Bigger Banks & Treasure Trails

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Runescape Guide

Bigger bank space
As promised we have now increased the size of your bank accounts. We have increased the size of both free and members banks by 25%. So free users get another 12 slots and members get another 48.
Treasure trails
Today we have released treasure trails into RuneScape. Various npcs on members servers will now ocassionaly drop random clues.

Each clue points to the location of another random clue. Solve enough clues (and maybe face one or two other challenges) and you will eventually find treasure, which could be anything from food or weapons to various rare items which can only be found on treasure trails.

Stronger monsters will tend to drop harder clues which will tend to lead towards more valuable treasure. Be warned the hardest clues are very tricky indeed.

You can’t be on more than one treasure trail at once. If you have a clue, npcs won’t drop more clues until you solve the trail you are on, or you abandon the trail by dropping your current clue.

Treasure clue are a fairly rare drop. A similar sort of rarity to low level gems, although not necessarily on the same monsters. If you just keep playing normally you will get them as a pleasant suprise from time to time.

Good luck and happy treasure hunting!

Set Combining or Splitting

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Beginners' Guide

Another technique is to work with armour sets. Occasionally an armour set can be bought, split up into its component parts, and sold for a profit. Occasionally, the reverse will be true: the component parts could be bought and the armour set could then be sold for a profit.

Be aware that this method is only for experienced merchants, price changes must be monitored on not just one item, but sometimes five items or more simultaneously (the set price and all the component prices). Unexpected trouble obtaining or selling one of the component parts can quickly turn a profit into a large loss.

This method is extremely difficult (and not recommended) for F2P merchants, as they only have 2 slots to work with.

edit Potion Decanting

The Method

Bob Barter, the potion decanter and herb expert of the Grand Exchange

Potion decanting is a great way of making money for the lower levels. In fact, you don’t need any levels at all to use this method for making money! This involves converting potions into a different doses to sell for a greater value than the original potion. Although currently on the GE a potion’s value is simply based on the amount of doses it has (a 2-dose is always half the value of a 4-dose potion), the potions’ values fluctuate in the min/max price range, and therefore the actual price鈥攖he price at which a dose can be sold on the GE鈥攐f a 2-dose potion may be higher or lower than that of a 4-dose potion.

One example of a potion to decant would be the Antifire potion: Buy a set (at the mid price or lower) of, let’s say 100 Antifire potion(3). Go to the Grand Exchange, and go to the southwest corner where Bob Barter is. Right click him, and select “decant”. He will then turn all 1, 2, and 3 does potions into the 4 dose versions of each. This is essentially him using them all with each other, like players can do. Doing this with several inventories of potions converts the 100 (3) antifires into 75 Antifire potion(4), which can then sell for a higher price than the component parts (in this example, above the mid price). This is typically not a great profit-making scheme, but if the demand is there, profits can be increased proportionally with the investment.

How the Grand Exchange works

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Beginners' Guide

Understanding the Grand Exchange is important to trading. Free players may have 2 slots, while members may have 6. Players may not sell an item immediately after buying it, or buy an item immediately after selling it. More specifically, when an item is traded, a timer of exactly 4 hours is started, and the opposite transaction for this type of item may only be conducted when the timer has expired. The timer does not start over if additional items are traded. For example, if you were to buy some nature runes at 2 p.m., you may be able to buy more at 5 p.m. but still be able to sell all of them at 6 p.m. when the original timer expires.

There is no limit to the amount of items a player may sell in any given time period. However, all items have limits on the number that can be bought in a given time period. This also uses the 4 hour timer.

Not all items have the same buy limit. The following are buy limits for a selection of items:

  • Runes, essence, flax, logs, ores: 25,000
  • Bars, bolts, arrows, feathers, ashes, herblore seconds, dragon leathers, planks, food: 10,000
  • 4-dose potions and summoning pouches: 5,000
  • Most cheap armour and weapons (up to rune): 100
  • Battlestaves: 100
  • Most amulets and rings: 100
  • Most expensive armour and weapons (barrows, 3rd age, godwars, pvp): 10
  • Rares and spirit shields: 2

If an offer is placed in the Grand Exchange, and it is a valid offer (not still on the timer), the game will search for all offers meeting your price or better, and instantly complete those trades, getting the prices of the already existing offers (not some sort of compromise price). If the offer is then not fully completed, it will wait until it is found by people placing in offers. Thus, all trades occurring in the Grand Exchange occur instantly for one person and not instantly for the other.

