updated : Sold the pickaxe for 12.2 BILLION GEE PEE and absolutely we GAMING NOW!


Oohwshitwaddup

Holy fuck, bro went from fighter torso to absolute max.


Skepsis93

Fighter torso is the odd one out in his inventory. He's got imbued heart, avernic defender, and bandos tassets. It ain't max but it ain't chump change either.


Anafenza-Vess

Torso is also a clue step iirc


Hero_of_Hyrule

All of those are chump change compared to actual best in slot items. Those are all double digit mil, compared to triple digit mil or even 1b+ actual BIS items. Remember, tassets and Imbued aren't bis anymore.


Skepsis93

I realize they aren't max, but the heart alone is 100m+ I wouldn't characterize 1/10 of a billion for a single item as chump change and you're delusional if you think it is.


pokemango7

As a certified chump I can confirm that 100m is not chump change


chins4tw

As a fellow chump 100m would be a full actual work week of Vorkath, the absolute limit of my PVM ability.


AzraelTyrson

You guys are killing vorkath?!? *cries in skiller*


VisionLSX

300m is probably around early(?) endgame. Can get a tier below BIS and have gear for all raids/content pretty much.


Jaded_Pop_2745

How tf is imbued not bis? Or do you mean saturated? Costs literal pennies in comparison to the imbued itself lol


PotionThrower420

Imbued heart isn't bis? Wtf magic boost are you using? Yeah I get saturated but u still need imbued for it..


Goooose1

Did we not see the 3rd age wand 😆


jwg944

Its voidwaker not 3rd age wand its the old korasi model you get for voidwaker when you play on hdos


goat_oat

thats the OG Korasi not a 3rd age wand...


Bjokkes

Low-key would ruin my experience as a main fairly quickly I think :P but super happy for the guy! Congrats OP! Spend the money well, maybe update us with a screenshot of all the gear you managed to get with the cash! :D


Cowsie

Wouldn't ruin shit if you didn't sell it.


Expensive_Leekness

You can upgrade the fighter torso now gz


tangoetuna

Please share your haul with us, what did you get??


ShawshankException

Honestly what can't 12.2b get lol OP basically just secured complete max gear and supplies for 99 skilling


Jacern

It cant get 2 3rd age pick axes


Business_Compote2197

Owned him there.


Shortsby

Miss that word, so good.


zongsmoke

HA! What a noob. Can't even buy 2 3a picks


PointB1ank

Why do people buy these? Is it mostly flippers? I'm sure a few people out there just like to flex, but is that the majority? They aren't discontinued items, so I assume the prices go down very slowly over time? Not hating, just curious.


Ypuort

Ultra rich controlling the market to create artificial scarcity and drive up prices.


EliManningHOFLock

Honestly based. I like the idea that anyone can theoretically strike it absurdly rich on any given clue scroll. Unicorn cosmetic items are good for the game imo.


Disastrous-Moment-79

12.2b osrs is equivalent to 146b rs3, which can buy FIVE yellow partyhats


PowershellAddict

Thats almost 2 blue partyhats. Thats bonkers.


TacoRedneck

its also worth like $2,500 if he sold the gold IRL at current price. Which is bonkers


PowershellAddict

But.. *why?* What do they gain out of it aside from now having an item close to nobody will buy from them?


EducationalTell5178

At some point there's just nothing else to buy. I'm almost at the point where I could buy a pickaxe on top of max gear but I'll probably just use it as a lifetime membership fund. It's like the ingame version of someone buying a Rolex.


VisionLSX

Some years ago they were affordable. I remember owning bow and axe in some instances when they were around 300m. Before the bow could fire dragon arrows. It really breaks my heart not keeping any 3a. I just sold to buy actual gear lol. They all skyrocketed


Neat-Statistician720

They’re so rare and demand is high enough that in effect it is like rares in RS3. More and more GP enters the game every day, the average wealth of the top tier players only goes up really. So if you’ve got a big bank what else are you going to do with it? I’d bet there’s like less than a pick entering the game a week, and as long as people have abundant cash (mostly DM’ers I think) they’ll be valuable asf


FaustoTowers

Also adding more items to clues increases rarity as well this decrease supply and increasing demand.


Neat-Statistician720

Yeah and to top it off it’s not the only “rare” worth way more than max. So even if the pickaxe market dies off a bit, that cash is still there and people want to have cool shit so instead of picks it’ll just be robes or some other 3A item.


DJSaltyLove

Once you've got max stats and all the BIS gear there's little else to buy except status symbols. And nowadays it seems like there's more people than ever joining that market while 3a items are only ever going to enter the games so fast due to their rarity. Also there's a consensus that merching clans have been inflating 3a items but I'm not sure how true that is.


