Miscellania - will it stop inflation?

[Mr_BlinG6969]

As most of you know, inflation is a growing problem in runescape today. Recently Jagex changed the rewards from Miscellania Island in what I think is an attempt to stop inflation. So far, it looks like it will help.

 

 

 

My friends and I went to Miscellania with high hopes today. We all put in a 3mil+ investment into our citys with 100% approval rating. Some choosing mining, carpentry, flax, ect. Guess what? When we got our rewards, all of us had made profits! Some double the original investment of 75k per day!

 

 

 

My opinion here is, people will start using their kingdoms to recieve these materials which will cause lots of runescape money to go out of the economy. I would also like to note that all of the raw materials coming in from the kingdom aren't choice materials of alchers where most of the money in runescape comes into the economy.

 

 

 

So far, good work Jagex. In my opinion.

[wakka102]

so you did make a profit? what did you get from it?

 

 

 

If it is profitable it would be great :D

[SkiD_PL8]

He was saying he made a profit. The big deal however though is that if you need herbs instead of going and paying the inflated prices for them you can just go dump the money in your kingdom and get them cheaper. That in turn will lower the demand for the items which should lower the price from players.

[O0th3_m4ge00]

I highly doubt it. Maybe for a couple of weeks and then not no more.

[SkiD_PL8]

How do you figure that? Why would people pay more than they have to for items?

[malo2]

it will have no effect on prices at all, if 75k is taken out (assuming u put in 7.5m) and you get about 15 herbs in one day, that really isnt much. Now days you can easly grow that amount in an hour, if ur farming lvl is high enought, you have a decent chance of getting that from a single patch.

 

 

 

Also if you get about 200 coal in a day from paying 75k, that is almost nothing, any avarage player can mine a few k coal in a day.

 

 

 

So its profitable, just not mutch, and will have no effect on prices at all.

[Sky_Assasin9]

It may change a bit, but not too much.

[yomom1919]

sorry, but there is NO solution to inflation. it is a natural occurance in the economy. im not only talking about the rs economy, but im talking about real life economy also.

[Mr_BlinG6969]

There has been a rapid inflation in the economy, this should slow it down. Also, you only need to put in 750k to give your workers the full ammount of money, 75k, which is 10%.

 

 

 

From me and my friends kingdoms we have come to the conclusion that you can get coal and flax for about 40gp each. The other materials are coming in cheap too, with Farming being the least profitable.

[jessy87]

can we see some #'s of items obtained?

[Rebdragon]

I don't even know why anyone bothers to explain inflation, cause no one ever seems to get it at all.

 

 

 

(1)75k per day by EVERYONE using the Kingdom can easily take out 100s of millions a day from the game, which will most definitely affect prices. That along with Crystal weapons and Barrows degration helps counter inflation.

 

 

 

(2)When you farm, do you add cash into the game? NO. Jagex is taking cash money out of the game, actual cash.

 

 

 

(3)Also, that 200 coal you got didn't take any work, so you make that profit with almost no effort at all.

[kwimbob]

Yeah, could we get some numbers of things you got?

 

 

 

I'm also wondering if you know

 

Does "seeds" mean just vege seeds or also like herb, fruit, and tree seeds?

 

What are those "bonus" items you get for putting all your effort into one job? Did anyone put all effort into one job and get any of the bonus items yet?

[The_Valor]

Just got 1 teak, 1 mahogony and 2 coal for today...

[Mr_BlinG6969]

After my first 24 hours I recieved:

 

 

 

323 coal

 

1 diamond

 

1 sapphire

 

 

 

Seeds:

 

10 cabbage

 

5 tomato

 

2 barely

 

20 potato

 

2 watermelon

 

10 onion

 

1 asgarnian

 

1 rosemary

 

3 redberry

 

3 yanillian

 

2 nasturtium

 

11 hammerstone

 

5 strawberry

 

8 marigold

 

2 sweetcorn

 

3 woad

This all came from 3mil in chest (10% times ammount of money in chest up to a max of 75k is paid out) 75k paid out. 100% Approval. 60% Mining, 20% Farming, 70% Herbs

[Mr_BlinG6969]

What are those "bonus" items you get for putting all your effort into one job? Did anyone put all effort into one job and get any of the bonus items yet?

