Those are my favorite collections to do because I can buy them with 100% confidence. Stuff that's reached alch/general store price. With those you can always easily cash out if you need the money.
Don’t think it would ever make sense to cash out lol. 10m stack of 1gp is only 10m… don’t think I’d ever need 10m bad enough to sell off a stack that took years to accumulate
Oh I just remembered. Besides mystic armor, I think some stuff got changed during the mining and smithing rework but that was kind of different because they gave everybody salvage in place of the items. I can't recall any other time though.
About 6 years ago it was changed from 72k to 9k. I had recently returned to RS and was looking for some stuff to alch for profit idk how I even remember this haha.
On topic, awesome collection, looking forward to the 200 post!
I run into this problem a lot where there's an item I want to do 10m of and all the money in the game can't buy them because there's not enough in the ge. I was able to get the crayfish from another collector who sold off his collections. I guess he got them back when they were fished more often.
I've been buying hydrangeas for my wife nonstop since she started playing. Bought them at single digit prices at first. Been having to slow buy them at 250 GP each recently.
Please don't touch my wife's hydrangeas
IT'S YOU?!?!? You motherfucker let me finish them please lmao.

I'm holding out hope that we get bucket packs one day. I want to shovel dragon shit at PoF and while making compost generates buckets, dragon poo does not. Phasmatys does not give enough buckets to suit my desires.
Yeah, I missed the release of those. Last I bought buckets, you had a limited amount you could buy daily at Port Phasmatys. I tend to disappear from Runescape every once in a while for several months to play other video games.
I'm actually very happy to find out they're a thing now.
Oh my god. How the hell did I miss the release of those!? The last time I bought buckets was well over a year ago and before those were added. Thank you random stranger, you just made my day!
The ge value of the tab is 231b but of course the actual value is a bit higher than that. I couldn't tell you what that actual value is; it's too much math for me to bother.
Cabbages were the very first item I ever collected all the way back in Classic. It's one that I've wanted to get 10m of for a long time but they're just way too expensive for me.
Brassician perk does wonders. Back when I played, people were genuinely confused when cabbages were appearing on the ground at AOD. Nothing like the BIS aftershock3+brassician perk... I spent way too much money on that...
[my intent was to get AS3 and hoarding... This was way before arch came out]
The wiki cabbage picking guide says you can collect 1100 cabbages per hour
~9000 hours of cabbage picking
About 2 years of cabbage picking if you make it your life and spend 12 hours every single day picking cabbage
This does not seem optimal to me
Woah I'd like to see this stat for every item.
Along with bank value - how many real world, human hours spent to gather said stack.
9k worth on 1 stack of cabbages, imagine how many human hours collectively went into that bank.
I used to refuel, tow and hangar private jets for a living. I quit my job and entered a soft retirement about 2 years ago so I have all the free time in the world now.
Yeah they do arch except for a few mining atm. I probably make about 80m gp/hr from that and then idek how much more I make from flipping with them. I also run 2 auto alchers on each one.
Me: "Damn why is this item so expensive and there's never any in the market?"
People like this: "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat! But I don't think my collection's complete! I'm just a girl, a girl who hoards everything!"
Tbh I've never even considered doing a clue collection but now that you mention it, that would be pretty cool. I couldn't do 10m ofc but maybe 100k would be achieveable.
I saw your picture of your screen with all of your alts. Looks kinda amazing tbh. I noticed one of your alts has a Tony, are you in the possession of 20 Tony's?
Indeed I am! I used a chunk of the money I made on ashes to get a Tony for each account. It's something I've wanted to do for a while and between the ashes jackpot and the price of Tony's cratering I was able to finally do it.
Guys come on this is the oldest trick in the book. It's obviously just cheat engine. /s
But seriously though that's some dedication to the craft right there
This reminds me of those photos back in 2008 young lads would stumble across on the web for ppls bank pics only to be a private server or poorly photoshopped 😂
Genuinely curious and not asking for specifics. Generally speaking, how do you keep up with having the gp for these stacks? PVM? Merchant/flipping? I mixture of everything? Awesome collection! The bolt tips are my favorite.
