8️⃣ have already claimed this exclusive offer!
Now for 5 years or even longer I have been closely watching the osrs market. So I thought it would be interesting to look back through the entire history of the economy to try and find some of the single most wild price changes this game has seen
To do this I will be looking back though 10 years of data, reddit posts and price graphs. This video is going to be highlighting only the most infamous market collapses or successes. I'm looking at items that increased by over 100x in value, or had its entire price wiped out overnight.
Thanks for watching

Largest percentage price increase was climbing boots in 2010 when they went from 12gp to 75,000gp overnight which is a 624,900% increase.

[@SincerelyVince]

that wasnt osrs though

[@timothybraun3796]

I remember I quit the game for awhile after I farmed zulrah and came back to literally 100's of mill worth of zul-andrea teleports

[@godzhell6876]

Should've mentioned revenant cave teleports crashing from 10k+ to 200 gp

[@elfmonster1476]

I've been digging a lot through item prices in the early history of RSC, and one item that changed a lot in value there was: Addy kite. Dropped from 900k to 30k in a couple months. And this was in 2001. The equivalent today would be approximately like a 2.5b item dropping to 80m in 2-3 months.

[@elfmonster1476]

@Zash It was from the very day Bluerose reached 82 Smithing

[@YawnWoofDog]

Revenant teleports were like 11-15K and sometimes even 20K now theyre 500 gp

[@unums]

Making Ranger Gloves needed for BIS isn’t that crazy of an idea, I mean you need Ranger Boots to make the BIS Ranged Boots in the game. 15:13

[@Infernal_Bow]

I thought the same thing as I watched that

[@jawstrock2215]

the difference is the clue tier though... A lot easier to farm and do mediums for boots..

[@chessmagician2024]

Ranger gloves are 1/1275 from a elite clues. Hardly the same level as rangers that are 1/293 from a medium

[@LaineDavies]

gloves are much much rarer, plus even on an iron you can do like 5-6 meds an hour, or just get them organically as you level up slayer. Have fun farming 1k+ elites.

[@evanmorrison3232]

​@@chessmagician2024 ye, I think the real problem is that he just said a clue unique, not an elite clue unique. That gives a whole different story.

[@cris25266331]

Should've covered the story of climbing boots going from 100 gp all the way to 75k overnight :P

[@Primafaveo]

That wasn’t in OSRS tho

[@D.j.m206]

Yeah that was RS3, but damn I remember that, I was a kid then but I always thought I wish I had a like 1k plus of them stacked up

[@elisteele574]

[@thisislargemouth5566]

The fact that OSRS is now nearly as old as RuneScape was when OSRS was released is insane to think about.

[@doughnutholer]

It’s like an official private server or an alternate timeline. It really started to fragment off after like 2016.

[@itsizzo1]

reminder of how great the game could have been without EOC and mtx

[@mikekrawczyk]

@@itsizzo1 reminder that the game couldve still had 100k+ players on at a time and full worlds everywhere, if not for eoc and the minimum wage rs3-wow-wannabe goblins.

[@itsizzo1]

@@mikekrawczyk yeah osrs is thriving and rs3 dwindles more and more everyday

[@itsizzo1]

@@mikekrawczyk but my original comment was more or less saying if that had never happened to the first runescape, the game would probably still be massive today

[@andrewv2782]

Surprised you didn't mention the crystal seed, which used to sit around 3-5k each prior to Priff being added. It peaked at over 400k in 2022 and is still sitting at around 160k currently

[@zebrauitpolen7478]

years back we bought 300m red spider eggs together with 6 others before the bot nuke, for less than 80 gp ea, sold them 2 days after the bot nuke for 1200-1400 ea

[@121Corey121]

Soulwars was also a big reason the Elysian went up so much. It was best in slot for SoulWars.

[@baconstrips1448]

The Ankou set is crazy rare. 12k master clues to get one piece!!

[@tophersadvice]

Man... Right before the Zulandra teleport update I sank ALL my gp into best in slot, supplies and TONS on zulandra teleports in hopes to grind out pet and max cash. Got 1.6B selling the teleports sold all the supplies and gear and had max cash after 3 days haha

[@rnginu59]

Great video! This was so interesting!

[@zinoit5]

Despite this not being sctrictly osrs I remember dragon claws going from under 270k to 50M during it's very first release on pre-eoc

[@Maulinhand]

I can’t remember when , if it was osrs or not. But climbing boots were 2 coins each and then they changed them to rock climbing boots back in the day. Pures and Mains in the PK community had hundreds or thousands of these in their banks at a time for return sets. That update made them 1000000x the cost and a lot of people cashed out big.

[@yrtti7732]

It happened in mainscape and you're overshooting the increase just a bit. :D The boots went up to 75k and there definitely was an uproar about how this benefited people who had happened to own a lot of them.

