    Hello,
    Just wonder if it could be interesting to add a vendor at 24/7outpost that carry this kind of runebooks.
    Maybe there's already some shops that sell thoses?
    Thank you for your comments.

    I did this briefly and they definitely sell very well. The issue is how time-consuming it is to make all of the books that ultimately led me to stop doing it. If you can get a good razor macro figured out to do it and have all the resources for it on hand, then yeah, you will find a very good market indeed.

    Some of my best selling runebooks were ones that went to specific colored ore veins, to oak trees, and places like that in addition to the general town and dungeon ones.

    Yes, they sold out quick! People make recall razor macros to hit all the trees and deposit the wood so they just let it run and keep an eye out for the afk gump

    I've done it in the past myself. My advice is to make a good stockpile before you start sales. Once you get behind the curve it's hard to catch up.

    Definitely! I ran a shop on another freeshard with about a dozen vendors. For a few weeks I was nearly entirely selling filled runebooks: Towns, Factions, Bank Roofs, Dungeons, Farming Hotspots, PK Hotspots, Romantic places, Champions... you name it! Sold most of them for 10 - 15k. I was sold out nearly every evening. I wondered why this isn't a thing here on UOR and thought, that it's probably because Rune Books aren't blessed here.

    To cut it short: I would buy this!

    Edit: 3k it's way to less! Even if they are not blessed here. I wouldn't bother making them for 3k.

    I was selling the town and dungeon ones for around 4 or 5k, and the resource-specific ones for around 8-10k. They sold out pretty shortly after I put them up on the vendor every time.

    Shad, charge ALOT for these.... Rare spawn books, town books, dungeon books, reg vendor books, chap spawn books, rune library books ect... I mean just a champ spawn book properly labeled could be worth 40k to someone?

    Rezon's place has a vendor selling marked runebooks.

    I used to have a guy at WYNB that did it, he made tons of gold then quit. His vendors were still standing over a year after he left with all the gold he left on them

    You have 6 accounts man! This shouldn't be a problem!

    One account per style of book.

    GOOD LUCK GOOD BUDDY!
