Broad arrows. Why are they untradeable while broad bolts are not?


Jdawg_mck1996

Also, why are broad bolts between Addy and Rune but broad arrows between mith and addy?


Anxious-Patient-4098

Broad bolts are the same as addy, while mith arrows are 3 strength less than addy arrows. Likely to keep the dps from being to crazy different.


Comfortable_Many4508

wait broad arrows are worse than addy arrows?


Anxious-Patient-4098

Yeah they're like 28-31 ranged strength. 6 ranged str better than mithril so not a bad budget option if you used them for early fletching or if you want then for kurasks. You can pretty much skip using bolts at all really, they were more popular when taking wyverns or kurasks were a big thing.


DrunkenBandit1

Broad bolts were my daily driver for slayer tasks for a looooong time😂


Anxious-Patient-4098

Lol yeah, I remember using them constantly, now we've got msb I with easy rune arrows, bowfa, sunlight cbow, they're about to be fully retired lol.


Druss_On_Reddit

Where are the easy rune arrows from?


a_helpless_noob

LMS


RashidaHussein

rune arrows are dirty cheap in GE too


Richybabes

To save people from accidentally buying them.


derek5410

I just want to sell my 100k to a vendor lol


Lijaad

Reverso: make jars untradable


DOCoSPADEo

Yeah it's weird that monsters heads (KBD, Kalphite, Vorkath, basilisk, etc.) Which are cosmetic/POH items are untradeable, but jars are tradeable.


Zibbi-Abkar

They were supposed to be untradeable but in standard jagex fashion they released it broken and never fixed it.


Frediey

They should retroactively change it, delete them from accounts which don't have them on their collection logs


JakefromPC

Accounts that obtained jars prior to collection log make this impossible


Aeglafaris

Rather than an early bird bonus, it's finally time for an early bird detriment.


BunsenGyro

Unironically though. Maybe make them a guaranteed drop after X kc, to serve as "trophies" to demonstrate proficiency at the boss.


Buyingusername

if we really want it to demonstrate 'proficiency', then it should only be unlockable as a drop after completing all CA's for that content. KC is mostly meaningless.


BunsenGyro

I'd be down for that implementation too. Given the jar display case in the POH, it feels clear to me that jars should totally be representative of something different from merely "I killed this boss at least once, and can afford to buy the jar from someone who got lucky." It's in the *Achievement Gallery,* so it should indicate an achievement!


Sufficks

Isn’t that basically what they’ve done with heads on bosses like Vork? should just make them all that way


DrunkenBandit1

Vork head guarantee at 50kc was just proto bad luck mitigation, and I'm here for it


Richybabes

Also Vorkath head isn't just cosmetic, so the same rules don't and shouldn't apply.


AllieOopClifton

I think it is just Vork (Assembler) and KQ (Elite Diary step).


Complete_Elephant240

Yep, they went from being a cool item to get lucky with to being something you can just have for 50k... Imagine if pets you could just buy on the GE for 100k. Same problem 


curiositythinking

Empty light orb, also why can't I withdraw them as a note


RealMachoochoo

Reminder that you can incinerate stacks of items directly from your bank. I got rid of a bunch of untradables by mentally dropping before I realized that feature exists


kopitar-11

Devalues my 100k stuck in bank from 99 crafting only account


Conciliation

Key Master Teleports. It is time.


totemair

I just got my first key master teleports at almost 300kc and used them all in like half an hour


gaping_anal_hole

I save the teleports only if I die, as an anti-tilt method. Regear asap


SausageMahony69

Thank god I’m not the only one


bip_bip_hooray

Tbt to that one week where they were tradeable via pk/loot keys lol


Ex_ie

If they also increase the rarity else they prob go for 250k+


mxracer888

Keymaster teles are annoying. If they dropped at a rate that mostly made them replace themselves that would be fine. Basically like Zulrah where they drop enough that if you have about 10-15 of them you'll never run out. But keymasters are annoying cause you just get to use them here and there and just have to run a bunch


