So … I was thinking with the massive amount of information being released on a bot nuke what might be worth investing in? I bought a TON of ranarr seeds back in the day when they were 2500 … almost all seeds and herbs are increasing to "normal" levels … I remember having to pay 20k for ranarr seeds back in the day.

That being said if bots really are getting nuked it seems like a fantastic time to perhaps merch some stuff assuming you dont mind holding onto the inventory for a while. I was going through the GE and wasnt sure what to get. Pure Ess has dropped lately, I could still buy seeds as I predict they will continue to rise in price, dbones and ashes might not be a bad option either. I like the idea of higher volume items as well like papayas, gold ores, and grenwall spikes.

I suppose the real question is what items right now are most impacted by bots dumping materials onto the GE??

Thoughts?

Interesting, might have a look around GE myself if I could find something I could invest in with my few million bank :) Quite risky though, as Jagex could fail in getting rid of bots.

Not only risky in that. You need to remember that lots of the material are being used by bots as well. Something like seeds will more commonly be used by legits. But something like pure essence is most likely not a good investment as lots of bots use the ess. (That being said, an investment in ess would still reap profits but not nearly as good as other investments).

I suppose theres also ROI to consider … I could buy 1 million pure ess @ 85gp at the moment but it would probably only increase in price to 140ish gp. You wouldnt even double your return with that … ranarr seeds, if and when, they get up to 10k would be 4x return.

That's still 55m profit for no work though.

Its 55m for bank space, where as if you flipped everyday you would of made prob 4x that in that time with the same money.

Yeah I have seen those flip videos and alas its a little over my head. I am a long term investor not a day trader :). I like buying items that will appreciate and arent quite so volatile.

Lol, I make 2m a day sometimes, just flipping. Sometimes only 1k…

Anyway, this will probably crash the market even more, but invest in bones! I remember when they were less then 20gp (I think?) and then went up to 160gp!

Also Lobbies!

Chins spots normally have like 8 people in each, but I'm not sure how high normal legit players are willing to let them rise.

Prices already soared higher than usual, and they will probably fall again after some time. Flipping may be good for now, but long term wise, very unpredictable

I wish I could invest in some of this stuff. I would drop atleast 1b on it. I am deploying very soon, without internet, I will end up just losing a bunch of money. :(

I've been slaying black drags for the last week an half, roughly 2.5k black hides & drag bones, trying to get 4500 before the nuke…

Prices of natures, deaths, and Astrals have all dropped in huge amounts…. For example I just sold 1.1m Astrals yesterday all for 113gp ea…

If you're talking about herbs, then they have already risen. Things that are still "in the gutter" are runes/ess/p.ess. I for one made a reasonable investment to nats and laws after botany bay was announced.

I didn't really invest in anything,

I don't know if i was helped but i managed to make swordfish drop and i bought 250k of them for 230 each.

Brought them up to 267 atm, gonna get em to 290 n then will dump.. for..

15mil prof :D

There are so many in the market that it is very unlikely for you to affect the prices :P You can see its trade volume on the ge database.

BTW it is quite funny that there was an economic bubble all over the ge last week, and it collapsed a few days ago. Most, if not all items suddenly spiked up. I made some heft profit from gold ore, I sold when they went up like 30 GP from the price I bought at.

chins, coal, gold ore, herbs, fish and runes are the things you should invest in.

I would invest in magic tree logs, some ore's, pure ess like you mentioned is really good too.

I am going to make 400k more Astrals, sell it off for GP then convert it into Pure Ess with hopes the market will be brought back up later.

Guys Guys Guys, its all about the Lobbies! Jk

Pure Essence will rise soon enough!

I think Monkfish might be a better investment than lobbies since they are F2P. Although that being said Sharks are making quite the comeback and are up 50% in the past 90 days.

I would put all my money on lobsters because of the mass swarm of bots at any world in Karajama, then go into hibernation for some time. The only problem is I have no money on RS…

Speculation may go sideways, but if you really have to, food and f2p pots may be a good look into. *whispers EOC*

Swordfish will probably rise a lot

The key is not only thinking "what do bots produce,," but "what do bots produce that legits use a lot of" I'd say pk'ing supplies like lobby or swordfish would be a safe bet.

I am currently trying to buy botted goods 25% below current marketvalue. I am hoping for a psychological shock when the banning starts. I invest in essence, gems and magic logs. We'll see. It 's coming my way in rather unpredictable chunks.

In the end, most of these goods will rise, it might take a couple months, but they will rise. Thats why I have 30m invested, hoping both my items double in price.

I agree, assuming this nuke will stay for a while. But nevertheless, even the last nuke did put them out for a good few months. Trying my luck to buy up some last minute resources :P