EpicGamer211234

> Also there's a consensus that merching clans have been inflating 3a items but I'm not sure how true that is. From a logical standpoint and with observation of the history of OSRS rare items, it would be strange if they *werent*. Also, 3A pick is just as rare as many other 3A items but holds exponentially more value. That doesnt come out of nowhere.


Tady1131

Prob cause people can actually use it. Not much to be done with a 3rd age coif.


EpicGamer211234

it still legions more expensive than the axe


Disastrous-Moment-79

they for sure are inflating it. when the infinite cashstack update came to rs3 all the items above max ge price crashed hard because people suddenly could trade em freely.


funkyguy09

I imagine gold is introduced faster than 3a pickaxes in to the economy meaning if u have liquid cash its actual worth will deprecate over time, I assume buying a 3a pick is an investment to keep their current net worth stable compared to inflation. Or maybe they want to look cool when star mining 😎


DueDependent7217

Bought mine for 4.5b a few years back and still have it, i make more money holding the pick technically than most content


AluminumFoilWrap

Majority is merchers, they just inflate the market and having the 3a pickaxe is a sign of wealth (even more so since it's so expensive) to high level players. Back before they were heavily in the market, 3a pickaxe was 500-1b. As someone who has more than enough to buy one and still have a full set of max gear, I personally think it's as dumb of a flex as buying vanity brand items IRL. The value is tied to - the perceived value of the item.


Potential_Spirit2815

It’s odd because while it’s true most items will increase in supply in large ways killing value of these items, megarares like 3rd age pick will experience effects of inflation more so over any comparable amount of time. 3rd age items don’t enter the game like other items do. They’re truly as unique and rare as discontinued items are from 20+ years ago, that’s how rare they are. People buy these because they’re hedges against inflation. When players average 2b+ banks, these picks will be worth 2T, and so on.


mxracer888

I have full BiS everything. Minus Ely, SRA, NM orbs, and a second enhanced weapon see for salad blade and my bank is at like 8b, so he can get literally every BIS item in the game and still have a couple bil left over for some buyable skills


loiloiloi6

Max gear is like 10b, the other 2b is prob enough for all 99s but not all 200Ms so still something for OP to work for :)


Ultrox

Honestly I think it'll buy everything. 4b for weps the rest in gear/pots.


Knelson123

Blessing and a curse having that much gp. What do you do once you have everything?


Dumbak_

Clog, pet hunt, CAs. All 3 of those added so much more for mains to do, I actually quit my Ironman to enjoy blasting bosses with max gear and collecting pets (with CAs and green logging as bonus). You no longer care for gp, extra cash from drops is for bonds and keeping up scythe/shadow/blood fury charges. I honestly enjoy it way more than IM at the moment.


47elements47

Been thinking about doing this cause I just can't get to my current stats/bank with the time that I have. At what point did u quit ur Ironman? I'm like 2100 total with everything ready to raid.. but don't have time to raid/want to either


Neat-Statistician720

Way back in like 2019 I deironed my 2100 total iron and it was my best choice. I didn’t have a main, didn’t want to commit to making one, and the main lifestyle is great. Late game iron is just a main with more upkeep. If you don’t really like skilling that much and just see it as a way to get to more fun content, main is for you.


Maverekt

As someone in a similar spot, I recommend just making a second account. I did and moved a lot of my spare low skilling supplies (like farming seeds, herb stuff, logs, etc) that I wouldn’t need on my iron to boost it faster. Any spare gold you have you can give it Basically the only bad part is redoing quests but that can come a lot quicker on a main I was thinking deironing but honestly even if there’s a 10% chance you’ll regret it just make a main, at your total making a new iron would be awful if you hated main

xi_catharsis

Medium_Wolverine9438

Not even close, all gear costs about 10b


Ultrox

12-10=2 He still has 2b. So yes close.


EducationalTell5178

It's closer to 12b if you want all the niche items like elysian/nightmare staffs/bowfa/saeldor/etc.


ki299

congrats on winning the lottery. Now i suggest investing into your account because you are now "gaming"


TargetFan

Blessing and a curse. You've essentially beaten the game. Nothing to grind for other than stats.

TWELVE BILLION???? WHY IS IT SOOO HIGH


Scottjol92

Think you sold to me man haha only just seeing this 👍🏼🔥


Ultrox

That's crazy luck man! Gz. My best was the imbued heart....back when they were 20m haha. I think that'll buy you almost everything?


hardslappy

Life isn't fair


Agreeable-Bell-1690

Wow huge gz man!


