TWIRP Weekly Winners and Losers (2008/02/11) TWIRP Combat and Monster Drop Value Indexes Report and Analysis (2008/02/11)

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 (High-Level) [TWIRP-S(h)]: 98.6 -1.6% q

All skill levels declined approximately evenly this week, continuing the consolidation trend from the week prior.

Woodcutting Income (TWIRP-S-WCi): 85.8 +0.2% p

Not a great week for skillers. The only one gaining appreciably was Hunter, aided by a jump in chinchompa prices (both types). Prayer affordability dipped after having risen earlier in the year, as bone prices corrected, while Runecrafting was again made less affordable by creeping pure essence prices and drops in rune values. Cooking is being greatly affected by rising fish and other food prices.
