Announcement

The maximum number of characters available for a Jagex Account has been increased from 20 to 50.

Known Issues | Status

Upon using the Grand Exchange for transactions, platinum tokens get converted to GP. | We’re working on improvements to address this in a future update, and we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused for those with large amounts of Platinum tokens and for Clan coffers. In the meantime, to prevent this from happening, we recommend having the exact amount of coins you need for your purchase in your inventory.

Grand Exchange interactions can sometimes result in coins showing a placeholder in the bank unnecessarily. | This is on our radar. In the meantime, right-clicking the placeholder and selecting the 'Release' option will make it go away.

Fletching by using the Fletching Knife results in connection lost. | Fixed

This week's PvP World Rota hasn't been applied. | Fixed

The Grand Exchange is going grander... The "Beyond Max Cash" update is here!

GE Improvements: Beyond Max Cash

You can now buy and sell items beyond the old 2.147b GP limit, using a combination of Coins and Platinum tokens!

How It Works

  • Put your offer in at the GE as usual, with the ability to input higher than the max cash limit of 2.147b!

  • When the offer completes, your payment will automatically be taken as usual, using whatever combination of coins and platinum that works best. This might mean you'll get some coins back for platinum used - GE bankers don't keep the change!

  • All item stacks, including coins, are still capped at 2.147b.

  • Existing trade restrictions, such as buy limits, remain unchanged.

  • GE tax still applies, meaning these high-value trades will continue to contribute to the game’s gold sinks, helping keep our game's economy nice and healthy long term.

  • Many interfaces across the game now support displaying item values over 2.147b. The notable exceptions to this are loot tracker and ground items.

  • Plus, we're implementing more responsive guide prices to better reflect current market conditions day-to-day, and they will update by a higher maximum!

  • We've also added a handy new icon to represent exactly what you're receiving.

Other Changes

  • Increased the range that chat from players can be seen to 15 tiles (from 8 tiles)

  • Fixed Huey's tail spawning in the wrong orientation

  • Fixed Agility shortcuts raising when traversing them

PvP Rota

The PvP rota has moved to Period B:

  • 560 - (UK) - PvP World

  • 319 - (US) - Bounty Hunter World

  • 579 - (US) - High-Risk PvP World

  • 561 - (UK) - Free-to-Play PvP World

  • 580 - (US) - LMS Competitive

World 390 (AUS) for LMS Competitive has been de-activated with this rota.

World 569 (AUS) for Bounty Hunter has been de-activated with this rota.

The PvP Arena is using '1 Def Pure' loadouts in Ranked Duels and Tournaments this week.

Game worlds are back online! You can now buy and sell items beyond the old 2.147 billion GP cap using a combination of Coins and Platinum tokens! Thank you for your patience.

Before we dive into the Grand Exchange improvements, we wanted to give you a bit of context on this week's update.

The team has been hard at work preparing for RuneFest 2026, which is happening this weekend! Taking into account that J-Mods will be heading off to RuneFest, we've also been working ahead on the following week's game update to make sure we can keep our usual update schedule.

On top of that, the Beyond Max Cash update is technically challenging work, requiring plenty of behind-the-scenes preparation.

As a result, this week's update may look a little lighter than usual. That doesn't reflect the amount of work that's gone into it, with both the technical demands of Beyond Max Cash and our RuneFest preparations keeping the team busy.

Thanks for your support, and we can't wait to see you at RuneFest!

GE Improvements: Beyond Max Cash

It's time to cough up that Platinum because today we're releasing our Beyond Max Cash update!

If you missed the original proposal blog, you can catch up here or by watching the video below.

The Grand Exchange has long been a fundamental part of Old School's economy, and one of the biggest benefits (aside from being able to get your hands on all those tradeable items without doing the grind) is how every sale is done conveniently, safely and with an accurate representation of the item's value. Up to a maximum offer of 2,147,483,647gp, that is.

So, when it's come to the highest value items, you'd need to track down a seller through third-party websites, trust you're getting a good deal and then meeting face to face to make the trade. A bit of a hassle, really.

Well as of today we're making that process super simple. You'll now be able to buy and sell items beyond the old 2.147b cap using a combination of Coins and Platinum tokens! Just pop your offer in and let the GE bankers do all the work for you.

How It Works

  • Put your offer in at the GE as usual, with the ability to input higher than the max cash limit of 2.147b!

  • When the offer completes, your payment will automatically be taken as usual, using whatever combination of coins and platinum that works best. This might mean you'll get some coins back for platinum used - GE bankers don't keep the change!

  • All item stacks, including coins, are still capped at 2.147b.

  • Existing trade restrictions, such as buy limits, remain unchanged.

  • GE tax still applies, meaning these high-value trades will continue to contribute to the game’s gold sinks, helping keep our game's economy nice and healthy long term.

  • Many interfaces across the game now support displaying item values over 2.147b. The notable exceptions to this are loot tracker and ground items.

  • Plus, we're implementing more responsive guide prices to better reflect current market conditions day-to-day, and they will update by a higher maximum! We're changing the max a guide price can change by from 5% to 20%, with this price updating every 3 hours instead of every 24 hours. Lower volume items will be updated more too, previously they didn't reach a trade volume threshold.

  • We've also added a handy new icon to represent exactly what you're receiving.

What Are The Benefits?

We hope that bringing these trades back into the GE provides the following:

  • A safer experience - players no longer have to rely on potential scam in-person trades or go through any potentially dodgy external websites.

  • Better price transparency - trades conducted through the GE provide clearer signals about the true value of rare items.

  • Greater gold sinking - keeping the game and economy nice and healthy by applying the GE tax to these trades.

  • Future-proofing - items from new content can be sold immediately at a player's convenience.

So there you have it, we've officially gone beyond max cash! Go on, get yourself that 3rd Age Pickaxe, treat yourself.
