Just going off the fact that my gear tab is over 10b and I'm still missing nightmare staves/inq mace/tonalztics and probably a few other niche items. When I said max gear, I meant true max gear so that you have bis for every single situation. Feel free to add up every item if you want though, I don't care enough to prove you wrong lol.
Here's my 10b (green stack of plats) gear tab that's still missing big ticket items like nightmare orbs/inq mace/tonalztics/other niche items.

I used to be a degenerate and chuck green stacks of plat tokens in the sand casino… the gambler in me misses it so much. The scaper in me is so thankful it’s gone. Unlocked the game for me again!
What do you mean without getting scammed? How is this different from a normal trade? Sorry. I am new to OSRS. Very different from ye olden days when I did play.
Which is the same answer, but the problem is people sometimes don't do the math right and get confused as to how many decimal points to move which gets them a real bad deal.
I.e. a 12b txn would be 12m plat tokens. But in the haste and excitement of selling the most expensive item in the game one might accidentally accept 120k plat tokens instead
It would show the value as being 120m, same with 1.2m plat tokens showing up as 1.2b. 12m plat tokens would show as "Lots!".
I know people have a hard time with it but the trade window already shows you the value at the top and unless you go from "Lots!" -> "Lots!" it shouldn't be hard to see.
Oh you’re not OP lol thought you were OP by the way you responded. Should have checked. Was like man what are the odds?? 1/313,000 is steep enough itself but someone you know gets the same drop in a week something is fishy lol.
I'd love to see how many 3rd age items get introduced into the game every month. I feel like i've been seeing a lot of pick posts recently. Grats man, i'm jealous ngl
I think when we had Leagues 4, there was a statistic released for 3rd age items.
In an overpowered, RNG fueled, clue casket crunching game mode; i recall there only being like 2 3rd age picks in a couple of weeks.
What about the meiner-klampstopff theory? No way there is that many third age pick axes coming into the game when you account for meiner’s theory on calculating the relativity of probability… and don’t even get me started on cruusenbergs Beinoff formula!
I mean, there are more active players now than there have been at basically any point in the past, so as long as the ratio of clue completions:players is *at least* 1:1 then of course the number will only go up. I'd also wager *more* people are getting on the clue train now, for that matter.
I was being serious. I hope you do understand there are other countries in the world and the US is one of the richest on the planet. Where I'm from 1/3 of US average income is considered good. And to some countries 1/5 of our average is considered good.
You make a new account, funnel the money to it, and speedrun 33-2277 with the most cost inefficient, high speed grinds you can. Imagine power leveling prayer with ourg bones until you can get access to superior dragon bones, stuff like that.
Assuming u have all buyable skills 99 already, owning all max gear is approx 11B. This includes nieche items like the three nightmare staffs. I myself am approaching this point and afterwards I’m going for ridiculous goals like B0aty (minus the fact he collected all 3rd age), and work on 10M runes stacks, white stacks of pots for supplies, fund nieche alt accounts etc. There are always new goals to set, and you have to because if you don’t it will indeed becoming boring
Personally, I wouldn’t sell it because it would take the fun out of gear progression and leveling certain skills.
The other option is sell and buy literally all BIS and buyables to max. There isn’t a right answer, but if I did the latter, I wouldn’t keep playing the game for long
For most people that desire would very quickly wear off. Sure I love going clogging and skilling, but if I never had any gear upgrades to look forward to and just had BIS from nearly the start of clogging, it would become quickly boring.
I guess it depends on what you like to do, but I certainly see what you’re saying!
Happened to me in Rs3 when I got a barrows armor dye from a clue early on in their release and sold it for 3bish iirc.
Obviously gold value over the two games in vastly different and this was also 10 years ago but that was still a sizable amount for the time and funded myself maxing.
At that point I just turned to achievements, 120s, pets and etc. Quit because of life and the game itself dying but it was a freeing thing to unironically say “I can now play the game!”
I've never found gear progression to be a particularly fun part of the game personally. The feeling of "oh this would be so much more fun with a megarare" kills a lot of the enjoyment I get from the game.
