Personally, I'm not opposed.

The main issue is the sheer number of items in game that would require such an update.


If there is a need for a quick and easy fix, why not do away with it entirely?

Take the machines and the spells right out of the game. Would anyone rage & quit over that? If so, why?


.....hmmm.. I know! alch values gone nothing left to hold items at near alch value = mass crash of many items. Hello 100k onyx's, i'd like to buy 200 before they revert this. :P

All joking aside i don't need anymore onyx's, some rushed players sold me over 150 onyx's for 750k, why you might ask? only uncut onyx has the 1m+ alch value. :P

Also without alching the demand for even skilling items will crash leading to higher costs for said skills to be leveled. <--try to keep that secret jagex might go "OMG so great, we can sell more bonds now!" <--but counter productive....given the issue.

"Hey mario i'll trade you 18million green d hide bodies for that item, this new currency is great" "No bro...Green is crashing, only accept red/black d hides" ;)

^invention might fix that but idk...i still stand 70%+ of item waste is expelled by alching.

Items shouldn't be worth more to alch than they are to disassemble for invention. That's a balancing issue that needs to be fixed. Item values also shouldn't be higher pre processing than post processing if used in an artisanal skill. Starting with salvage, they could work on a more standardized formula for calculating the base in-game assigned value of items to keep them sensibly scaled to eachother and to their tiers/sources.

For example, bronze seems to start off at 20 gp, both as salvage and as a bar. Lower value items could potentially get buffed the same way higher ones would get nerfed depending on what they settle on for the new item value formula.
