 I'm about to leave RS for quite a while. Maybe a few months.

Was wondering, anyone gone any idea about an item which is likely to go up? No idea how predictable the market is anymore. Figured I may as well invest in something anyway.

Or is it too hard to tell?

 The market generally goes down. Best investment is no investment. Stock rune I suppose.

 Well, it kind of depends, but yea for the most part, there is more supply than demand on drops. Sometimes you just gotta guess, or look for expected RS updates and buy into that. For instance, what I did, when BH came out, was invest in food and potions (at that point there was no pking at all). Made about 40m from that. But idk what you'd invest in at the moment, haven't looked into it.

Don't think for discontinued items, they can go down like crazy and rarely go up.

Great idea. Yeah, I did the same with rune sets and got 4-5m out of it. Can't think of any impending updates like that though.

 When I left for a long time, I converted everything into cash. When I came back, dharoks and karils was up, guthans had dropped, rares had crashed. I had almost invested in rares, but didn't, it was a good thing.

If anything was to go up... hmm... The staples. The things that are bought and sold by the hundreds and thousands, and are used for skilling. Those might very well go up, as they did between my leaving and ending.


If pure essence is on a downswing, I would suggest that.

 Maybe dragonhides, or gems.
I bought 70k sapphires a year ago expecting myself to get 92 crafting, and I have yet to use them. I believe they are now up 20 to 30 each.

 Rares are a bad idea, when I was thinking of quitting (and left for a few months) I stocked masks

Red -20M
Green -10Mx2
Blue - 13mx2
down 56m fzw

You might actually be safe buying masks, they can't really go down much more

Yeah Rune sets are gonna skyrocket... well pretty much everything PKing-related.

That is IF BH re-opens... I have my doubts.

Not to mention Jagex are considering worlds with PvP only in the wilderness. I expect the price of a basic rune set to hit 300k and a proper war set at 400k within the year, if not higher.

Stock up on the r00n. Well worth it cool.gif

PS. This sucks for all us poor fgts

 Here is my advice, instead of leaving RS completely log on for about 2 minutes each day. Find a highly traded item that is not going to fluctuate very much and buy a whole bunch at nearly minimum price. You will want to buy at min plus a few gp so your price is slightly more competitive. Then when you get some, sell them at maximum price, but subtract a few gp. Then basically repeat this process every day, and you will slowly but surely notice your money grow.

There is very low risk with this method of merchanting, and it will probably get you much more than if you were simply to invest.

First point, Um What?

To quote Mod MMG directly "BH is so close it hurts" and from what I have heard from both him and Andrew it is either going to be tonight (Weds) or next week that it comes out. I can't see any reason for BH not to return, it would be like them taking out the wilderness all over again.

For point two, um, that is the new BH.

Bounty hunter will be the 'old wilderness' area, no more crappy craters taking up space (so sadly, probably no more BH bank as the only 'BH bank' will be edgeville).

I can't see rune rising that high, it hasnt been that kind of price since RSC and just because BH is back won't make it climb that high. I could see it getting to maybe 250-275k in the week of BH return then settling back to around 200k. It will not 'keep' rising for more than a week though, as with any market, demand will drop as it rises and rune miners etc. will become more active as rune becomes more worthwile to mine.

And I have stocked up well, with over 40m invested in BH supplies neko2.gif

Point 1: Remember it is Jagex, we could expect them to do something like that

Point 2: It's like 3:20 AM and I cbf arguing so yeah I agree