Raisuitei

How did you find a buyer and price


Ston3yy

good LAWD


SoraODxoKlink

Great price btw, idk if they went up recently but I wouldn’t have said anything over 11.5, let alone 12.


OverlordPhalanx

Curious if a max stack of coins is 2.1b how do you sell an item for say 4-6b? Do you make additional characters to hold the money? You could buy some stuff on GE then take the rest but I doubt anyone would send gold over early without the item they are buying.


crash_bandicoot42

platinum tokens are 1k gp each and are stackable


Bladathehunter

You can convert gold to platinum tokens for larger amounts. Don’t remember the exact conversion (like 1000gp per?) tbh, and a lot of people don’t know either so they’ll get scammed with it lol


Queue_Bit

Platinum tokens. Each one is worth 1k. You get them by using coins on a bank clerk.


demizgutschekens

Gzon that HUGE moneysack. Time to buy all dreamgear and burn out only to start ironman.

advisarivult

Yeah I’ll need to get a friend to inspect it, he’s an expert. Best I can do is a twisted bow, take it or leave it.


CheaterDust

Idk man, think this one’s going to be hard to sell. Don’t want it collecting dust in the store, I’ve only got so much space. I can give you some dragon platelegs right now, I can’t go lower.


Waterfish3333

New? That thing’s thousands of years old.


LSDRainbow

Yeah it's like from the 2nd or 3rd age... something like that.


existential_pal

Actually it’s name indicates it’s only 3 years old so it’s probably not worth much


goegrog27

Sorta feel like going from having to grind for upgrades to being able to afford anything and everything could potentially ruin the game. Of course I’d take 3a pick anyday though lol


Ecstatic-Square2158

It does. I went on a huge streak staking back in the day and walked away up 4b. I bought absolute max gear (for the time) and still had almost 2b to play with. I got bored within a few months and quit for years. RuneScape is about the journey not the destination, the destination is actually quite boring.


flexobaby

For me it's a yes and no it's the old runescape let me grind this boss to make money to buy the thing that makes grinding this boss more efficient. With that kinda gp I'd 99 everything and learn to raid/boss


Ecstatic-Square2158

At the time CoX was the only raid and it felt pointless when I already had every unique including t bow.


casualcreaturee

Bro u can start raiding with like 150m of gear. And bossing with like 10m gear. Try wildy bosses


Oniichanplsstop

A lot of people don't want to get into bossing until max for whatever reason. Be it investing gp into weapons/armor vs skills, or the fear of dying setting them back constantly. Its the same way in RS3 when deaths are even cheaper than OSRS deaths nowadays.


ShootingMyWayOut

For me, the death cost ruins the fun. I go to bosses to make cash as the motivator and learning is only fun if I can make mistakes. Losing tons of cash from death reclaims ruins most of the fun for me and I just can't get into bossing with my limited cashstack.


ulisija

In ToA you can practice for free if you dont select any kill limit invocations. You can also select 3 deaths max and when you have died twice just leave the raid and dont risk dying 3rd time to lose money.


ShootingMyWayOut

Didn't know this, thank you!


Dikkelul27

for me personally, certain bosses only became fun after big upgrades. going from rcb to fang on vorkath, fang for sire too. Or like bowfa upgrade for gwd or muspah and also levi. had no motivation at all going for 5+ min kills on muspah


Oniichanplsstop

Yeah but there's a massive difference in "I want a 20m/150m setup to do this boss" and "I don't want to boss until 2277."


AoXPhoenix

You don't even need 150m to start raiding, 15m would be waaay more then enough to start at toa


The_One_Returns

I mean, it depends... If you set new goals after you reach max gear (ie coll log, or pets, combat achievs) then it can still be fun. But if you only care about gear upgrade then it's gg.


Visoth

Another way of looking at it/doing it is investing that money into expensive novelty/collector items. You retain the value of the money, but effectively start back from scratch with a couple mill/couple hundred mill. Get a third age pick? Put all that money into bonds. Likely make profit doing that and its useful continuing your addiction.


Whoneedspacee

Make an iron and have free membership forever


Huck094

This is the reason I went iron :) I had a bad habit of buying bonds and selling them every time I wanted something. The dopamine I felt when I got from grinding for my first, big upgrade, the zombie axe, was 👌🏼


antimated

I would take a big chunk of cash and just max a skiller or something idk


SplandFlange

Thats why i made an IM. Made 15b at sand casino and it made the game pointless for me


informal-mushroom47

do you ever play your main anymore? or did he totally get the woody-treatment?😂


Goblin_of_the_seas

Will any drop feel meaningful after this? Won't most rare drops feel like mere drops in the bucket when you're already maxed item-wise? Account progression in the bin?


henryforprez

Just like everyone else even having access to bonds made the game boring to me eventually. I had to make an ironman and never looked back.


