    Default Say goodbye to rares!

    "There's crazy stuff like the duplicator, which has a 50/50 chance of duplicating any tradeable item you own, or destroying it. Or the Calling perk, that summons a signature hero like the Raptor to fight beside you. It all looks awesome, too:"


    new skill for runescape.

    ofc its a gamble but still :P

    There has to be a catch. Someone could make bank off of it.

    They should make it a 40-60 thing so it acts as an item sink slightly.

    Who would take the risk with a 50% chance? If anything it would encourage gambling and more addicts.

    Although the odds of another party hat are quite high (50%), say your chance of winning a hand of blackjack or roulette. Could be a good way for those with some extra cash to get their thrills

    I disagree. It's like staking - across a long enough timeline, you lose. You can win an (almost) infinite amount, but you can only lose so much.

    They've said that there will be a white-list of items that you can't use with the duplicator, and that includes discontinued rares.

    No, with this duplicator, you'll break even.

    Depends on how many you start with I think. If you only have one there's a 50% chance you'll lose it and then you have no more to try.

    I also doubt runescape would allow rares to be duplicated... they didn't allow it the first time lol

    You'll always get cleaned in long run with gambling unless you have an infinite amount. The more rolls you do the bigger the chance of a long enough bad streak.

    Rares won't be included for obvious reasons.
    It's not 50/50, it's against wealth-gain.