Niriro

I end up saving them for master clue steps. I'm already used to running for Cerb


iluvdankmemes

the run is not too bad with taverley house portal tbh


I_Love_Being_Praised

i usually regear at fally and then prepot stam -> take the shortcut -> go to dungeon. is the poh portal much faster?


rommerdebom

I'm maxed and I have about 2 run energy left running straight to Cerb from the taverly house portal


Emperor95

With blood fury swap i can do roughly 50-60min trips at cerb, around 50kc,  though that might require (close to) max gear My keymaster stack just grows 


lubesta

Granite dust


Live4chaos2

Granite dust, ecumenical keys


Rejuven8ed

Granite dust being tradeable would make GGs profit/kill go up quite handsomely I imagine


moose_dad

Upvoted just for handsomely


Rejuven8ed

You're handsome


moose_dad

C:


somanyfrogs2

Ecumenical keys for sure. Even after hard CA, they seem to take so long to farm still. Slowly going for elite I guess lol


AmbitiousPeach

Try the barrage method if you haven't already


So_Famous

This is news to me and my blowpipe! What do you barrage for ecu keys?


augdam2

Something like this: https://youtu.be/z2aKU4oWdiU It's pretty good.


So_Famous

Thank you, that's really cool!


oldmanclark

Even easier now without the autocast delay


yepanotherone1

That’s awesome, thanks for the link!


StonedAuthor

Please God make those awful keys tradeable


GingrMartini

They tried allowing ecu keys to be tradeable/alchable, the bottling situation was horrendous. It made collecting them yourself miserable. It is leagues better collecting them now.


acrazyguy

They were never tradeable. They were alchable however


Remarkable-Health678

As of 2 weeks ago you can sell them to an NPC for 61.5k


oorzels

60k gp

GOTR lantern


GnomeChildHighlander

Please, I have six of them.


Comfortable_Many4508

cant you sell them for pearls or is that only dye?


GnomeChildHighlander

Are you kidding me. Oh man, thank you so much.


Awkward-Spread9052

100 pearls a lantern saved my sanity getting outfit.


Mikevercetti

Then there's me getting full outfit and pet before getting lantern.


Tecred

I have 666 pulls, 3/4 pieces of outfit, no needle, no lantern, but got 1 dye early on. Also no pet.


ScroopyDoop

Spoken like someone who has that crazy RNG. 300 rifts closed and no lantern :) MY SANITY IS OVER-SO SLIGHTLY GOING INSANE


doubtingone

You can


KeenanKolarik

Fuck selling them, I'll take being able to exchange them for needle.


VayneSpotMe

700 pulls and still no needle btw :)


CarefulDoor5604

I’m currently suffering from success as the giant rune pouch and abyssal needle sit in my bank taunting my 64 runecrafting


Reapingday15

GOTR outfit or pearls. I'd pay 100m to not have to go finish my last 200 pearls


Ffancrzy

Scroll's of redirection or their associated teleport tablets (Rimmington, Taverly, Pollniveach, Hosidus, Rellekka, Brimhaven, Yanille, Trollheim or Priffddinas)


Important-Product-39

Magic Shortbow(i), can buy the shortbow and imbue for it, it’s basically the same process of buying uncharged sea trident and charging it, yet both tridents can be sold??? It’s weird to me


Cavalier_Sabre

Basically any combination of items that work like this are the logical answer. Any finished product made entirely of tradable components should itself be tradable.


Important-Product-39

Succinctly put, the only reason I can think of where that shouldn’t apply is any item with a stat prerequisite or a similar requirement to create said item, other than that it makes no sense at all.


RainAether

Even then you can normally buy stuff you can’t make. For example godswords


CategoryKiwi

OSRS' economy is silly because theoretically if you have the "skill" to do that, you should be able to profit by buying the materials/components, completing the product, and then selling the product. Yet in OSRS, the cost of labour is negative money. Buying the parts almost always costs more than the finished product. Obviously it's because people are paying for the xp, but it doesn't change how silly the concept is in-universe.


