Amethyst dart(p++) crashes 66% as four alarm signals fire at once

A quieter Friday on the surface, but the GE’s signal board lit up like a Christmas cracker — one item triggered every alarm we track.

Amethyst dart(p++) in freefall

172 gp · ▼ 66.2% in 24h · ▼ 74.2% in 7d · 76,794 traded (13.19M gp) · 3.7× usual volume

The poisoned amethyst dart tripped all four signals today: price move, weekly move, volume spike, and spread blowout. It dropped from roughly 508 gp to 172 gp in a single day on nearly four times its usual volume, and the buy-sell spread ballooned to over seven times normal.

No official post has directly nerfed or changed amethyst darts. Monday’s Quest Month update fixed the rosewood blowpipe special attack to consume darts as intended, and the weekly decline lines up with that fix — but whether that’s enough to explain a 74% collapse isn’t obvious. Something spooked the market hard.

Horn of Bran finds a floor

316.5M gp · ▲ 3.4% in 24h · ▼ 39.5% in 7d · 1,004 traded (307.2B gp)

After a week of relentless selling, the Horn of Bran bounced 3.4% to 316.5M — up from yesterday’s 306M low. That’s still less than half of where it sat two weeks ago, but today’s uptick is the first green candle since Sunday’s TFA loot table reveal showed it as the most common unique at 3 in 15.

Volume held steady near its daily average with over 307B gp changing hands. With TFA balance tweaks to encounter difficulty and Ascension shard rates still promised, the Horn isn’t out of the woods — but the panic selling may have run its course.

Runecraft tablets keep surging

2,327 gp · ▲ 89.3% in 24h · ▲ 162% in 7d · 11,482 traded (14.12M gp)

Ourania teleport tablets have more than doubled this week, and they’re not alone — the Arceuus library teleport rose 52% over the same stretch. Both are staples for Runecrafting, and their simultaneous climb follows a broader teleport surge that hit the Civitas illa Fortis scroll earlier in the week.

No game update has changed the Ourania altar or Arceuus altar recently. The cause of the run isn’t clear yet, but when multiple tablets in the same skill move together, it usually points to renewed interest in that activity rather than a one-off flip.

Megarares cool off

679.6M gp · ▼ 0.5% in 24h · ▼ 5.5% in 7d · 532 traded (361.6B gp)

Tumeken’s shadow slipped another half-percent today and is down 5.5% on the week, while the Scythe of Vitur fell 4.9% and the Twisted bow eased 1.6%. Together the three moved over 1.3 trillion gp through the GE today. The drift has been steady rather than sharp, suggesting gradual selling pressure rather than a single catalyst. With TFA pulling endgame attention — and the Obligator sitting at 2.945B as a new best-in-slot chase item — some rotation out of the older megarares was always on the cards.

What to watch

The TFA balance tweaks are still incoming and any change to shard rates or encounter tuning will move the Horn of Bran and its siblings again. Keep an eye on amethyst darts to see if today’s crash stabilises or if the floor drops further. And with the Deep Sea Diving expansion proposing permanent Runecraft pouch buffs, the teleport tablet rally might have longer legs than a typical flip.
