Runescape noob - are there rares on Runescape?

[8Freak8]

Howdy :)

I have some questions about Runescape. I have never played it and never really taken any notice of screenshots of it, however I want to make a script that I am making for Habbo also work for Runescape fansites.

Here are my questions:
- Are there Runescape fansites which are as popular or more popular than Habbox?
- Do they have live news and dynamic sites like Habbo Hotel fansites?
- Are there rares on Runescape which can be traded?
- If yes, do the rares have set values or do the values change like Habbo rare values?
- Who displays the rare values? Fansites or Runescape?
- If no one displays rare values, could they?

Thanks!

- there are fansites which are probably more popular than habbox, as they are runescape sites not habbo

for example
www.runehq.com
www.tip.it
www.zybez.net

- don't really no

- yes some of them are so rare they are worth 200million gp

- values change, the rare rares go up, expected to treble in price by the end of the year

- it changes with the economy, it is kinda the players

- they are changing so it would be difficult. the way to check the prices is go on the runescape.com official forums and look in discontiuned items to see there prices

- www.runehq.net is probably the most popular. Don't know if it's more popular than habbox though.
- Not really.
- Yes, a lot.
- They change all the time.
- Both, but most people follow the values of runescape.
- they do

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

1) As he said. Most popular is probaly www.runehq.com but http://runescape.salmoneus.net/ is pretty good too. Another site he forgot to add would be www.runescapecommunity.com.

2) Yes of course. Here is if you wana read more about them; http://tip.it/runescape/?page=rare_items.htm

3) All values drop and fall..not only on rares or holiday items basically on all items on rs.

4) The best thing to get a value would be www.runescape.com and go on their official forum and go to correct section. Check how much people usually want for it and how much are people ready to offer.

5) Question anwsered.

If you need help, PM me.


STEVE DIE. :rolleyes:

Do official staff update the values?
Can someone post a screenshot of the post on the forum?

[bowrox]

It isn't a post, you check how much people are selling them for on market forums

And staff do not control prices, players do in a way. It is the economy

[Redmoon Evil]

i think people just go by what items are selling for on the forum so the price can change each day

[-!scotty-!1]

runehq is prob more pop than habbox

Well the forum is more pop

[8Freak8]

runehq is prob more pop than habbox

Well the forum is more pop
Yes Rune HQ is definately more popular. But Habbo Hotel isnt as big as Runescape. I think in terms of users per thousand players Habbox could be more popular but its hard to tell.

So please can you guys confirm that this is true. There are rares on Runescape. To get the values you look at the trading forums. The values are not displayed simply anywhere. If the fansites wanted to, they could display the rare values. The official Runescape site doesnt show the values anywhere apart from in threads that users make asking for trades.

Is that correct? Do you think Fansites for Runescape would want to show the values or not?

[bowrox]

Yes correct

The can show the values, but you would need to personally update them daily, they are going up a million each day sometimes

thats a good guide thats updated.

[bowrox]

Yeh you can find price guides that are updated on fansites

[8Freak8]

Yes correct

The can show the values, but you would need to personally update them daily, they are going up a million each day sometimes
Excellent :D.

The reason I ask is because I am making a new rare values system. Habbox uses one which I made, it allows Smiddy1234 (Rare values manager) to update the values easily without having access to the whole of Habbox.com. Now I am making Version 2 because I want to sell it.

It will be excellent if I can also sell it to sites that aren't Habbo related.

Won't be ready for ages though.

[bowrox]

if you are thinking of setting something up to check on forums to keep it update you carnt as the forums arnt set up like that.

you would have to personally check the values

[Mr.Kylee]

Values change everyday..whip for example is dropping atm every day lower? you can't keep values updated on a site because it's impossible. Values change too quickly

[bowrox]

and you carn't create something like rss to keep it update because of the way the forums work

a few weeks ago whips were at 3.2 now there at 2.7

[Ezzie.]

Hey Lawrence if you want I'll send you my new email addy? Cos my undercoverkiller bladebladeblah account got hacked rofl -.- and I go on runescape so if you want it just pm me dude :) as i've forgot yours :(

Yes on there front page www.runescape.com

- Are there rares on Runescape which can be traded?

Not rares but "items" its like normal furni on habbo but all items on rs change in value.

- If yes, do the rares have set values or do the values change like Habbo rare values?

Yes all the time and more frequently.

- Who displays the rare values? Fansites or Runescape?

People. No fansite can catch up.

- If no one displays rare values, could they?

They dont and yes you could but there are over 1000 items to display...

1. www.runehq.com
2. no clue
3. yes tons
4. values change with in minutes so you cant really make a site about it
5. Runescape people
6. ----------

What sort of program, we might be able to say if it is possible

[8Freak8]

a few weeks ago whips were at 3.2 now there at 2.7
That isnt much faster than Habbo rare values can change. If you converted super rares into RD instead of T they would change that quickly.

The program doesnt run off forums or anything like that. The program aspect would work fine.

[bowrox]

They are changing every few hours going up and down, and to be honest i don't fink fansites wouldn't want to buy tht sort of thing

[zak-x]

Some days on runescape items go down and go up in pries sometimes it's quick and some times it slow.
You have to know the runescape community and you must know all the values of each item on runescape to see how much they have increased in pries or has decreased in pries.

It depends how many people are buying take this example:
Whip: Went down by 300k 2 weeks ago in one day, reason:
More people have it, more people are getting 85 slayer so they can get whip much more easier.

Also runescape fan sites are much more popular then habbox, about 15x more.
If you think about it about 17000 people go on habbo uk and on runescape over 500000 go on it.
.

[bowrox]

Currently Runescape has about 500,000 paying members, with the majority using fan sites at some point. Total members including free players is over 5 million

[nets]

You can't keep an updated list of values, although some fansites try.
Tip.it/forum gets more vistors than Habbox, and they have more members aswell (I think they have over 100 000, where as Habbox has something like 15 000).
