Duke_Freedom Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I said in the last tip.it times article I wrote that I'd take a look at construction again when the skill would be a few months old - so that's what I'll do now. Not surprisingly, the graph of the total experience of all players on the construction highscores shows to be a root function. Ofcourse a new skill is very popular during the first few days after it came out and looses the massive interest quickly. The latest total exp of all people on the construction highscores (about 193K people) combined is ~21bil exp. Eventually we should expect the graph to start looking more like a linear line (as the interest in leveling the skill will become 'constant') or actually even a bit like an exponential function (as more and more people are starting to play runescape). Between 1-6-06 and 10-6-06, people were getting a total of 1000mil exp / day, between 10-6-06 and 30-6-06 people were getting about 325mil exp / day and between 30-6-06 and 26-8-06 (now) people were only getting 95mil exp / day together. Assuming that every experience gained roughly draines 10gp from the economy, construction still drains about 1bil gp / day. Nothing extremely big, but it is still a significant money drain. :) The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+.

Jake_Corsair Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 ow, my brain hurts now.... =P~ Nice work, I hadn't given it much thought, but after I started reading your post, I found it very interesting.

Taito2004 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Shame more than that probably comes into the game.. I wish there was something that would make rare prices fall significantly.. rather than make them shoot to 20m from 8m in a week. *cough* santa's *cough* 92/99 Fishing | 119/120 Combat | 92/99 Firemaking | 94/99 Fletching | 1878/1900 Total | 85/85 Slayer | 80/80 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppunkrocker Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think construction has slowed the growth of the price of rares... but it's still not offsetting the gp going into the economy through alching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasar889 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Once again Duke is right on the money. *Pun intended* Duke, do you (or did you) take a lot of math classes in HS or college? You seem like quite an intellegent chap. I always enjoy reading your summary on RS economics, and will continue to read them in the future. TY for a great read. You act like the game community is like the stinking bowels of hell.... In all reality.. its much.. much... worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Freedom Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think construction has slowed the growth of the price of rares... but it's still not offsetting the gp going into the economy through alching The effect of construction is probably hardly visible on the long-term, as the last time I estimated the total gp I concluded roughly 6-7 bil more gp went into the economy then out of it each day. Still, construction at least drains some of that extra money away. The value of my bank at its height.

Aresgodowar Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 this is very interesting. i think that the only variation could be people using guthix tears to slowly level(me 32-41), and others using free methods including clay and limestone. both are verytime consumeing and slow but free.