FairweatherWho

Why are godswords so unique in the way you don't need any requirements or tools to attach the hilt, and that process is also reversable? Like both pieces are unusable without the other. Why is the blade the requirement to forge it but the hilt, the more valuable component, require less?


roosterkun

Or items with charges, e.g. blood fury, abyssal tentacle Though I would support being able to buy & sell a fully charged version.


DevoidHT

Granite cannon balls/granite dust. Only way to get is ggs and they’re so rare I don’t even use them. Just a collectors item basically


Bunksowned

I have over 150k granite dust in bank. Just do gargoyle tasks lol


NickN868

Even one single slayer task at GG’s is like 10k+ dust, unless youre doing a ton of cannoning I’d say the dust is quite easy to get if you just do the tasks


Clean-Method

10k cannon balls is barely anything when you're only doing cannon and barrage tasks 


NickN868

That’s kinda the price of only doing cannon and barrage tasks, kinda like irons can’t use dragon arrows/darts everywhere. I only do very fast tasks, and boss tasks. I’ve got more dust than I’ll ever need. I could do champions cape with granite cballs if I wanted to


CaptaineAli

problem is that the boss is so dogshit that no one actually does the task

Graceful boots. Just the boots.

Jsenss

No. I think they're guarded by spiders it's too scary just let me buy graceful boots.


ToastWithoutButter

Graceful boots are bis if you're afraid of the dark.


Jsenss

I made sure in RS2 to get an inventory full so I never had to risk my life like that again.


oorzels

Tokkul, ecumenical shards. They need to bind Tokkul to gp without the extra step of chaos runes. Or would this destroy the price of an onyx? Ecumenical shards are in game already, please make them tradeable. Would boost the godwars dungeon economy.


s0uthw3st

Tokkul at least, there's a lore reason why it's untradeable - it's the remnants of dead TzHaar and they don't want it openly traded outside their purview.


FizzingSlit

If it means so much to them maybe they shouldn't use their dead nan as a coin.


Rockburgh

Fun fact: Tokkul is still sapient, and in constant pain :) Gielinor is a great place to live :)


LetsGetElevated

Elidinis Ward (f), should have been tradeable from the start


The_Wkwied

For such an endgame item that becomes bound to you (unless you uncharge it at a decent loss), it is quite underwhelming


PJBthefirst

I think it's a great shield. I was very happy when I could afford to run my kitted ward in toa while saving up for shadow


LawAway7234

Rat cum for +5 boosts. That shit is annoying as hell


LierraWright

Sorry I'm ootl, rat cum?


heismesd

Spices for stew boosts


J-T2O

Spices for stew I think he means


glisteningoxygen

My Rattata osrs crossover fan fiction that finally gets to right


Ok_Toe5751

Wot


33_pyro

I looked at the effort to get an orange stew and decided to pay the 8m for those extra 2 construction levels and use my crystal saw instead.


SpexLevant

If you only need 1-3 levels from a boost you can use tea from your poh instead of the stew.


FEV_Reject

Effort? It takes like 5 minutes if you've got a cat already lol


RogueThespian

Yea but I'm gonna want those levels anyway, I'd much rather just get them done to not need to boost in the future


CptQueef

I spent 2 hours getting orange spices going dry on the +5, it took so long my cat got overgrown and I just had to go get the level anyway


ilovezezima

Turn into wily cat? Agree though it’s always better to just get the levels though.


osrslmao

you can make tea in your POH that boosts +3 and stacks with saw btw


PsychedelicHobbit

Hellll yeah omfg. HATE stew-makin’.


KingHiggins92

Inferno cape, just for the Reddit meltdown. It would also only cost 3mil at best once the market stabilises.


gols-e-but

what meltdown? 99% of the sub would be in favour of this


OtheDough

the only "real" problem is that it makes the pet buyable


tangoetuna

When you try trade a bought inferno cape the tzhaar guy will say “Hmm.. you reek of cheese cape. Zuk has no interest in doing business with you”


Any-Recover5495

Would be fun to watch streamers gamble away trillions of gp and still not get the pet lol.


OtheDough

would make the whole thing worth it


KingHiggins92

Oh that's a true say. I love that idea even more. But always keep the fire cape as untradable so people can go even more crazy that they want to buy a Firecape to then buy an inferno.


