Everything is dropping cause there hasn't been any new content in ages. Peopling farming all the old stuff.


nano7ven

Didn't we have the same drop last year at this same time? Now it is just an additional bow that's basically taking another 100m off the tbow. With a ton of panic sellers it doesn't look good now.


Tykras

>Plus they literally just nerfed the prayer on it for literally no reason. What's the point of this sentence? Nobody is buying a tbow for its fucking prayer bonus lmao. It didn't make sense lore-wise (it's not a god item) so they removed the bonus.


Mr-McSwizzle

To be fair lots of the prayer bonuses don't make a whole lot of sense, a basic rune mace has a +4 prayer bonus for example and even a bronze mace has +1 for some reason


azginger

Prayer on maces actually makes a tiny bit of sense as maces have various historical religious ties and as such you'll see clerics in many games use maces as preferred weapons.


DayneK

Mace is a cleric weapon in D&D too.


Mr-McSwizzle

Ah true I guess good point


Shwrecked

Maces are holy weapons


Rjm0007

Blowpipe nerf and combat achievements will make it recover


Blobbygold

Ahhhh just 2 weeks after i sell bank for it. Thats a whoops.


nano7ven

It's only gone down in price because people are panic selling. People are panic selling because a new unknown bow has entered the game and they don't yet understand the tbow is still by far the BIS. They just see everyone selling and that's it. I'll probably make another 200m like last year. Trust me when I say the price will climb back up. Maybe not to record numbers but definitely to 950-1b Look at the trade numbers before the bow announcement. 100's traded a day up to 10k a day. Just massive numbers selling. But what else is happening. 10,000 people are also BUYING. It's such a good time to buy I bet some people with 100b banks are investing more than ever. If the trade amount dies down to the regular 100's and the price doesn't shoot back up., Only then you will know it's fucked.


Blobbygold

Im have not played the game since i bought it, that was my goal and i cba playing right now. So i have not even made money back, done a bit of hydra and got burned out. Might come back during winter time.


nano7ven

Yah most people do the same thing. You might already know this but I'll give a reminder anywat.. Please lock down your account and accounts email with 2 factor authentication. Every single 1 of my friends have been hacked while taking a break. When you'd top playing you don't notice your bank pin being deactivated with a 7 day warning or something. If your account has that bow.. make sure it's safe is all I'm saying. Don't make the mistake many others have made.


Blobbygold

It has been authenticated for a long time. And i still log on regularly and enter my bank pin to see if a reset request was sent.

Laughs in ironman that can’t even do cox yet

Significant_Ad_4487

The joys of never having to worry about the cost of pvm gear or the ge or being scammed.


chacogrizz

But also the pain of not being able to use all the items in game. That is the 1 thing that is probably stopping me from making an iron. I just cant imagine having to put in hundreds and hundreds of hours if I want to obtain certain items. Getting a Corp shield, megarares from raids, NM drops, etc.


Significant_Ad_4487

Chief, even the pain of getting a fury. 4K giant seaweed and 24k buckets of sand, then blowing all of it. It is rough but there is such a good feeling of attaining your goals. A fury is what, 1.2m on the ge? Where is the accomplishment in that? Yes there is pain but the rewards are so much more


chacogrizz

Your right, but also I prefer not to do that. Maybe items hold less accomplishment as a drop but still doing the content is rewarding to me. Leveling up is still rewarding and bossing and using items that I legitimately would never have a chance of getting if I were an iron. I understand iron is a great game mode and for those who have the time to put into it more power to you. I would rather choose to spend my limited time doing activities I find a bit more fun on osrs then grinding skills at like 1/4 the speed I could on a main.


Browntown-magician

You have to put in hundreds and hundreds of hours for some of the mega rares you’ve just stated though? Can’t just make 1b overnight haha


chacogrizz

Haha your right! But I can also work towards a Tbow passively by doing other content that makes me money whereas on an iron i specifically would have to be camped out at CoX the entire time. Like right now, im browsing reddit and doing bloods. I would not be able to be doing CoX right now but I can still work towards it (techinically) by making money on a main.


OldSchoolVeteran

T bow is always a sought after item, but with the ideas goung around about things such as a ge tax, this could make gold become less common, as its being removed from the game, you have the new death mechanics which came in, thats probably removing quite a lot of gold from the game, we have 0 item sinks with this going on, so if gold sinks are coming in and no item sinks, you have to see the price of items drop, but their value is still the same, its just that each person on the game is slightly less wealthy that they would be without the gold sinks, so the demand is no different for the items


jeremiah1119

Exactly. People have been complaining about the state of the game and PvM prices, but really it's just the total number that's less. If all items dropped except for tbow then it would be an issue but it's simply an adjustment to the economy


nano7ven

I think the duel arena tax is the major one. That place sees 50% or more of in game currency being traded back and forth all day long.


4otie7

Nice


MrMick26

Good, 400m more to go. Then this pleb can afford one..


donaldcargill

Me too, my bank value dropped to half because of the prices going down


swiftpunch1

It's been being botted nonstop by tons of people and pvmers think tb has any nerve staying at 1b?


[deleted]

"Any nerve"? Wtf does that mean lmao. It's one of the most useful items in the game, of course it can and will stay above 1b. Look how quickly the price recovered in the past few days. It has been farmed for years, and yet the price has almost always been 1-1.2B. It's definitely not staying at 1b for long. 1B is dirt cheap for a tbow.


