In real life, gold was considered a safe haven against high rates of inflation. Traditionally, people considered gold as a good thing to buy during times of high-inflation since gold would appreciate in value during times of high inflation (whereas paper money loses a percentage of its value during times of high inflation).

Question: Considering that Runescape is currently undergoing serious inflation (thereby undermining Runescape gp value), are there any common F2P items (e.g. raw trout/salmon/tuna/swordfish, coal, yew logs, Wine of Zamorak, cooked lobster, etc.) that could be bought in Runescape that would serve as a solid safe haven against inflation? Or in other words, what common Runescape F2P items could be bought that will maintain their value (i.e. rise in price at the % inflation rate) while Runescape inflation occurs?

I highly doubt that gold bars / gold ore in Runescape would be the anti-inflation safe haven that gold in real life is, but if Runescape gold bars / gold ores is your answer, then by all means select it.

coals pretty reliable only really changes when an associated item peaks

you can never tell with the amount of updates the game has though, look at herbs after the herby update no one saw that happening and fire runes only dropped after the price floors were removed
