I've been digging a lot through item prices in the early history of RSC, and one item that changed a lot in value there was: Addy kite. Dropped from 900k to 30k in a couple months. And this was in 2001. The equivalent today would be approximately like a 2.5b item dropping to 80m in 2-3 months.
gloves are much much rarer, plus even on an iron you can do like 5-6 meds an hour, or just get them organically as you level up slayer. Have fun farming 1k+ elites.

@@mikekrawczyk but my original comment was more or less saying if that had never happened to the first runescape, the game would probably still be massive today
Surprised you didn't mention the crystal seed, which used to sit around 3-5k each prior to Priff being added. It peaked at over 400k in 2022 and is still sitting at around 160k currently
RS3's archer ring used to be around 30k since 2014 due to Jagex accidentally handing a player MILLIONS of them during an item restoration process, last year they created new BiS rings that require 10 of Dagannoth King rings to be made and now Archer Rings have been hovering around 18-20m for a good while. Likewise, Seers' Ring was sub-100k prior to it and now sits at the same price range as Archers. There were also Cinderbane Gloves that on release had a very high drop rate and were worth just a meager million. Drop rate was nerfed and the gloves peaked at 143m. Heh, this makes me hope that one day OSRS will start making use of old items so that they won't become absolutely worthless like Treasure Trails is full of these days. Just some actual use for them.
dont forget about rs3s treasure trail items ;) a lot of them was just like osrs clue items then invention apeard. dragon hatchet was also a item that increased a lot in price from that some time later and several other items atleast for a period increased a LOT but clue items was 100% the biggest increase. like comp bows. they give fortunate componets. each fort is aroun 1.5m in value +/- 100k and was probably like 1k if that before invention. thats a 1500x increase over the years.
years back we bought 300m red spider eggs together with 6 others before the bot nuke, for less than 80 gp ea, sold them 2 days after the bot nuke for 1200-1400 ea
I can’t remember when , if it was osrs or not. But climbing boots were 2 coins each and then they changed them to rock climbing boots back in the day. Pures and Mains in the PK community had hundreds or thousands of these in their banks at a time for return sets. That update made them 1000000x the cost and a lot of people cashed out big.
It happened in mainscape and you're overshooting the increase just a bit. :D The boots went up to 75k and there definitely was an uproar about how this benefited people who had happened to own a lot of them.
yes, he missed this. This was the biggest from like 2gp to 75,000. One guy showed a screenshot of hoarding them, he had 211k boots which automatically became rock climbing boots, so do the math 75,000 x over 200,000. You can say that guy became a happy man.
Man... Right before the Zulandra teleport update I sank ALL my gp into best in slot, supplies and TONS on zulandra teleports in hopes to grind out pet and max cash. Got 1.6B selling the teleports sold all the supplies and gear and had max cash after 3 days haha
Big love for my Eldritch and Harmonised Orb, big big upgrades for a 1 def pure and seeing the price increase 10 fold on the Eldritch was mind blowing, I knew people didn't seem to understand how great it was with Lightbearer.
There's 2 reasons the ely went to 1.1/1.2 that you didn't cover. Ely first went nuclear when soul wars came out bc it was bis at the pvp minigame, i had it at that time and i went 1,150+ Also people were buying it in preparation for nex, thats the 2nd reason it went over 1b.
I managed to flip a bunch of bgs's when they buffed it and used to profit to buy a dhcb for the fashionscape that they ended up buffing shortly after. Literally made my entire account.
I remember when I played years and years ago and climbing boots got changed to cost from like... 10gp to like 100k? Or something.. so pures would have something to risk... And one mod told a guy it was an incoming change and this guy stockpiled hundreds of thousands of boots lol
I think it would be an interesting concept if a feature would be added so that we can Invest money into a certain item. For the 3rd age pickaxe, for example, just adding a certain amount for it, and keeping it there. It would help you progress slowly towards a high priced item.
The Elysian increased to 1.2b dec 2021 because people thought it would be good at nex which released in January. Same thing happened with the spectral. I made over 400m just on spectrals alone 😂
15:10 Yeah, this mechanic is ridiculous in theory. I mean, imagine if the best in slot boots for ranged were made using a clue item. Then, the non clue item, despite being a unique item dropped by a level 91 slayer boss would barely be worth more than alch value! Thank goodness Jagex would never do such a thing. 😅
I gotta say that I've thought "I should probably invest in that, it's worthless and could find some use one day" and then I don't do it and years later it's worth 10x or more it's old value.
Medium clues vs Elite clues. They are also rarer than Ranger Boots per roll while keeping in mind you can't really farm elite clues like you can mediums via implings.
Haha you hurt my feelings when you said it was absurd to take a clue item and turn it into a BIS item, but I still don’t have ranger boots on my iron 😑
The orbs pricing makes me sick. I had both the green and blue orbs last year testing the specs on the staff. Sold both bc neither of them were really worth a shit for me for anything. Im fucking sick knowing I could’ve made 290m if I just waited like a month. Makes me so mad.
Flipping: Taking an item that is only obtainable from a clue scroll and having it turn into a best in slot item is absurd. Allow me to present the Pegasian boots.
hey man,was wondering if your still working on your serious of flipping to max gear?its been a while since you uploaded anything and i my memory serves me right you statad that your doing more quick flipping instead of long time investments
I mean this is pretty old but back in RS3, I believe it was pre-eoc, when they first made climbing boots tradeable on the GE and the price went from 12gp each to 10k. Most pures already had a climbing boot collection since it was the only option for pking and pvming on a pure. In a day your 1k stack of climbing boots went from no value/12K to 10m. And there were people who were into collecting climbing boots since they weren't easy to obtain and their 10k+ stacks turned into 100m+, all overnight. It was crazy. I was so mad I only had 20 pairs lol
This is old school RuneScape, party hats on the main game (known as rs3) are worth billions now. They were introduced into old school just as a cosmetic and not a limited run of supply so everyone can have em.
One thing that’s odd is, when you were talking about the bandos godsword, you said it peaked at almost 25m, when it actually peaked at 21.2m. That’s a bit far from 25m
I'd say because clues are entirely unreliable for their rewards, getting clues themselves is a pain, and because clues are traditionally more cosmetic focused with just few exceptions like Robin Hood and yes, Rangers.
“Taking an item that’s only obtainable from a clue scroll and turning it into a BIS item is absurd” Umm…you know Pegasian boots exist, right? Lmao. They’re an upgrade to ranger boots, which you get from…omg…medium clues. 😅
It’s insane to have a clue scroll item only to be best inslot? Are the peg boots not best inslot ranger boots that require ranger boots that you only get from clues
I unironically think they should add more for the clue scroll items that turns them into something amazing. Maybe not best on slot but idk I think something being outrageously expensive/sought after is good for the game
I saw it below, but the fact that climbing boots aren't mentioned shows the recency bias of this. Either you haven't played that long or this isn't researched.
Read the title. Research when climbing boots skyrocketed. I think you'll find this didn't happen in OSRS, and therefore isn't relevant to the video in the slightest.
Blows my mond the zulrah tele change was 8 years ago.. it feels like just a few. We are reliving osrs again, whats next, the third wave of osrs? 🤣. 07 remastered in 2030 haha xD.

