The Runescape Economy! (Finished)

Featured Replies

Lots of people have been complaining about prices in Runescape. "How comes Santa's and stuff keeps on raising?" or "How comes my full Guthan drops in price?"... It's one of the many questions that I'll try to explain in my Runescape Economy-Guide!

 

 

 

If their are other questions, just post.

 

 

 

All prices changes. These are chosen by the question and amount of the items.

 

The amount is how many of the items their are in whole Runescape.

 

The question is how many people want a certain item.

 

When their is much question but less amount, prices will raise.

 

When their is a big amount of an item but less question, prices will drop.

 

 

 

The Runescape Economy Guide

 

 

 

 

 

Holiday Items + Rare Items

 

This includes:

 

- Christmas Crackers: Only dropped for 1 day.

 

- Party Hats: Came out of Cracker.

 

- Halloween Mask: Only dropped for 1 day.

 

- Santa Hat: Only dropped for 1 day.

 

- Eatser Eggs: only dropped for 1 day.

 

- Pumkins: Only dropped for 1 day.

 

- Half Jug of wine: Can't get it anymore.

 

- Disk of Returning: Can't get it anymore.

 

 

 

You can't get these items anymore, so they are cosidered as rare.

 

The Party Hats, Halloween Masks and Santa Hats are worth the most.

 

Their Price keeps on raising, cause every day they are less and less of these items.

 

NOTE: Their prices can change fast. When their are mass bans, their prices will raise enormous!

 

 

 

Barrows + Gods

 

These armors all drop!

 

Not because their is less question about it, but just because their keep getting more and more! So to get rid of them, you have to lower your price.

 

The same goes for (g) and (t) armor.

 

As everything goes now, the prices of all this armor will stay the same.

 

However, since the new Traisure Trails the prices of (t), (g) and God-armors dropped.

 

Barrows stays +/- the same.This might drop a little bit, or will drop more when their comes out another barrow brother-sister.

 

 

 

Armor

 

All Dragon-Items drop in price. This also because their are getting more and more.

 

However: Chain will almost be constant because it's so hard to get! But it will keep on dropping, very slowly...

 

The Dragon Sq shield is something else. This can drop quite fast. However it is quite hard to get, their are a lot of it.

 

Price is down also because of the quest. By the time this guide was written the Sq stands 2.5 mill.

 

This can drop but will stay pretty much this high because you have to pay 750k for half of the shield.

 

Same goes for the Dragon Medium Helm. This will keeps on dropping.

 

 

 

Some Weapons

 

Rune and Dragon Weapons keep the same. Cause Rune is the highest on f2p, so their keeps on getting more and more question.

 

Dragon keeps the same because of the shop-price.

 

Abyssal Whip and Dragon Axe and Dragon 2H (and Dragon Pickaxe in the future).

 

This items are very high of price when they were released! However, their keep getting more, so the prices will drop. Their is NO shop price.

 

 

 

The same price

 

Following items keep the same in price:

 

-Rune Armor: Highest in f2p, and more people get 40 Defense.

 

-Coal and Ores: Maybe they raise in price, but normally these keep the same. Just because everybody needs them and are easy to get.

 

-Yews and other Logs: Same as Ores and Coal.

 

-2Nd Ingredients: Same as above.

 

- Essences and Runes: These keep the same but are cheaper in F2P-worlds. However, when you buy in large stacks, the price of these will drop enourmous!

 

 

 

F2P and P2P

 

Their are much differences in prices between F2P and P2P!

 

Mostly P2P is more expensive.

 

A Rune Essences in F2p costs 20 gp and in Members 40 gp. (However more and more people in F2P sell higher).

 

But for other items like God armors (G) en (T) armors, memebrs is cheaper.

 

 

 

This is the Economy guide.

 

 

 

Some notes:

 

- Buy Santa, ... as soon as possible. Price raises!

 

- Wait a moment before you buy a Barrow-Armor: Price might drop!

 

- Barrows and God Armor won't keep on dropping. They keep their stats and originallity.