Bank buyable skills, buy tbow/shadow, maybe some random raid/boss items so you can do any raid or boss that you want but leave a good amount of stuff left to buy. Then the rest into bonds so the game is free for a long time, and you could even use the bonds to start an iron.
I thought about this for a while. I'd probably buy my remaining skills out with no regard for cost. Then purchase a megarare or two and some near bis gear and a bunch of consumables. Then I'd probably donate the rest to my clan for events. I'd rather earn most of my bank the hard way but no way I could pass up at least owning a tbow and/or a shadow
12b is honestly barely enough for current max gear (including niche options), then if you want gimmick stuff like 3a or 200m buyables it can go pretty damn fast.
Huge congrats man I’m happy for you! In a weird way I almost feel like this amount of gp would ruin the game for me. I’m probably alone on that one though lol
Good on ya for hiding ur username lol, anytime I see anyone get a 3A pick on here always the first thing I check 😂 scum bags will hack you in a heartbeat
I’ve got 175 elite caskets(and counting since I’m running sepulcher for 99 agility lately) and 180 hard caskets stacked up waiting for my last 2-3 master clue items before I blow a huge dopamine load on my gim.
I pray for a fraction of this luck lmao
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that these posts are fake and they're being used to manipulate the price of 3a picks.
If the OP replies in this thread that it sold for over 13b+ I will be suspicious.
Outside of my manic conspiracy, gz man!
3rd age pickaxe drop rate from mimic: 1/5,500
Rank 1 mimic: 567 kc
So there is only one player who is 10% the way towards rate
I'm sure you were just making a humorless joke but it's still a funny point that not one of these has ever been earned
you also get a chance of pickaxe from regular master caskets. iirc there's 6 rolls on average from each master casket @ roughly 1/300,000 = 1/50k rate overall per casket. correct me if im wrong but thats 1/5k for each mimic plus 1/50k for each master casket. 1 in 15 chance for a master casket to be a mimic so i figure more pickaxes have come from master caskets themselves than from a resulting mimic. rank 1 mimic also has 7,000 master caskets with a 7,000/50,000 chance of 3a pick form those so you'd have to add that to their mimic rate. (still not on rate assuming rates are accurate)
I mean I guess but you're roughly 63x more likely to get one from a mimic so it seems like a moot point. #1 master clue KC is 8k so nobody is even close in that regard either
I saw another post recently and the guy sold for 12b. Absolutely mind blowing!
Yeah that was my clanny. He got 12.2b.
How do you go about this without getting scammed
Plat tokens are 1k gp ea so you just trade for 12m plat in one trade
Damn. Imagine seeing a green stack of plat tokens. Insane
What's even more insane is that max gear costs more than a green stack of plat tokens.
Depends on how you view max gear? If you mean most expensive then yeah obviously since pick alone is worth more
Scythe, tbow,shadow,torva,masoriis about 5b in gear.
Ya, and green plat is 10b?
Every potentially useful item in the game with no cosmetics is about 11b
only half of a green stack
Max combat gear? Is it? I figured it would be like 4/5 bil tops. 3/4 for weapons and then 1/2 for the armor.
Just for reference, it costs more than 5bil just for tbow/shadow/scythe/torva.
Thanks I was too lazy to look all this up.
Yeah if we're talking about full max gear including things like elysian, nightmare staffs, zcb, heart, etc.
This is not true, I am glad to be proven wrong if you can please provide calculations
Just going off the fact that my gear tab is over 10b and I'm still missing nightmare staves/inq mace/tonalztics and probably a few other niche items. When I said max gear, I meant true max gear so that you have bis for every single situation. Feel free to add up every item if you want though, I don't care enough to prove you wrong lol.
I see, when you say bis for every single situation that makes more sense
Here's my 10b (green stack of plats) gear tab that's still missing big ticket items like nightmare orbs/inq mace/tonalztics/other niche items. https://imgur.com/IlCUKvl
No elder maul smh /s
bottom right :P it's in there and I'm so ready for the buff
I used to be a degenerate and chuck green stacks of plat tokens in the sand casino… the gambler in me misses it so much. The scaper in me is so thankful it’s gone. Unlocked the game for me again!