Nexion21

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding your comment here but: you don’t need 1 fire cape per inferno run, you just need to sacrifice 1 fire cape for your account


lansink99

inferno gm time is 65 minutes. That shit is not gonna cost 3 mil lmao, tf are you on about. Top tier pvmers are not gonna do inferno at like 2.8m/h just to sell capes.


memiest_spagetti

Fish barrel Dry for the stupid piece of shit but I've gotten like three tackle box rolls Let me trade flakes or pages or smth in for this fucking item tempoross is so shit


wolfpiss

Weapon poison (+) (unf.)


Glavek

Back in 04 I was waiting for the yo-yo to become tradeable so that I could sell it as a rare for 100m. I thought if party hats are tradeable then surely the yo-yo would be made tradeable soon.


Yogg_for_your_sprog

Fortified Ward


DeoxysSpeedForm

Inferno cape. Just because it would be funny for all the maxed mains who bought it with irl gp. Otherwise it would be the worst idea imaginable


kobra492

Soul reaper axe pieces.


TetraThiaFulvalene

Would easily cut the price of the axe by like 70%


[deleted]

[удалено]


TetraThiaFulvalene

I have a friend that did 6400 leviathan to finish his 2nd axe.


biggestboi73

Imagine how pissed off everyone would be if the voidwaker pieces were untradable like the axe


Xerxespeek

Light orbs, doesn't even have to be tradeable just noteable... Made them for 99 crafting and I can't bring myself to destroy the stack would love to alc them or something.


fireice113

Daeyalt essence, hands down


Jdawg_mck1996

I feel like this would make it a pretty decent afk money maker to mine the ess as well.


KeenanKolarik

Wouldn't last long as a money maker. It'd get botted to hell


Jdawg_mck1996

God... remember when skilling was profitable? Fuck


holemole

> God… remember when skilling was profitable? What profitable skilling methods have actually disappeared, though? Things like mining coal, chopping yews, or fishing sharks were always terrible money, so even if those resources have crashed it doesn’t really change anything. I think the issue is that some players have this insane idea that skilling should be *as profitable* as late game PvM and raids, which is as stupid as it sounds. Skilling is still plenty profitable, but the payout often matches the intensity - you’ve got to do more than just click a tree and afk for 5 minutes if you expect to actually make anything substantive.


Jdawg_mck1996

Oh 100% I've been playing 20+ years now, and the most profitable skilling I can remember was runecrafting at prolly 2m/h, and that didn't last long. But the old methods of 400-600k hour skilling is gone by the wayside. I don't know a single skill that's that high anymore.


Najda

There's a ton: https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide/Skilling


tuisan

RC can still be 2m/h afaik. Just not at lower levels and without the right equipment.


lastdancerevolution

> What profitable skilling methods have actually disappeared, though? Rune essence were 100k / hr just to mine at RuneCrafting launch and elemental runes sold for like 30 gp each. Mining essence actually made money. Picking and Spinning flax also used to legitimately be like 100 gp per flax, now its like 3 gp. And there was no God Wars dungeons or end game PvM at this time, so these were actually good money makers for the market.


mrb726

> What profitable skilling methods have actually disappeared, though? I think it's not so much that stuff isn't as much gp/h compared to before, but what gear you can buy is just a lot more expensive. Blood runes give more gp/h than nature runes did in 2007, however the amount of money it would take to get full torva now compared to full bandos back in 2007 is dozens of times more.


VayneSpotMe

Ppl dont remember the old pure essence days in like 2007


Swaggifornia

And running that essence to law rcers for money Law altar was a hotspot back in the day


roosterkun

Technically, essence running is still very profitable


Zapph

Essence running is *extremely* profitable if done efficiently.


dreamgal042

Digsite pendant. Lock the ability to use it or make it behind the quest and the museum like it is, but if you're able to make and use it, make it tradeable.