 

- Don't buy a weapon as soon as it comes out. Prices will certainly drop!

 

- Rares are the most important thing in the Economy! Half of all the money in whole Runescape is because of the Rares! Rares make Runescape fun! We really need them, why else would Jagex make a seperate Forum for it?

 

 

 

Good Luck :)

All rares should be deleted from the game, they just defeat the object of the entire game, you find something on the floor, 3 years later you have millions of gp, to me that is pointless. Expensive items should be for those that work hard, not noobs that pick things up off the floor.

 

 

 

But i suppose it is an accurate account of why pointless items are so expensive.

No offense but this is horrible and pointless. Not only that, but every peice of information you've given is wrong or otherwise blatently obvious.

 

 

 

0/10

 

 

 

Good effort though.

Um... why exactly do they defeat the point of the game?

 

 

 

Last time I checked, the point of Runescape was to have fun. Rares are just in the game to have fun and to spice it up a bit. If you didn't happen to be around when they were dropped... well, I don't see that as terribly bad.

 

 

 

Why delete them? Some people enjoy them and enjoy trading them. The only reason that is even a reason at all to get rid of them is because, by definition, not everyone has a rare...

 

 

 

And that's hardly a reason. If people want to have rares, let them. But those of us who don't might as well keep on having a good time or save up to buy rares if we feel the need. There's no need to encroach on other people's fun for no reason.

the reason rare prices go up is cuz, you cant get them anymore and everyday and phat is lost, at least, for highlvling or dieing

Rares are not point less. It keeps players long term to try and get the money. The only reason you say this is because you weren't around that time and are jelous of the people that have money.

I will shoot down any one with my bitting wit, and sarcasm!

What POSSIBLE reason would someone have to make a fake like that?Does he profit from faking a picture like that? Does it help him at all?Jesus Christ, stop being so suspicious. This is Tip.it for God's sake, not RuneHQ. -_-

Why are you people actually arguing with the idiot that ranted about rares being pointless? Its obvious that hes angry only because he cant afford any rares or find out how to gain GP. I personally think that rares are an extremely important part of the game and without these items, runescape would be alot more DULL!

Because I have an otherwise unvented anger towards letting people just say stuff unresputedly.

 

 

 

That happened too long during the United States election in 2004, and so people started to believe it. I won't get into political specifics here, but I believe now that when someone says something you disagree with you should say otherwise.

this seems a little short. but it looks like common sense. but good job. interesting

Actually the price of rune items weights 95% on the price of rune ore which doesn't have a stable price at all.

Umm i've played for 4 and a half years...I was there when they dropped party hats etc, and I have plenty of money, I just don't think items like paper hats should be worth so much.

 

 

 

jealous are we?

 

 

 

good guide, people like striker should take a note of it.

 

 

 

Why should I take note of a guide, when i don't buy rare items..

  • Author

People who don't like rares are just people who can't afford one and are to lazy to get one!

 

Btw, the one who said 0/10, tell me, what's so wrong about it.

 

I guess all info I give is right...

im sorry but the general consensus is that this guide tells us nothing. people know all of this already. anyone who doesnt know this, doesnt need the information anyway. some of the information is inacurate and badly sourced.

 

 

your grammar is appaling for someone claiming to write a guide on such a vast topic. Speaking of the topics size your guide barely skims the surface.

 

I dont know but im guessing you fancy yourself as a merchant but dont really have a patch on he wealth of the so-called pros.

 

personally i would like to see such a guide produced as a colabberation between great merchanters years of knowledge. my hat goes off to people like duke freedom and r2pleasant. i read their guides and they are rich in information. DF has 3 years of accurate information, graphs, cahrts and the like. r2p must have a degree in economics because of his in depth talking. compared to them you are an amateur trying to claim a slice of recognition!

 

 

 

huff!

YOU MONGOOSE!

 

 

If I were a woman, I'd ask you to have my children.

THANK YOU!! Finally someone has made an adequate post explaining Runescape's economy! Can you or someone else make a link to this thread that i can put in my siggy?
