ranger sets, my theory

if your wondering why ranger sets are constantly increasing is due to the facts that more pures are added to the game. my friend invested nearly 20m with 5 range sets while he bought them for a low price. like most of the rares, ranger sets goes up as more demands increases. pures only go after the best stats to make proficient stakes. I think thats why the prices are driving crazy... i nearly could of invested more by buying more boots when they were going up. i just cant think the supplies are keeping up with the amount of pures wanting those sets.

discuss... :wall:

Yeah, I noticed it too. I was in W2 fally today to buy a ranger set, which I surprise, could now not afford. I talked to QueenVal about it, and she sold her old Robin hat for I think she said 3m or so a few months back. And now a Robin hat is 6m and I remember it being CHEAPER. I was like "double you tee eff" and was mad because I couldn't afford it. A ranger set now costs 8-10m in price. I wish I had gotten that Dragon chain months ago so I could buy that ranger set for cheaper. Oh well, stupid pures and merchenters always selling for too much. Oh well.

How good really are Robin Hoods and Ranger Boots?

Snakeskin boots and an archer helm are both cheaper methods that are probably only a few stats behind the two and they are WAY cheaper than ranger sets.

When it comes to Staking and merchanting, an Archer Helm and Snakeskin Boots don't cut it. :-$

Ah I see, but surely a +5 loss can't make THAT much of a difference. Rangers already get insane bonuses already.

i figured something stupid like this would happen, didnt think itd take this long, its because people want stuff that is expensive to wear as well... its like omfg this hat costs 2mil ill wear with a dragon chain all day while i stand in fally park. then its like all the sudden people who really use it are like, i need it then theirs people who are like, i need that to look like a good merchant...

people get too involved in RS, infact this thread is not even original their was a thread 3months ago depicted the exact words to almost a perfect replication and same out come, when they were like 5mil per set instead of 8m+

but truly, the question is, why do we need theorys about these items?

3rd age range coif for any1?

3rd age range coif for any1?

doesnt 3rd age require defence? correct me if im wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but zammy coif: +9 range bonus. (Robin has a +8). (Just got the zammy coif last night in a clue FTW!)

(EDIT: Nevermind, they have a +7 bonus.)

So where the hell is the market for zammy coifs people? (Robin sells sooo much faster....)

Ranger sets just match and are apparently desirable even though certain items (ahem robin) are now outdated....

Btw, Ranger boots have been increasing not because of pures, but rather the fact that more and more players are doing level 3 clues as they are more profitable. I would suggest that among the players that consistently do clues, most do level 3s. For this reason, ranger boots which were 650k for a good year or more about 16 months ago have shot up to 1.8 -2 mill or more now. (They were only 1 mill even 5-6 months ago.) Do -NOT- underestimate the effect third age has had on treasure trails... It's made people look at TTs as a worthwhile endeavor. I mean good grief, it made me finally jump on board. :)

blessed coifs only have a +7 range attack bonus. Still its better than an archer helm.

indeed it does. but my bringing up the coif was something i was considering for my self, since i do not really want a robin hood hat.

im not sure what the coif is going for these days, i read on zybez 2-3mil then its like on the forums like 30mil (i dont recall the exact price.) its kind of saddening but whatever.

anyway, imagine since the best stuff is like that high the lower prices items that are still good rockets up. PERHAPS.

go ask r2pleasant to explain this phenomenon further tho, he or duke knows what they talk about.

Whoa. I had no idea robin hats were worth 6 mill these days. I happily go out ranging with it every day without realising the possible loss if I die due to connection loss, a naughty gargoyle or a random... (Got mine through a clue, I'm a bit of a bum on the whole.)

Oh well.

Anyway, the arrival of so many more tt items has made the chances of getting a robin hood hat even lower, so it makes sense to me that they get more expensive. It doesn't make sense to me that people are willing to spend that kind of money on it, though.

Its probably only a consequence of the decreased drop rate of robins and rangers due to new clue rewards release ( of which 3rd age has the least effect).

One of my friends speculated about this after the so called 3rd age update and bought around 40 of this range sets at 5m or so.

^ That would actually increase the supply of robin sets and hence reduce the price.. NOT increase it as you seem to suggest...

Yea, as I read Mordendravid's post, I loled in real life because he got it wrong...

I didn't know that ranger set went up that much! Too bad I wasn't able to afford one when they were cheap.

I never thought about it that way to be honest, and it sounds like a possible idea, nice work.

Robin Hood hats, yes. But the biggest gain is a ranger set is the ranger boots, which have shot up, and which are in level two clues.

I was quite surprised to get back from my break and find that the rangers I got from a clue right before I left were suddenly around 6 times what they were before.

For Robins this may be true as they're a level 3 clue, but not for Ranger Boots which are level 2. I do about 7-10 clues a week and none are level 2s. Mostly this is because of the monsters I kill, but also because apart from ranger boots, level 2 clue rewards are worthless.

A bigger initial impact on the price is likely the added "junk" for the clue rewards. Whereas before Robins basically shared space with God Armor and then God Pages, now there are Cavaliers, blessed dhides, etc. The same for Rangers as well. However, these items have been out for a long time, and this really doesn't explain the increase in price.

Overall I think the sets are increasing in pice (yes both the robin and the boots) for the following reasons:

-Less level 2 clues being done.

-More junk and clutter added to rewards

-Market effects: as semi-rare things shoot up in price it tends to inflate the effect other market forces may have. In other words, Ranger sets become more expensive because people hear that they are more expensive. If someone now speculates that they should increase in price, they expect to charge (and pay) more for the same itmes. As they plunge in value the same holds true.

I think that it's not any of these causes in particular that explains the current price of Ranger sets, but the latter could explain the recent skyrocketing of the items.

Additionally it might be interesting to see whether the recent increase for robin prices may be following (not leading) the increase in the price of ranger boots. People figure that if rangers increase in price by 400%, hey why not boost robins up 50% or more...

Excactly what greedom said. With every TT adition, the change of getting any item stays the same, so the change of getting a specific items decreases.

There are too many wannabe pures drop trading cash and items to their noobs.

I bought my ranger set last summer before the new tt items came out \ . Ranger sets are higher since the rate of them being introduced into the game is less since there are more tt items, my question is what will the end up peaking at :ohnoes: ?

I don't have anything to add really. I just wanted to brag about how I got full robin +300k for full torags a while back when both robinhoods and torags were 3m.

I was happy when I first did the trade because I made 300k, I never even imagined it would become a multi million gp profit, lol

Well, the word on the street is Twenty fourr has bought at least 100 Sets...Helping them [bleep]e up.

i think its because of your pure reason and the fact that because there are more treasure trail rewards now. more rewards means less chance of getting the old ones

Normally, I see prices of treasure trails drop such as the way trimmed armor has, but ranger sets seem to resemble rares. Their prices keep rising, just like those santa hats, phats, and masks. I don't know why they're in such high demand, but their prices will probably drop soon. 10 mill is definitely not worth the extra bonus.
