I have been working on this project for 1 year - exactly 365 days, with some dayoffs, on those got help from Stans, thanks mate. The purpose of this was curiosity and data collecting. As you can see the material prices in GW can fluctuate too much from day to day. For future videos I need data to work with, let's say you want to calculate your profit at a certain farm, where you farm feathers. One day they worth 350g, next day 400, then 450. You see it guys? Hard to work with numbers like that, best idea I could come up with was a long-time project, gathering as many data as possible and working with average numbers. Also interesting to see the trends for a whole year. After watching the video you'll see some mats increased, some decreased over time, some had a quite linear trend, some was chaotic, some changed very much from day to day, there are many types of charts. I don't say that this data can be used to predict future years, imo every year is a bit different. In 2020 we had the 15 years old anniversary, that brought back players and surely had an inflact on the economical part of the game.

For the data nerds, you can download the spreadsheet here:

In this video there is an other half-finished project at the end, might be also interesting for you guys.

If any of you are wondering how much time making this vid took? Here's a short estimation:

365 days, 3 mins of work each day ( materials) ~ 19 hours
141days, 1-2 min of work each day ( runes) ~ 4 hours
editing, charts, spreadsheet ~20 hours
Total of 43 hours

The spreadsheet contains more than 15.000 of numbers, all wrote in manually.

Anyway here is the 100 days version of this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeSva7TbKAc&t=200s
And here is the 200 days version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUsRVLhDI9s