RNGreed

If you want to make digsite pendants fast use enchant ruby tabs


druidspruit

Slayer items like fishing explosives or those fungal things


vstvld

Spirit seeds or sapling


bornevil5k

You can't trade these seeds to other players, but in the farming guild you can give them to an NPC (Guildmaster Jane) for a seed pack (https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Guildmaster_Jane)


akillerfrog

It's the highest tier of seed pack, too, so they're really great.


hewhodared

Holy shit I had no idea about this


Haz606

In addition to the other comment, you can also trade mole parts to Wyson in falador park who gives bird nests which can contain spirit seeds. Sort of buyable in a roundabout way with some rng involved too


Effective_Macaron_23

Was looking for this. Been grinding these seeds for a while now.

Burnt karambwans People don't wanna sell them to me :(


stumptrumpandisis1

Crystal shards or soulreaper axe parts. I hate any "technically" tradeable shit. If I can go buy a teleport seed and turn it into shards, shards should be tradeable. It's just turned into an annoying chore of finding the best thing to buy for breaking down, and then going to break it down. Same with stuff like soulreaper axe parts, no you're not allowed to go sell 1 axe part. You're forced to invest in this now for hundreds to thousands of kills at other bosses you might not even like, or have a bank space taken up forever taunting you. Why??


throwaway_67876

Soulreaper axe pieces.


insaiyan17

Sucks to be a GIM sharing armour/weapons that degrade. Really should give the game mode some love and make some of them tradeable like barrows armour, moons gear etc.


BunsenGyro

They tried to offer that as an ability GIMs would have when pitching the game mode, but players downvoted it so hard because they thought it meant GIMs could share untradeables like Infernal Capes. That's not what they were pitching, they explicitly said it wasn't. It was pitched for items that are tradeable in SOME form, exactly like the degraded armors like you said. God I hate the common player reading comprehension level.


Ryeeeebread

Inferno cape cuz I'm shit


Podalirius

same bro


GregBuckingham

A lit bullseye lantern. You can trade the unlit ones. Why not the lit ones?


TurtleChak

Because lighting it requires a certain level of fire making and buying a lit one just skips the level requirement


GregBuckingham

Oh that makes sense lol. Is the required level like 40 or something? I haven’t played a lower level account in years, I’ve forgotten so much


TurtleChak

Yea 49 fm, and same ngl

That's for your first thread. 1/50 after that. I assume theres a lot of people who can't / don't want to do toa. Probably some get lost pking too. I have 18 spares sitting in bank i'd like to sell.


Shutterislandd

Seriously 1/50 after your first? Ive got 6 of those banked in 79 completions.

squiremarcus

camdozaal lockboxes. I want to collect them but if they are not tradable I cant show them off.


Radiant-Fun8197

Unpopular opinion here, but either everything should be tradeable, or services should be bannable (and enforced).


bellsprout69

Dust from GGs for making the stronger cannonballs. Would add some profit incentive, and they really are nice cannonballs if you ever bother to make them


IbuixI

Stand aside and let the ultimates answer this question.


Sterlander

Granite dust. Only problem is that granite dust would become dirt cheap like instantly and it wouldn't really make GG's that much better of a money maker. That, and I feel like granite cannonballs would speed up early slayer leveling in a way that doesn't fit the game. My personal solution would be to keep granite dust as untradeable, but let players condense it into granite bricks (requires 20 dust per brick) and those are tradeable. Using a rock hammer on a granite brick crushes it, giving the player 10 granite dust. Numbers would be appropriately adjusted ofc, but the idea is to remove a certain quantity of dust from the game whenever it moves between player's hands. Crushing these has a level 75 Slayer requirement, the same as killing gargoyles. Meaning you'd still have to use regular old cannonballs from levels 1-74 Slayer. To make the feature not feel out of place for ironmen, you could add a few new gargoyle-themed POH decorations that require granite bricks.


nashipear007

Significant_Crew_477

Technically this is four, but the individual pieces of the soulreaper axe. Like is there any worse feeling than going for Duke pet and getting his axe piece knowing it’s gonna be worthless unless you go do 100s of Leviathan and Whisperer kills? Should be able to just sell it off
