So the big news first. Quite a few people have been asking about the Godwars (Torva/Pernix/Virtus) items and when we would be able to take more action on these. We looked at them in some detail and decided that both the prices and the gameplay needed some work. The prices have had extra movement, basically allowing them to change in price more often, whilst still taking the natural next price determined by your offers. This might not give them an instant movement to a higher price, but it is giving them some more movement whilst we worked on gameplay fixes, and we'll continue to support these items while they need this.

Mod Chris has posted on thread 15-16-782-62433050 to tell you about the gameplay changes which were released in the game yesterday. These are to make the area more accessible, to make the drops distribute better for groups, and to increase the chance of getting the Torva/Pernix/Virtus items. This should make the new Godwars are a better experience for groups hunting these valuable items. Have a look at Mod Chris' post which tells you all the details.

Thank you all for your posts recently. To respond to a few:

M P G - Thanks for your note about edibles.

Nayr Ryan, lll Haku lll - I've added your suggestions to the list. Shakarrii, SadZ, will take a look at yours too.

Tdk197 - We do want people to find their skills valuable. However to just raise the prices for items would be an artificial attempt to do that, and no-one would want to buy them at those prices. The guide prices represent the price at which items are being bought and sold, and as you will know, you can't sell for a high price if other people are prepared to sell for a lower one. (This is the point that Brain OU makes in his post). So we can't get you more for your produce simply by faking a guide price to be higher than the price established by supply and demand.

Your fishing level is an excellent achievement, congratulations. However take joy in having reached a prestigious level as no high level is a guarantee of making money, especially when many other people have levels allowing them to do the same activities.
Based on the prices you suggest, you're making around 60% of what you hope for, which is quite good really. Some skills such as prayer or herblore tend to make a loss as the exp is so valuable.

Thanks for the status report, Libra. It's very helpful and reassuring to see you posting like that every once in a while :)

Anyways, you guys might want to take a look at Bronze Arrows, and Headless Arrows. Some idiot posted his manipulation recruitment thread here in Items to tell us all about it: 17-18-627-62440868. It would most definitely serve them right to have their item crash hard.
