When to Buy Items on the Exchange in RuneScape

Here's a very good question...

There have been a lot of questions in the past about when you should update your offers and how...

The simple answer is as soon as the GE database updates, because if you are queued for minimum, middle or maximum price you are obviously first in line.

Imagine if you will a system update, lets call it a prayer update for arguments sake and you are taking your time reading the documentation and take 30 minutes to get back to your game, if 50,000 people are already in the game then at least 30% of those have already scanned the important information and will have gotten their offers in.

Take prayer for instance, whenever there is an update requiring prayer you can almost be sure dragon bones will rise at least 5-10% so make sure you get them first.

If smithing is getting the treatment, gold ores will go up since it is again the fastest way to train.

Construction = oak planks (and maybe the occasional nail)

Slayer = black mask tends to jump up 10% (non charged only)

Herblore = water filled vials = a 20-50% rise (though with shop update this has less of an impact probably)

Crafting = green dragonhide if higher level, and to a lesser extent other colours

High level ranging = red chinchompa

Every single skill has its corresponding super training item that everyone descends upon, all you need to do is be ready and know what they are.

There have been rumours afoot lately of an upcoming smithing update, will you spend 4 hours asking everyone whether to buy gold ores cheap, waste your time and miss out or will you be one of the first to log back into the server and make a lot of money?

This goes for natural GE updates too, if you do some research and recognise what is going to be good the day after to buy without hardly looking you will have a distinct advantage. When I am choosing items to trade I will generally look 1-2 days in the future, I know what price they are likely to hit so can simply run into the Grand Exchange and make a lot of money due to being there first.

Make a list of your commonly traded items and bookmark them in your favourite browser, when update comes along all you need do then is load them all up and see what has risen and fallen. Simples.

Anyways, on that note I have just noticed that both gold ore and red chinchompa are nicely underpriced and should be due a rise sometime...Chinchompa being at its lowest point for 3 and a half months and gold ore being at a low it hasn't seen for months, possibly years.

Take a look, you know you want to lol

Maximizing Your Profits in FishVille

Profits In FishVille

When you're playing FishVille, there are a lot of ways to enjoy yourself. Even just watching the colorful fish you've raised and nurtured swim around can be a great reward for all the hard work you put into assembling your tank. You may not be in it for the money, and you might not even aspire to any form of aquatic domination. But even so, you'd be wise to pay attention to your profits in FishVille. Any time you sell a fish, you make more than you sold it for, but the size of that profit will vary considerably depending on the kinds of fish you wind up raising and when you decide to sell them.

Return On Investment

One way to make sure you're maximizing your profits in FishVille is to choose the fish you raise based on how much of a return you get on your initial investment when you sell them. This isn't always immediately obvious because, even though you may get a big chunk of change when you sell a particular fish, it may not actually be that much more than you paid for it to begin with.

In general, the higher the level that you need to achieve to unlock the fish, the greater the profits you'll get by selling it. This is not always the case, however, so it's important to evaluate the profitability of each fish as you unlock it and not simply assume that a new option is better than some of the others you've been using.

Earnings Per Hour

Another factor that you need to take into account when you're trying to increase your profits in FishVille is how much each fish will actually make you per hour that it spends in your tank. Again, it's important not to be fooled by fish that give you big chunks of coins when you finally sell them. If you're raising a type of fish that takes a long time to grow, you may actually be able to make more coins in the same amount of time by raising a fish that sells for less but that has a much quicker turn around time.

Time to Sell

But really, the most important way to make sure that you're maximizing your profits in FishVille is to wait until your fish are completely mature before you sell them. It can often be tempting to sell fish as soon as you can so that you can start raising new ones and because you want the coins now. But by waiting until your fish have reached their maximum value, you really cut down on the amount of profit you're able to collect from each one.
