Hello all

over the last month i have really got into merchanting. I have made ~80 mil in 30 days just from merchenting starting with 5 mil. And i though id share something, nature runes look to me like there gonna peak off at a low point in the next few days and that now would be the perfect time to buy some as i recon in 1-2 weeks they will be 150-160. what do you all think?

I recommend against it. They are going to be at a low price always from now on I think.

Yeah. The prices are dropping because of how many people have started botting rc since release of free trade

And people will be using it less and less because you can use dungeoneering to get free magic exp. Just bind cosmics, go in, cast create gatestone continuously, rinse and repeat.

exactly right. anything that can be harvested on a mass scale is not the best merching item. a safe one perhaps just because they'll be monopolized for a day or two which causes the fluctuation, but ultimately they will decrease due to bots. until there's a mass ban.

I was always under the impression that runes were good merching items due to the fact that they are destroyed on use. Keeps the demand up and whatnot.

That's doesn't factor in when there are 30 people on every world botting it 24/7.

Compared to how many alchers and superheaters though?

the demand will almost always be there just because theyre so efficient but eventually people will get 99. the main thing you must realize when merching on a videogame is that unlike the real world, the resouces are not limited. therefore all unlimited items as in any harvestables or monster drops will make all items in the game drop prices eventually. only exception is with things that are limited like santa hats etc.. and if theres 30 or so on every world and they make 2x nats than inventory on avg…well thats a loot of nats…

It might rise up in the future, but not now, I bought like 200k nats when they were 145, now im screwed cos they're well below 135

You probably bought them from me. :) Thanks for buying. I really wish the rune market would recover but I'm not seeing it happening. The Herb Market is screwed up pretty bad too.

I once tried merching Soul runes when they dropped from 400gp to 200gp. I lost 50M. They never got back up.

humm ill rethink a mass investment. i do flipping a lot better ill stick to that. but i still think they will rise because pure ess is rising at the moment and natures almost never go below 130 below. at 130 alching starts to become quite profitable and so i think we may see a rise in demand im just unsure if it will be enough to make any good profit.
