The Current State of the RS Economy (Crashing/Rising due to EOC)


Jake

2012-11-07 17:42:00

The panic and dumping of items has begun thanks to the announcement of the EOC.
Note: This is only a list of what I have written from the activity on the GE and the Forums. Buy/Sell at your own risk. If you can flip well, this week and the following week are basically your "time to shine" chances to make a lot of money because of dumpers. This list should increase, As I will add more soon. If you have any suggestions/Items, please post.
If you have no Idea about how to Flip, then stay awayfrom these items.
If you know how to flip, then today is your lucky, as you have found the haven for making money right this instance.
Crashing/Expected to Crash Items
All Nex Armour
The special boosting hp effect with the whole set of nex armours is NOT special anymore since it NO LONGER gives that Hp boost.
Dragon claws
(Going for as low as 5-8m each on the GE/Forums. GE Med price is 13m)
Saradomin Swords
You can train any melee skill, regardless of whether it is in Slash/Crush/Stab/etc mode.
God Books/Pages/Mage Book
More god books will be released, there will be less demand for the current ones.
Vesta Longsword/Corrupt Vesta Longsword
It is losing its special effect, the epic stab special. Renders it useless.
Red Chinchompas
(Bots, especially goldfarmers are dumping so many red chins into the market. Demand is not keeping up with the massive supply.
Spirit Shields/Sigils( DIVINE, ELYSIAN, SPECTRAL)
These will all crash. Jagex announced back in June that their special abilities will be removed, but Arcanes remain unaffected. Divines are going as low as 100m gp below the market price.
Bandos Armour (Chest/Tassys/Boots)
These are crashing, as dharoks is much cheaper, and are similar in the stats. There are much better alternatives that cost way cheaper than Bandos.
Saradomin Brews + Super Restores
These do not heal much lifepoints/affect the amount to be gained as it used to. Leads to less demand for the Super Restores.
Glaviens/Steadfasts
Too overpriced at the moment, all 3 boots will have same bonuses regardless of what combat style you use.


Rising Items/Expected to Rise
Rocktails
Heal much more in the EOC
Barrows, especially Dharoks
Dharoks will become the "new bandos" because of its boosting effects and low cost.
Arcane Spirit Shields/Sigil
They are being unaffected/getting a boost with the EOC, rest of the spirit shields are crashing.
Ragefire Boots
These will not be affected if worn with the wrong combat style. EX: Wearing ragefires for Melee or Range will still give the same bonus if you were to wear glaviens or steadfasts. Those two are crashing.
Royal Cross bow + Royal Bolts
Royal bow is getting a huge boost in EOC.
Royal Bolts have a strength bonus of 125 and can be used by any bow in eoc.
Warriors Ring
Will be the best non-imbued melee ring in EOC.
Full Verac + Akrisae + Karils Armour
Full Akrisae's (basically Ahrims with a heavy prayer bonus.)
Full Karil's (Equal to armadyl in stats but far, far cheaper.)
Full Verac (Huge prayer bonus, same stats as GWD sets and other barrows sets).
Summer Pies
Heal more than rocktails in EOC!
Master Wand
Will be the best one handed wand in game with lowest requirements in EOC.
Zamorakian Spear
Will have stats equal or around of a godsword
Blue Dragonhide/Blue Dragonleather/Blue dhide items
Blue dragonhide will become FREE TO PLAY = Ton of demand from F2P
Godswords and HILTS

Thanks for this! I was flipping and I saw a big drop in FURY's of about 400k in one hour… :P one hour later there was a big up of about 400k :P so it's obvious there are very many rich people dumping them, because they're in panic :) :) :)

I hope this will stay so because despite of the losses i made with fury, a lot of other items flip very well :)

(I flip most of the items you called above, lolzz)

Jake

2012-11-07 17:58:07

No Problem! :) And this is actually the perfect time to flip. I've been flipping divines. Bought one for 290m, sold it for 310m in a matter of minutes. :P

Master BAW

2012-11-07 17:58:53

Do you also have a list of new items? I'm interested in this becuase I like to know if there will be more items to flip. I have only about 15 good flippable items and that's not enough for 4 hours.