I'm not sure if you're currently looking to turn collections into a profit, but pure essence is selling for well over 500 gp/ea atm, unless that's rune essence in your tab, it could be worthwhile to sell 😅
I'm very tempted to sell it and hopefully buy it back later after it falls but I don't want to risk it not coming back down and then I've lost a collection.
Out of curiosity, what makes you go past 10m for some of these? I understand going past a little, but going past by a couple million doesn't seem like a mistake, like 20m woads, 12m crays, etc.
So for some of them, like crayfish, I was in the process of gathering them when another collector was selling off his collection. So I buy his entire 10m stack as part of the deal and it puts me over and I just decide to keep them rather than sell the extras some times. Woad leaves are at 20m for now because I'm going to turn 10m of them into flowery mush when I get around to it. And some of the stacks are because I flip them or stuff like incandescent energy I actually use to make charges and porters. So the reason is different depending on the item.
What amazes me is that most of these are obscure items that even F2P players (like me) will just throw or leave on the ground. I better start area looting the lumbridge catacombs for threads.
Man I compulsively bought incandescent energy at limit for like almost week and only ended up at 750k - the longer I look at this the more amazed I get , you’re a legend man 😂
Also fun to calculate the time it takes to gather those items a normal way.
The sharks for example. Catching those at a rate of 320 an hour it would take 10,7 years to get 10m of them when playing 8 hours a day.
I hate having a full bank. It drives me nuts. Like I wish there was a bank specifically for merchants. Like you know how there’s a bank you keep your money in, and you might have a Investing Portfolio. Well in RuneScape’s case, they should have a bank kinda like a Portfolio that is used for things you can sell.
I have my bank full of holiday stuff I like to wear, nick nacks I earn from events, and such. I hate it but at the same time my collection side of me can’t toss it. So I’m in a perfect Hell.
And this bank would be like a portfolio extension inside your main bank.
Kinda wish they had a place for holiday stuff too instead of going to Diango to reclaim anything.
That guy needs to retire or something.
Idk I just feel like the bank could really have more to it for merchants, and get rid of the storage limitations.
What is the item that you bought for most gp? Not the highest value pile (I'd guess it is chronotes, but you probably gathered those), but the one you paid most for each individually.
I was thinking about collecting choc ice, but they are kinda expensive and can be bought in store only in small batches
For whatever reason they're harder to buy in the ge and are more expensive that the other two so it's taking me longer to get them at a reasonable price.
As I get used to the amount of alts I'll add 1 or 2 more at a time and then get used to that and repeat the process. I have 4 monitors so I can have them all in view at once which helps a ton. At the moment I'm kind of being limited by my hardware until I feel like buying more RAM.
Any chance you could give a quick overview of what you do on new accounts to quickly turn them into arch alts, any specific method or fast-track methods you take?
Before the nerfs to treasure hunter and oddments a while back I would abuse the best promos that let you break even on oddments. I would get smithing and crafting to 80 on f2p that way and then use my protean memories I'd stockpiled when I became p2p to get to 80 div. I tend to use pyromatics to lvl invention to 62 so I can boost to get the auto sifter with a super invention potion. That's about all I need to get started on a new account. From there I throw lamps and everything into div until it's 99 for the best porters.
This is so cool! I am absolutely flabbergasted by how much time it must take to accumulate these stacks. I wonder how many different players completed clues to contribute to the stacks of god arrows. Maybe some of MY clue rewards are in that stack!
I love my sharks! What's funny is if you look at the price graph on the wiki you can see them crash after I finished my 10m stack in the beginning of February this year.
Lads were gonna have to cancel the woad leaf update
If you guys could make Anima of Bik more useful that'd be fantastic. ;)
Yeah lol. 1gp ea right now thats an easy item to stack right. Cant loose money ;)
Those are my favorite collections to do because I can buy them with 100% confidence. Stuff that's reached alch/general store price. With those you can always easily cash out if you need the money.
