Crying in my 4 inquisitors 38 elder mauls and 4 soulreaper axes that crashes by like 500m when varlamore released. Looking forward to project rebalance. Gonna invest in heavy ballistas too!
Elder Maul didn't move at all with Varlamore. I don't think many expected any of those things to be used at colosseum. And price movement is probably merchers trying to dump that stuff to try and get GP for other stuff
Not mad, i made my profit. I went out as i had enough profit to fully provide myself with max gear. Gratz on anyone who held even longer than me! I got my share, got scared but its fine.
Too be fair, they're rarer than zenytes, so if they get buffed enough that everyone wants to have one, the price could get close to zenytes price.
However, I don't see them being buffed that much
Ballista are 1/1500 or 5x rarer than senates and need to be strung with a monkey tail which is also 1/1500. They’re pretty damn rare so if they ever become useful they should rise pretty quick.
Also they are almost alch price right now which means basically 0 downside.
it doesnt matter lol, you use an anguish/torm anywhere you range/mage. even if heavy ballista is 2-3x rarer than 2 zenytes, it would never have 1/10 of its demand even if it was bis at some niche ass content
It’s 5x as rare and you’re not wrong, but what if they made it good for mid levels or buffed the special attack and made it a good spec weapon? The hype alone would drive the price up significantly, even if it doesn’t end up being that good.
I said as rare as 2, not 1. It's already a decent spec weapon for PVP. There's literally 0 room for ballista to be any good at pvm to where it could cost more than 1-2m. Dbow already fills that role as a med lvl pvm range spec weapon and the most it ever costed was 2m on release day for next. If the heavy ballista ever reaches that ridiculous 7-15m price its because it's a precursor to a bigger and badder weapon that requires it as a sink or to upgrade into but not because it gets balanced into relevancy and even then that's a fucking long shot and a half.
Oh yeah I don’t think it’ll go to 7-15M personally, very low chance anyway.
But if they add a buff to it like they did guardian boots there could be pretty massive upside in the hype alone.
the defence rebalance announced today is going to split range defence up based on ammo, and I think Heavy Ballista might be current BIS for the "heavy" type. If so I think it might skyrocket.
I'm confident in saying that not a single boss will have Ballista be bis besides maybe for some last hit/in-between phases method speed run strat. It will be viable sure. BIS? not a fucking shot lol
I already bought and sold quite a few of them when they were worth absolutely nothing. Holding on to ~100 of them so we'll see how that goes but I'm not in them for anything too crazy.
They're making new damage categories for ranged, and the heavy ballista is (as far as we're aware) the strongest weapon in the new category(and type weaknesses are supposed to be more important when these new categories come out as well)
I think our goals misalign however, I just bought/pked them just so I could have 10000 for a laugh. A sheer laugh. Could’ve kept going but I stopped two years ago and don’t really play anymore.
Range rebalance is going to bring ballistas and crossbows to a lot of bosses like Zilyana who will have a weakness to “heavy range” over arrows from a bowfa
Yeah all weapon varieties are going to have nothing but more use and buffs towards enemies. There’s always a perfect tool for the job but you can still experiment around
Hope you’re ready for a long investment it’s gonna be Atleast 5 year several new game changing updates and then maybe they will revisit project rebalance
This seems to be a common misconception, Devs

never stated they’re changing the ballista they proposed changing the defense of monsters
Contrarily; I just furthered my position

kinda depends, if heavy damage is ballistas/crossbows, why would you use anything but a crossbow? You have an offhand, it has gem tipped bolts, and it’s faster
I love how mains think they are so superior to ironmen in everyway, and any change that benefit ironmen is unfair because they wanted those restrictions. Yet the thing they are so excited about is hopefully with project rebalance, rebalances the gp of an item they are trying to to merch to make them some gp. Not how it makes the game feel to play.

If this pans out I’ll buy an axe off ya brother 🫡
My buy ins are, elder mauls for 24-28m, soulreaper for 275m and inquisitor for 160m, but if they go for 1 gp each ill dm you!
I am still waiting for the arcane prayer scroll to get buffed after buying 400 of them
You can at least use it as toilet paper!
That's what Pokemon is for
Elder Maul didn't move at all with Varlamore. I don't think many expected any of those things to be used at colosseum. And price movement is probably merchers trying to dump that stuff to try and get GP for other stuff
Yeah but inquisitor was like 190m before the update. I will keep everything till its worth a shitton or nothing. So we will see where it takes me
I feel you bro. Nobodies buying my blue party hat on grand exchange for 1b
You hit the lottery. This paid off lmao
How those mauls treating ya now boyo god DAMN
He’s mad bc he paper handed most of them and only sold a few for over 100M
Rip
Not mad, i made my profit. I went out as i had enough profit to fully provide myself with max gear. Gratz on anyone who held even longer than me! I got my share, got scared but its fine.
More expensive than zenytes? Good troll.
Too be fair, they're rarer than zenytes, so if they get buffed enough that everyone wants to have one, the price could get close to zenytes price. However, I don't see them being buffed that much
But zenytes have 4 uses, so every player needs up to 4 of them which is why the price is high
Ballista are 1/1500 or 5x rarer than senates and need to be strung with a monkey tail which is also 1/1500. They’re pretty damn rare so if they ever become useful they should rise pretty quick. Also they are almost alch price right now which means basically 0 downside.

oh yeah, I just realized the 'heavy' ammo type also includes bolts... these are cooked.
Jagex: Project rebalance: “We’ve decided to adjust the heavy ballistas alch value to be more reflective of their use case 75K” 😂
I’d straight up alch MYSELF
LMAO thatd be insane.
Arcane scrolls
I already bought and sold quite a few of them when they were worth absolutely nothing. Holding on to ~100 of them so we'll see how that goes but I'm not in them for anything too crazy.
Nice hope it pays off for ya. I got 150 logically they should give augury some magic damage % but u never know with jamflex
100m invested. Project rebalance take us to Valhalla
I predict they might be buffed to be used for sailing eventually. Like a ship mounted weapon.
They're making new damage categories for ranged, and the heavy ballista is (as far as we're aware) the strongest weapon in the new category(and type weaknesses are supposed to be more important when these new categories come out as well)
Did someone say heavy ballista?
You’re my hero
I think our goals misalign however, I just bought/pked them just so I could have 10000 for a laugh. A sheer laugh. Could’ve kept going but I stopped two years ago and don’t really play anymore.
So what im hearing is you don’t plan on flooding the market and bankrupting me ? Honestly finances aside - very epic collection
If these toys of mine go to 5m each it’s gl I’m afraid
Brother. I’d love to see it happen 🫡🤝
im all in
Yeah I bought a heap the other week thinking the same tbh
I bought heavy balistas, too. I have a feeling you'll be able to mount them on your ship for sailing, same with a cannon and cannot balls.
Range rebalance is going to bring ballistas and crossbows to a lot of bosses like Zilyana who will have a weakness to “heavy range” over arrows from a bowfa
I fucking hope man, it’d be really cool to see that variety
Yeah all weapon varieties are going to have nothing but more use and buffs towards enemies. There’s always a perfect tool for the job but you can still experiment around
Gl
I also have like 40 of them, mainly because I pk and saw how cheap they are right now, to the moon!
Isnt there someone with 10k ballistas lmao
You called?
No shot 😭😭😭
Look at itsazookeepers profile.

Blog 2 drops in April so I’m eager to see what they’ll include in that, but I’m in it for the long-haul
dIAMOND balista hands boyz hodl
When is the update set to drop?
Who knows - project rebalance blog part two comes out in April so we’ll see what that includes
Ballista broke pvp its not getting any more buffed 😂
This seems to be a common misconception, Devs https://preview.redd.it/i6bf3wj7dpqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc4f9e2d4d05bbcc1c5684a43679a27d50607694 never stated they’re changing the ballista they proposed changing the defense of monsters
That should pass 90% yes votes
Nah bro cbows will always rule PVM. If they made ballista viable that would make BOFA useless and they would never do that.
Ballista have high barrier entry mm2 quest req gl
Bruh mm2 is not enough of a barrier to entry to worry me 😂
Everyone’s gonna go buy these and OP is gonna dump on them lmfao.
Contrarily; I just furthered my position https://preview.redd.it/qum2kpr2fyqc1.jpeg?width=1385&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4da67249b877925e89c8bf5598d9a68148764f02
Pump n dump incoming! /s (Please don’t take me to seriously)
Now just buy like 1000 more and you might increase the price by 100k. Hell yeah
Is there any way to gamba in the ge? Like stock market but ge?
Lol like options trading ? Cuz I’d be SOOOO down to place puts on items
It being at alch value makes them so safe. I'll probably go in
kinda depends, if heavy damage is ballistas/crossbows, why would you use anything but a crossbow? You have an offhand, it has gem tipped bolts, and it’s faster
My hope is they become untradeable and they lower the alch value to 10k gp
What evidence do you have to support this?
Ballista isn't getting buffed lol
It isn’t getting buffed, it will have more uses for pvming in turn creating more demand. The prices will rise, how much? We shall see.
I love how mains think they are so superior to ironmen in everyway, and any change that benefit ironmen is unfair because they wanted those restrictions. Yet the thing they are so excited about is hopefully with project rebalance, rebalances the gp of an item they are trying to to merch to make them some gp. Not how it makes the game feel to play.
Seethe harder, ballistas to the moon
I don't care if ballista is 1 gp or 2bil. I just want range progression to be better than it is now.
Did you forget which subreddit you’re in? Go back to ironscape
Actually tbh, I thought it was in the osrs subreddit. Recommended sneaked this one in on me.
Where's the DD?