Glad to hear that in the past tense!
To get platinum tokens you have to talk to G E banker I think to exchange coins for tokens
it doesn't have to be at ge, just use coins on any bank to exchange them for plat tokens and vice versa
so you can turn some of those plat tokens into a max cash stack and then you just have to hold onto the rest?
Yep but you can turn the tokens into coins at any bank any time you spend some gold so
I mean, you can deposit them in the bank like any other currency.
yes, it's not a problem though
Sit in the trade confirm screen for 5 minutes checking over and over. Hell, get some buds in discord and stream it so they can check you.
First thought on seeing buds was old TF2 sharking lmao.
Omg I totally remember buds
What do you mean without getting scammed? How is this different from a normal trade? Sorry. I am new to OSRS. Very different from ye olden days when I did play.
[удалено]
Ahhhh max stack. A problem I have never even been in the realm of thinking about. Thank you.
It's a good problem to have
I didn't even know that there are items worth over the cash limit. Are there Items even more expensive than that?
You trade it for platinum tokens?
Yes
Right but even still I would be shitting myself
I’ll buy one off of you for 1b but I’ll buy it with a no scam guarantee
thats a rip off. max cash stack or nothing!
Yes that’s what he said
No he asked how to exchange it without getting scammed
Which is the same answer, but the problem is people sometimes don't do the math right and get confused as to how many decimal points to move which gets them a real bad deal. I.e. a 12b txn would be 12m plat tokens. But in the haste and excitement of selling the most expensive item in the game one might accidentally accept 120k plat tokens instead

So you’re telling me you and someone you know in your clan got the same 1/313,000 drop rate in the same week?
Nope. Never said I got one.
Oh you’re not OP lol thought you were OP by the way you responded. Should have checked. Was like man what are the odds?? 1/313,000 is steep enough itself but someone you know gets the same drop in a week something is fishy lol.
Assuming 1 bond is 11M, thats like 1.090 free bonds / 15.260 membership days.
I'd love to see how many 3rd age items get introduced into the game every month. I feel like i've been seeing a lot of pick posts recently. Grats man, i'm jealous ngl

I got a third age bow in leagues on my first casket. Feels bad mot being able to bring it back to main game
that one youtuber that got a 3rd age pick and a pet at the end of his series felt suspicious.
What happened to him he completely disappeared years ago. Jakeysaurus? Very unforgettable voice.
Became a "don't starve together" youtuber
what is that
i got 3a pick in leagues 3 from my first and only master clue lmao
yeah idk if it’s just confirmation bias but it seems like there’s way more entering the game
That is the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon (now you'll see the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon being mentioned everywhere)
I'm very familiar with baader meinhof, i just meant i've noticed an uptick in 3a picks posted on the reddit lately, but its probably just recency bias
What about the meiner-klampstopff theory? No way there is that many third age pick axes coming into the game when you account for meiner’s theory on calculating the relativity of probability… and don’t even get me started on cruusenbergs Beinoff formula!
I mean, there are more active players now than there have been at basically any point in the past, so as long as the ratio of clue completions:players is *at least* 1:1 then of course the number will only go up. I'd also wager *more* people are getting on the clue train now, for that matter.
enjoy your 12b man. gz.
are you thinking about selling or flexing with it?
Gotta flex with it for a while :)
Just don't log out with it in your hand in case you get hacked
The way to sell it is flex it at 302 GE
Man what do you even do with 12b lol, gp is never a problem anymore
[удалено]
2k is enough money for 5 hamburgers how down bad do you need to be to actually do that
That's half a years wage for some people.. you're living in a bubble.
in the US? no its not
No shit Sherlock.. damn haven't used that one in like 10 years but you truly brought it out.
Lmfao I thought you were being serious mb
I was being serious. I hope you do understand there are other countries in the world and the US is one of the richest on the planet. Where I'm from 1/3 of US average income is considered good. And to some countries 1/5 of our average is considered good.
Sure if you want to lose your account it's not a bad plan.
Even better, now you get the early game dopamine again
Not much of a loss since you can just buy a new one under $100
[удалено]
You should recheck your math on how many millions are in 12 billion.
