That's a nice method. In theory couldn't you still make 5m a day, compared to the 15m with the method? 24 hours divided by 3 hour waiting = 8. So you could do something in 8 hours that would normally take a day. And making 15m per day is 5m per 8 hours which is 8 hours per day without the method. 5m a day? I'd say that's not nerfed.

I'll explain it now, Jarol can add in to it.


Basicaly, Jagex has done everything in their power to prevent ANYONE from making ANY money, IE pking, staking, merchanting, botting, etc. Although they scrapped botting and PKing/Staking, there was still merchanting. But after I met and spoke to Jarol, he had confirmed a very effective way to bypass the GEs mechanisms to our favor, making us millions.

First off, most may have though that the GE *bleep*ed up merchanting, but in fact, I truely believe it made it easier. Not funner, but easier. Usually a lot of people buy items for cheap, and can't resell them, causing them a fiasco with their money and they instantly give up, selling it for like min and it doesn't sell. Truth it, it won't sell. Jagex has set up an anti-merchant Grand Exchange timer, which prevents everyone from making a quick buck. If you were to buy an item, you generally can't sell it for profit/equal for the next 3 hours.

That is what nobody knew. The Dart knew about it, but didn't quite solve the whole equation as to bypassing it or anything, he just suspected the timer, which is a sign of a goos observant merchant. So whilst the majority of you bought items, and couldn't sell, Jarol and I were firing them out of our asses. Jarol not so much cos he quit to 'train' (pfft, noob) while I no lifed the *bleep*ing bug to earn about 190m in like a month.

So what is the trick? Simple. Jarol and Doofington thought of a very clever yet simple way to bypass this. What they did was bought something for min, traded it over to each other for med (i think its how they did it) and the other guy sold for him. Jarol explained this to me when I was wasted and I didnt understand shit. The next morning he explained it to me, within an hour Pk_Reed was a member and he was ready to roll.

So... When Blue Summer bought say 10 dragon boots for 310k each, when med is 325k... Blue Summmer wouldn't be able to 'sell' those for 3 hours. So he sold them to Pk_Reed and Pk was forced to pay med, which is 325k. Blue Summer spent 3.1m and got 3.25 back, and Pk_reed puts them up for sale for 324k, selling them all in seconds.

Pk_Reed then buys say 10 Obsidian Capes for 301k, sells them to Blue for 315k and blue sells instant. In that short time frame, Blue_Summer made 150k, and Pk_Reed only made about 120k.

Rinse and repeat. I did this tons, I told Gribbz, Cam, and Kakishi about it but neither really wanted to try it, I don't think they quite understood its effectiveness.

Then, one morning a few days after the party hat incident, I couldn't do it. I thought the market was *bleep*ed, but Pk_Reed just wouldn't sell any of his items. I checked the updates, and needless to say on Aril 22nd...

We've made some core changes that will benefit the prices of items that appear stuck or stationary. Items traded between players or via the Grand Exchange will now change price more frequently.

Here you have it. They tweaked it all to affect prices more, but in the process they did something with the trading and selling and it nerfed it.

Now the only way I merchant is I log in in the morning, place a huge order of items for all 3 accounts, come check it at lunch, sell what I bought, then after school rebuy, and before bed sell again.

This isn't effective at all since they *bleep*ed with the prices and amount limit now, so I haven't merchanted in a few days.


The reason I didn't tell many about this, is because I would consider it bug abuse, and yes, I multi-logged to do it. Get over it, I do not care if you wish to say my money was il-earned. I didn't want any of you tryign this and find out you get banned for bug exploitation/multi logging.

Although I offered some people to be the 'mule', where I buy the items off him and sell for him, they didn't really want to try.


So there you go, a piece of history that will stick with my RS Career for years, created by Jarol and Doofington, overused and no lifed by Blue Summer.

I never would have thought of that. very nice way to chest the system. wait.... that makes you a haxor

very sneaky blue

so now GE merching is *bleep*ed? Cuz i noticed right before I stopped merching that my items would change by like 1k frequently.

Wow very intresting method there. Congratz to both Doofington and jarol for finding it out. Did Many people use that method?

ok... Didn't understand a word you said.

Me and Jarol were the only ones I knew about, Jarol hardly did it and as far as I know Doof did it once lol.

Meh, if you ask me the only thing against the rules you did there was the multilogging. That was more an issue of convenience though as you could've just used someone else. Sounds a lot more like clever use of game mechanics. Not to mention it is kinda stupid that jagex has such a problem with people making money.

And I dunno about you but I've had a hell of a time trying to even buy items off the GE since that update. Nothing that should be selling for the prices I'm using is. Oh well.

see i knew about the re-selling time limit i was half way rigth should of though of that lol but too late

To Necros: Exactly what I'm saying. After that nerf, they only *bleep*ed with the items even more. Tbh I've given up merchanting.

Blue Summer: 36m
Pk_Reed: 46m
Pay_Merchant: 4m

Meh.

thats enough money blue dont forget to add the p hat lol you could gwd with no life or barrows and you be back to like 100m lol

Nah mate, I'd say that I did a good enough return and I think it's time to call it quits again soon

Besides, I've already been buyign rares on Pk_Reed.

God damn it Blue, I'd have traded with you Then I wouldn't have looked like some noob when you were making 90m a week. Anyhow now you guys see that our field of competition wasn't exactly even. Though I will proudly say I managed to make 25m in 4 days playing clean.

When Jarol and I figured it out, I did enough to get me from 3 to 12 mill over a weekend. It was enough for me at the moment, so I didn't do much of it after that.

Hah, awesome. Really clever of you guys to figure it out and exploit it Gg.