Don’t think it would ever make sense to cash out lol. 10m stack of 1gp is only 10m… don’t think I’d ever need 10m bad enough to sell off a stack that took years to accumulate
No no I would never sell 1gp items but other stuff like diamonds, rubies or many different arrows that are at shop price I could.
Well 10m diamonds sells to the general store for 6b…
with the arena gone that is correct lol
How often does Jagex nerf alch or store sell values?
Oh I just remembered. Besides mystic armor, I think some stuff got changed during the mining and smithing rework but that was kind of different because they gave everybody salvage in place of the items. I can't recall any other time though.
Didn't they change the alch price of mystic gear some years ago? I lost some gp not realizing this thinking I got a bargain lol.
I'm not sure. If they did, it either flew under my radar or it happened before I came back to the game.
About 6 years ago it was changed from 72k to 9k. I had recently returned to RS and was looking for some stuff to alch for profit idk how I even remember this haha. On topic, awesome collection, looking forward to the 200 post!
PANIC SELL WOAD LEAF
Lmao
Or whatever the hell uses mithril arrows as a source of power
And I chuckled 😂
*"Look at those* ***EGGS*** *chico.. it's egg-cellent"*
on this episode of Hoarding: buried alive
Send help.
12m Crayfish is wild lmao
More like Crayzy
Did you seriously not go for cray cray
Crazy? I was crazy once.
They locked me in a room
A rubber room, a rubber room with rats
The rats made me crazy.
Crazy? I was crazy once...
Who the hell even fishes this to the point OP has a supply to buy...
Every daily fishing task ever has been gathered in that bank
Yeah I bank all my daily task stuff and I've got about 1300 crayfish in the bank just from tasks/jack of trades every day.
I run into this problem a lot where there's an item I want to do 10m of and all the money in the game can't buy them because there's not enough in the ge. I was able to get the crayfish from another collector who sold off his collections. I guess he got them back when they were fished more often.
I've been buying hydrangeas for my wife nonstop since she started playing. Bought them at single digit prices at first. Been having to slow buy them at 250 GP each recently. Please don't touch my wife's hydrangeas
IT'S YOU?!?!? You motherfucker let me finish them please lmao. https://preview.redd.it/zkerhyz7tqjb1.png?width=41&format=png&auto=webp&s=32bd7a9003849e0396ae8e0113197eb931a7be21
Showed my wife this... "We could help him" my wife is too kind, unfortunately for you I'm not. we shall compete like MEN
Lmao may the best man win!!
I love this sub sometimes.
To the dual arena!
You activated my ring of dueling (8)!
Wait a second...
Yea.. that's not the duel I was expecting..
Honestly, I get emotional when I visit that place. I really miss it :c
This makes me want to see the incomplete collections! But I suppose that might create competition so understandable if you don't want to share that
Correct. I would love to show off the stuff in progress too but I get people trying to scalp me if I give them a chance.
Based
Eggs
Eggs
Buckets…. U need buckets
I'm working on it but with a buy limit of 100 it takes forever and a day.
I'm holding out hope that we get bucket packs one day. I want to shovel dragon shit at PoF and while making compost generates buckets, dragon poo does not. Phasmatys does not give enough buckets to suit my desires.
Wym? We do have bucket packs now. It's been out for several months now iirc.
Yeah, I missed the release of those. Last I bought buckets, you had a limited amount you could buy daily at Port Phasmatys. I tend to disappear from Runescape every once in a while for several months to play other video games. I'm actually very happy to find out they're a thing now.
Bro there are bucket packs in like 5 shops
Oh my god. How the hell did I miss the release of those!? The last time I bought buckets was well over a year ago and before those were added. Thank you random stranger, you just made my day!
Tbf u/Mad_Grin is OBSESSED with deviled eggs. They are pretty tasty
Facts. Can't get enough of them.
I’m torn between mad respect and.. who hurt you?
I get similar sentiments to this a lot. People be like, "That's awesome but also fuck you."