What I really would like to know: About how many new items will be there with EOC in price ranging from 2m-20m, AND: Will the 4hour-limits of all the new armour/weapons be 10, 100 or 2 or even 1?

SWEET!!:wowzers: :spot::spot:

But obviously overall items will CRASH , because most people will be SAVING money for the NEW Items! That makes sense? Or will there also be items disappearing?

Jake

New items will come out, They havent mentioned about any items disappearing. New Robes/God books/Etc will be coming out as far as i know.

I think the bots will stay so the demand and supply will stay the same so probably not

instead, I'd buy a lot of dragon claws just before the update or a few days before. I think they will be lowest at that time…

I can't believe why calws would drop so much, they're so cool :D

Hmm, thanks for the advice, but I have not that much money left to buy claws since I spent it all on other investments. WOuld rocktails be a good investment since they heal more in EoC?

Claws will have no more special. Making them useless. Most of the items I posted on the OP are having their specials removed = useless = crashing

@ Vaporak, In my honest opinion, stay away from chins. Goldfarmers are dumping so many of them. Wait a few days, and see how they are, and start from that.
EDIT: Yes Vaporak, you just reminded me, ROCKTAILS! Theyre going up.

Np, but you mentioned up there that Bandos is no longer special because Dharoks has around the same stats. So would it be good to sell my Bandos and buy Dharok?

Jake

2012-11-07 18:31:23

Correct, sell your bandos As soon as you can because Dharoks give about a +400 more boost than Bandos in EOC. And it costs way less as well, so get a hold of dharoks as soon as you can and sell bandos.

thanks i appreciate it. flipping today is super easy, turned around 113m profit in like hour and a half. be careful don't do big investment prices are too off from one item to the next. and they're fluctuating every few mins from different people dumping at different prices.

Bandos tasssys/chest is going about 1-4m below their current price.

@ John, Im not sure yet, Still browsing around to find some.
@ Footy, I think the price of GP will go down if the # of people who stop playing is actually large, wouldnt be a demand after EOC if this happens.

EDIT: Im gonna update thread every 6-7 hours or later. Currently away from home, and botting on my main.

Ditch the arma, stick with royal/Karils.
I added about 6-7 items which are like a MUST HAVE for the EOC.
Added about 2-3 items for a NOT HAVE for the EOC.
Off to sleep. I've made about 250 mil so far, good luck to everyone else who is flipping/stuck selling :P

Not sure completely about iron crossbows. Your choice to flip or hoard as much as you can. I'll look into this item And get back to you
EDIT: The wiki says iron cbows will remain members on EOC. I think people are just manipulating the item.

also I would say down because more people pvming but i could be wrong :S

@ Mr My opinion is that the prices of gold will go down. If a lot of people quit, there will be a less demand for gold. Rares will drop because of the Solomon store item. Less demand for gold
@ killer thanks for the read. See if you can get your hands on rock tails or brews to flip.
@ dynamite n I'm class at the moment. Play and test with the highest price and lowest price you can get for 1 rock tail and start from there.

I said if, I didn't say completely quit.
If you actually look at the forums on rs, you would understand how big of a deal this update is to those who are against it.
How about I give you a comparison to this update with the bot nuke about a year ago.
Bot nuke a year ago: most major bots down or gone for good. Legit players came back to the game, they legit played at common bot spots. Gold steadily went up. Prices of items sky rocketed
EOC in 2 weeks: unsure If bots will be down. Legit players are NOT happy with this update. So many claim to quit/go on leave status. No demand for gold = prices go down. So many items are crashing. Rares have a unstable market.. Gradually going down cause of the new Solomon update and panic sellers.

there just don't know a good thing when its infront of them! just look at say sof..
no one liked it at first but now I think everyone does.
and if you do still hate it your sir are an idoit. (it helps bring money into the game, maype the fact it makes the game easier you dislike but without the extra money the game would suck and wouldn't be worth playing. Also who hates fr33 st00f? :P)

