An old school bond is an item that allows a player to use their account to pay for membership in both Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3. Bonds can be bought with real-world money from Jagex and redeemed in-game for membership or swapped with other players for coins or stuff, allowing players to buy membership with in-game items or (indirectly) in-game items.
A newly acquired bond can be swapped with another player, sold on the Grand Exchange, or “donated” to another player for free – Ironman players are unable to give ties to other players, but they are able to accept bonds given to them by others. When a bond’s ownership changes, however, it becomes untradeable, as shown by the absence of the green gem in the center of the bond’s inventory icon. To re-trade the bond, the owner must pay a fee equal to 10% of the bond’s Grand Exchange value (currently $1,500).
What do old school bonds entail?
Old School Bonds are in-game commodities that can be traded with other players and redeemed for membership, allowing you to support your Old School adventures with in-game money. Bonds can also be used to skip the name change cooldown.
They can be traded directly between players or for gold on the Grand Exchange!
Additionally, when you redeem your Old School Bonds, you will have access to all of RuneScape’s premium members-only content, in addition to your Old School membership!
What is the value of a bond membership?
Bonds can be redeemed for one of the following at any time, whether they are tradeable or not: 14-day membership for one bond. For two bonds, it takes 29 days (1 day extra compared to 2 bonds redeemed separately)
What is the duration of a bond?
Almost all licensing bonds are valid for 12 months and must be renewed after that. If they are not renewed, the bond becomes inactive, and the State or Federal agency that provided your professional license will usually cancel it. Working without a license is against the law and has severe consequences, thus it’s critical to renew your licensing bond on time.
What is the procedure for obtaining a bond?
- Individual investors purchase bonds directly with the intention of holding them until they mature and profiting from the interest. They can also invest in a bond mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund that invests in bonds (ETF).
- A secondary market for bonds, where previous issues are acquired and sold at a discount to their face value, is dominated by professional bond dealers. The size of the discount is determined in part by the number of payments due before the bond matures. However, its price is also a bet on interest rate direction. Existing bonds may be worth a little more if a trader believes interest rates on new bond issues will be lower.
What is the procedure for transferring bonds to Old School RuneScape?
Please redeem your Bonds for membership in Old School RuneScape. The membership will then be removed, and the Bonds will be added to the right account. If the Bonds have not been redeemed, we will be unable to transfer them. Please ensure that your Bonds for membership have been redeemed.
Can F2P participants swap items?
If a member’s item provides defense or attack bonuses, it loses those bonuses and becomes dead weight. Weapons that are handled in a specific way or have special animations that affect on the player model will not work, and regardless of the weapon equipped, all weapons will be held in a generic manner—similar to a basic sword.
Despite having the “drop” option, destructible items like the Barrelchest anchor will still display a prompt asking if you want to destroy the item and will behave accordingly. Objects belonging to trade members cannot be dropped. If they remain on the ground for too long, they will just vanish.
In a Free-to-play environment, if you drop a members object, it will disappear after 3 minutes instead of the usual 2.
