For those affected by it, what are we advising them? The RS Economist says to sell. As many mint cakes were bought as sold, though none of them for millions. This is the first time I've ever seen it where no-one seemed entirely sure what to do. We all get so used to a consensus in merchanting. I just wanted to record it here, as a moment of Runescape history. 'If you can keep your head, while all about you, people are losing their's and blaming you.'Īs I said, this doesn't directly affect me, though I do have a upset relative for whom it has. They are freely available by playing the Gnome Restaurant minigame.' I wish I'd taken her name, as she really did meet a lot of abuse with simple facts and calm. She calmly answered every question, however confused or angry stating with infinite patience, over and over again, 'Mint cakes were traded as rares. She was acting as a public information service. She didn't appear to be alching, fletching or anything else. There was a sole player moderator standing in the middle of it all. Here and there, though, were upset players screaming vengeance upon Jagex and all who sail in her. Apparently strange fruit are another favourite of the junk traders. Three strange fruit spawn every 15 mins near Brimhaven. Someone else agreed, comparing them to strange fruit. Mint cakes were rocking right now, but they would resume their original position. He told them that they were idiots, because it would stabilise. I saw one high level player laughing in glee, as he bought up 35 mint cake at 100k each. To the credit of the sellers, I didn't see a single transaction taking place without the seller warning the buyer that mint cakes were crashing. Others were rushing around buying every bargain mint cake that they could get their hands on. One person was selling mint cake for minimum in the GE and telling us so next to him was someone else selling mint cake for 1.4m each, via junk trading. It was a crowded world, though not a trading one, and the thing that was starkly apparent was that there was no consensus of opinion. Last night (Tues), I stood in shock watching the mix of emotions in the GE. I'd heard that, if both parties had completed all quests and had been friends for over 3 months, then the trade limit was now 180k. I don't have a mint cake and I was too busy happy dancing over the increased trade limits. In all honesty, that didn't even make a blip on my radar. One of the updates on Monday made the mint cake a more common reward in the Gnome Restaurant.
Nevertheless, it happened and that's been the way of the world until this week. I certainly don't understand how such a difference in price can exist between GE and street. I'm not savvy enough about the lores and tides of junk trading to know why it ever became such a sought after item. It wasn't even thought of as a merchanting gem back then. I had one after the quest and nommed it there and then, thinking of Kendal. It's also a semi-rare reward from the Gnome Restaurant minigame.

Everyone finishing 'The Path of Glouphrie' gets a free mint cake. They weren't particularly rare, but were highly uncommon. I'd made a mental note to mention the situation to Jdeh Rhyfela and ODST Isaac, both of whom I know have mint cakes, but then put it out of my mind until then.įor those not in the loop, the situation seem to be that mint cakes are worth about 20k on the GE, but several million in world 2/street prices.
I was already aware that there was an issue, because I read The RS Economist. It was world 84, so not a big merchanting world, but every second person seemed to be trying to buy or sell mint cakes. I saw a quite remarkable sight last night, as I nipped in to check on my GE bids just before bed.