Basically, if you are trying to merchant, you do not want your half of the deal to be the instant half because you could have gotten a better price by waiting.

It also is important not to panic while trying to buy or sell items when you still may be on the timer, because your trade will not be completed no matter how good your offer is. Many people appear to not understand this, and put in buy offers for maximum or sell offers for minimum when they are locked out. Then, when their timer expires, the offer becomes valid and is snapped up by a lucky person.

A common misconception about the Grand Exchange is attaching special meaning to the median price. In reality, the median price is the average price of yesterday’s trades and may no longer be relevant.

In general, items are always rising in price or falling in price. If an item is rising in price, an attempt to sell it for median price will be instantly completed, and an attempt to buy for median price will not be instantly completed. The opposite is true for items falling in price.

Imagine that you could buy an item instantly, then sell it instantly. As an example, let’s say that whips are 1,800k median price, and you instantly buy for 1,850k, and instantly sell for 1,801k. This means that at the current time it is possible to buy or sell whips for any price between those two, but not outside this range. Of course, if you were buying, you would want to buy for maybe 1,802k, and if you were selling, you’d want to sell for maybe 1,849k. You want to be the person who gets a good deal by getting people’s instantly completed offers. You want to pay as little as possible, or sell for as much as possible, so that you beat out the next person in line for those instantly completed offers.

Notice the characteristics of this example: the item is rising in price, so the best buy offer is just above median price, but the best sell offer is much more above median price. If the item is falling in price, the best sell offer is just below median price, but the best buy offer is much more below median price. This model is not true if the rate of price change is too high; in some cases, an item may be completely bought out at the maximum price, or completely dumped at the minimum price.

How to Keep Your Runescape Bank Organised 90% of the Time!

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Skills

I don’t know if the spots were put there on purpose or not, but I hope they don’t take if away. The spots are a fun part of the mini game where player.

Are you tired of spending an hour every day organising your bank because you just can’t seem to keep your items in place? Read this..and you might just learn something.

First, I’d like to thank you for being interested in this guide.

I’ll be explaining you how to keep your RuneScape bank organised 90% of the time. Reason for me saying 90% is because it is nearly possible (still possible) to keep your bank organised 100% of the time. Either if it’s new items that came out, or when you take the item out, for example a purple party hat, the slots “shift” and you lose the place. The only way to not have that happen is if you have two sets of a party hat. But I’ll explain how to still keep it organised with only 1 set items.

First, I recommend you in putting your Coins in the first slot of the bank. Then put anything after that. I recommend you in putting Runes together, thus making is easier to teleport when in a hurry. Also put all ores together with the bars. If you have raw items, for example: Raw Sharks, cook them. They give you experience, and is now good for eating!

I strongly recommend you in putting 2 or even 3 Raw Sharks as a bank holder. This will never be used, and is here so that your bank doesn’t “slide” when taken out. Do this for all the “cheap” based items, like runes, ores, gems, etc.

The Not-So-Easy-Type to keep organised.

Some items are too much of a hassle to buy in 2 sets. As my example earlier, if you’re a fan of rares it’s always good to keep them at the bottom of your bank. Unless you can afford 2, but let me explain if you’re a person who could only afford 1 of an item. For example full dragon. Could be expensive, and just a hassle to buy two, which doesn’t help you in RuneScape other than keeping your bank organised. Keep your armour, weapons and anything you like to wear at the bottom of your bank. Therefor you can easily take it out, and put it back in the same order after.

If your bank is un-organised, spend 30 minutes orgranising it, (yes it could take that long, even up to an hour). It makes you feel proud and ever time you open your bank you see a wonderful organised wealth of yours.

Good luck!