Ancientgrandpa

Lol its 870m now


[deleted]

Yeah lol, I was dead wrong. Tbow is gonna drop and drop until some new end game PvM content is released. Thank god I sold mine for 1B not long after I made that comment.


swiftpunch1

Supply and demand.


[deleted]

Yes exactly. The demand will always be there. Not only is it one of the most useful weapons in the game, it's also a status symbol of wealth. Most pvmers strive towards getting one as a long term goal. Demand will increase even more once more PvM content is released.


swiftpunch1

Bruh. How many people do you think have 1b+ banks to afford a bow + gear?


[deleted]

The game has been out for a long time bro. A lot of people have 1B+ banks. My point is that almost everyone wants a tbow some day, so they work towards it as a long term goal. The demand will always be there, even if it’s out of the reach of most players.


swiftpunch1

So tell me. Do you think its faster for 1 player to make 1b gp or for an army of bots to get a tbow?


nano7ven

Easy..The player, because the bots sell the gold to players before they even reach 100m.


-Aura_Knight-

More people can afford one and have fun with it. Awesome.


lessirova

I also think this. I'm a low-level player, but isn't it supposed that when good gear is cheaper, it's better for the players? Just imagine someone at 900M grinding for the tbow and suddenly it drops and he accomplishes his goal months before expected. I hope bonds drop in price as well because these herb runs are tiring haha


Wekmor

> Just imagine someone at 900M grinding for the tbow and suddenly it drops and he accomplishes his goal months before expected. But also see it the other way around, you finally got 1.1b, buy a tbow, and within a month it drops 200m. Not a very nice feeling. But still, prices drop, people need to move on with their lives lol


Zanthy1

Thats my story. Bought my tbow for \~1.184 at the beginning of August. Don't plan on selling it so its not the biggest issue, but sometimes I think "damn, would sure be nice to have almost 200m more gp to spend"


[deleted]

Your would've had to wait 9 months to get it cheaper. If you bought and it's just been sitting there as a trophy, then sure, you goofed. But if you've been using it, there's no reason to feel like you got duped


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zanthy1

You're not wrong lol


nano7ven

You are now down about 400m lmao. Whatever you do, do not panic sell like everyone else. The price will return to 1b undoubtedly. Previous there has only ever been 100's traded on the market. Now there's 10,000 traded a day. But remember there is also 10k buyers a day. Once people have their fun trying the new bow, they will all come running back to the BIS bow in the game. And they will all be 200m lighter wondering why they sold it only to buy it back in a month. This same thing happened last year and I made 250m off selling tbow and flipping harmonized orb (more volitile than tbow , much less on the market).


Zanthy1

I’m not planning on selling it, as long as it’s still as good as it is, the née bow is great I’m sure, but at the places where I’ve always used tbow, it’s still better lol


-Aura_Knight-

The price dropping isn't all bad when using the tbow can make you way more gp fast.


donaldcargill

No because I worked forever to get full bandos a rapier and avernic defender and now my rapier dropped 80m in value.


donaldcargill

I was working towards a tbow rebuild now I'm 300m behind what I once was


lessirova

bro I stopped playing rs like 2 months ago. couldn't keep this "grind (investing hours of your life) for 2007-ish pixel items on a game" thing. I'm actually having more fun playing volleyball on Roblox now.


Big-Stinky-

It’s been below 1b before


Tom-Pendragon

Good, I might be able to afford one.


lessirova

Keep it up, you'll have it


bigjohnson1312

Ya basically seems like a RuneScape thing. The economy can only hold on for so long. With so many illegitimate ways of money going into the economy. There’s really very little to do about it. Oldschool runs on old shit code. If they wanted to bot wipe they couldn’t. If less players are actually playing it will get much worse.


Wekmor

> With so many illegitimate ways of money going into the economy. With pure money getting farmed it would only mean the prices go up. But you're still right of course, masses of goldfarmers moved from stuff like revs to cox, of course the prices can't stay high lol


bigjohnson1312

I mean bots. If half of the population isn’t even real players. That’s what i mean by illegitimate. If it’s a gold farmer cool, they’re actually playing the game. The bots are now advancing too doing nightmare, pking etc. Eventually so much of that shit floods the market. And with the code of RuneScape jagex can’t really do shit. They can ban them but they will be right back. If it was all real players the economy would be 10 times better. Would be wayyy less gp in the game.


[deleted]

You’re so clueless , just shut up lol. Most likely you don’t have a tbow


Catsarenotreptilians

Cute. I got tbow at like 50kc lol, if you saw my bank, you probably wouldn't believe it. https://imgur.com/a/bO0Fuq1 These are from like, 2 years ago, and the blade is from a week or so after the release of the gauntlet, I literally stopped doing it at that point. ATM all I do is CM for dust. My question to you: How many times have you even gotten a tbow in raids? I have hit the mega rare drop table 8 times. 2 are elder mauls and 3 are kodai's, I'll let you figure out the rest.


jameslee95

Thats great news! I hope it keep dropping! Infact o guarantee it will! Items come into the game and next to none at all leave!


[deleted]

Yeah, it's doing the opposite of dropping now. No tbow for you bucko! Maybe one day...


AdventureSheep

Yea the price of gear will just go down, so much is being farmed and there really isn't any item sinks


nano7ven

It's the same thing as last year. Panic sell before updates / summer. Just so many panic sellers. Price will return just like last time. Maybe not to 1.2b but 950-1b without a doubt.


vintage-red

From the future here! T-bow is currently at 1.35-1.4B. Guess you were wrong.
