    I haven't heard of any upcoming war :S I kinda hope there is one coming up, it's so easy to make neopoints off of inflation xD

    I haven't heard anything about -said- war either, and I scan the neoboards quite frequently. However, if there is one up and coming (which would be great since the altador cup is over and all) I do believe that it would inflate a lot of items.

    If you can wait for a while, I'd say items (books, weapons, ...) with rarity 101 or 180 are a good investment. But of course, I can sometimes take years for them to increase in value.

    Best items to stock up during the war are common, but good weapons. I remember one year I made a bunch off leaf shields/honey potions and greater healing scrolls ^^

    Just be careful when stocking weapons, make sure they're ones that will actually rise in price (I think lost desert dagger was a good one to stock up on) and also if there isn't a war coming up, you may have a lot of neopoints invested in weapons that can't even be used ;(

    Yeah I've done good with war inflation in the past, but Haven't heard of any coming. never to early to stock up though. Scarab ring usually at least double in price, so I always buy a bunch when the R cheap

    I would also stock up on healing potions (healing potion X, Super Strength Healing Potion) etc. Another thing to stock up on is codestones and dubloons. They can get pretty expensive when there's a war going on.
    I guess people would only buy all these things to get extra points for their trophy. Because they spend hundreds of thousands of neopoints which don't get covered by the prizes they win at the end.

    The war might just be a rumor. But personally I love inflations, I keep at least 5-6 HPs in my SDB. They tend to inflate most in wars. They normally go from 800k to 1.1-1.2mil.
