Tthe excitement about Sara brews has died down—though they have settled at still rather high values—and it looks like the “potion of the week” this time is antifires. It would appear a lot of people have decided to hunt for their charms at dragons (which isn’t a good place for them, but that’s a different story.) So we see big moves up in dragon scales and the potions themselves.

Rune essence and pure essence took a big leap on speculation about Runecrafting gloves that may be a reward from the upcoming minigame. They have actually dropped down a bit since the time this data was collected, so we’ll see some correction next week. What happens when the minigame is actually released is anyone’s guess at this point.

The big loser this week was eye of newt. I could try to come up with an explanation for this, but the only honest thing I can say is that I have no idea why this happened. J It’s not like eyes had been particulary expensive beforehand... ranger boots, on the other hand, had shot up to very high prices. Red chinchompas had also hit record highs and came down to earth a bit.

Three of the five index leaders were related to drops, which is why combat indices had a nice week. Prayer recovered as well, due to a correction in bone prices, which had hit very high levels. On the losing side, Runecrafting led the way, due to the essence price increase, which was not matched at all by rune price rises. Hunter also had a bad week, but mostly due to good weeks prior.
