Its tempting to max it,even though it would be like halve my cash.
And since i wont get the biggest richie anyway its probably not worth it.
You could sell your hats off course but i quiet like my hats. If i had lots spare then i would do it though.

I will probably still max it and show it of in w2 in the hope it will entice others to follow suit.
When i was in w2 earlier i didnt see a single richie pet btw,maybe merchants collectively decided to ignore its existance and not bother with it because it could be seen as a thread.

Hats seem to be ok still,people did offer me 29 for purple and 36 for red. It was kinda tempting but meh.

I think this pet is the ultimate flex,even more so because the money is gone forever. Showing that you are rich enough to truly not care about it. And it can go way higher then a cracker troll.
Most cracker and phat trolls have been fed years ago when hats where cheaper. Not only in absolute terms but also in relative terms.

Cracker trolls, half wine trolls, and phat trolls will rise faster than any gp dumped into Richie.

It's not the ultimate flex. However, the final version looks good and is well-thought-out. It's a good pet.


yea but richie has more of a how much gp value you actually are worth, where as trolls dont have an actual gp value to them.

i don't even see trolls as a flex anymore now with richie being in game.

someone could have bought a blue for 10b and put it in a troll and that troll really is only "10b gp value'd" no matter how much blues "are".

so Richie actually is more value'd worth for the people who want to show off

plus in terms of selling wise it'll get to the point to where you cant even sell phats because there wont be buyers so phats will be at that invisible value and you can't sell it so it's not even worth that value. that's why phats and other wearables rares have a cap of how much they're really "valued" for showing off.


so imo i can definitely see people getting richies to 50b+ for those people who actually want to show off and have bragging right they're the richest in game.

You guys think Jagex could implement like "mini" hiscores for people who gave the most money to Richie? They had hiscores at the time when people donated to Well of goodwill.



if that was possible and was created, that would definitely push people even further to because it would be right there on the highscore page available to everyone to see and not have to actually be near the person to examine their richie.

but i dont even see the well of goodwill highscore anywhere anymore? so it looks like they didnt even keep it? unless im missing it somewhere

Marclard,

Unless we see deflation, a cracker troll will rise with time. And a phat will similarly rise.

Max shards was once a lot of gp. The easiest way to achieve max shards is to have previously obtained rares.

Could anyone even imagine max shards in 2010? Imagine obtaining 10 phat sets in 2003, pretty easy. Imagine selling just 1 phat today. It's a lot of gp. We can say prices should be this or that, but when you sell, you have a giant stack of shards. They're quite real.

And while rares might not rise at all this year, they do rise with time. Whether prices seem correct or not, when you sell, those shard boxes stack and can be sold.

Each year, a person will be able to add more and more to a Richie pet. Holding rares reaps a better return, at least to-date.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

Yeah, they removed it. That is why i've said ''had''. Would be nice addition as some people would compete for it, 100%.

Thats the difference trip,feeding richie is not about making a return.
Hats are better for making a return,but only if they go up.
What if hats slow drop for 1-2 years,it would not be the first time.
Deflation would in that scenario even increase the "value" of a big richie pet that has been fed now since it will become more difficult in the future to fed it the same amount.
Though in all fairness significant deflation is not realistic i think and if there is a lot of inflation in the future you would be better of feeding richie at a later point and hold items instead.
A lot of inflation at this point i dont expect either anymore though,richie has the potentential to be quiet a money sink.

Imagine feeding richie max cash back in 2005,the equivalent of 10 blue partyhats. Now you could get there with less then a santa.
But thats not really the point anyway,you want to feed the pet now so you can show it off right now. And if you are a good merchant you will be able to keep feeding it along the way.

"Cracker trolls" have 0 gp value, they just have a invisible value of what a they're currently "priced at"

Phats will only rise is they're actually being bought and sold, if the market comes to a stalemate where sales come to a standstill prices won't keep magically rising for no reason.

holding rares has "a better return" only once you sell and if you can sell them. plus im not even talking about reaping returns here.


The point the past few posts are on being able to show off your actual gp value, with the main thing being having a richie that says you donated 3 trillion gp is more of a show off/bragging right because that 3 trillion gp donated will always be 3 trillion gp it can't rise or decrease - rather then then having partyhats that have no real value untill you sell them and can easily fall in price in the future.

yea they'd probably easily pull 500+ people taking part if it was permanent. google searching well of goodwill highscores you can get back to the temp highscores for 30 Oct 2013 - 30 Nov 2013. 388 people donated atleast 100m gp.

Marclard,

a cracker troll might have zero gp value to you, but it does have a cost.

Gp spent on a Richie pet are dead. The cost of the cracker troll, or of the phat worn, will likely continue to rise over the next 5 years - unless there is a dupe or a rerelease.



you're not seeing the point so this is done.

There's no current reason to expect a dupe or a rerelease.

In years gone by someone overcompensating would try and show off that they spent 20b on their pixel bird for fashionscape. I only seen one tryhard post a Richie on Reddit. Most people matured.


Proud of everyone who doesn't give a crap.

I just disapprove, bc they're not trying-hard enough :p

Actually, I like the 10b pet though. I just figure the cost will be worth less by next year, and the year after, etc.
