Potentially a wonderful investment

[Hoopster211]

You've seen all of the pictures of POh's leaking out on the forums right? The house with a portal and plants near it, the new "Construction" skill on the Knowledge Base, and the new Construction symbol. So this means that Construction should be coming out pretty soon, because they must already have a majority of it ready. What a few of you may have not noticed over the past week was that the planks have changed in look. They seem more realistic in view, and are the only one to my knowledge that was changed. So wouldn't planks of wood be the most ideal thing to build a house with?

 

 

 

So... heres the potential investment. When construction comes out, people will be wanting all of those planks. With only a few spawns of them, it could take forever to get enough for a house. So if my instinct is correct, they will make it so you can fletch logs in planks. Now I'm not sure if it will be just normal logs, like arrow shafts are, but it could be higher level planks for higher level houses. So if you buy say, 80k yews at 300ea (or 285ea in F2P, maybe slower though) for 24M gp, they might raise temporarily to 320ea, until the construction craze is over.

 

 

 

So 80k times 20 is equal to 1.6M, which is an ok investment. Heres the great comeback incase of a fireback scenario. If it turns out you only need normal logs, you can either sell all of the yews back, as they might not change in price, or just fletch and alch them and still gain a profit.

 

 

 

When farming came out, apple seeds were around 30kea, now they're 5kea, after the craze. There has also been some leaks from the RS item database about KBD heads, and KQ heads that you can mount to the wall. Also some heraldic shield painting stands, so they might shoot up in price too.

[Hoopster211]

Also, it would take ages to gather enough planks of wood from the wild to build a house. I just bought 87k yews at 280ea with 24mil, and if this doesn't happen, I can still sell at 300ea on forums.

there are shops that sell planks.....

[Nathaninch]

Most of these items are difficult to get. When POH/carpentry does finally come out, you can bet these items will be a lot more accessible.

 

 

 

Just look at teak and mahogany. A lot of poeple collected a bunch the hard way, and feel dumb now.

Where?

[andreynoobyperson]

there are shops that sell planks.....

 

 

 

Burgh De Rott and Mort'ton down in morytania. That's all of them. I think. Plus the wildy spawn of planks.

 

 

 

Btw, there is a huge ton of planks down by Crandor where the ship crashed, and some of them might be out in the water, but it's a secluded spot. Pretty much the same distance away from a bank as the wildy. (teleport, or go through dungeon to the TzHaar.

 

 

 

It's nice thinking but there's too much maybe's and guessing in there for me.

[Hoopster211]

Oh well, people buy yews 300ea all the time, still 1.6M

[B_50_2]

Well...

 

 

 

Yeah i suspect Carpentry will be like fletching.

 

 

 

Lvl 1 - Wood House

 

Lvl 5 - Oak House

 

 

 

ETC

 

 

 

Till:

 

 

 

lvl 99 - Magic House (Noobs get an instant 70 hit when trying to get into your house)

 

 

 

Joke :P

[Dalcyte]

i doubt it will be planks...teak and mahogany seem more likely, with planks as a minor thing.

[TWIKK89]

does anyone remember the whole smithing nails discussion? i bet you could use rune nails or something...

 

people would start selling them sooner or later, and then there would be a new use for smithing.....

[Junkieman]

my guess is planks will be makeable from wood.

Nails are for brutal arrows right?

yeah, but nails are also for building... ahem, dragon slayer boat...

[godsfearme]

I think that after the spade incident at easter jagax probly make loads more stores and have their wares jump high. like put 200 more for base level.

Does Port Khazard have them?

[optimusprime]

The new quest has a crate, that gives unlimited planks... so.... why worry?

I collected a good amount of them, and I dont feel dumb at all. There may be easier ways to access them in the future, but I will be prepared, when others will still be collecting.

[scopium]

There are other ways to make a house you know, bricks. So maybe wood houses will be moe advanced ones.

[biggy08755]

you should of bought the yews 250 ea... noone buys 300 ea anymore

[Hoopster211]

Really? After seeing all of the replies I decided to ditch the idea, and sold them ALL for 300 each. Just sold the last few like 7 hours ago.

[gonzlar]

I'm suprised no one recalls what happened when Farming came out. Jagex introduced means to obtaining seeds early (mainly through pickpocketing master farmers) as well as killing farmers for seeds and farming equipment. People were selling seeds and equipment for outrageous prices until farming actually came out. We then found out how easy the equipment was to obtain.

and are the only one to my knowledge that was changed

 

 

 

The ghost speaking ammy has also changed

[Raven6666]

which this is irrelevant

 

 

 

[back on topic], if you look at that pic that was leaked, i would say they are planked houses

 

 

 

nails and a lot of planks would be needed

 

BUT

 

prices wont really rise since yews are fairly easy to cut

 

 

 

 

 

you dont have to stock up for things unless u need like 10k of an item

even still, if you need yew logs, it will probably be like lvl 50 construction before you can actually use them. so ull have time to obtain them

[Mythy01]

people have thought this many times. Back before RS2 came out and theiving we had the ability shown as carpetry, how ever it was scrapted. At that time people started to collect 100k's of planks, some I know got to at least 10k... so yeah people hear this all the time, the question really is, will it be new materials or this old stuff.