 

 

 

You get tree seeds if you tell them to cut maples. Gems if you tell them to mine, ect.

 

 

 

All other seeds come from the farmer. What are "bonus" items?

[Lighs]

How do the 24 hour periods work? Does the cycle begin after completing the first quest, after completing the second quest, after first putting money in, or what? Also, if I change my reward distribution in the middle of the day, does that reset the day and I have to wait another 24 hours, or does that give me the new reward distribution at the end of the preset period? I'm afraid of tinkering with it, lest I waste a day of progress.

Last time i checked, 10% of 7.5mil is 750k. not 75k.

[kwimbob]

Last time i checked, 10% of 7.5mil is 750k. not 75k.

 

75k is the maximum they'll take in a day, 7.5mil is the maximum you can put into the vaults at once.

 

 

 

Yeah, could we get some numbers of things you got?

You get the bonus items if you have a largish amount of ppl working on the job. You said gems come from mining, tree seeds come from woodcutting, and that's what I was looking for. I was wondering what the other bonuses like that were.

The max amount of cash you can use each day is 75k if I'm not mistaken. THe 10% thing only applies if less then 75k is used per day.

 

 

 

EDIT:Keeping the rant up for anyone who didn't get my post, but I don't think I proved you wrong lol. :oops: =

 

 

 

, its so much fun explaining this to the five year olds.

 

 

 

See that huge, caps locked word there? The one I specifically capslocked to make sure no one would post the crud you just said? With EVERYONE who's using the Kingdom a great deal of cash would be taken out of the economy daily.

 

 

 

Think about this, if only 1,000 people used the Kingdom thats 75k (per day) x 1000 people, or 75Mil gp taken out of the game a day. Now, 1000 is a great deal less then 1% of the Members Population. Say, 10,000 used it. Thats 750mil going out of the game EVERY DAY. 750 MILLION GP. Get it? No? Oh well, I'm not explaining it again.

[zonda]

Lol dragon...

 

 

 

Well, I would have to say a big no. You don't get what you pay for, at all... at least not from my experiences.

 

 

 

For the first week or so it might be a good money drain for the economy... I think maybe that's what Jagex was hoping for. Other than that, I don't see it being used.

[Fire_God]

I only put 15k into the kingdom with a 100% satisfaction rating. My efforts were 100% in rare wood and 50% in herbs.

 

 

 

The next day I came back and got 2 teak and 2 mahogany logs.

 

 

 

For me, it dosen't seem that great so I am trying again, this time, 50k in the kingdom, 100% satisfaction, and 100% in rare wood, 50% in herbs

[attackyomom]

... i had only 61% happy and put 20k in and got wait wow a unid herb and krandorian seed gonna get it to 100% now and put 75k see if i get any better

[TechHead7890]

The gems and tree seeds. Obviosly. But herbs? Potions? Farming? I'd say the rare plant's seeds. Who knows?

[seekad]

When I finished the quest I put 7.5M in the kindom, satisfaction qt 100% and set the works at 100% on seeds and 50% on herbs. After 24hrs thats what I got.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got 1 yew seed, i banana seed, 2 ranarr seed and 1 irit seed

 

Herbs are :

 

5 Tar

 

4 Harr

 

4 Irit

 

5 ranarr

 

2 avantoe

 

3 kwarm

 

3 cad

 

1 lant

 

3 dwarf weed

 

 

 

So my conclusion is, if i only visit my kindom once a week I should have a load of herbs and seeds for cheap, hoping that i get more tree seeds since its the only way i will training farming :P

 

 

 

So I will just visit the kindom on the same day I do guthixs rest so I wont forget.

 

 

 

P.S. : Yes I posted the same thing earlier, but the tread is near dead so I just posted again on this tread to get ppl to notice that its not all bad.
