**Useful information**
Profitting from your investments SHOULD upwards rise 500% or more. The profit you make will be from what you use to persuade.
Manipulation is NOT easy, and you won't get the hang of it right away. This takes practice, even though it's a Java based game.
**********************
Let's get started with it, shall we?
-------------------------------------
Manipulation by my standards is initially just taking your concept of supply and demand, and applying it to the customer base you plan to sell to. If you don't quite get this, it's okay. You'll understand as you progress. Infliction of price is wildly based off supply and demand, and it's always been that way. The main aspect of manipulation is demand. The amount of profit you will receive is supply. That is EXTREMELY important. You'll get this later on too if you don't.
Okay. So the first step in manipulation is studying the customers choices. This is what will in return make you either hundreds of millions in time, or will make you bomb your own manipulative base.
You need to understand what people want.
You need to understand how and why they want it.
And you need to figure out how you get your hands on it.
My personal preference is to find the three most populated words dedicated to trade. usual worlds are 1, and 2, I'm unaware of the third at this time. you find which third world suits you the best. F2p manipulation is also very effective, keep that in mind. So the worlds you choose shouldn't matter. Anyways, you want to go to these three worlds. Spent about 30 minutes in these worlds, 10 minutes at three different spots or more each. Spots I use: Varrock centre, Varrock GE outlining area, and Falador. The 2 varrock banks are also very very very much used. Their great spots too.
You want to go to these three places, and you want to understand what people are looking to buy. A good game plan is to get a free screen recorder, and record your sessions at these spots. It will allow you to double up studies.
Now here's the target line up for you: Weapons. Why? The wilderness is coming back. More melle, ranged, and mage type items will be used now. This is highly focusing on arrows and runes.Anyways, here's a good little thing to note down. Law runes. Law runes are going to be the highest demanded item in the game. They can be used to teleport away from battles, and they are cheap. Keyword here is cheap. Manipulation will make it so that little word parishes.
So let's back up a little bit to the locations part I explained. Let's say you're at world 1. People want, let's say Adamant arrows. Then you go to Varrock east bank, 3 more people need Adamant arrows you see. Then you go to the GE outlines, and you see even more people need Adamant arrows. Once you have this items base in your mind that people want it, completely forget about those people. Don't ask me why, just forget it. Forget the people, not the item.
Then you hop worlds to your second world. Once you're at your second location, look for the item again, except change it up this time. Instead of Addy arrows, look for people wanting mitrhil arrows. Completely forget those people AGAIN, hop worlds a third time. This time at this world, you see people at all 3 spots wanting rune arrows. You now have your item to manipulate. Your item will be at that time, arrows. ANY arrow.
Now, you want to go to world 2 when you find out your arrows are the target. If you are F2p manipulating, you use world 1. Check your locations again, this time, note which spot has the most people looking for arrows. Once noted, figure out which arrow people are looking for the most.
Let's say 2 people want Rune, 3 want Addy, and one wants Mithril. Adamant would be the clear choice for the regular manipulator, however I go more in depth. You want to have this formula down: (Price of arrows)x(number of people wanting them) here's an example.
3 people want Addy. currently an adamant arrow costs 149 GP. 3 of these arrows costs 447 GP.
2 people want rune. Rune arrows are 163 GP. 2 of those arrows 326 GP.
Mithril arrows are ~60gp, so it's logical adamant is dominant.
I'm figuring runite will go up soon, so I doubt Adamant will be dominant forever.
So now that you know your adamant arrows have the most profit base in them, you want to go to the graphs.
here is the adamant arrow graph:
Adamant arrow - Grand Exchange - RuneScape
You want to look at the end. If the graph is going down, you buy the item BELOW the med price.
Any amount below will work.
If it is going up, you buy above.
Do ANYTHING to get your hands on the item. That is the point of manipulation. Buy off the GE, buy off others in a completely different world.
Okay. So now you have your hands on the item you know is the target. So let's say you bought 3,000 adamant arrows. 3000x130 is 390k. Now, this is where persuasion comes in
You want to go back to the worlds and look for those people that initially wanted arrows. Now, you trade them, and offer them all the item you have. Offer the maximum amount they want to buy. Since you bought the item for 390k, check if he offers 390k.If he does, decline it.
Calculate what you've spent, and multiply it by 2. If the offer is below that, decline.
Simply tell him that's too low. Make him spike up his offer. When he offers more, Cancel your offer, and tell him something like "Sorry, I need more
" etc. Persuade him ANY way you can to get him to buy your item.
That is manipulation, and that is most likely the most in depth guide you'll ever get from it.
You should make 200%+ your investment every time if done right, upwards 600%+ too.
NOTE: Arrows were an example. You can manipulate ANY item using this guide.
I hope you enjoy it, your friend It0ken.
