when these were the best armor sets available for f2p for magic and ranged. Nowadays with mystic and blue dhide available i really don't understand why these are so high, i'm thinking now is probably not a good time to buy but should i expect the price to drop in the near future? Is there a reason why they have gone up? Change to the drop rates or something like that?

If I'm not wrong, they can be broken down using the new Invention skill for a material called Fortunate components. These are used to make a particularly expensive ring that lets the wearer potentially find a super rare and expensive drop, which is why (g) robes (and most other treasure trail items) hover around 600k now.

 

The treasure trail items which are also usable on F2P worlds tend to be a bit more expensive too, as F2P doesn't have as much customisation / rare equipment compared to P2P.

Oh that makes sense, so now they are in demand by p2p players as well so i guess the price probably won't be dropping any time soon unfortunately.

Yeah it's true Invention propped those sorts of items back up a bit recently, and then they retreated. But I'm pretty sure I remember wizard (g) robes (for example) being twice their current price years ago, and that was when the same amount of money was worth more thanks to the subsequent inflation.

 

Also there was a new ring added to the game (with a "Luck rework") which technically boosts the drop rate of treasure trail items, though I'm unsure how substantative that increase is in the economic scheme of things.

That's crazy considering what they are, i'm already having a hard enough time with the current price. I'm pretty sure both of these sets were under 1 mil when i got them when they were first released; full wiz (g) might've been roughly 1 mil or slightly less and full green dhide (g) might've even been under 500k...

Well, the prices don't really matter; F2P has its share of money-making opportunities.

 

At White Wolf Mountain, you can find Lv. 8 Adolescent White Wolves which drop Wolf Bones at a G.E. price of 1.1k per.

 

You can buy Arrow Shafts and Feathers for 12gp/40gp each respectively, and headless arrows have a G.E. price of 75gp currently <-- This is a very popular method, but you hit buy limits faster than you can fletch everything.

 

You can go to Taverley, in the small snow hunter area, and hunt Polar kebbits. Each gives 1 Polar Kebbit fur @ 3.5k G.E. price.

 

Heck, you can buy a bunch of bones, get a water staff, and cast Bones to Bananas. 1 nature rune and 2 earth runes to convert 26 bones into bananas for 1.2k profit per inventory (assuming you can buy/sell everything at G.E. price.)

Or you could even just go to Musa Point, fill your inventory with bananas, take the boat back to Port Sarim, deposit the bananas with the deposit box near Entrana monks, then rinse and repeat. Each inventory is worth 12k at G.E. prices.

 

Also you can buy 1k feathers from the Lumbridge fishing store and 1k more from Port Sarim fishing store every day. Costs 12k a day, worth 80k G.E., every day. It adds up.

 

 

PS: Nostalgia aside, Blue dragonhide (g) is available to F2P, so you could aim for that rather than the Green one. Unless you really just want to get it back for sentimental purposes, which is fine too.

Dark mystic and Light mystic are F2P too, so you could get those rather than blue mystic and it's kinda like trimmed armor/robes, lol.

Wow thanks for all the tips i really needed some money making advice and i'll definitely give these a try.

 

Also about mystic and blue dhide, i'm aiming to get both of those too and i'll probably end up buying them first just cause they are better stat wise but like you said just for nostalgia reasons i still wanna get the wiz (g) and green dhide (g) sets as well once i can afford them
