Who Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well, I could give you scientific proof that the teeth part of the half keys have little supply, which would result in you reading a gigantic post. But...I rather just cut to the chase. I'm sure this has been posted before, but lets expand on this issue. Ever since the Gnome Delivery Service mini game came out, tere has been a huge increase in the Loop half key circulation. Yes this was a couple of months ago, but it still affects us. Though I don't play this game (ever), my recent 8 half key drops/random events have been loop. I'm not spreading rumors, because this is fact. Look at your bank if you don't believe me, most of us will have more loops then teeth parts. What does this have to do with now? Well...Recently with all the jewelery update, Dragonstones have been little of supply. What makes it worse is the new Crossbow update. Rune bolts only use Dragonstone and Onyx tips, and the former is much better then the latter. I'm posting this because It's been on my mind for some time now, and I want to see if anyone else has noticed this half key imbalance...

Zuit Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 for years the only half keys i got were loops but in the last 2 months the only part i am getting are teath which really help my bank balance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastForce Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Weird... I have more teeth than loops in my bank. But from what I saw in W2, tooth half key prices tend to be 5 - 10k higher than loops. Road To Trimmed Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuuka Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 hmmm you got the loop thing right.... i just looked in my bank and i got 26 loops and no teeth :-k i wonder what the jagex towers think og this :anxious: Played since February 200113th to 30 huntingfiremaking cape achieved 6th August 2008_-_-_-_Quest cape achieved 19th August 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I always get a lot more teeth halves. My bank is always full of extras, rarely get loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Skill Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I've seen this too. The majority of my half key drops, probably somewhere around 65%(CBA to get exact calculations) have been loop halves. And FastForce is right that the tooth half keys are generally a bit more expensive than the loop halves. Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rareghoul1 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 it is weird, but ask jagex about this and they will either not respond or say the probability is the same. i got 2 teeths and 1 loop from randoms in oone day, bought another loop to complete it. it is strange, but the probability is the same.... unless it changes from monster to monster, and the monsters that drop teeth more often aren't fought as much. those are my theories.

KingJD Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 i've got 8 loops and 0 teeth in my bank.. i rarely ever get a teeth half.. but i get loops at a decent clip.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven6666 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Until about 5 months ago, almost all halves I received were teeth halves, now I only seem to get 1 Teeth half per 3 Loops. Might go back training at my old spots when my Def was at the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrun Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 i think the shortage of teeth is from players not realizing the drop and ignoring it on the ground. They are hard as hell to see, crossbow bolts have a similar problem. One of my first half key teeth drops was one that someone overlooked in chaos druids at Taverly Dungeon. Barrows Drops: Guthan's platelegs and War Spear, Dharok's plate body and Great Axe, Verac's Flail, Verac's Helm x 2, Ahrim's top, Dharok's plate legs Dragon Drops: Medium Helm x 4, Shield Left Half, plate legs x 2, skirt x 2.

bpk_wolfen Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 "Buying all half keys!" yes i type that in world 2 every so often.... about 75% are loop halfs... so i pay 15k for loops and 35k for teeth. ya there is a shortage im guessing 99 Fletching 99 Cooking 99 Thieving 99 herbloree 99 magic 99 crafting 99 smithing 99 attack 99 strength 99 defence 99 hitpoints99woodcutting 99mining 99 fishing 99 firemaking 99 hunter 99 prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicrune007 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well i think that depends on what monster we are fighting.

atestarossa Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 well.. i have about 12 loops in bank atm... since the gnome update, i've gotten only 2 teeth halfes = / known this for a long time... and it annoys me to see the people getting more teeths than loops... buying loops is pretty much cheaper than buying teeths =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpx Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 yeah...i still have 20 loops in the bank, and used to have 50+ before i bought some teeth halves...teeth keys are alot rarer than loop parts.
