godswords are the best weapons in runescape, but do they really worth the money? same with the spirit shields, i dont think they really worth that much because they are not even as good as the dragon fire shield which can attack too. discuss what you think about those.

Supply and demand decide the price of an item for one as old as the godsword. They hit the highest out of all the melee weapons in the game, and they are very hard to obtain.
So my answer is, "Of course they should be worth that much."

Well they are the best weapons in runescape and very hard to obtain but i think that they should be a bit cheaper

I'd be careful saying they're the best weapon in the game - best for GWD maybe, but not for everything

In my opinion most things are overpriced right now, but hopefully it will rebalance. Only time will tell.

It is a pretty rare weapon, and it has really good attack bonuses, that is why it is sought out so much. Hence the big price.

And for spirit shields:
Their ability is far better than the DFS' and, they are extremely rare and therefor should be worth how much they are.

If people are willing to pay that price, then they shouldn't be any cheaper.

The players determine the price. It is our call on how much things cost. Just look at the d-pickaxe!

Yeah it dropped down to 11M, and it looks like it's staying near there for a while.

Well, think of how much time it takes to get a Godsword.
Hilts aren't a very common drop, and it takes a high smithing level to put the thing together.
Add in its strength and powerful Spec, I think it's pretty much right the amount it's worth right now.

if people want them so bad, then they should be worth more, imo. if no one wants them, weather they're bad or whatever, they drop. its that simple.

Their price is determined by the players. If they were overpriced then the price would drop. When you think about it, 60-80M for a SGS is fine considering you can get more than that off 99 slayer. And an AGS? It's the most overpowered weapon in game! I'd rather have that than a purple phat

ZGS is great in specific situations like castle wars, and Bandos is the second best overall weapon against boss monsters because of its defense lowering special attack and large attack bonus, only topped by Statius' Warhammer

Sigils are very hard to obtain as 1) Corp has 2k hp and takes a fair amount of time to kill and 2) the drop rate isnt very high and 3) alot of the sigils are splits, no new sigils added to the game. So yes the prices are justified to a point (they are manipulated by merchers) And the godswords are great for pvp, which alot of people enjoy.

To your last part, I believe that CoinShare puts the item up for sale on the G.E. but gives you the money instantly:
QUOTE
If you'd prefer to have item drops converted to coins and distributed equally across your clans, you can use CoinShare. To activate CoinShare, the clan chat channel owner will need to open their Clan Chat Setup interface and click on the CoinShare icon (shown to the right).
When CoinShare is running, LootSharing will remain the same for low-value items; items will be allocated to members of the clan channel according to how 'lucky' they have been with previous LootSharing monster drops. For high-value items, however, there will be a definite difference: the item will be converted into cash and shared equally amongst all of those who are eligible to receive a share. The coins will be dropped on the floor like any other drop.
The total number of coins is based on the item's lowest value on the Grand Exchange. The item will also be added to the Grand Exchange at its mid-range price. Any items sold on the Grand Exchange from CoinSharing will have no effect on that item's market value.

You need to know what they do because
1.) Godswords were worth 100M before updates.
2.) The high priced shield reduce 33% of damage.

As Supply is low, because they are so rare, Demand is really high. Both of these together cause a High Price.

Yes, Godswords should be worth as much as they're worth now. Supply & demand also say it should be.

Yes, they are expensive for a reason.
Because when people go to Kree in groups, and get a hilt drop, and it gets split.
The cash may then be used to buy an armadyl godsword, adding to the demand and taking away the supply.
This works for pretty much all gwd items.
It's good that they are expensive else they'd be considered as riskable.

Even If they are, who can change it? That's like saying google stock is worth too much. Supply and demand decide- we decide.

like loads of people have been saying its supply and demand loadsss of people work to earn cash for godswords and this creates huge demand for the lowers like bgs and zgs, if youve earned all that cash youll be willing to pay like 400k more easily for something you worked to hard to achieve, even if your not you pretty much have to lol 76king has inflated the prices so much aswell because people who used to have no money now have ~20-40m which they want to use on items like bandos armour, godswords, armadyl which has caused the high prices
sigils just rock teh kazba with the bonuses and usually they are obtained from lootshare, not coinshare from corp ffa's. This, combined with the huuuuuge street price of sigils like div and ely means people are unwilling to sell their sigils: to show off that they got a drop from corp or just waiting for the ge to catch up with the street prices. Most of the sigils that have been obtained off the ge end up in the hands of merchers and often stays within a small group of people who are only willing to sell for higher than they bought for, pushing prices up more
bascially yeah why not, if they werent they wouldnt be that high anyway lolol

I don't think they should be. Why? 101m for a 2handed sword. 101m! That doesn't take a simple day to get. I guess 28m or so if fine, but anything above 70m is waaaay overpriced.
Stella
Nov 8 2009, 09:19 AM
If they're the best melee weapon on rs, then the price is pretty fair.
I think they should all be the same price though, it's sort of weird that one is 30 million and the other is 100+ million even though they pretty much have the same bonuses.
Supply&Demand shouldn't have an effect on it.

It just so happens that it has the arguably best pvp special in the game. They are worth their price.
