NPC store update

I'm not sure when, but Jagex released an update recently. Now instead of competing with other players for a NPC store's stock, the restock process is individual. This means that instead of regenerating on a world-by-world basis, the store restocks on an individual player basis. So this eliminates world hopping, but also eliminates competing with other players for a store's stock. This caused a temporary spike in feather prices in February, which has settled down but still remains above what it was previously. Feathers currently go for 31 each on the GE, and you can buy them for 6 each at Hank's fishing store in Lumbridge. It's certainly worth visiting Lumbridge every now and then to pick up the full load of 1000 feathers and resell for a profit of 25K. The speed at which you can make money with this has settled down, but it's a nice boost now and then. Also if you're operating multiple accounts, you won't be competing with yourself. Currently the update leaves more demand then supply, so it's a nice situation for merchants.

With this update, buying some runes can also give you a profit. Air, fire, and water runes all can be bought from rune shops and sold or profit on the GE. I bought all these runes for 15,130 gp and resold for 33,600 gp. Not too bad.
