TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/02/04) TWIRP Combat and Monster Drop Value Indexes Report and Analysis (2008/02/04)

This section of the report highlights the weekly results for the skill-based indexes. There are two different types of indexes tracked here: composite indexes broken down by level (which include all skills), and indexes by skill type (which include all levels). For more details on these indexes, please see TWIRP Skill Indexes; if you are not familiar with TWIRP as a whole, please refer to the TWIRP Quick Guide before proceeding.

Skill Composite Yield (Low-Level) [TWIRP-S(l)]: 99.4 +0.2% p
Skill Composite Yield (Mid-Level) [TWIRP-S(m)]: 99.4 -1.0% q
Skill Composite Yield (High-Level) [TWIRP-S(h)]: 100.2 -1.1% q

The levels continue their convergence trend from last week, with all three skills now very close to their original 100 levels!

Construction Affordability (TWIRP-S-CONa): 96.6 -0.9% q

Thieving Income (TWIRP-S-THVi): 94.0 -1.1% q
Woodcutting Income (TWIRP-S-WCi): 85.6 +0.2% p

Big difference from last week, when there were many winners and losers; this time, things are a bit more “mellow”, though most indexes went down slightly. Slayer benefitted from increasing drop values and a moderation in supply costs, and Fishing and Hunter posted slight gains. The big loser was Cooking, due almost entirely to increases in raw material costs.
