Jock66600 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well, I think its true. Not at the Ardougne Store but at the Druid's Shop. I remember 3 monthes back it was packed to the brim, now there is barely any left. Let me ask you this, what do you think? A bug? A shortage? Discuss and if locked may I ask why. If you must know, I been to 5 worlds, eash with below 15 vials. This is not spam nor help, curious whether the community has noticed or not. Its strange to see a sudden urge to whipe a shop clean of 10,000ish vials. If I remember correctly. My herblore is struggling due to lack of vials, that is all. Not a rant, just want to know what others think. Edit: I will post my replys here due to my vengeful hate towards the post count, I rather not repeat myself. Its not a question, its a discussion of your thoughts. _________________________________________________________ To Devnull: So I have figured this much for such a limited amount of good and qualified posts that I'm just another herblorist who is apparently late. Jock, something like this sounds to me like there are not enough "glass crafters" out there... I suggest you make some vials and/or enable your ability to make them and get your crafting level up a bit. :wink: ~Mr. Devnull I see.. Look at my crafting level, I can make them. But they are bloody hard to make, sand is easy to get yet seaweed is a problem. Just confuses me to think such a high number drained. _____________________________________________________________ To Watch: Two words: "Vial merchants". Aha, smartest thing I heard all day. Ironic to think they would choke the stores for mechanting but it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everfreefire Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'd think this belongs in a different forum, but that's not my decision... Anyway, there are people who world jump just to buy those vials to sell to herblore trainers who are too lazy to get them themselves. It earns them a profit, so they buy every single vial that they can. I hope that answered the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 No, I haven't noticed that...Maybe it's auto buyers? But why would someone buy that many vials? Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anish00b Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 chances are it just might be your bad luck, such as going on peak times when players are most likely to buy vials. try it again in a not so peak time. ~anish00b~ signature your as this use backwards this read to enough smart were you if^^^^read backwards^^^^ http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=757562&p=6009903^^^^The Best Melee Training Spot In The Game^^^^ http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=786213^^^^The new Bandits^^^^ even i have the misfile craze!!!

Kama Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I run into the same problem in ardo though. Never enough vials in stock. Check out the Runescape Investor blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Two words: "Vial merchants". Yeah, probably. If merchants make sure that vials keep really low on all worlds, merchants can get a hefty profit that way. That is a really good trick, come to think of it. In this case, I would suggest to you all to keep as many vials as possible. Use 4 doses. Do not drop them. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin11 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 ^^ Exactly what they all said. Admittedly more people do it with runes than vials, simply because runes are stackable, but you can still make a fair profit from vial-running. It jus takes a while because of the amount of running to a bank involved. If you checked 5 worlds in just one time period, the liklihood is they will all have been empty. If there is someone doing it at that time, then they will drain al of them. The best time to buy things like this, as with runes, is about 8PM GMT time, as it is the quietes period in the day throughout the world. Hope this answers your question 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Okay, look. You can make actually quite a lot of money if you do this long enough. I'm sure someone was buying/banking them. Why wouldn't they? And the difference from 3 months ago was: It was a good world with no W/F merchanters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
