Week of Mon Oct 19 to Sun Oct 25, 2026.
The Fractured Archive launch split the GE. Its five-unique index is about 69% lower since launch, while Tonalztics of Ralos tripled and Ascension consumables rose. The first 6h prints for the uniques were thin, so treat those launch prices as markers. This brief uses Sunday spot ranges and 6h mids.

Week in flows
The raid uniques dropped hard
The basket sits near 4.15B GP, about 69% below the sum of its first post-launch 6h mids. Rondache went from 653.17M to 34.00M-34.01M, down 94.8% since launch. Zorya’s tome went from 795.22M to 52.06M-52.63M, down 93.4%. Ascension crossbows are 451.00M-460.90M, down 74.9%, while Horn of Bran is 542.00M-550.00M, down 74.3%. Obligator is 3.040B-3.080B, down 61.7%. Launch prints were thin, including Obligator’s 8.000B first print. Sunday’s marks sit at or near their 6h week lows.
Chart: Rondache, Sunday spot 34.00M-34.01M.
Chart: Ascension crossbows, Sunday spot 451.00M-460.90M.
The Fractured Archive Uniques index is about 4.15B GP Sunday, down about 69% since launch.
Tonalztics tripled, then cooled
Tonalztics of Ralos rose from a 53.76M Monday 6h mid to 159.86M-165.00M Sunday spot, up 202.1% on the week. It peaked at a 188.56M 6h mid Friday and now sits 10.5% below its 24h average. It is off Friday’s high but still up sharply on the week. Jagex said it expects Tonalztics to remain a must-have for efficient groups.
Chart: Tonalztics of Ralos (uncharged), Sunday spot 159.86M-165.00M.
Inquisitor’s armour and mace went opposite ways
The Inquisitor’s armour set gained 21.4%, from a 328.35M Monday 6h mid to 397.39M-399.74M Sunday spot. The great helm did more, up 67.9% to 143.00M-146.00M. The mace fell 33.2%, from 350.92M to 232.00M-237.09M, and its 250.54M Sunday 6h mid was a week low. Read: the price action favored armour while the mace lost ground.
Chart: Inquisitor’s armour set, Sunday spot 397.39M-399.74M.
Chart: Inquisitor’s mace, Sunday spot 232.00M-237.09M.
Ascension supplies rose as uniques fell
Ascension shards rose 96.2% from the 897 GP launch-morning 6h mid to a wide 1,483-2,036 GP Sunday spot range. Ascension bolts gained 34.4%, from 244 GP to 326-330 GP. Both are below their Friday 6h highs: 2,076 GP for shards and 498 GP for bolts. One read is that raid activity is lifting supply demand, but prices alone do not show who is buying or why.
Ascension shards are 1,483-2,036 GP Sunday; Ascension bolts are 326-330 GP.
Ranged gear held up better
The Masori armour set (f) gained 23.6% on the week, Masori chaps 59.9%, Zaryte crossbow 16.5%, and Twisted bow 6.1%. The Tbow reached a 1.476B Friday 6h high, then eased to 1.400B-1.407B Sunday spot, 4.6% below its 24h average. Elsewhere, Harmonised orb fell 39.9%, Soulflame horn 54.6%, and Tumeken’s shadow 12.0%. The tape does not identify a single raid mechanic behind those moves.
Twisted bow is 1.400B-1.407B Sunday, up 6.1% on the week.

Official / patch risk
Jagex confirmed a Defence-reduction hotfix in The Fractured Archive - Out Today. Archive Guardian, Bork, Ezekiel, Moia, Xarth, and Ocellus now cap Defence reduction at 60% of base. Dreadnoth, the Smorks, the Dagon’Hai Trio, and The Blade in Ocellus P2 can still reach zero. Ocellus also no longer restores Defence between P3 quadrants. Jagex said Tonalztics should remain a must-have for efficient groups. There is no confirmed Ralos item nerf. Practice Mode has no date yet.
The same post cut Nex crush defence from +60 to +35 to help Obligator at Nex. That has not held crush prices up this week: Inquisitor’s mace is down 33.2%, Dragon warhammer 21.7%, and Crimson kisten 12.2%. The launch post also listed Araxxor stepunder, Mystic Vigour and Deadeye display, the chisel failing to cut Ascension shards, UIMs locked out of Pete Kayer storage, Deadman W345 exclusion, and unsafe HCIM raid deaths as known issues. An Oct 22 hotfix prevented food and potion losses on disconnect.
Hardcore Worlds start Nov 4 with a separate economy. On death, a player can reset or transfer to the main game. The GE read is a slow trickle of transferred items, not a shock.
The Oct 24 in-client membership price thread reflects the official Mar 10 change reaching renewals, not a new October increase. The 12-month EUR price is 119.88, up from 89.88, with renewals changing from Apr 9 or the next bill date. The Old school bond is down 11.3% on the week at 9.80M-10.12M Sunday spot, after a 9.75M 6h low Friday. The price change does not by itself explain the bond move.
Watchlist for next week
- Fractured Archive Uniques index: watch whether the first full week after launch finds a floor; more supply could reprice the basket. Invalidation: Rondache trades below its 31.12M 6h week low.
- Tonalztics of Ralos: watch whether the pullback holds above the Monday 53.76M 6h mid; it could reprice if groups keep the weapon in use. Invalidation: below 53.76M.
- Inquisitor’s mace: watch whether the 250.54M Sunday 6h low holds while armour stays firm. Invalidation: a new 6h low below 250.54M.
