Maybe scythe will fall some too. It's great to have a useful weapon like this added to the game. I'll buy one just to try out, but maybe scythe is just better for most things.

This was my thought, since you can get nox comps from cheaper nox weps, then scythe wouldn't really have a reason to stay the price it is now. Atleast with lance, aftershock is needed.

I think a price rise is inevitable tbh, but price of scythes will crash since the spear is basically a scythe with poison. I can't imagine lance will drop either.
Doubt it has much effect. Spear is definitely good alternative for tasks like abyssal demons but you kill them extremely fast anyway for poison effect doing much difference. On Airuts, Edimmus and such you'd still want to use scythe for accuracy over spears poison effect.

Cant think of task right now that would have low def high hp mobs that the spear would shine at but i bet tasks like that does exist.

Well, at least dragon rider lance will lower in price so aftershock will be more cheaper
The main reason Lances price is where its at is Aftershock so i donno why its price would be affected. Its like expecting Armadyl items to crash in price if they released another better t70 ranged power armor. Lance could fall a little, if only used for components. It's not quite the cheapest way, as you know.
Not the cheapest but by far the fastest which is the major factor for its price vs other options.

Tbh waiting to meme the next maikeru video that says it's best in slot for solak like he did with those useless crossbows a while back

Have you seen his video in which he says greg his drops give aftershock components? xD trusting certain pc lists or prices of items or websites that dont belong to jagex will get you into trouble notice: external websites and trades are your responsibility, dont get fooled!.

That guy just sells everyone noob on rs a dream, it's actually kinda sad. Was it the wyvern xbow he dumped on uninformed low level players for like 150m? He basically told them they can sold with a t85

I think the main point is that those mobs don't require 400m (scythe) to do, you can do them at the same efficiency as a scythe but for, now a quarter of the price.

@ 50m it was a straight up Bargain for what you got in comparison to scythe. @100m It's still worth 'Downgrading' to from a scythe tbh. I don't really see how you lose out when all you do is save about 200-300m for essentially the same item.

Bossing wise i don't think scythe really shines anywhere since everyone just dual wields, and even then i would use drygoes as apposed to scythe if you were stuck at t90s, with spear as a cleave/quake. There's no where you can really hard camp scythe to get value out of it.

So in the pvm aspect, I don't think affects the price too much. It's more so Quality of life aspect as it's basically the same item with a buff on passive at the cost of Accuracy. for 3x less price.

Prices might be a lil off*

For this reason, price and utility may not always correlate.

People can still buy out supply, just cause it doesn't happens for weapons qs much doesn't mean it doesn't for other items.

And tbh idk how this is relevamt to that example cause firstly we're at a point where a single person can influence supply. So if anything it's worse now.

Utility has a lot of influence in this era regardless. Look at the prices of ecb, t92s, and even offhands and compare their prices over the last 3 years and tell me utility hasn't cause over a double in price change
