So, a few days after the release of the new PvP I have noticed that alot of people have mixed views on PvP. Some say, that it couldn't be better, getting amazing drops such as dfh and such. On the other hand, some people havn't obtained anything of value through the drop tables yet. Some say that the new PvP is possibly the best profit in the game, while others say that it is a waste of money.

Bounty Hunter on the other hand, is usually quite profitable. Not considering the deserted cave that it may be for a few more days. No arming in F2P has proven to be quite a profitible, consistant source if you have the skills to do it. While as penalty hunting, target hunting, dbowing, in members all proves viable too.

The main point of discussion is, in your own opinion, PvP or Bounty Hunter more profitable? Or, in fact--which one takes more out of your RS bank, and into the GE?

Please vote and justify your vote, thanks.

This is pretty much a question/poll and not a discussion, so I'll be moving it to the Polling subforum.

[Mezzra]

Personally, I dislike PKing, therefore voted for both a waste of money.

[Hail]

Definitely Bounty Hunter. Whilst they do both burn money, Bounty Hunter can easily get you an AGS or BGS with just a little luck; the only good thing about PvP is the rare(and soon to be corrected to very rare) Dragon Full Helm or the new collapsing armor and weapons.

[Hersch]

I dislike PKing, I am a skiller to heart , so I voted they are both a waste of money. If someone forced me to vote, I would say BH would be more profitable. This new PvP is based too much on luck.

[K0ed U Ofc]

sadly, i'll have to say bounty hunter, because you get what you pk in it. New pvp is based on luck and drop tables.

[paradite]

If you dont care about profit Pvp is the way to go. I find it to be fairly difficult to profit in this new pvp unless you get lucky and obtain a high valued item such as a dragon full helm. Bounty hunter, however, can be very profitable. What the person is wearing is pretty much what you can look forward to getting if you happen to kill them.

[Nanrevenge]

I'd do Bounty Hunter if I wanted money, PvP is a waste of time, effort and money, especially in f2p worlds.

[Papertank487]

Bounty Hunter by far. Although it's much less enjoyable, fun, fair, and all around less pleasant it does make more money. PvP worlds are fun and more like the old wilderness style pking, but when reality sets in they are a big money drain. There's no way to profit in PvP worlds unless you get a lucky drop, which doesn't happen much at all.

[Tramp Boy 2]

I don't know all that much about either, but I would have to say that PVP is more profitable, even though the rewards are heavily luck based. I've seen countless people get items like dragon full helms and dragon chains on the PVP worlds, whereas good loot like that seems extremely rare in bounty hunter.

[dashster18]

Well they are both profitable, but in different ways.

The PvP can get you a huge boost in cash with one lucky drop, sorta like monster drops (hence the random drop table like monsters).

While Bh is consistent cash, because you will know what you will be getting. If your good enough Its one of the fastest money making methods ever (pretty sure in a good hour you can get about 10m+ high staking with sara sets).

most of the good loot comes to the level 120+ in dharoks at edge, for the average pker with combat lvls in the 90s its pretty much impossible to make money on a pvp world, if your using dragon bolts thats 5k a bolt everytime u lose one, if your dbowing then the dragon arrows are 6k a loss an arrow, then you finally get a kill using dragon bolts killing someone in full rune with whip losing around 20 d bolts (20*5000 = 100K) you see the drop :O and what is it?? A BLOODY DDS

the bounty hunter is no better its full of one spec nerds they come in waste specs run out, then run back in 30 seconds later, they need to change bounty hunter to something where u cant leave for 2 mins after entering, that would make bounty hunter epic.


its pretty much impossible to make profit pking really, and im 95 range 91 mage etc and have been around for a while so i know what im talking about :P

[Im A Fatty10]

I think PVP is more profitable, because the rare drops, (d chain, DFS...)

[deathcode]

PvP can be very profitable if you know how to use the system Jagex put in place, but if you're like most people and a simple pker, then BH will get you a lot more.

[Sefket]

Have to go with PvPing. In Bounty Hunter its very hard to tank with low defence and if you just walk around you get speced by one itemers. It's very devastating.

[Syncro]

I would say Bounty Hunter is more profitable. There are Single Itemers in both, but on a PvP world, you don't know what your going to get, you could use up a full inventory of sharks, managing to smite out someone with a Bandos Godsword and end up with a Rune Platebody. In Bounty Hunter, you know pretty much what you'll recieve if you win the fight, so you don't waste food by killing someone who has fairly cheap armour on.

Player vs Player is potentially much more profitable than Bounty Hunter for the average PKer. Those who frequently PK with their clans in BH are much more prone to generating higher amounts of profits, as there are an abundance of individuals transferring items these days. For the most part, I'd say the PVP worlds allow an equal opportunity for all players to potentially gain a rare item (e.g - DFH, DFS, etc), as opposed to the BH which favors those who PK with clans more.

Realistically, both are ideal for profit.

[RelishMan]

Bounty Hunter is much more profitable. PVP is a major let down as drops are concerned. I dislike the fact that in PvP you don't get the player's drops and you get some other item. For example, if you are fighting someone with a rune scimmy and full rune in Bounty Hunter, you can expect to get full rune if you kill him. If you fight the same guy in PvP, you don't know what the heck you will get in return. I prefer to know what reward I'm risking this for.

[lil slic3]

Bh sadly, but PvP is alot more fun if you dont care about making a profit.

[N Lafetra]

Anything is better than Bounty Hunter.

I old school PKed for the fun of it. The profit was just a nice little bonus. So I'm relatively happy.