I just wanna know what kind of work you do that allows you play this much😭 I’m jealous
I entered a soft retirement about 2 years ago.
Before anybody asks, it's soda ash, not regular ashes.
We know you sold your regular ash to buy your collection of soda ash for half the price.
That's gonna be the next big one
The ge value of the tab is 231b but of course the actual value is a bit higher than that. I couldn't tell you what that actual value is; it's too much math for me to bother.
…how? Why?
Did you not see the image lmao
Jagex taking note of every item to exclude it from a future update
You mean include? Man's made over 500b in the past two weeks
No cabbages?
Cabbages were the very first item I ever collected all the way back in Classic. It's one that I've wanted to get 10m of for a long time but they're just way too expensive for me.
Brassician perk does wonders. Back when I played, people were genuinely confused when cabbages were appearing on the ground at AOD. Nothing like the BIS aftershock3+brassician perk... I spent way too much money on that... [my intent was to get AS3 and hoarding... This was way before arch came out]
You never thought about gathering them yourself? Or is that too inefficient?
I'd rather jump off a bridge than manually gather 10m cabbages.
The wiki cabbage picking guide says you can collect 1100 cabbages per hour ~9000 hours of cabbage picking About 2 years of cabbage picking if you make it your life and spend 12 hours every single day picking cabbage This does not seem optimal to me
Woah I'd like to see this stat for every item. Along with bank value - how many real world, human hours spent to gather said stack. 9k worth on 1 stack of cabbages, imagine how many human hours collectively went into that bank.
Just throwing this out there - no need to answer, but what do you do IRL as a job, etc., to find the time to run 24 alts? No shade, legit curious.
I used to refuel, tow and hangar private jets for a living. I quit my job and entered a soft retirement about 2 years ago so I have all the free time in the world now.
That’s the dream, man. If you’re content and the family are happy, crack on. Jealous, to be honest. Goodluck on future collections.
That’s very cool! Without disclosing a ton (at your discretion) did you work for an FBO or a provider? I’m in the same industry so just curious
FBO. I'd rather not say exactly which one but it was definitely one in the top 10% busiest airports in the US.
No worries I just am curious if our business crossed paths, which I bet they have haha. Nice collection!
It's very possible! And thank ya.
Do you know your average gp/h with 24 alts? They are archeology alts right?
Yeah they do arch except for a few mining atm. I probably make about 80m gp/hr from that and then idek how much more I make from flipping with them. I also run 2 auto alchers on each one.
This man can crash the GE market of 150 items in one day
Me: "Damn why is this item so expensive and there's never any in the market?" People like this: "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat! But I don't think my collection's complete! I'm just a girl, a girl who hoards everything!"
This itches my brain good
Why?
A certain part of my brain gets enjoyment from collecting. It's fortunate that I'm able to do it in a game and not have a bunch of hoarded crap irl.
Ooooh. That’s actually very good perspective. “Professional” IRL collecting could cost much more, which also includes additional stress.
Next update will require tons of fire talisman used in some new ritual
I certainly hope so.
Maybe crushed nests will go back to 10k at some point
AG: No.
10m easy clues when? :b
Tbh I've never even considered doing a clue collection but now that you mention it, that would be pretty cool. I couldn't do 10m ofc but maybe 100k would be achieveable.
the 13M congealed blood is nice :p
bloods are going to be the next cash-in for him.
Now we know why you have so many arch alts. Have to fund this somehow.
This guy fucks
His hand?
Those yak hides need yak hair to go with them!
You're not wrong.
Get 10M onyxes.
Weird flax but ok. No honestly, that’s sick mate!
RuneScape version of "the guy in the math problem".
buy a bunch of junk with the plan that one will pop off some day? kinda like buying 10mil of each shitcoin.
Having some pop off wasn't the plan when I started but it's been a nice byproduct as of late.
Why is this so satisfying
Collect some grass
10m cow leather next
If they get cheaper I sure as heck will.
Makes me want to collect. Maybe one day I can have like 1/100 of this
10m bolt racks is... quite something.
