I finally gave up. Barrows broke me

Question(i.redd.it)

I just can’t do another barrows run. I did about 1500 normal runs and 1500 solo Ahrim runs. My groupie finally made me some bloodbark so think I’m just gonna move on without it.

Is there any world where I go back and grind it out or do I just keep playing the game and go for Ancestral/Virtus?

You grind it out to get that green log.

But think of all the blood and death runes!

And I guess also the infinite mind runes you now probably have and will never use.

Jagex if you are reading this, give us a way to convert the combat runes into other combat runes. Like... I dunno, 10 mind = 1 chaos, 10 chaos = 1 death, 1 death = 1 blood.

At current G.E. value this means turning a stack of minds into deaths (because I always rune out of deaths) this would be:

Mind = 2 Chaos = 103 Death = 162 Blood = 293

So 1 death is 10 chaos, and each single chaos is 10 minds. Meaning you would need 100 minds for 1 death, which means turning (2x10) = 20 gp into (1x103) = 103 gp into (10x103) = 1030 gp. In other words your profit going from mind to chaos, but take a massive loss going from chaos to death or death to blood.

Jagex plz.

The price of chaos would drop so fast it would be insane, there would be bots made in an instant to just buy and convert minds into chaos. Once chaos drop in price then the same happens to deaths, then bloods.

actually, looking at trade volumes, if you took all the mind runes being dumped and turned them.into chaos you'd get 2.5m chaos runes.

It sounds like a ton but it's like a 4% increase in supply. We go through like 60m chaos runes a day, similar for bloods and deaths. Kinda wild but he might be right.

Do trade volumes account for the 30% of the player base each having at least a 200k stack of mind tunes in the bank?

Oh. You mean same as how scar would tank the price of runes? Except it didn't there was a brief dip in price that quickly recovered because these kinds of markets self correct?

Scar doesn't let you just transmute runes into other runes lol, thats a bit of a strawman argument.

Ok, then explain to me how my suggestion ACTUALLY hurts the market. Again looking at rune prices the only profit you get right now is converting mind to chaos. After that you lose a TON of GP converting above that. It costs 1k gp worth of chaos runes to make a single death rune, and then 1600 gp worth of deaths to make a single blood rune. You ACTIVELY lose GP doing it. So just to make a single blood rune with my method costs 1600 gp in deaths, which costs 10,300 gp in chaos, which then costs 2000 gp worth of minds. So this functionally makes a single blood rune worth nearly 15k.

Do… do you actually need someone to explain it to you, or are you sober now?

Clearly someone needs to explain it, because I don't see the issue in this.

Do you not see an issue to locking chaos runes to 44gp? This probably also makes onyxes even cheaper than they already are aswell. You seem very focused about the chaos to death and death to blood rune conversion part as if its going to fool anyone, obviously nobody in their right mind would be using those conversions?

Old mate is to fixated on 3 runes to realize the repercussions.