[удалено]
You make a new account, funnel the money to it, and speedrun 33-2277 with the most cost inefficient, high speed grinds you can. Imagine power leveling prayer with ourg bones until you can get access to superior dragon bones, stuff like that.
You make a new account, funnel the money to it, and ~~speedrun 33-2277~~ get banned for RWT immediately with no recourse.* ftfy
I reckon with that amount of money you might just be able to speed run from level 3 rather than 33 though my maths might be off
33 skill level, you're thinking of combat level starting at level 3
I was trying to be funny. I failed
Ahhh tough luck!
As a dad who barely has time to play id be very happy to have GP not be any issue with the game.
Cheers to all the osrs dads
Assuming u have all buyable skills 99 already, owning all max gear is approx 11B. This includes nieche items like the three nightmare staffs.

maybe. although you could just get bis and start pet/dust/kit hunting. but up to the person, rebuilding is pretty fun.
Imagine the amount of real life time you save though. At least 1k hrs shaved off.
The pickaxe cost 12b. Unless you're able to make 12m/hr consistently you're saving a lot more than 1k hours
Buy like 5,000 sets of PK gear until your cash stack is where it was originally.
that's kinda what I was thinking, that it'd immediately ruin the game for me
I don't enjoy grinding GP, I enjoy grinding collection logs. A 3rd age pickaxe would finally let me play the game how I really want to.
For most people that desire would very quickly wear off. Sure I love going clogging and skilling, but if I never had any gear upgrades to look forward to and just had BIS from nearly the start of clogging, it would become quickly boring.
Out of curiosity, do you have the core BIS items and most of the spec weapons?
Lol no. Only real raiding ice done is toa. Started getting into cox finally and loving it.
I thought the same but it makes learning content I might not have tried otherwise more enjoyable with max gear.
Yeah maybe, but you can do pretty much all content with non max gear. And now the rewards are effectively worthless too lol
Untradeable cosmetics are the real endgame
I guess it depends on what you like to do, but I certainly see what you’re saying!

This is why ironmen play ironmen. Rather than grind the best gp/hr. We actually have to grind the bosses
early and mid game ironman sounds amazing, it's later game ironman that sounds absolutely awful. big respect to late-game ironmen
Indeed... Went 3x dry on enh seed and now going 1.5x dry at least on Hydra claw...
I'd probably use it to get the buyable 99s out of the way with the most ridiculously quick and expensive methods. Nice treat.
[удалено]
Idk the price of gold, but at $0.15/m, that’s $1,800 USD. Maybe a hot take, but I think I’d rather keep my account for that price
I've never found gear progression to be a particularly fun part of the game personally. The feeling of "oh this would be so much more fun with a megarare" kills a lot of the enjoyment I get from the game.

could buy corp boosting for the pet, i'm pretty sure that sets you back a few bil.

72 years worth of Bonds
Buy 30+ years worth of bonds (at their current price) Or honestly, sell the pick for $2000 irl
12b is honestly barely enough for current max gear (including niche options), then if you want gimmick stuff like 3a or 200m buyables it can go pretty damn fast.
Two 3rd age pickaxe posts in one week. Jagex has quietly introduced bad luck mitigation confirmed
Ironically enough no one in the game is even on rate for a 3rd age pick
We should remove all 3A picks until someone goes 5x dry on it. It's only fair.
I always notice your profile pic and I hate it, thanks
12b drop... fking crazy. Congrats!
Little extra reward: 12b

So what about the other 2 chests? Cmon OP, don’t leave us hanging!
Got the b2b robe bottoms of darkness, still b2b :D
The mimic has provided!
It was the 4th mimic ever lmao
Split I tbed
Hey its me your friend
Daaaamn a d scim? Fuckin nice
https://preview.redd.it/gyae8a1xryyc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8ba32310a72d45ff2f1b33a9ddea9d05779e7ae
Dragon Scimmy and Dagger???