Largest percentage price increase was climbing boots in 2010 when they went from 12gp to 75,000gp overnight which is a 624,900% increase.
that wasnt osrs though
I remember I quit the game for awhile after I farmed zulrah and came back to literally 100's of mill worth of zul-andrea teleports

Should've mentioned revenant cave teleports crashing from 10k+ to 200 gp

@Zash It was from the very day Bluerose reached 82 Smithing
Revenant teleports were like 11-15K and sometimes even 20K now theyre 500 gp
Making Ranger Gloves needed for BIS isn’t that crazy of an idea, I mean you need Ranger Boots to make the BIS Ranged Boots in the game. 15:13
I thought the same thing as I watched that
the difference is the clue tier though...
A lot easier to farm and do mediums for boots..
Ranger gloves are 1/1275 from a elite clues. Hardly the same level as rangers that are 1/293 from a medium
gloves are much much rarer, plus even on an iron you can do like 5-6 meds an hour, or just get them organically as you level up slayer. Have fun farming 1k+ elites.
@@chessmagician2024 ye, I think the real problem is that he just said a clue unique, not an elite clue unique. That gives a whole different story.
Should've covered the story of climbing boots going from 100 gp all the way to 75k overnight :P
That wasn’t in OSRS tho
Yeah that was RS3, but damn I remember that, I was a kid then but I always thought I wish I had a like 1k plus of them stacked up
The fact that OSRS is now nearly as old as RuneScape was when OSRS was released is insane to think about.
It’s like an official private server or an alternate timeline. It really started to fragment off after like 2016.

