November 9, 200619 yr In today̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s news on the EASTSIIIDE of Fally... Merch's are jumping off their percḫ̢̢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s... and are the skillers following them down?? With the recent accouchements of 99 Skill capes and the quick follow-up of the "Hunting" skill, we have seen a 10-15% decrease in rare prices. The 99 skill capes pumped a new found interest in achieving high levels in certain skills. Now getting 99 in a skill not only marks a great achievement, but you also receive a cape with decent stats and an emote that is far different then anything in RS. The new cape not only makes your effort and hard work pay off, but helps your character walk around with pride. With this new found interest in skills and the need for raw materials, players are raw material hungry and fighting to find suppliers. The need for raw fish, bowstring, yews, mages, gold ore, herbs and d hides has increased 2 fold. The normal people selling materials are now using them for their skills. This increased the demand and lowered the supply chain. Raw materials began to increase in price and less and less people were buying rares. Thus, dropping the demand for rares. More people started drawing their attention to raw materials and away from the old mighty RARES. Prices for materials began to rise rapidly, so quick it drew the attention of many merch's. Some very large mercḫ̢̢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s shifted there attention to some raw material areas, rather then Santa's, PHats and other rares. This helped the supply to the skillers, but again the demand for Rares went even lower. After a steady rise in prices, the materials have found their plateau. Will the Mercḫ̢̢ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s begin to get bored with the new Raw Material market? Will the big money again shift to rares? Will people begin to sell the rares to buy more materials? Will people sell as they are scared of a market crash? .....One thing merchants can't stand is.... Lack of demand... ..........One thing players can't stand is ... Market Crashes.... This reporter has seen many markets like this and the rich get richer and the poor smack their heads for selling soo CHEAP! Don't be on of those players that fall into this deadly cycle. Stay ahead of the times... Sell your Raw materials HIGH - Buy your Rares low..... Then sell your rares back to the merchs later and buy even more materials.... Who is high on the Perch now??

November 9, 200619 yr Author Part II And the prices have done what!?!?!! In further research on the first article from Fally. We have noted the following changes in the RARE market. Since the announcement of both 99 skill and new skill the prices have done the following for rares... ========These are estimated prices, shop before using them========= Pumpkin : Before: 14.5 After: 12.5 Net Loss: 14% Easter: Before: 15 After: 13.5 Net Loss: 10% Santa Before: 28.7 After: 23m Net Loss: 20% Masks Green Before: 27.2 After: 22.9 Net Loss: 16% Blue Before: 38.5 After: 29.2 Net Loss: 24% Red Before: 48.9 After: 39.5 Net Loss: 19% =============================== As you can see The devaluation attempt is currently working. Will this trend continue? Is having GP right now have more value? Should you buy now while prices are at a 4 month low? Stayed tuned.....

November 9, 200619 yr Are you posting this on every forum you go on? =D Still that's some pretty important info for all the rare merchants.
November 9, 200619 yr 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+.
November 9, 200619 yr You missed phats :D Maybe I'll finally be able to buy a santa at the price they're at now!!! YAY! You like playing the role of news reporter, don't you? :P
November 9, 200619 yr Thanks for the news update, deangut. I am curious what will happen to prices after the new Hunting skill is released later this month. http://www.chaosgone.blogspot.com
November 9, 200619 yr Shh! Don't tell them or prices will go up again! Atleast, don't tell them untill i can afford a blue mask... Lamest attempt at a lure ever.No, Ive seen "selling easter egg 5m must be level 78 77 or 76 and meet at varrock bar unarmed.
November 9, 200619 yr Oh you know this is only temporary. If you think rares will stay like this at a plateau and so will raws, you lack knowledge of the basic economy in RS. Give it a month or so. Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!
November 9, 200619 yr I'd like to see the santas drop down to 20m cause of hunting or something cause I'm currently stationary at my little 10m, spending time on skills, and I originally wanted it at 18 but then my comp died for 2 months.. and if it goes to 20m that be nice and I might finally try and hit the gas on the money and get a santa =) 100% F2P- 70 CB, My goal of 1100 total level- My goal for 1100 total f2pTFS Leader - http://z11.invisionfree.com/TTFS/index.php?
November 9, 200619 yr My pumpkin was actually at least 18M before 99 capes. So its gone down WAY more than you said. But I agree with your point. I'm hoping rares will go up SOON.
November 10, 200619 yr Author Hmm Darkmage... I think the WHOLE point of this post is... DONT SELL!!! They are going back up... Reading skill ftw @ - Come Join SoDB in Some GWD and other Slaying! - @
November 10, 200619 yr Oh noes! :ohnoes: I see 20k p-hats :uhh: =P~ :XD: *grabs 400k, 2h, and str and heads for markets* ^ Blog.
November 10, 200619 yr Price will drop only a certain amount, after than it'll all be on the hands of merchants who will only sell for a profit :)
November 10, 200619 yr Oh noes! :ohnoes: I see 20k p-hats :uhh: =P~ :XD: *grabs 400k, 2h, and str and heads for markets* *runs over to pinkbullet3, clobbers him in the head, steals the 400k and grabs 600k from nairb's bank and buys as many p-hats as possible :thumbsup: * Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :)
November 10, 200619 yr Oh you know this is only temporary. If you think rares will stay like this at a plateau and so will raws, you lack knowledge of the basic economy in RS. Give it a month or so. yeah, exactly. It'll make the noobs at the bottom of the supply levels get paid more, and therefore, probably spend more time making money to get more stuff. Then Its all back to where it was.
November 10, 200619 yr Oh noes! :ohnoes: I see 20k p-hats :uhh: =P~ :XD: *grabs 400k, 2h, and str and heads for markets* *runs over to pinkbullet3, clobbers him in the head, steals the 400k and grabs 600k from nairb's bank and buys as many p-hats as possible :thumbsup: * *Gets angered and kills nairb. Then collects whatever he dropped and buys all the p-hat he can obtain with the items he gained*
November 10, 200619 yr :D ! Now I will maybe get enough money to buy a santa sometime... in 2 years or so... Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak
November 10, 200619 yr 12.5 for a pumpkin? I might just sell all my stuff and get one :o . Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.
