Here it is, the
Grand Exchange Portfolio system. Some of you may be aware of this if you read my November Informer article. For those who aren't aware of what this system does, here's a rundown:
- Track prices and keep watch of individual items.
- Track prices and keep watch of a basket of items.
- Look up the current price and price history of RuneScape items.
You must be logged in to access your own portfolio. If you aren't logged in you'll be able to view a selection of community baskets. This brings us to community baskets.
Right now we have about 5 community baskets set up for you all to view as an example. There will be more in the future. If you think one of the baskets you make might make a good basket for everyone,
send it to me.
To get started simply search for an item. From here you can either add the item to a basket by creating a new basket or selecting a pre-existing basket. You can also add an item by just clicking the basic "+" button, this will add the item to your general watch list.
You can also see what items are in a basket from the main portfolio page by clicking the down arrow. This will also allow you to change the name of the basket, set an alert price, or delete the basket (or items) entirely.
The price index is a value that starts at 100 on basket creation. Indices are calculated going backwards in price history. You can view the past history of the basket by clicking on the hyperlink.
This brings us to the graph page. These probably look familiar since they use the same technology that the Skill of The Month graphs use. This page is useful for viewing past history of an item or basket. You can toggle which items are displayed on the graph by clicking on a row in the table below.
With that being said I hope you enjoy this "little" tool. It is a beta. The beta status means that things might change in the future, although not dramatically. It also means you may discover odd hiccups as you use the system, though most of the basic features should presently be working. If you see anything that doesn't appear right, post it here.
