TWIRP Item Values (2008/04/14) TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/04/14)

In this subsection I describe the results of the highest-level TWIRP composite indexes, as well as the player profiles that illustrate the impact of item price changes on different player types. For more details on these indexes, please see TWIRP Composite Indexes and TWIRP Player Profile Indexes; if you are not familiar with TWIRP as a whole, please refer to the TWIRP Quick Guide before proceeding.

Composite Indexes

Global Composite Yield (TWIRP): 94.8 -0.1% q
Global Composite Affordability (TWIRPa): 94.9 +0.4% p
Global Composite Income (TWIRPi): 99.8 -0.4% q

Skill Composite Yield (TWIRP-S): 97.6 +1.9% p
Combat Composite Yield (TWIRP-C): 91.4 -1.4% q

Overall, another very quiet week, though the offsetting roles played by combat and skilling last week reversed themselves this time. It’s almost certain that this is a result of players shifting to combat in Fist of Guthix. The skilling index was greatly influenced upwards by Runecrafting, just as it went down last week for a similar reason.

Player Profile Indexes

Pure Skiller Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-SKILy): 97.9 +1.8% p
PvM Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-PVMy): 91.5 -1.2% q
PvP Profile Affordability (TWIRP-P-PVPa): 95.4 -0.3% q
Balanced Profile Yield (TWIRP-P-BALy): 94.9 unch

The profiles again mirrored the results of the composite indexes, with skilling and combat diverging by a small amount.
