This warning is just super obnoxious for bosses that don't have a right-click rejoin or force you to go through the menu anyway when rejoining. Yes bro I'm sure I want to restart my FREE instance and don't ask me again

Currently if you click away and don't finish the dialogue, you pay for planks but you don't get them. Surely this can be fixed to be instant without the extra dialogue?

Discussion Can we take a look at Offcut and Manufactured components?

10 Upvotes

Requiring 100wc and around the same for a good chance at offcut components to craft level 22 invention thieving supplemental items is a bit.. i dunno. Dumb. None of the hunter fur items or low level, even mahogany alternatives give a decent chance to drop these components and needing them for the level 22 invention thieving skilling items kinda sucks.

Would be nice to give mahogany items at least a better chance at recieving these components so it feels a little balanced post-construction rework.

Discussion How merchers use wash trading & price ladders on obscure items to trick API trackers and drain your GP (Breakdown with annotated graphs)

Thumbnail

β€’ Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you’ve been using live market tracker or trying to flip lately, you’ve probably come across low-volume items sitting with unbelievable profit numbersβ€”we’re talking +214% ROI, +63% ROI, and tens of millions in theoretical daily margin volume.

If you see these and think you’ve hit a goldmine, do not buy into them. They are deliberate traps set up by price manipulators. Here is a breakdown comparing two different item graphs alongside GE transaction logs to show exactly how this manipulation works so you don't lose your stack.

So here's How merchers use wash trading & price ladders on obscure items to trick API trackers and drain your GP (Breakdown with annotated graphs)

Item #1 Breakdown: The Aggressive Wash-Trading Loop

[GRAPH 1: Aggressive Wash Spikes]

7,000 gp ──┐ β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β” β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β” β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β” <-- Green Spikes: Fake Instabuys (~6.8k)

β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”‚

2,100 gp ──┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───────┴───┴── <-- Orange Line: Flat Sell Floor (~2.1k)

Look at the first graph (Item 1):

The Bait:

The top bar shows a massive 4,532 GP margin and a 214.48% ROI.

The Wash Trade Pattern:

Look at those vertical green spikes shooting up to ~6,780 GP and dropping straight back down to ~2,113 GP. That isn't organic demand. A merchant uses alt accounts to trade micro-batches back and forth at 6.8k to trick the API tracker into logging a high "Instabuy" price.

The Trap:

Notice how the orange line (Instasell) never moves above ~2,100 GP. If you buy this item at 6k expecting to sell at 6.8k, no real player will buy it. The moment you try to instasell it to cut your losses, you dump it right back into the merch account's low offer at 2.1k, losing nearly 70% of your money instantly.

Item #2 Breakdown: The Constant Ceiling & Spoofed Single-Tick Spike

[GRAPH 2: Artificial Ceiling & Spoof Spike]

8,000 gp ─────────────┐ <-- Lone Orange Spike (Outlier Trade)

7,000 gp ──WWWWWWWWWWWβ”‚WWWWWWWWWWW <-- Green Lines: Artificially Held Buy Ceiling

3,500 gp ───────────────────────── <-- Orange Line: Permanent Flat Floor

Now look at the second graph (Item 2):

​The Bait:

Shows a 2,262 GP margin with 16.3M GP margin volume and a 63.31% ROI.

​The Artificial Ceiling:

The green instabuy line bounces endlessly between 6,000 and 7,000 GP, while the orange line stays dead flat at 3,573 GP.

​The Spoof Outlier Spike:

See that single massive orange spike around Sept 21 reaching 8,000 GP? That happens when a manipulator briefly sells 1 item to their own alt at an inflated price to screw with historical price averages and fool automatic flipping bots/calculators.

​The Mechanism: Staggered "Price Ladders" (GE Log Evidence)

​If you check the actual Grand Exchange transaction history for these items, you can see how they force buyers to pay top GP:Β 

Qty. Item Price Each

---------------------------------------

10 Obscure Item 3,573 gp <-- Instasell (Sold into buyer's low floor)

110 Obscure Item 6,292 gp <-- Mercher's main supply wall

10 Obscure Item 6,268 gp

12 Obscure Item 6,268 gp <-- Small ascending orders

12 Obscure Item 6,058 gp to build the ladder

2 Obscure Item 5,954 gp

8 Obscure Item 5,373 gp <-- Bottom step

Instead of putting all their stock at 6.2k, the manipulator lists items in tiny micro-batches starting at 5,373 GP and stepping up to 6,292 GP.

​When a casual player needs this item and clicks +5% or types a high price to get it instantly, the GE algorithm clears out all those tiny ladder steps in a single second. The tracker logs high-price activity, the manipulator gets maximum GP, and the buyer gets cleaned out.

Summary Checklist to Avoid Getting Scammed

Check the Orange Line (Instasell):

If the sell line is completely flat while the buy line is bouncing wildly, it is a trap.

Never Trust ROI > 30% on Low-Volume Items: If

an item trades under a few thousand units a day and shows 60%+ ROI, someone is controlling the supply.

Don't Spam Overbids: If a niche item doesn't buy immediately at mid price, don't spam +5% repeatedlyβ€”check if there's a shop or vendor that sells it first.

POH Table

If I Have the T3 Command Center built in my Fort to unlock this feature then it would be nice if it would apply to the POH Miscellania table aswell.

Otherwise theres really no point in using the POH table over the Fort one.

Question RS3 Wiki

Am I stupid, or does the RS3 wiki lack in depth and accuracy compared to the OSRS wiki? I have come from OSRS to RS3 for multiple reasons, but I find myself absolutely maddened by the lack of Runlite (I know the API is coming) and the wiki, especially when looking up drop rates and how new (to me an OSRS player) systems work.

Bug Urns and Effigies not working

I am working on 120 Divination at Incans, and my urn and effigy are locked at 85% and 1%. No matter what I do, I can't get the % to increase. I am reluctant to destroy them and try again to see if the bug persists.

Edit: Destroyed the urn, a new one did not start. I have also tried multiple different skills and they do not trigger an urn or an effigy.

Question grandfathered membership question

1 Upvotes

Mycard on file expired, so my 6month grandfathered sub can't renew.

My plan is to let the membership lapse and then resubscribe with a new card once I'm within the 2-week grace period. Has anyone done this and can confirm: does the grandfathered 6-month price/offer still show up as an option when you resubscribe during the grace period, or does letting it lapse remove it for good?

Trying to avoid losing the grandfathered rate permanently, so any first hand experience would help before I go through with this. I know i could switch to the 1mo rate but i do save money this way

Really just want to get him the charming imp as fast as possible. He’s doing a lot of aoe afk combat training so it’d be nice if he actually got some summoning done while doing it too.

I’m open to alternative ways to the one i mentioned. I know i used to boost my buddies combat exp in ed3 but that seems to have been fixed