Ew rs3
what happen to the warrior ring price? I don't know anything about RS3 tbh
The Ankou set is crazy rare. 12k master clues to get one piece!!
years back we bought 300m red spider eggs together with 6 others before the bot nuke, for less than 80 gp ea, sold them 2 days after the bot nuke for 1200-1400 ea
Soulwars was also a big reason the Elysian went up so much. It was best in slot for SoulWars.
I can’t remember when , if it was osrs or not.
But climbing boots were 2 coins each and then they changed them to rock climbing boots back in the day. Pures and Mains in the PK community had hundreds or thousands of these in their banks at a time for return sets.

Main game lol, I remember my brother and I would take turn buying invys all day as our best money maker
I only had like 12 boots when the update hit. I was heartbroken
yes, he missed this. This was the biggest from like 2gp to 75,000. One guy showed a screenshot of hoarding them, he had 211k boots which automatically became rock climbing boots, so do the math 75,000 x over 200,000. You can say that guy became a happy man.
Despite this not being sctrictly osrs I remember dragon claws going from under 270k to 50M during it's very first release on pre-eoc

Anti Venom is another item that went crazy in price over the last few years
Big love for my Eldritch and Harmonised Orb, big big upgrades for a 1 def pure and seeing the price increase 10 fold on the Eldritch was mind blowing, I knew people didn't seem to understand how great it was with Lightbearer.
Yeah I got the lightbearer at 50m and eldritch at 37m because I wanted infinite prayer at dks, then I quit for 2 months and the eldritch was 300m lol
And I was super happy that I had the eldritch for my inferno attempts

Also bots killing the boss 24/7
word has it, planks and nails will be used in the new sailing skill coming out $$$
you forgot the other zulrah item, the crystal weapon seed going from 3k to peaking over 400k :)
Did we completely forget about ranger boots being required for BIS pegasian boots?

I have an issue with what you said about the ranger gloves, you need ranger boots for pegasians rofl, clue scroll item that is used for a bis

Love your content dude both the analysis style and your 1 chunk series are excellent 👌
Cool video but really didn't explain how the Shadow and Lightbearer made the orb more viable

15:12 Ranger boots turn into pegasians?
Medium clues vs Elite clues. They are also rarer than Ranger Boots per roll while keeping in mind you can't really farm elite clues like you can mediums via implings.
zulrah teleports were 78 gp each at one point.
With this dude every week it’s the biggest price change in history 😂😂😂
15:01 I mean that is basically pegasian's now
Haha you hurt my feelings when you said it was absurd to take a clue item and turn it into a BIS item, but I still don’t have ranger boots on my iron 😑

15:19 *cough* ranger boots *cough*
I think one of the biggest price changes in osrs history was my bank before i made my first iron :O its value decreased by 20,000,000,000x!!
Twisted bow. I remember back in the day it was like 500m now its 1.5b
Flipping: Taking an item that is only obtainable from a clue scroll and having it turn into a best in slot item is absurd.

Also a little silly tbf, but still can't really compare a medium clue unique to an elite unique
Watching this just reminds me at one point black dhide was max range gear😂(besides 3rd age)
Nice choices for the Fan FRavorite ToPt Picks!
im glad i got to cash in on the zulrah teleports. made a good free 1b
To be fair ranger boots are used for pegasians bis
What is the website you're using to see the prices of OSRS? I'm looking into doing flipping slowly to build money up so I can get my skills up.
Ge tracker
going on right now the 3rd age axe rose from 500m-950m in about a week
15:12 so ranger boots for pegasians?
what about the fang price drop? shits falling for what some people say is "the best weapon in the game"
i had a lot of crackers at 35k ea and they rose to 300k ea. worth mentioning. was only for 2 weeks tho this was recently
Are zulrah tps useful for anything besides doing zulrah? Is there anything nearby there?
Before I watch the video, wasn't there a guy who sold literal thousands of Zulrah teleports before the change and he lost billions?
yes there was!
Torstol seeds got kinda screwed over from toa and stuff too lol
Recently saw a guy scouting for a 3AP for 6b in w2
I'm still butthurt about farming guild update crashing the prices of a bunch of seeds
what about those seed merchant clans, which made some seed prices to go 100s of times the value.
Climbing boots were a big one wasnt they ?
I think that was on rs2 not osrs no? 😮
I've thought about trying to make a few accounts for farming Christmas crackers. The Christmas quest are kind of long but idk.
What about the Vodkas? i know those caused quite a mess at the time, a shame i wasn't playing at the time
Christmas crackers are like TSLA stock
Where did your flipping series go?
Great video! This was so interesting!
raw tuna just jump this week from ~40gp to 120-220gp
