Miner_I Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 With the current value of all rares being nothing (or in some cases a few gps) in the general store, I have often wondered what runescape would be like if this would be changed to say 1 Million gp for each rare (or perhaps another price). Of course nobody would sell for that price but it would keep most people from losing their phat, mask, santa, or other rare if they died. Just wondering your opinion; I'm not sure I would like this personally but I can see it as a possible update in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Don't really see a...point? No-one's going to sell a rare to a store anyway. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchainmail Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 actually, that's a great idea, and it should be expanded to whips, etc. Items whose street value is dramatically higher than their shop value. This encourages more use of these items in riskier situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XerenereX Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Shop price, yes, I agree that it's being badly paraphrased in the general store. That's the big price for much loss: Merchanters and PKers cherrypick one rares-- or wilfully misconstrue it -- and they're off to the wilderness. I'm sure I've done this plenty of times myself, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1packer Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 They were meant to be fun, so therefore Jagex is not going to increase the proce that they feel they are worth, Jagex made them worth 1gp, if you want to risk dieing and losing one that is your own choice.

Toxicologist Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 JAGeX never intended holiday items to be rares, so neither should they support them. Why do you resist? My experiments are only helping humanity push the boundaries of the Art of Toxicology... you should be proud to be one of my victims. ~Toxicologist~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microtosh Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 jagex is neutral on this issue. it is neither against or for rares so that's a thing we gotta keep in mind. and if we actually increase the prices at which you sell ur rares to the general store, i believe the rate at which the prices of rares rises will slow down ... so how much do you think the price should be set to? 200 mill for a blue phat? but what when the phat reaches 300? shld it be raised to 300 too?

Jimmyh7 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 But where would all the level 3's get their rares from if not the ground? Drop trades from mains? Skills? Merchanting? Hah, don't make me laugh... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bantam222 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 i think most of you guys are mis-understanding his point he wants the price of phats and stuff to be raised to like *only* 200k. This way, no one woud bother selling them for the money, but people could ware them when training skills such as woodcutting and mining, and if they died the rare would be saved as one of your 3 items.

Profins Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 It just WON'T happen. All P'hats, H'masks, Santas, Yo-Yo's, Chickens (etc) goes under discontinued items. If they'll start changing it for "rares", it'll change for "untradeable rares". And what will happen? Everyone will start alching Chickens/Scarfs/Marionetes/Easter Rings (etc) in Draynor Village and get mils.. Is thats what you want? If yes.. Get a life.. :$ Just don't take your "rares" in dangerous places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctiz Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think Jagex should allow shops to buy each rare for around 50+m of it's current price now and just have the shop restock less than a split second before being shown. This would be better because in around 5 years, there won't be as many rares left, so phat sets would be 500+ billion? If you do not sell the rares in a week, it would just *melt* and disappear like the chocolate eggs. No, there would not be a party hat dust... I mean rares as in tradeable items. Also, having an increase in the economy would be better than having a massive increase in economy due to rares. Rsn-Arctiqz 83/90 attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMART... lets inflate everything and put billions more gold into it, what would soak up that gold? yews would be like 5k per yew and [cabbage]... stuff would just not be worth it, way too much gold would be put into the game.... if anything, they should make more rares or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikraz66 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 what if for a limited time, jagex let a few more rares into the game, but not for noobs. for example, for one week only, everyone who beats the tzha'ar fight caves (while wearing a fire cape so they cant get it their first time) gets a christmas cracker. This kind of thing would lower the rare price, but not by much Proud owner of a Quest cape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
