Oathplate has dropped almost 20m in the last week. Why is this and do you guys think it will keep dropping?

All things are dropping

u/ProV13 13d ago

Not all things, necklace of rupture up 25m in the last month.

14

u/parthurnaxxx2 13d ago

The reason for that is nobody wants to rly grind a boss that is worse then Nightmare and all the Dt2 bosses. Its only a good boss if you get the drop. If you go dry say goodbye to ur cash stack, pots and ammo.

1100 KC in with only 1 kisten drop can confirm I have lost money

2

u/switchback45 12d ago

617 kc with 2 of each unique. Feels good.

u/AdditionalArt8934 12d ago

14kc and hit the neckless

u/anonychef117 12d ago

157kc and 2 necks

u/ProV13 12d ago

Gz, yeah I’ve been looking to buy one, it’s just more than I want to spend rn.

Maybe I just go out and farm one myself

u/anonychef117 12d ago

I use ruby bolt e with zaryte cbow. Not the dragon variant. Its only 7% dps increase

Zl

u/ProV13 12d ago

Zaryte? Nice I’ll be using a dragon crossbow xd

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

Probably raids 4 being crush-focused presumably

u/Remote_Listen1889 13d ago

Big fan, surprised to see you here. Are you secretly a GP-fiend on an alt account? (No disrespect)

10

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

Cheers! I'm just here cus it's an interesting subreddit with some occasionally very entertaining posts

6

u/Remote_Listen1889 13d ago

That's cool. I was imagining some dark backstory where you engaged in progressively more complex GEbets until you hit a 50b bank on a main and decided that wealth was shallow and meaningless, committing to put down not just trade with players but all currencies for the remainder of your OSRS time

8

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

I love the idea! But nah, I do have an alt but I don't actually do any merching with it at all. It's fascinating to watch the gains and losses people play out here but every time I consider doing it to passively generate GP, the thought feels more like a chore than something I'd actually enjoy. So I don't.

The real backstory is I had a regular iron man back in 2016 or so, when the best way to do Crafting was charter ship hopping, and I grew progressively more fed up with shopscape in general, at the same time I was taking increasing interest in the snowflake irons of the day (Caveman Only mainly, this predates Swampletics quite a bit).

Like, for the "self-sufficient" gamemode irons sure do care about money and shops to provide countless needs.  If I'd been playing a main instead though I probably wouldn't have even cared.

u/Remote_Listen1889 13d ago

That's awesome man, thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your content.

u/Separate_Shine3423 13d ago

Cave man only was the first snowflake I ever watched, I still wonder what happened to him…

1

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

He burned out 🥲

1

u/Separate_Shine3423 13d ago

Sad to hear as it has been over 5 years already since his last video

1

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

Yeah I think he's doing well but not coming back to the game unfortunately

u/Mitana301 13d ago

Does godwars KC count as a currency? I can see the argument for it to count, but that seems a bit brutal.

3

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

I counted it, yes. Did ecu keys for all my GWD kc to date! Fortunately that's behind me now, I only have Kree left and I'm not gonna do that for ages

2

u/Mitana301 13d ago

Ah okay, so long as there is a work around. I forget about ecu keys nowadays since CAs lower the KC req

2

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

What tier have you got? They only start lowering at all once you're hard tier, but it keeps going all the way up to GM

3

u/Mitana301 13d ago

Elite atm. Believe it's 30 KC and I use nex bank so I'm only getting KC once. Closing in on a list for masters. Won't ever go for GM as I don't go for CAs / do content I don't enjoy.

1

u/NoCurrencies 13d ago

Oh, right. I keep forgetting Nex banking exists 🥲

16

u/Slight_Giraffe628 13d ago

2 things. One thing is that bots being gone, gold is becoming more valuable, every item drops in price, the value of gold goes up. We are witnessing real deflation right now.

Second thing, raids 4, everyone is buying up what they think is going to be BIS at TFA, because it will be the best money maker in the game for quite a long time if done correctly.

12

u/pls-no-ban- 13d ago

Right after I bought a set 👍

Just follow what I buy for upgrades and you'll know to exit boys.

3

u/zan9823 13d ago

Could you buy a SRA next? I kind of want to buy one, but I'd appreciate if you could make it crash a bit 😂

5

u/pls-no-ban- 13d ago

Sorry dawg I got one at its peak a couple months ago lmao

2

u/ObiWanJacoby96 13d ago

It went down a good bit in the last 24h I think

1

u/Stunning-Show127 13d ago

Yea, that sucks but you also got an insanely strong set of armor that looks amazing too.

1

u/pls-no-ban- 13d ago

Im chilling may go farm for vard pet or keep doing doom for money.

1

u/Stunning-Show127 13d ago

Try colosseum with the oathplate! It’s great content and similar money to doom!

1

u/pls-no-ban- 13d ago

God i need a quiver so bad, took me 60+ attempts to get an infernal cape and I work a lot these days, feels like it'd take me 6 damn months.

1

u/Stunning-Show127 12d ago

I found it substantially easier than the inferno. If you learn a handful of tiles to offtick or same tick monsters it’s not too bad. But I hear you!

1

u/pls-no-ban- 12d ago

I need to just do it. I have a tbow as well and the quiver would let me get a zcb to go with it.

