My only issue with this update is the cost disparity for low level elemental runes in the shop.

 

100 Mind Runes = 700 GP

100 Mind Runes in a Pack = 10,000 GP

 

100 Air Runes = 800 GP

100 Air Runes in a Pack = 10,000 GP

 

100 Water Runes = 800 GP

100 Water Runes in a Pack = 10,000 GP

 

etc

 

I'm guessing this was done to prevent splashing but in reality its just excessive, you're completely forgetting about new Iron men who won't be able to afford any of the new packs due to the extreme price gouging and if the shop isn't meant for them then why even allow Iron Men to buy from it in the first place.

 

And since all the runes are super low price in comparison to the packs it results in 1 person buying out the whole shop for no more than 200,000 gold (And thats including Mind Runes, and why not throw in another 70k gold for the 5000 Body Runes even though they are useless.)

 

5000 x Air Runes = 40K,

5000 x Water Runes = 40K,

5000 x Earth Runes = 40K,

5000 x Fire Runes = 40K,

5000 x Mind Runes = 35K,

 

Total: 195K Coins to fully wipe the shop, or 265K including the Body runes if you wanna be a bit cheeky.

 

Its absolutely crazy. The two best options would be to

 

1) Increase the price of elemental runes across the board to try deter people buying out the whole shop for literally less than 200k gold.

 

OR

 

2) Lower the price of packs and increase the amount in the shop.

 

OR

 

3) Add a snowball effect to the cost like in normal OSRS to prevent people ripping the whole shop.

am totally with you, and why can normies buy from it too?

Thank you.

Just be grateful you can even buy runes now.

No support. Alora already has OP methods of obtaining runes for Ironman. Never had an issue with it on any Ironman acc I’ve ever made.

If there was already OP methods why was this shop introduced? Because it certainly wasn't for normal accounts lol.

The shop is most likely not intended as a main way for ironman to get runes, i think its more of a way for ironman that do not wanna obtain runes in a different way and are willing to pay to get the runes in a faster.

[2 Ridiculous]

Not too big of a fan of how the shop is either (quantity wise), only thing thats worth my time is buying earth runes lmao. 250~ bloods split over hundreds of ironman (and normies?) is a big yikes from me

[Ultimate Egg]

IMO shops a good thing for ironmen who don't want sit and grind out runes but have extra cash they don't mind sparing. 

 

Increase the cost of runes and massively increase the stock of the shop. Make it so that if you want to get runes this way you always have the option to but it comes at a huge money cost.

I think the shop is balanced just fine. Even based on your calculations, 200-300k isn’t hard to come by at all ESPECIALLY with slayer, which is when you’re going to need runes anyways. No?

I really like the change, it makes early game ironman a lot more smooth and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the shop prices.

@Cainn, I am going to close this thread now.