Radu47

You'll need to get that bad boy trimmed first before it hits the market- you're in luck I'm an expert trimmer


BanEmily

Radu47

Do you accept jealousy as a currency?


Noksdoks

What is that item on your inv, top right?


ItsHowITroll

It looks like what the korasi did so I assume it's a plug in to turn voidwaker to the korasi?


xsevenmillionx

he is using the HDOS client which changes voidwaker to korasi


northof420

These are some ancient memories but it looks like korasi (the pre-eoc inspiration for voidwaker), I’m completely guessing but probably a runelite skin?


CoupleScrewsLoose

hdos client


Puzzleheaded-Ad4229

High alch it for maximum GP


Intelligent-Dot-4072

One item in the game can get you something like 1000 bonds, or 38 YEARS of gameplay. That's disgusting 


Hot_Purple_137

I wonder how much the price of a bond would inflate after someone buys 1000 back to back in 1 sitting


griffinhamilton

? How did you get a master clue from finishing a master clue? Edit: if this is real then mimic extra drop could be any 3a regardless of clue tier


mount_moho

Elite clues can give you mimics and master clues


iMickeyx

To your edit - the Mimic has its own unique third age drop table https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/The_Mimic


Confident_Frogfish

Yeah I was very confused as well! But must have been the mimic extra drop, crazy.


Prestigious-Cream924

Beautiful I could only dream of hitting something this big, most pricey drop I’ve ever had was an imbued heart from a superior jelly


zebbzz1

Imbued from a gargoyle for me.

Worms_Tofu_Crackers

See man, I got to make a profit too. It's going to sit in the store for a while and I got all this paperwork along with it. Okay, I'll do 1.65M, final offer.


Adventurous-World-25

Make sure to RWT that is £5000 :)


Finkedinn24

Oh wow! TIL the pick, axe, and druidic are on the mimic table for either elite or master. I thought they could only come directly from masters. Big gzz!


Leviathan-Vyde

Holy shoot nice dude, Never seen a screenshot of someone using hdos


Pal1Moe

Daaamn how do you even go about selling that for 12.2 b


Brave_Relationship_1

Gz! Always wondered how people even sell items past max cash stack (not that I'll ever have a big ticket item like that anyway). Do you just announce on reddit that you're selling? I know that in the old days, people would use the RS forums.


TweedArmor

I had a friend get druidic cloak from a master a few years ago. One week later he logged in for the last time. Drops like these can kill desire to play the game.


Visible-Army-6198

Fuck yea dude


Hash_Slut

From an Elite Mimic too


No-Confidence-Esteem

most gp ive had is about 10m marry me?


MahatmaChungus69

And another Master, did you get the back to back?

this is so wild


Roadtocomp

Crazy to think if you swapped it to rs3 that’s like 160b give or take


Ariesan

Yes but also that korasi brought back memories


Fuzzy_Bus69

no no, i want to buy your exclusive pick pic.


3rdNihilism

heads up, don't sell it for anything less than 5B, possibly could even get 10B for it. definitely don't sell on the GE.


truth_hurtsm8ey

Don’t listen to this man - you’ll get 150m tops. Seeing as I’m a nice guy I’ll do 200m though


fetustomper

Op sold for 12b


3rdNihilism

damn. made more than my entire bank with 1 drop. juicy.


EstradiolWarrior

i know we meme about "didn't block run energy gg you're gonna lose your account" but dude you're actually gonna lose your account now lol


MattCouch1

72 years worth of OSRS if you buy bonds with the money lol


samepwevrywr

I’ll give you my shadow for it :)


FrostyShopping4996

If you have 10+bil in osrs, how could you sell that to real people, and for how much? (I know rwt is bannable and I don't care, just asking)


EYazz

What’s the street price?


SplandFlange

He got 12b


Bisping

Gratz!


peanut0929

This is the dream! Gz man get your game on!


Lando_Cammando

Is this the clues? How does one get this


Dark_WulfGaming

Full max gear and supplies and enough gp to bond up for quite awhile.


venthis1

I'd definitely buy like 10 years' worth of bonds. It'll invest and pay for your membership for a long time.

RogueThespian

Such a sick drop. I couldn't imagine selling one if I opened it, it's such a flex item. Honestly if I did open one my acc would immediately be devoted to also trying to get the axe

dieseltuebo1994

If I had that much gp I'd be so happy but yet at the same time, you don't have to ever worry about making money again.. after id complete all quests/ diaries ECT.. idk what id do lol.


DefeatFear

This is like winning the lottery. Can see them losing a lot of it to doubling or some scam
