Latest hourly price and 24h change.
A Barrows crossbow stole the show today, and a few skilling staples clawed back some of last week’s losses. Up top, the Fractured Archive’s megarare is still moving eye-watering sums.
Karil’s crossbow takes off
304.7K gp · ▲ 200.6% in 24h · ▲ 211.3% in 7d · 210 traded (21.29M gp)
Karil’s crossbow has spent years as a quiet Barrows drop, and today its price shot up on a small number of trades. That’s not many crossbows, so some of this could be a thin market getting pushed around. We couldn’t find an update, post or patch note behind it, so the cause isn’t clear yet. Karil himself remains unavailable for comment.
Raw karambwan bounces back
176 gp · ▲ 42.1% in 24h · ▼ 26.6% in 7d · 2,746,450 traded (340.5M gp)
This is the biggest story by volume today. Raw karambwan had a rough week, and today a good chunk of that slide came back on millions of fish. The More Gathering Efficiencies update from 14 October tweaked Fishing (bait straight from the Tackle Box, among other things), but nothing in it touches karambwan, so the cause of this bounce isn’t clear yet.
Lava runes heat up
19 gp · ▲ 62.1% in 24h · ▼ 23.8% in 7d · 12,645,825 traded (146.6M gp)
Same shape as karambwan: down on the week, up sharply on the day, and on serious volume. We found no official change to lava runes or to the spells that use them, so the cause isn’t clear yet.
Drift nets pick up
1,521 gp · ▲ 84.4% in 24h · ▼ 14.4% in 7d · 80,335 traded (66.25M gp)
Drift nets, the Fossil Island underwater fishing staple, jumped today after a softer week. Volume was normal for drift nets, so this wasn’t a sudden rush of trading. No news post mentions them, so the cause isn’t clear yet.
The Obligator keeps the GE busy
2.743B gp · ▲ 7.1% in 24h · 579 traded (1.483T gp) · 2.1× usual volume
Not a big mover, but by far the most gp changing hands. The Obligator is the crush megarare from The Fractured Archive, the raid that launched on 20 October, and it’s still in its first week of trading. Jagex describes it re-rolling its damage and hitting harder against big targets, which goes a long way to explaining the demand.

What to watch
Karil’s crossbow is the one to watch: a move this big on few trades can settle fast or keep running, and a cause may still surface. Further out, Quest Month rewards are heading to polls, so keep an eye on the news feed.
