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.
meh 75m is a nice amount imo, I'v only got 17m :/Quote:

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.

[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.
edit:i just instant bought a death rune for 172gp
So you're saying that they'll probably rise then compared to what they are now?Quote:

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...
I think either Jagex is doing this personally to manipulate/hide the drastic price declines of items or their database crashed.
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.
Strength potions usually spike with release any f2p combat update and they are already at a low price from bxp weekend. buy limit is only 1k/4hrs
strength(4) itemdb 837 ingame 878
strength(3) itemdb 593 ingame 619
strength(2) itemdb 486 ingame 473
strength(1) itemdb 234 ingame 236 high alch 360
Oh, he updated his post since the last time I saw it >.< And yeah, I'll keep those points in mind Bob. Thanks! I'll hold onto them for now.Quote:

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.
Hey Jackee add Death/Blood runes to crashing.
Reason: Not needed for a lot of spells anymore (casting air blast is now free with an air staff.)
still loving this. turned around 1.2b profit so far.
Wow, tell me how? :DQuote:

any ideas how high arcane shield will go up by?
People are going as high as 90 Mil, street right now is around 70-80Mil

Add the BGS and the ZGS to that list ;). They're rising now due to their announced new effects in the EoC. Here's the link from yesterday:
http://services.runescape.com/m=news...coming-changes
Oh my, so many items crashing/rising.
I alched my claws :c
:confused:Really!!? I don't think claws will got the value less than 81,000Quote:

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 >.<Quote:

According to EOC, Skilling will be much faster.
Do you guys think that items like iron will rise since most people powermine them.
Probably.Quote:

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.
I checked the stats and it seems the Bandos shield is cheaper than the DFS but stronger in the Beta...
then invest in bandos shields?Quote:

Dragon claws current street price is 5m and dropping faster than a pre-teen's balls when his mom hires a hot babysitter.
That's pretty fast :garfield:Quote:

E: 1111 Post count :D
Another thing, the Blessed Spirit shield has the same stats as the Warshield and is half the price. So that also means the blessed spirit shield is better than the DFS defence wise.
invested 300m in rocktails hopefully ill make 10m profit.
lol, sorry I find that funny :') if I put 300m into a merch i'd expect 40-50 profit :PQuote:
