Total RAW GP in-game (guess)?

2004Scape
1

I did a quick skim of the hiscores after reading an article by Duke Freedom how he calculated the total GP in the game in 2006.

With the hiscores I got a rough grab of how much XP has been gained by the top 100-500 or so players in the money-generating skills. I took this total XP to figure out how much GP would be generated.

~6b GP fletching (yew/magic bows)
~1.2b smithing (steel plates)
~ 5.1b crafting (dragonhides)
~ 1b thieving (knights)

~3b alchables from drops?

~16.3B GP

Smithing might be a little iffy because of runite. There might be a few billion more because of that.

Thoughts on how to get a more accurate estimate. Anyone else have an estimate they’ve stored away they’d like to share?

Interesting for sure.

The smithing is off the most, because of the Rune Sword creators.
Seems the difficult one to calculate.

I personally have 40 thousand coins on the account so deff add that in the post.

Very interesting! Have you tried to factor in gp out of the game also? I think the only real gp sink right now is shops. Big ones would be runes, arrows, arrowheads, feathers, rune armor, dragon items, battlestaves.

Also every hard clue is maybe close to 100k in alchs (?), so if there’s been 10k hard clues done that’s 1b right there, meaning if the 2.5k active players each have done at least 4 (which doesn’t seem outlandish to me)

I have done at least 200 hard’s, met some random guy who had 300+

Edit:
easiest way would be count robins, pazaz mentioned ~120 robins or so
robin is 1:400
400x120 = 48k hards

but I think alch value of a hard clue is closer to 70k, however

So another 2.5-3b in clue alchables.

A lot of my friends think its about 25% of the total rare value. Total speculation of course, but fun.

160 Santas x 60m = 9.6b
150 Mask x 62m = 9.2b
150 Phats x (200m average?) = 30b
150 Edibles x 20m = 3b

Thats about 50b total value.

My guess is maybe 10-15b GP.

I will guess at least 25b of raw gp has been generated since the f2p release

Pazaz should let us all guess a random gp in game value and reward the winner with a party hat set :wink:

Pazaz told us how many robins and rangers there were in the game recently. I’m on my phone at work but it was around 120 robins 110 rangers iirc. From that we could estimate pretty accurately how much gp worth of alchables have been brought into the game by clues.

Probably at least 27 gp right?

@Pazaz can we get top 3 cashstacks in-game? :smiley:

13

Think he said 3 people with more than 214m GP cash stack (this was 1-2 weeks ago).

14

he said 200m not 214m btw.

15

Current top five ranges from around 300M to about 150M.
Most of those have one or more discontinued items too! :sweat_smile: Got a few high rollers out there, but it pales in comparison to the billions of gp spread out among all the rest of the players.

Remember these cash stacks can sometimes change hands in seconds and there’s typically more coming in than going out at any given time!

I know. I was just having a little fun trying to figure out “hey at 70 fletching onward all that XP for every player was likely yews/magics. those go for this amount when alch’d”. And doing that for every other skill/xp I could think of.

There’s no way to get even close. But you can get minimums out of the way :slight_smile:

ok guys lets get to the bottom of this

just post ur cash stack and i’ll add it all up and solve this mystery. I own a calculator so I can do the math

I’ll go first