You're entitled to your opinion, but I would rather have the game the way it is rather than having the eoc. I dont see how calling people idiots helps.
Beta was terrible, I did not like it.
Eoc makes the game easier, especially for power training. The instances they have for the eoc look terrible to me. This thread has been viewed so many times. The point of this thread was to discuss items, make money, and leave you the decision to keep playing or quit. The "extra money" may come into the game, but who gets it? It goes to those who scam, rwt, goldfarmers, and so on. It does not go to those who legit
Back to your point where the game gets easier, this means items are being devalued badly, that's actually a loss of money to those who can't sell their items in time.

valid point but a majority of people who say they are going to quit are annoying me.
yes you may dislike eoc and I can see why you dislike it but the game needs to adapt if it want's to be the best in the market.
however I would personally like to have seen eoc being rs3 and keeping rs2 active at the same time.

If the demand for them is exceptional, (with everyone rushing to buy them), the price should rise a lot over the next few days. However, they will most likely fall a bit closer to the release of EOC as demand goes down.

Once EOC releases, I predict that they will go down a fair bit as everyone starts to do Barrows more often. With combat being a lot easier, and barrows getting buffed, a lot of people are going to do the minigame and thus increase the amount of items in the game.

That makes sense. Well I got my investments and all my armor bought. Looks like I'm just going to bunker down till all this EoC panic dies down.
EDIT: If Barrows armours are so much better in the Beta, I'd expect Jagex to nerf the rates for obtaining them from Barrows.

Man, If I got my hands on ragefires, I would be selling them for 1-2m over their market price, because people are so desperate for them on the forums. Or better yet hold them till the EOC and then sell. Good luck with the arcane, I havent had the chance to snipe one from the GE, being hoarded badly :/

Thanks for the response, I have 3 ragefires right now in my bank to sell when EOC comes. I couldn't get the arcane as people already sold them all.
What else could I merch ? As some things are probably going down already.

Nice, I might try something like that

He might actually be able sell some if he didn't state he had so many. For me that would make me consider looking for someone else to buy from first.

Rings of recoil, sapphire rings and maybe sapphires because ring of recoil now gives hp exp they should be used a lot for raising hp and not combat lvl. Ice barrage now only uses 2 bloods and 5 waters and ice burst uses 2 deaths and 4 waters so their should be alot of people using deaths and bloods.


http://services.runescape.com/m=forum/l=0/sl=0/forums.ws?311,312,0,63935928
Are Rings of Recoil meant to give Constitution XP?

This is probably to do with the way we changed how XP works (now being granted on death instead of on hit). So, not an intentional change, but one we are happy to leave in.





Why were blood/death runes removed from higher levelled spells, is this so more players can afford to cast the spells, making Magic a more open option to people?

Magic was too expensive to cast. All offensive spells had their rune costs reduced to make magic less expensive to train. Additionally the basic Air spells now only cost Air runes to cast, so are free to use when wielding an Air Staff.

So do you think that bloods/deaths will drop? I have 100k of each because I bought them over a month ago thinking that they would go up. I was going to sell them now because I thought they were going to lower because of the EOC. Do you suggest I keep them for now though, hoping they'll go up? ;o

Jake

2012-11-09 15:25:04

The only reason They are dropping now is because goldfarmers are dumping millions of deaths and bloods onto the market.

Or another option could be that new spells may be added to the spellbooks in the EOC. As of right now, I would only flip deaths/bloods, not really hold as an investment for a while at the moment.

Ill consider adding deaths/bloods in the coming week/end of next week. If they become stable but go to their lowest, go for em and pick em. As for now, sell/flip them.

meh I'm expericenced but I don't make much cause tbh to the more money you have means you have to but less effort in.
so with my pile im making a decent 1m in a hour by just setting my flips up in 5mins. but jakee is making 100m because he can afford the more expensive items and he can buy a lot more of the cheap items at once.