[@2e826]

Main game lol, I remember my brother and I would take turn buying invys all day as our best money maker

[@cannottrust3710]

I only had like 12 boots when the update hit. I was heartbroken

[@Ozonencb]

yes, he missed this. This was the biggest from like 2gp to 75,000. One guy showed a screenshot of hoarding them, he had 211k boots which automatically became rock climbing boots, so do the math 75,000 x over 200,000. You can say that guy became a happy man.

[@yrtti7732]

RS3's archer ring used to be around 30k since 2014 due to Jagex accidentally handing a player MILLIONS of them during an item restoration process, last year they created new BiS rings that require 10 of Dagannoth King rings to be made and now Archer Rings have been hovering around 18-20m for a good while. Likewise, Seers' Ring was sub-100k prior to it and now sits at the same price range as Archers. There were also Cinderbane Gloves that on release had a very high drop rate and were worth just a meager million. Drop rate was nerfed and the gloves peaked at 143m. Heh, this makes me hope that one day OSRS will start making use of old items so that they won't become absolutely worthless like Treasure Trails is full of these days. Just some actual use for them.

[@BeastLikeGamers]

we talkin osrs tho

[@Ryan83728]

so the guy just sold so many but jagex didnt realize?

[@baldrian22]

dont forget about rs3s treasure trail items ;) a lot of them was just like osrs clue items then invention apeard. dragon hatchet was also a item that increased a lot in price from that some time later and several other items atleast for a period increased a LOT but clue items was 100% the biggest increase. like comp bows. they give fortunate componets. each fort is aroun 1.5m in value +/- 100k and was probably like 1k if that before invention. thats a 1500x increase over the years.

[@gepffmains9333]

Ew rs3

[@EricN73158]

what happen to the warrior ring price? I don't know anything about RS3 tbh

[@nineonine9082]

Big love for my Eldritch and Harmonised Orb, big big upgrades for a 1 def pure and seeing the price increase 10 fold on the Eldritch was mind blowing, I knew people didn't seem to understand how great it was with Lightbearer.

[@RyanJ339]

Yeah I got the lightbearer at 50m and eldritch at 37m because I wanted infinite prayer at dks, then I quit for 2 months and the eldritch was 300m lol

[@RyanJ339]

And I was super happy that I had the eldritch for my inferno attempts

[@djjordan9696]

Nice choices for the Fan FRavorite ToPt Picks!

[@Mitche11Fin1ey]

Anti Venom is another item that went crazy in price over the last few years

[@zoidsfan12]

I have an issue with what you said about the ranger gloves, you need ranger boots for pegasians rofl, clue scroll item that is used for a bis

[@taylorzahayko9903]

Went to use your ad for the food, was wodnering if they deliver to canada, otherwise i cant order from there

[@wentoneisendon6502]

Very interesting vid. Cheers

[@billyburgess4162]

I think it would be an interesting concept if a feature would be added so that we can Invest money into a certain item. For the 3rd age pickaxe, for example, just adding a certain amount for it, and keeping it there. It would help you progress slowly towards a high priced item.

[@squirrel9999]

If i remember correctly crystal weapon seeds had a crazy price jump

[@Macswaggens]

Are zulrah tps useful for anything besides doing zulrah? Is there anything nearby there?

[@cracklypeach4801]

word has it, planks and nails will be used in the new sailing skill coming out $$$

[@MichaelFPow]

you forgot the other zulrah item, the crystal weapon seed going from 3k to peaking over 400k :)

[@philliporsit]

The BGS always gets me hahaha

[@lobstahdad7263]

Did we completely forget about ranger boots being required for BIS pegasian boots?

[@vacantvisionary]

Cool video but really didn't explain how the Shadow and Lightbearer made the orb more viable

[@scottwickwire-brock4736]

I managed to flip a bunch of bgs's when they buffed it and used to profit to buy a dhcb for the fashionscape that they ended up buffing shortly after. Literally made my entire account.

[@AnimationsN1]

I remember when I played years and years ago and climbing boots got changed to cost from like... 10gp to like 100k? Or something.. so pures would have something to risk... And one mod told a guy it was an incoming change and this guy stockpiled hundreds of thousands of boots lol

[@PolishDork]

15:01 I mean that is basically pegasian's now

[@jks0997]

The rapier went on a fun rollercoaster ride with Nex and ToA

[@imharbinger]

what about those seed merchant clans, which made some seed prices to go 100s of times the value.

[@rickysutphin5871]

I've thought about trying to make a few accounts for farming Christmas crackers. The Christmas quest are kind of long but idk.

[@otomachiuna9617]

You forgot the scythe. Sold for way over max cash at release, like upwards of 4b.

