Sink (economy)

Money Sinks

Money sinks are ways for the creators of the game to remove in-game items and money from the system. It's the complete opposite of all productive action. This is usually done to prevent inflation, and to keep the price of items high.

Examples of Money Sinks include: Construction (ridiculous amounts of money must be spent on items such as gold leaf at shops, and are are not attainable any other way]] Prayer (bones are removed from the game when buried]] Firemaking Magic (excluding enchantment, alchemy, etc.) Summoning (ingredients for making familiars/pouches must be bought for from Summoning shops at some point]].
