Cheap Shards Today!


A while ago I found an interesting tip on the Truth Scape forums. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a pouch exchange until then. Checking todays losers in price on the GE, the bunyip pouch came up as having lost 31.5% of its value over the past month. A quick bit of calculation:


Pouch cost: 1,701
# of shards to make: 110
# of shards from pouch exchange: 77 (you get 70% back)
Shard cost: 25
Shard cost when exchanged: 22 (1701gp divided by 77 shards)


It might not look like much, but it is a 12% discount on your shard prices. Over the long haul this is a significant savings for almost no effort.

**D'OH!**

After digging a bit further, you need to be at least 1 level over the required level to make the pouch you are exchanging, so not a lot of people will be able to exchange bunyips. It does look like this holds true for most other pouches though.
