What happened?

Hi Sals, I am starting to slowly play RS again! I haven't played since 2009 I think, and I could really use some answers to these questions:

 

Why are some items so cheap now? Like the whip. It was around 3.2m when i left, and guthan's was around 15m, and a godsword was like 10-20m+. Now, a whips only 450K, and guthan's is only 3.2m now? And the cheapest godsword is less then 10m now? I'm really surprised...

 

What would be good armor/weapons for me to wield these days? My previous set-up was helm of neit., rune plate, rune legs, d scimmy, d boots, and obsidian cape, glory ammy, and obsidian shield. Username is iGeenius.

 

Thanks! :)

The same thing happened to me.. Just read these guides [Attack - Defence] and this.

Higher end weapons like the whip and godswords have been slowly phased out since the introduction of chaotics. Because of the lower demand, their price has dropped.

I'm not entirely sure about Guthan's but I'd imagine it's because its special ability is no longer needed because players can just survive that long without needing to heal as much, either through prayer or the use of familiars.

 

I'm not sure about your stats because your username doesn't show up in the hiscores. What's your Defence/Attack level, and how much rsgp do you have?

rsgp is a big factor, depending on the gear.

 

i'd go for an amulet of fury first, with whip d boots etc. and just keep your setup atm, minus the glory ofc. but, obviously, this depends on what you have right now.

you should probably do blues/greens until you get a fury and slayer helm than start slaying. that's the best advice i got for you
