pvp worlds/bh worlds it was fun rolling the dice for a random chance at good loot average loot was around 500k-1m back when I never had to sink any of my gp into divine charges or vis wax so the gp added up till I got a couple lowers and I'm talking about pvp kills not dice games

I slayed from pretty much nothing to i think 950m to buy my 1st purp only to have it robbed a few weeks later by a mate "well i thought he was a mate" and after the initial shock i just became more determined to get it back, and that is what i did.

Much love

Sold a DH gr8 axe when barrows first came out and bought a santa. I had a choice between a santa and a whip.

Later on I bought oak logs in w1 and sold them to p2p guys training construction. It was right when construction came out and there was a race for the top spot. Made a killing, but it was short lived. My friend and I sold everything and bought a purple 72m. We were just barely there, he had a fury a friend gave him and almost had to add it to the deal to get the purple.

I was standing at the Varrok bank during busy hours and picking the partyhats that other players were dropping. Partyhats were useless and bank space was precious. I had to make few accounts to hold all the partyhats. And then I spent some time trying to even colors. I sold many over years I was active, never was short on gp since. I still have 10+ sets collecting dust in my bank. Golden partyhat is easy to get these days. In 20 years it would be in billions. Get as many as you can.
