[thegreatwha]

 

Just what it says folks. 

My computer is just waking up, but here's the link below.

Max Cash update Info:

Max Cash Increase
Carry and trade more Gold than ever before!

It's time to liquidate those Spirit Shards, folks… With today’s update, you’re no longer limited to trading up to 2.147 billion Gold. You can now trade up to 2.147 quintillion Gold.

Which is literally a billion times more. Money, honey!

Here are your stratospheric new max cash limits:

Amount	Usage
2,147,483,647	Live max
53,687,091,175	Max stack of Spirit Shards value
268,435,455,875,000	Max stack of Spirit Shard Packs value
2,147,483,649,147,483,647	New max

These are big changes: we wanted to use a graph to explain it visually, but the new max just eclipses everything before it! The simple headline is that a single player could now hold the current total wealth of the entire game in their Pouch - several hundreds of times over.

What does this all mean for you, a go-getting Gielinor billionaire? Well, gone are the days of having to worry about purchasing enough Spirit Shards to contain your massive wealth, since your Pouch will now hold up to this new maximum amount (just as well those coins don't weigh anything, huh). You can also buy or sell highly valued items without needing to chase down the other player, because it can all be handled via the Grand Exchange. If you actually prefer trading player-to-player, of course, that’s fine too! The trade window also reaches the new maximum.

What doesn't change is your Inventory and Bank. You won't be able to hold 2,147 quintillion Shards in them, but hey, that shouldn't hold you back too much since you can just carry it all around with you.

This update may seem simple on the surface, but numbers never are. There have certainly been plenty of technical hurdles on the journey to this point! As such, we will be closely monitoring all aspects of the update, to fine-tune any oddities and clear up any pitfalls.

Please note that in the interim we will not be manually editing any prices, but rather monitoring the mid-price of max integer items like Party Hats - then if a stable price emerges we can look to update them accordingly.

So what are your thoughts on this whole "New Max Cash" update?

[UnrealDream]

I never hit max cash ever at one time...so not important to me. The teleporting anywhere in the wilderness though I was just thinking the other day how it didn't make sense to not be able to tp out anymore since it's non dangerous

[Devin]

Yikes.

[Axhowler]

Can't say the new max cash stack will ever be useful for me but I love the new colours they've added! 

[Fedal]

One of the best updates of the year for sure.

[Sirsir]

The Max Cash update does not affect me in the slightest, but I'm glad for its beneficial effects on the trading of rares and the economy.  

 

This is a great patch week, to be sure! I'll especially enjoy the teleportation restrictions being lifted when not skulled in Wildy, 

[God Jamot]

I think its just going to let the rich get richer

but I think it makes sense to finally include actual value for the entirety of the games economy

 

wildy teles, blessed flask fill, & god book page fills for a MAJOR W for sure!

 

& I imagine iron mans are going to love the ability sharing  

[Rafi]

They've been trying to tackle the cash stack technical issue for years and years. Finally did it. As others have said, it won't effect me, but it will be a major QOL improvement for the wealthy wealthy amongst us. 

[X5-452]

So glad to be done with w2 trading!
