Try Rocket Money for free: RocketMoney.com/FLIPPING #rocketmoney #personalfinance
The runescape market has been wild today. With the first part of the project rebalance update, many different items have changed price significantly.
But there has also been a trend in the last month of heavily botted items actually increasing in price. So we are going to be looking at a little bit of everything in today's market analysis for the months of December and January.

Astrals went up because I started casting make plank, so my bad luck ruined the economy. (I've started hopping worlds and battling the other buyers at baba yaga to get them, cause I'm cheap.)

[@skyemanuel5069]

Blade of saldor needs to have an acc and strength buff with crystal armor. Other than that, the abyssal tent is the bis for most mid lvl players. Cheap, minimal requirements, and apply poison. The only reason Blade of saldor is priced high is do to how much the weapon seed cost.

[@richardjones8846]

blade of saldor needs a 50% accuracy increase, and 50% more +20 str with crystal armor. it's been a joke of a weapon since release. nothing slash based is good because everything is weak to stab but tough vs slash, and most accuracy increases do sweet FA because you need such an abundance of accuracy to ever make something worth using over just simply doing more damage.

[@RhysCooper22199]

​@@richardjones8846 A minimal increase to accuracy is massive against something with high defence

over the last few days I saw somethin' real strange that might be worth looking into: grimy guams being worth 300gp for some wild reason. I dunno what the hell is up with that but it was crazy to see

I started a new acc yesterday and wanted some early herb lvls, Guam unfinished pots were 500 gp. Wtf is going on there lol

[@gators9570]

Did making Guam tar become more popular for training?

[@lifeforgod07]

This happens periodically. I believe some bot farm is starting and is buying up all the Unf Guams on the market to train herblore. I made about 30m in less than 20 minutes buying grimy guams/regular guams, running to that dude in nardah, making unf guams then instant reselling them on the GE. have to get lucky with timing and pay attention to when this happens. But its happened a couple times the past month.

Seems like some team is upping the price of herbs. All potions inflate dlike crazy over the last year. Super def pots at 3k ea? wtf . Super att pots used to be 80 each now they are like 1300

On May 3rd 2023 the trouver parchment started getting double drops in the wilderness. I understand that's not enough to go from 3K to 33K spike but that definitely contributed to it in some fashion.

I haven't been playing the main game for quite some time because I was frustrated with bots and how they affected the economy... Went back on yesterday to check things out and zulrah scales had rebounded back to ~150gp ea. Pretty wild considering at the peak of the zulrah bot farms scales went down to 91gp ea, but more commonly around 101-105gp ea. Does this mean Jagex is FINALLY banning bots? Can I play the game again?

facts

[@cIeetz]

yes its easier to hijack accounts now, no thats not gonna compare to absolutely no new bots coming into the game at least temporarily. theres like a couple farms still creating bots in tutorial island in f2p, but its like a couple percent of what it was prior. Thats the main thing, this guy knows whats up@@Controldelete

[@mrputter-rs]

Price of blade is up bc fang was used a lot at vardovis

[@LagunaFox]

Yea the price of bonds will never go down. At some point they will be completely unaffordable to f2p players. I mean look at the difference in gold generation between f2p and members. F2p your highest gold per hour is like 500k and that is doing high alch on stuff until you hit your buying limit for all those things. The next best things are smithing or mining runite which is basically not happening in f2p, and then stuff drops into the 200k an hour range. Where as on members you can literally make a mil an hour just tanning dragonhides. Members can afford to pay far more than what f2p people can because they can literally farm up the cash for a bond in less than a day. Where as if you are a f2p person trying to break into members you have to save up for probably an entire week, and that is if you are playing the game like an 8 hour a day job. And then when you buy that bond you are broke, so you either have to start off in members with no money or stay in f2p for another day or two just to build up some cash again to afford some very basic things. Jagex seriously needs to take a look at the f2p economy and do something about that this year or I wouldn't be surprised if the game literally becomes members only (at least practically if not literally) like Classic did before they kicked that to the curb.

[@TeakBoxxx3r]

It should and remove bonds and male p2p only

[@vladimirmishkov9555]

New account creation stalls mass accounts creation by a milestone. Also there were huge ban waves on 3rd party clients. Clients that were very reliable took a short hit, but are back on track now.

[@yaboiwilly2425]

Bonds going up in price is also because gp went down in price. 1m is 18cents so it's around 2 dollars to buy a bond compared to the 7 dollars to buy an actual bond

[@flim363]

Should I just sell all my PvM gear and skill for awhile and buy back once everything crashes?

[@theevilben666]

The ge tax is also driving items up in price as people don't want to lose that out of their "profit" and item flippers are also part of the problem. Before the tax ot was fine but now too many people are concerned about making a certain margin. If certain items had 0 tax (bonds, and certain other items) and the tax bracket was changed from 100gp to 100k it would also help as a ge tax only serves to keep the poor separated from the wealthy. When a t bow gains 100m every other month who cares about the 1m tax

What blows my mind is how the removal of duel arena, multiple “bot nukes” and “bot busting days”, literal gold sinks of all kinds being added to the game, and GE tax, Jagex still complains about how much GP is in the game, or about how XYZ is unfair to the “health of the game” yet nuking bots just makes prices even more volatile lol

[@cIeetz]

its pretty straight forward. This requirement for Jagex Accounts is a huge stutter step for botters. Tutorial island is literally empty on every f2p world. They are all busy rewriting their scripts to work with creating Jagex accounts. Bot numbers are going to dwindle and the most botted items will inflate in price, at least temporarily, and most likely indefinitely.