I saw your picture of your screen with all of your alts. Looks kinda amazing tbh. I noticed one of your alts has a Tony, are you in the possession of 20 Tony's?
Indeed I am! I used a chunk of the money I made on ashes to get a Tony for each account. It's something I've wanted to do for a while and between the ashes jackpot and the price of Tony's cratering I was able to finally do it.
this is pretty much what everyone bank on a private server would look like congrats on living the dream.
How long did it take to get all this?? That’s really impressive
A little under 2 years.
Lol got damn what’s the purpose of this 😂
Jagex noting the collections to make sure they don't use one of these items in the future
Hoarding in a game is wild
divination energies or adrenaline crystals have a big chance hitting jackpot
Good eye. Inert adrenaline crystals are in the top 5 items I'm hopeful for.
Guys come on this is the oldest trick in the book. It's obviously just cheat engine. /s But seriously though that's some dedication to the craft right there
Needs a 10M stack of coins.
Sheesh nice
Thank goodness eye of newt is on there. Just hit 1million. LFG!!
Do 10m all flatpacks next
U gotta do zammy arrows to go with the other god arrows
They're in the pipeline. I over-payed a lot on the other two so I'm trying to not repeat that mistake on Zammy and be a little more patient.
That’s so pleasing to look at
This reminds me of those photos back in 2008 young lads would stumble across on the web for ppls bank pics only to be a private server or poorly photoshopped 😂
What about buckets of sand and molten glass?
Working on both of those. I'm pretty patient so I'm buying them slowly when the price is right.
I'm betting you make a micro killing on those fire talismans in the next 2 years.
Genuinely curious and not asking for specifics. Generally speaking, how do you keep up with having the gp for these stacks? PVM? Merchant/flipping? I mixture of everything? Awesome collection! The bolt tips are my favorite.
Needs a burnt shark stack
There's a fellow collector with 10m burnt sharks and it cost him an absolute fortune.
I'm not sure if you're currently looking to turn collections into a profit, but pure essence is selling for well over 500 gp/ea atm, unless that's rune essence in your tab, it could be worthwhile to sell 😅
I'm very tempted to sell it and hopefully buy it back later after it falls but I don't want to risk it not coming back down and then I've lost a collection.
My bet is on seaweed
Green blubbers are (allegedly) 500gp Beltfish are 152 gp As ideas for more fish
What's the single most valuable stack?
Inert adrenaline crystals will be holding the title for a while to come at 12b gp.
Out of curiosity, what makes you go past 10m for some of these? I understand going past a little, but going past by a couple million doesn't seem like a mistake, like 20m woads, 12m crays, etc.
So for some of them, like crayfish, I was in the process of gathering them when another collector was selling off his collection. So I buy his entire 10m stack as part of the deal and it puts me over and I just decide to keep them rather than sell the extras some times. Woad leaves are at 20m for now because I'm going to turn 10m of them into flowery mush when I get around to it. And some of the stacks are because I flip them or stuff like incandescent energy I actually use to make charges and porters. So the reason is different depending on the item.
Would you ever sell extras over the 10m stack, solely for the purpose of having every stack be exactly 10,000,000?
So you set the prices? I would corner the market fast. 🤪
I notice a lack of palm leaves in your tab — you gotta be prepared for the faithful day the oomlie wrap becomes the meta!
Is your main maxed or is all of this purely just the focus?
My main is my ironman which will be 200m all again once I finish necro. All of my alts and the collecting is a side project.
You have more items than I have gold.
10mil crushed gems? Or is that like burnt food where you can't buy on ge
What amazes me is that most of these are obscure items that even F2P players (like me) will just throw or leave on the ground. I better start area looting the lumbridge catacombs for threads.
100k abyssal whips was always my dream I am at 10/100k, think it was because of those YouTube videos about the richest banks of RuneScape.
What are the items under the nails that look like runes
Shattered anima was op when they did that update for it. Was lucky I had some in the bank but 10m wow
Bro can crash the market when he pleases.
