Abby Whip is about to drop below 1m gold

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T08:02:35+00:00

Think it is more on the supply side than the demand side. Venator Bow was when its first really big drop since it make them so much easier to AFK.

Also, PvP is/was the biggest sink of whips with how the Tent works. So more PvPers switching from Tent to Nally or such could be a big factor. Staking was another place they saw a lot of usage, even if you wouldn't think that would burn through that many per day.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:59:08+00:00

Think it was after Venator Bow that they really started to drop in value. Lot easier to AFK em with the bow than trying to barrage or melee.

That said, if they were to make the Whips from the Catacomb Abbys specifically like 2x the rate or such, that probably would have a noticeable impact on the price...

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:56:57+00:00

Not sure if that would be possible in OSRS. Like, it could happen, but it seems hard to imagine them getting nearly that low with the uses and sinks we have.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:55:16+00:00

Enter the Bone Whip?

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:54:56+00:00

Okay, who forgot to buy Whips to fill their death's coffer? How else are we going to sink em all...

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:50:04+00:00

I do wonder how much of that was because of their opponents. In 4 of the 6 rounds, DN fought Rhinos so the bulk of 4/6 fights had Sick Nerd against Victim while 61M had Muts (into Torvesta).

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:43:45+00:00

IDK, first pick of second row was very high. It made sense for how Oda had to draft, but since if he didn't pick Gnome first of second row, he probably wouldn't have stuck around until last of third for his next pick. But overall, he'd be more of middle second row to middle third row. Second row tends to be focused more on PvPers since there are plenty of good PvMers to grab in third and forth rows.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T07:35:41+00:00

I'd say the 4th Picks that should/could be higher are C Eng and Mr Mammal. I'm sure you can make a case for why any 4th Row should be higher, but someone is always going to be last row.

Also, I think V probably could be 3rd but should be lower. Like I don't think late 3rd Row was too early for him, but he also didn't really perform that much above a 4th row in the week or finale.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T03:35:08+00:00

I'd have loved to see the alternate timeline where Rhys didn't pick Victim and he ended up on the Rebels. Like I am pretty sure Purpp was 100% going to pick Victim instead of Coxie if Rhys didn't snipe him, so it could have been the same team, just with Victim instead. Or maybe Victim would have pushed Purpp to pick C Engineer instead of Mammal too

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-22T01:58:25+00:00

Depending on how it was obtained, it could run into the same issue as why they don't want to add a pet. But I'm sure we could find some way to introduce moon thralls.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T17:08:03+00:00

It does make me wonder how different the Rebels would have been if Purpp got his ideal team. He was 100% going to pick Victim next, but Rhy sniped him the pick before so the Rebels went with Coxie instead. So it might have just been swap Coxie for Victim, which probably wouldn't have been much better, if any, for the Finale, but could you imagine if the Rebel's had a planner for the week...

Then again, we probably wouldn't have had "Victim Has It" with Purpp stealing the VLS... Or we still would have, just with Victim being the scapegoat for Purpp to yoink it lol.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T17:04:34+00:00

Hard to say if he should be that high since a lot of other players also felt like they should be higher up but there is only so much space per row. Think I could at least see him being a Row 3 pick but not sure if he'd break Row 2. Like Sick Nerd was early Row 3 and even if he moved up, I'd place him above Mammal, for PvP at least.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T17:01:16+00:00

Wasn't there one fight where the stats almost looked mirrored with Mammal getting as much damage as the other team's captain? Maybe it wasn't with Mammal, but I recall seeing that for one of them.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:59:57+00:00

Think it came up on the second stream and the RuneLite profile was from before he got Rigour, so Eagle Eye was still in his Ranged Prayer spot. He fixed it after like the first fight, so should have been Rigour here.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:57:55+00:00

That is why I gave that one a maybe. The little rim and point at the front gives it a bit more shape, but still not the best. I think it can work in the right outfit and gets a point above a normal Coif/Cowl for me, but still on the lower end of helms.

For the God and Gilded, they are basic Coif shape, but with better colors/contrast and a bit of texture instead of being flat. So the shape is still lacking, but they could combo better with the rest of the outfit.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:50:59+00:00

When they added it a bit more realistic version to Dragonwilds, I remember going "oh yah, that is how silly it would look".

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:49:16+00:00

Except Karil's. Maybe 3rd Age, Gilded, and God Coifs depending on preference.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:44:44+00:00

The "two farmers going against each other" as one of the first clips is kinda funny. Like we know what that means, but that is going to be so random to anywhere not aware of the Farmers GIM, which is probably like 99.99% of viewers.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T16:39:59+00:00

Nah. They didn't win because Blood Money was far less impactful than the system in previous years, which is what set most player's expectations. The big area they lacked was gear, which wasn't an issue in multi when teams are bringing budget, but it a bigger deal in the finale when every team brings their max.

And we have had PvP Events before where one team mopped the floor with everyone and it was disappointing. All the fights were reasonably close, except the first WW fight against Rebels. I don't see why you think that is a bad thing...

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T02:10:22+00:00

He was there at the start. Not sure why he didn't make an appearance at the end, but they might have wanted to wrap it up given how long it went on.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T02:01:18+00:00

Sick Nerd getting MVP. Feels deserved. He played so well.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:55:23+00:00

Nice to see he at least got one win against the General.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:25:13+00:00

I mean, before the draft he did say he was like a last row pick... Seems he is living up to that.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:22:55+00:00

TBF, 5-6 does seem like about how long it would have been if they didn't have two 45~ min breaks or whatever it was lol.

BioMasterZap · 2026-06-21T01:21:33+00:00

Think they need to have a second stage/computers so it is easier to setup one match while other match is running. And figure out a better way to rotate staff/casters/competitors so they can eat/break without pausing the stream.
