The dramatic shifts in prices of many items led to some big moves in several skill indices this week. Hunter was a big gainer, shooting up over 7% on spiking chinchompa prices; Slayer yield also increased by a health 3.7%. But most skills went down, led by Prayer cost, which was significantly affected by a big spike in dragon bone prices. Firemaking was hit by rising log prices, as was Fletching, while Construction continues its slow, steady lurch downward.