The only item that just straight up funds BIS everything and all the buyable 99s
That's worth over 1000 bonds... over $8000! jeeeeeeez
8000 Arizona iced teas!
Unfortunately that's not the way value gp in real money. 12B is about $2000 in real money, when sold to other players.
did you get the b2b?
Mimic adds a “little” extra reward 🤣
Gz! Dragon scimitar and dragon dagger, that's hugee!
Well I got 25 zammy wines from my mimic so take that
I do like me a d scim. Was a major upgrade on my iron.
dam a dragon scimmy AND a dragon dagger? 2006 you would have been rich
This is why i love doing clues. For the small chance of something like this happening, and never having to worry about gp again.
This post is the perfect example of why we need good luck mitigation /s
Damn that’s 41 years worth of membership
No way he got the Robe bottom of Darkness. Gz!
The mimic adds a “little” extra reward for you.
oh fuck yeah dragon dagger og
The way my jaw flung open. GG and also fuck you
12b today, 42b in 2 years. I wouldn't sell it.
If they add a way to sell items for more than max cash like RS3 has, then it'll hard crash just like party hats on RS3 did.
Platinum tokens? Or are you talking about in the GE?
In the GE, more recent update. Max cash increase
they're planning on doing this... just no telling when it'll be implemented
Have they actually commented on this?
I'd get 99 mining with that bad boy
level up prayer with the money =)))
Ahh you lucky mfer. 🥲
Robe bottoms of darkness, nice!
Gz for 2 col logs
I bought the last one off a redditor if you need a buyer hit me up 👍🏼
U lucky sob
Great, now give every single commenter here 10m
Huge congrats man I’m happy for you! In a weird way I almost feel like this amount of gp would ruin the game for me. I’m probably alone on that one though lol
Insanity, have fun with all that GP while us peasants keep doing herb runs for cash
Gz (fuck you!)
Damn that’s juicy!
Love how 1 item basically sets you up all BiS basically. 😂 literally osrs lotto.
Dude, that was MY casket!
Does mimic have enhanced 3a drop rate for its actual drop or is it for the item it adds to the casket
Good on ya for hiding ur username lol, anytime I see anyone get a 3A pick on here always the first thing I check 😂 scum bags will hack you in a heartbeat
I’ve got 175 elite caskets(and counting since I’m running sepulcher for 99 agility lately) and 180 hard caskets stacked up waiting for my last 2-3 master clue items before I blow a huge dopamine load on my gim. I pray for a fraction of this luck lmao
Ironman or??
Main
Comments full of 12b but last pc I remember seeing was 3.5 wtf happened 💀
Someone on the subreddit sold their 3rd age pick a week ago for 12b
If I got one of these I don’t think I’d sell it, that much gp would ruin the game for me, I’d just flex it
Nice man grats on the D scim
Man I wish. I’ve had 4 mimics from 96 master clues and getting really bummed out about getting fuck all loot
Are third age finally dropping now? This is like the 10th thread past month.
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that these posts are fake and they're being used to manipulate the price of 3a picks. If the OP replies in this thread that it sold for over 13b+ I will be suspicious. Outside of my manic conspiracy, gz man!
Not earned.
3rd age pickaxe drop rate from mimic: 1/5,500 Rank 1 mimic: 567 kc So there is only one player who is 10% the way towards rate I'm sure you were just making a humorless joke but it's still a funny point that not one of these has ever been earned
Holy smokes...
you also get a chance of pickaxe from regular master caskets. iirc there's 6 rolls on average from each master casket @ roughly 1/300,000 = 1/50k rate overall per casket. correct me if im wrong but thats 1/5k for each mimic plus 1/50k for each master casket. 1 in 15 chance for a master casket to be a mimic so i figure more pickaxes have come from master caskets themselves than from a resulting mimic. rank 1 mimic also has 7,000 master caskets with a 7,000/50,000 chance of 3a pick form those so you'd have to add that to their mimic rate. (still not on rate assuming rates are accurate)
Master casket would be 1/50k, not 1/5k.
ye its still significant though cuz u only get mimics 1/15 master caskets
I mean I guess but you're roughly 63x more likely to get one from a mimic so it seems like a moot point. #1 master clue KC is 8k so nobody is even close in that regard either
