Hounded Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 They alch longs, as they are profitable (unless you pay high prices for all materials). Longs alch for 1536. Shorts are 768... therefore... not profitable. In almost complete retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaejer Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 They can do many things. -They could buy them for 1k and try to resell for 1.1k and make a nice little profit through merchanting. -They could buy the logs and strings, make a bow and sell it to people to make a little profit and exp. -They could buy the logs and make a bow then alc it with nats they bought/made to keep it about even while getting fletching and magic exp.

Outsanity Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 They alch longs, as they are profitable (unless you pay high prices for all materials). Longs alch for 1536. Shorts are 768... therefore... not profitable. Shorts alch for 960, actually... ...Anyways. If you buy the materials for the following prices, you'll get not only a little bit of profit, but lots of feltching and magic experience in the process: Magic Logs for 1,000 Gp. Bowstrings for 150-200 Gp each. Natures for 300 Gp each. Total Cost for Materials: 1,450-1,500 Gp. Alching Price: 1,536 Total Profit: 36-86 Gp per bow. So yes...they are profitable...though people don't really do it for the cash...they do it for the experience. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deangut Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Been a member a long time? You don't get out much do you? Alc'n is the way to get your Mage XP up and since you break even and or make money... your paying yourself for xp... Better then spending 300 per law or Soul rune (Splashin Stun) So it's good xp that pays for itself and get out from under the tree...explore RS more bud @ - Come Join SoDB in Some GWD and other Slaying! - @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