[@LemonCookies]

im glad i got to cash in on the zulrah teleports. made a good free 1b

[@Jowstjah]

Where did your flipping series go?

[@Jakksonian1993]

Watching this just reminds me at one point black dhide was max range gear😂(besides 3rd age)

[@IKKAIWINS]

Much love ❤

[@wearwolf4202]

Twisted bow. I remember back in the day it was like 500m now its 1.5b

[@skate446]

The Elysian increased to 1.2b dec 2021 because people thought it would be good at nex which released in January. Same thing happened with the spectral. I made over 400m just on spectrals alone 😂

[@Melodees_Dad]

What is the website you're using to see the prices of OSRS? I'm looking into doing flipping slowly to build money up so I can get my skills up.

[@Zehiret]

[@SatanDotExe]

15:12 Ranger boots turn into pegasians?

[@uhkapeli]

Medium clues vs Elite clues. They are also rarer than Ranger Boots per roll while keeping in mind you can't really farm elite clues like you can mediums via implings.

[@Flowers_Die]

zulrah teleports were 78 gp each at one point.

[@xJabro]

15:12 so ranger boots for pegasians?

[@TheL0rd0fSpace]

15:10 Yeah, this mechanic is ridiculous in theory. I mean, imagine if the best in slot boots for ranged were made using a clue item. Then, the non clue item, despite being a unique item dropped by a level 91 slayer boss would barely be worth more than alch value! Thank goodness Jagex would never do such a thing. 😅

[@Nate-vx6dd]

There's 2 reasons the ely went to 1.1/1.2 that you didn't cover. Ely first went nuclear when soul wars came out bc it was bis at the pvp minigame, i had it at that time and i went 1,150+ Also people were buying it in preparation for nex, thats the 2nd reason it went over 1b.

[@Zehiret]

Also bots killing the boss 24/7

hey man,was wondering if your still working on your serious of flipping to max gear?its been a while since you uploaded anything and i my memory serves me right you statad that your doing more quick flipping instead of long time investments

[@jacobcrsn]

Aren’t ranger boots best in slot from clue scroll?

[@tbsippin]

Haha you hurt my feelings when you said it was absurd to take a clue item and turn it into a BIS item, but I still don’t have ranger boots on my iron 😑

[@bombaycat1018]

i had a lot of crackers at 35k ea and they rose to 300k ea. worth mentioning. was only for 2 weeks tho this was recently

[@AIRFGC]

I'm still butthurt about farming guild update crashing the prices of a bunch of seeds

[@Zudexa]

15:19 *cough* ranger boots *cough*

[@anabolicino]

The orbs pricing makes me sick. I had both the green and blue orbs last year testing the specs on the staff. Sold both bc neither of them were really worth a shit for me for anything. Im fucking sick knowing I could’ve made 290m if I just waited like a month. Makes me so mad.

[@swaggerwagonism]

Why do you find it odd to make a clue item upgradable to BIS? pegasians? good video as usual though, all love!

[@yrtti7732]

I'd say because clues are entirely unreliable for their rewards, getting clues themselves is a pain, and because clues are traditionally more cosmetic focused with just few exceptions like Robin Hood and yes, Rangers.

[@SB-SB]

I gotta say that I've thought "I should probably invest in that, it's worthless and could find some use one day" and then I don't do it and years later it's worth 10x or more it's old value.

[@inb44]

Pegasian boots?? they are exactly the same as ranger gloves.

[@isaacmiller3386]

Party hats are only a few k now. Weird, last time I played they were tens of millions.

[@HobbsieGaming]

This is old school RuneScape, party hats on the main game (known as rs3) are worth billions now. They were introduced into old school just as a cosmetic and not a limited run of supply so everyone can have em.

@@HobbsieGaming got it, I thought they were expensive on osrs too but I guess I was wrong. I bought a bunch in case the price shot up.

[@Mr_Spaghetti]

guys i think he knows about Pegasian boots. he might have even been.. making a joke about them?!

[@tomcatfdynasty]

I mean this is pretty old but back in RS3, I believe it was pre-eoc, when they first made climbing boots tradeable on the GE and the price went from 12gp each to 10k. Most pures already had a climbing boot collection since it was the only option for pking and pvming on a pure. In a day your 1k stack of climbing boots went from no value/12K to 10m. And there were people who were into collecting climbing boots since they weren't easy to obtain and their 10k+ stacks turned into 100m+, all overnight. It was crazy. I was so mad I only had 20 pairs lol

[@ImMarkTheFarmer]

They went up to 75k each not 10k

[@congrelmunt8769]

I love how GE graphs create identical patterns to that of real life markets.. how funny 😊

[@Justin-jg2hi]

One thing that’s odd is, when you were talking about the bandos godsword, you said it peaked at almost 25m, when it actually peaked at 21.2m. That’s a bit far from 25m