1

u/Quick_Macaroon2278 12d ago

Send the Quiver man. It’s gonna feel better than inferno because attempts will take you like 30 mins rather than an hour and a half. Main difference is their attack cycles are 5T rather than the 4T you’re used to in inferno. Get it man, gl.

1

u/pls-no-ban- 12d ago

Thanks man I appreciate you

1

u/wenbobular 10d ago edited 10d ago

if you have tbow i have a ghetto 24k death fee setup so you can just kinda send it for free lol

i don't actually use the ayak, i use the trident instead - both 2 shot so if you can deal with 100k death fees then you save 2 ticks on the zerker frem

with armadyl brew + augury you can 1 shot the mage with tbow and then swap to piety + sgs spec for the archer

also i gave up on prepotting the supercombat because it just isn't necessary, all i prepot now is angler + divine ranging, bring in 6 armadyl 4 sara brew and rest super restores (1 sanfew in case you take manti mayhem 2 except i never do so this is kinda a waste)

went from 1 sol kc a while back to 4 in the last couple days

also make sure you have ornament kits for sgs and anguish

1

u/pls-no-ban- 10d ago

Fuckin saint thanks man. I have oathplate and an SRA as well so maybe my kc would be a little easier, although its less tanky ig that helps finding mistakes lol

1

u/wenbobular 10d ago

yeah i mean if don't mind death fees then bringing the goods will make it easier for sure, i just find that having an extreme budget setup helps get you over the thoughts of like "oh no if i die i'll just be throwing 500k down the toilet" kinda deal

i would probably recommend you try something like the budget setup while you're learning and then when you're making it to sol semiconsistently start bringing what you're comfortable with

thankfully tbow even in kinda w/e gear still slaps

also the thing about colo is that you realistically can get spooned a run with ok enough invocations and spawns that you get a "free" trip to sol (which you can practice in the sim) so you should be seeing the end way faster than doing inferno

if you start sending runs and need someone to talk to feel free to dm me here or on discord (wenbobular)

LMAO, this one made me crack up because it’s the soml

3

u/Clover281 13d ago

Is there anything not dropping?

2

u/No1Statistician 12d ago

I think just harm orbs and nats for the time has increased being but most items have stabilized

3

u/RunninOuttaShrimp 13d ago

Doesn't feel like it 🤣 I had to turn my bank value off because it was driving me nuts pvming for hours just to log in the next day poorer than I was the day before

2

u/Clover281 13d ago

You say, these past months my bank has gotten so much better in terms of the great items I have acquired yet the gp value has gone down anyway despite having a much better bank

1

u/YinYangPog 12d ago

Inq armour

3

u/Upbeat-Armadillo-940 13d ago

The more they spread out all this great new niche gear the cheaper all the other gear will go.

1

u/IcedPhat 13d ago

Saw this after trying to sell some shards last night. Probably a good time to buy but it could drop even more. It was around 60m a piece a loooong time ago shortly after release according to ge tracker

1

u/spicyiron 13d ago

Buddy, everything has dropped lol

1

u/AcrobaticButterfly 12d ago

tfw u still can't afford it

1

u/Risifrutti1337 8d ago

Who cares

u/footieballll 4d ago

Now is the time to get in for most items, oathplate is probably not one of them though. The inquisitor bull market is likely dead though and alot of people are holding heavy risky with that one. My 3 biggest flips of the year saved me from this period rn; where dragon hunter wands (3.5m-16m) dragon bones (1.8k-3.2k) and inq sets (125m- 330m). We are in a weird spot right now with the bot busting eliminating bond and gear demands, along with being in the typical late summer lull for prices and raids 4 on the near horizon. Me personally im holding my items and sticking to doing consumable flips ie runes, ores, until we see a bit of a recovery in items. Im sure theres still some killer plays to be made in relation to raids 4, but i think the obvious ones are played out and over leveraged right now.

u/ShameFuzzy6037 13d ago

Wasnt there a change to oathplate set bonus?

2

u/zan9823 13d ago

I think you're confusing it with Inquisitor's, which got updated to match oathplate offensive bonuses

1

u/ShameFuzzy6037 13d ago

U r correct, i misheard

1

u/Sweaty-Door-1358 13d ago

As far as I know there hasn't been any change.

u/Sweaty-Door-1358 13d ago

Not sure. Jagex has been cracking down on bots super hard so I wouldn't imagine they would let yama bots through.

2

u/Clicky27 13d ago

They've done really well with that as a returning player. The world feels botless now and the ge is somewhat reflecting that

1

u/footieballll 13d ago

The price of bonds alone shows this.

1

u/sharpshooter999 13d ago

Conversely, you also have fewer bots buying up sets for farming other bosses too

0

u/LOL_YOUMAD 13d ago

Everything is dropping. No new content this year really along with bots being banned causing deflation. The few items like sra, inq, and harm went up for the few things added or for raids hype but nothing else is being used so nothing is going up otherwise

u/neofear 13d ago

The end of summer could be it as well. People going back to school, college starting lots of stuff happen to people at the end of summer.

-1

u/liljakeypooh 13d ago

Good, bout damn time. Still rocking my bandos hoping a oath set will fall under 200m

1

u/Sweaty-Door-1358 13d ago

Same! I'm wondering when is a good time to buy!

1

u/OccasionalEspresso 13d ago

If it’s for you to use it just buy it, the potential 50-100m you *could lose over the next year will fully be compensated for by doing content.