Jake

2012-11-09 15:48:05

To make big profits via flipping, you're gonna need a good amount of money to start with.
Low starting cash piles -> Cheaper items such as claws/runes
Higher cash piles -> armour sets/bandos/ and eventually to divines/elysians if you can afford them and able to snipe them for a good price.

As of right now, I cant get my hands on divines or elysians anymore. Too many people have started flipping along with me ;) Hopefully the street price is settled soon

I've got a current cash pile of about 75m. I am realy scared of flipping bandos sets etc. with this low amount of cash, I only try merching ragefire boots as they're going up by quit a bit, I also merch the barrow sets you listed.
I'd like to start flipping but i don't want to risk it too much.

Credit isn't necessary, but heres a few reasons i think deaths and bloods will rise atleast in long term so maybe they aren't good for flipping.
Bursting and barraging at rock lobsters or ape atoll skeletons, currently gives you around 400k xp an hour. Staves will do 150% damage. They are adding more spawns everywhere and increasing the spawn rate almost everywhere. But protect from melee will only protect 50% of the damage so skeletons might not work anymore but, rock lobsters can be safe spotted.

http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Evolution_of_Combat
[We] are greatly reducing the Combat XP for fighting creatures more than 30 levels below you. Drops and Slayer XP will remain the same. As I mentioned above, all NPCs are being rebalanced with this in mind. […]

Since we don’t have any top-end training creatures in the game yet, players with a very high Combat level will find this 30 level range increased to 50 - at least until we release some bigger training dungeons! You’ll still be able to train on creatures that are much less powerful than you, but training on things like rock crabs and cows will now only be effective at low levels - as it should be. We will be adding faster and more numerous spawn points all over the game to cope with the change.

After looking at the ge section on the homepage and checking the price of the runes in the ge, the ge on the homepage hasnt updated in 3 days…

Im mixed on the runes market, but bob brings up very good points. If summoning is not nerfed in the eoc, then hold onto the runes.

What was wrong with how (e) bolts used to work - crossbows fired rune bolts, rune (e) and below?

The damage of these bolts ramps up as they get tipped and enchanted, so the requirement ramps up alongside it. Currently we have no lvl 60 and lvl 70 crossbow capable of firing these bolts so I can understand how it would feel odd having the requirements there. However, we fully intend on releasing crossbows in this tier so that those who do not have chaotics can use the bolts.

Special Attacks

There are no special attacks in the EoC (they’ve essentially been replaced by abilities) but there has been consistent feedback from yourselves that you like the current special attacks and would like to retain them.

Firstly, in the current beta, God Swords now have passive effects that are similar to their special-attack counterparts.

The list of items and effects as follows. All have a 1/4 chance on hit to do the following:

Armadyl: Increases Attack and Strength stats.
Bandos: Decreases targets defence if they are above a certain base Defence level.
Saradomin: Heals some of your base life and prayer points.
Zamorak: Stuns your target.
Enchanted Excalibur (off-hand): Heals some base life points, which are boosted if the player has completed the elite tasks.

We are going to monitor how these work and potentially add similar passive effects to other items in the future, too.

Yeah, I believe only the AGS and SGS are dropping though, and BGS and ZGS are rising due to their low price. I bought a few ZGS's to short-term merch atm ;), I believe that might be the best GS after EoC is released due to the 1 in 4 chance of it stunning your opponent, those are a lot of stuns over time >.<

I guess so.
Few months of powermining = cause ores to go up
When ores reach a specific point, Im expecting people to stop dropping their ores, and start banking. More people would join and do the same thing, ores will drop, and repeat from powermining. Just my thought.

As a personal aside, I do wish people would stop using the word 'crashing' every time something's price is dropping. Crashing is to dropping as skyrocketing is to rising, and we don't say a price is skyrocketing every time it goes up.

If something's price is currently in free fall, it's perfectly fine to say it's crashing; a change of 2-3% isn't exactly free fall, but everyone treats it like it is. Call me a pedant.
