I feel like lately items have been selling for a ridiculously low price.

 

It's normal for this to happen but I feel like some tweaks need to be done to ad least make some item worth more than what they are now.

 

Prices fluctuate so much, I cant keep up. I posted in general discussion as I need the community to enlighten me and/or share their feedback.

 

Am I the only one feeling this way ?

Which items in particular do you feel their prices are fluctuating? Just curious on how you came to this conclusion.

I agree with you somewhat as example blowpipe is only 20m at the moment and the items is great and useful for many things. Yes it is not the most expensive item on OSRS either, but some of the items which are almost BIS are so low priced items still. Not necessarily aware what causing the issue other than more items coming to the in-game everyday and the amount of money coming to the in-game doesn't match up to that. Still can say proudly that Alora has one of if not the best economys as the server has been up over two years and still not that much money in-game.

I don't necessarily think the economy is in a 'bad state' at the moment. For example, I think that Blowpipes at 20m isn't actually too bad, even though it is one of the most useful items in the game, it will stop a lot of people complaining about the item values.

Agreeing with Enzo, don't think it needs to be tweaked all that much.

the tp goes up and down in price frequently. it usually balances itself out though.

I think I would agree - an example would be the tent whip which can sell from between 13m-18m depending on what time of day it is. Considering the low price of the item a 5m disparity is a decent amount.

 

Imo I would like to see core pvm item prices a little bit raised from what they currently are so that players are rewarded more for bossing but i assume there would be unintended consequences by that.

 

Its far from a terrible state as it is rn tho - so maybe trying to fix something that isnt too badly broken would be a bad idea.

It's not as easy when you just start out to farm alot of money untill you get to the point where you don't really need anything else anymore. I used to struggle when I was leveling up and maxing my character. But since I don't need anything anymore to buy as of right now, it's going pretty decent and I get nicely rewarded for my efforts grinding out some monsters and slaying.

I play iron man, so the eco doesn't really bother me to be honest, but it doesn't seem to be to bad. To be fair on ::players it looks as if 75% of the server is iron man lols