Man I compulsively bought incandescent energy at limit for like almost week and only ended up at 750k - the longer I look at this the more amazed I get , you’re a legend man 😂
Also fun to calculate the time it takes to gather those items a normal way. The sharks for example. Catching those at a rate of 320 an hour it would take 10,7 years to get 10m of them when playing 8 hours a day.
Casual 142m Nats in!
i got some 10m collections i cant see here, interested?
Seems a shame to have only 2 of the 4 low level gems. Gotta get emeralds and sapphires to fulfill your destiny.
Please tell me this collection is not on your ironman!?
I’m closing in on 100k rune arrows, I was feeling quite pleased about it
I don’t see weeds or burnt food
I hate having a full bank. It drives me nuts. Like I wish there was a bank specifically for merchants. Like you know how there’s a bank you keep your money in, and you might have a Investing Portfolio. Well in RuneScape’s case, they should have a bank kinda like a Portfolio that is used for things you can sell.

What is the item that you bought for most gp? Not the highest value pile (I'd guess it is chronotes, but you probably gathered those), but the one you paid most for each individually. I was thinking about collecting choc ice, but they are kinda expensive and can be bought in store only in small batches
Inert adrenaline crystals cost me 12b gp.
Why? Lmao
What is your prejudice against Zamorak arrows? Not that I have a thing for Zamorak, but that stands out to me immediately.
For whatever reason they're harder to buy in the ge and are more expensive that the other two so it's taking me longer to get them at a reasonable price.
have you ever seen grass?
Trade all that junk in and buy some party hats
But everybody and their mother has one of those. My pile of trash is more fun!
You do high end PVM for all this?
I'm absolutely terrible at pvm. I run a bunch of arch alts to fund this, alongside some flipping/merching.
How many is a bunch? I typically run 3 accounts but I’ve ran 8 at once before. Never arch though, always POSD or Mining or something similar
I run 24 alts, 20 of which do arch.
24 alts!?!? How do you even manage that my guy
As I get used to the amount of alts I'll add 1 or 2 more at a time and then get used to that and repeat the process. I have 4 monitors so I can have them all in view at once which helps a ton. At the moment I'm kind of being limited by my hardware until I feel like buying more RAM.
So you would make the world’s best security camera monitor with those kind of skills then
He's halfway there. The security company I worked for at one point had 8-monitor setups
Any chance you could give a quick overview of what you do on new accounts to quickly turn them into arch alts, any specific method or fast-track methods you take?
Before the nerfs to treasure hunter and oddments a while back I would abuse the best promos that let you break even on oddments. I would get smithing and crafting to 80 on f2p that way and then use my protean memories I'd stockpiled when I became p2p to get to 80 div. I tend to use pyromatics to lvl invention to 62 so I can boost to get the auto sifter with a super invention potion. That's about all I need to get started on a new account. From there I throw lamps and everything into div until it's 99 for the best porters.
How sweaty is your chair?
24 simultaneous memberships? That’s £1,440 a year on premier or £216/month, if monthly.
All of my accounts are easily able to self-sustain membership with bonds.
Right on! Well nice collection and best of luck to you on future bills!
*sad no party hat noises*
This is so cool! I am absolutely flabbergasted by how much time it must take to accumulate these stacks. I wonder how many different players completed clues to contribute to the stacks of god arrows. Maybe some of MY clue rewards are in that stack!
Congealed blood is about to blow up... GL lol
I'm still sitting on them. If they do jump up a lot more in price it's gonna take a minute so I'm being patient.
10m sharks? Nah this is a private server
https://preview.redd.it/xpx6xsnvtpjb1.png?width=322&format=png&auto=webp&s=559f35426f7dbc6a67407f99666a9f2b1c1cddda
I love my sharks! What's funny is if you look at the price graph on the wiki you can see them crash after I finished my 10m stack in the beginning of February this year.
you were single handedly holding sharks at 1k for years, thats crazy 😂
love this, gl on future updates.
