gibsocam Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 has anyone noticed this in the past few (hundred) updates. There has been a shift to a newer much more powerful and elite equipment. It used to be Barrows, crystal sheild, and a wep was the best and nobody argued. Now the the best of the best has hit a new best (lots of best) the new ulitmate armor seems to be dragonfire shield, godsword, and 3rd age armor (dhelm, I didnt look at that) before barrows it was dragon, before dragon it was rune. Does anyone think this will continue up until jagex nerfs the entire system (ok, this weeks update. all stats will now be /10, have fun!) And, also. Does anyone think the price of dragon will continue down to the point that is as common as rune, and the 3rd age goes down to the point of dragon. More random thoughts I had while killing lessers today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinoking Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well of course. Tons of people wanted high level updates and Jagex is giving what their customers want. I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon_lord Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Yes, well they have to add something more powerful than something else when necessary so that they can keep players, more notably the veteran ones, interested. Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.

KingdomOfLight Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Dragon can't get as common as rune as it can't be smithed and is not dropped as often. There are also still dragon updates (such as the boots). I wish there were updates on existing abandoned places such as Isafdar. The empty city Prifddinas could be finally finished). I'm getting a bit sick of dungeons... RSN: Kingdom196. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runescapeloser22 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Third Age and Dragon will never drop so dramatically in price, Rune is extremely common because the whole set is easily obtained from smithing and common monster drops. Dragon is a really rare drop from high level monsters which is why the prices don't drop too dramatically and fast. Third Age is an extremely rare reward from level 3 clues. Which makes it so theres very little entering the game + economy. But it will become less common among people (less people wearing it) because better and cheaper items will be made.

Goobore Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 ... There has been a shift to a newer much more powerful and elite equipment.... Most online games eventually suffer from this "gear inflation". Players want better rewards as they level up and become more capable. If the game developer didn't set higher goals then the game would die as players max out, get bored, and quit. ...Does anyone think this will continue up until jagex nerfs the entire system... My bet is that Jagex will raise the Hit Point cap from 99 to ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy87 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well of course. Tons of people wanted high level updates and Jagex is giving what their customers want. i havent seen high level stuff yet. i guess id consider people with half the exp in meleee stats a "high" level warrior. lvl 92 in melee stats. and then i figure, 60 prayer to top that off is relevant. so 113 combat i would figure is the normal persons high lvl. and 80ish for skills like smithing.

cynder Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 It's true that dragon drops are rare and that it's far easier to make rune. But after awhile dragon will become more and more avaiable just because its been out for awhile. And I bet the price will continue to go down... @peterfisher~ Proud member of Mystic Chaos~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xav400 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I am posting this for a friend, which reasons I probably shouldn't say. Quote from TexasMd91 Quote from Runescapeloser22 Third Age and Dragon will never drop so dramatically in price, Rune is extremely common because the whole set is easily obtained from smithing and common monster drops.

Yes but you forgot the fact that the armor is rarely taken out of the economy, When ever you get pked with rune, theres another guy to pick it up. Or if you quit rs, you probably might sell it/give it. So therefor, there is a MUCH higher number of rune entering the game then leaving. So therefor the price will lower, Same with dragon and 3rd age. How ever for these it will take MUCH more time, but it WILL continue to get cheaper and cheaper and some day dragon will cost 200k for a full set of dragon. However it wont be any different from now, cause it will be this generation's rune. which by then they will introduce loads of better armor, and the next best armor will be equlivant to this age's 3a.

Tbfgraphx14 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think this is the end of the line. Jagex will not release this much high level equipment again probably. Atleast this means cheaper equipment for the cheap people like me 8-) Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are always more players comming into the game. The number or rune sets comming into the economy is about equal to the number of players wanting rune sets.

I'm sure there will 1 day be a lvl 99 defence armour Technically I think the def cape can be considered a 99 defense armor. I also believe that it all depends on HOW the item enters. Dragon only comes from drops, so the price control will go down, but very steadily. ~It's Super Effective!
