Maybe because they're not that great:

 

 

 

Dragon boots:

 

 

 

+ 0 + 0 + 0 - 3 - 1 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0

 

 

 

Rune boots:

 

 

 

+ 0 + 0 + 0 - 3 - 1 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0

 

 

 

And rune boots look better!

These are my statements:

 

- Dragon boots are a must have item. These will keep them at like 1m for a long time.

 

- They finnaly let lower lvl slayers reap some rewards from their slaying.

 

- They had to put them in with this update so that there was something to see from it right away, god sword armour pieces and swords are still super rare.

 

 

 

I love this update!!

I bought a pair of dragon boots for 1 mil yesterday and then sold them 5 minutes later for 2.5mil.

 

 

 

They will definately drop down to 300k easily. Then I will buy a pair to keep and not merchant.

 

 

 

I love inflation, I make millions....

Look at Zot, he got 11 pairs yesterday...

They seem to follow the armoured boots drop rate. I get, on average, 2 addy boots per Gargoyle task. The same goes for all the other armoured boots dropping monsters. I have yet to get a Nech task (already 81 Slayer :P ) but from my high level friends I have heard that they always get a pair or 2 per task.

A Jagex Mod posted on a thread on the RSOF saying they will reduce the drop rate monday :wink:

Yeah some of my friends are kinda pissed they spent 1 mil+ because it's not that much of difference and the look of it is wierd according to them. Oh well if it hits 500k. I'll buy just because it's dragon.

Well after thinking about it a bit I think this is another one of JAGeX's way of killing off Pures. Think about it, Dragon Boots as common as Rune, cheap, everyone over 60 Defence using them? Pures won't stand a chance.

 

What is it with you and a personal vendetta against Jagex and accusing them of trying to kill off pures? Honestly, seems like any good weapon for an all around player is an excuse for you to bash Jagex for not satisfying pures.

 

Face it, they are.

 

 

 

Defenders, RFD Gloves, Torsos, 60 and 70 Prayers. They are trying to reward defence to the point that Pures can't stand up against them.

Jagex caters to the majority, pures are in the minority thats all that needs to be said on this topic.

I like good items being lower in price. Do I like paying 20m for a dfs? no, would I still want it if it where 1m? yes.

 

 

 

The cheaper, the better, except for rares and 3rd age.

Well Don't expect the Dfs to hit below 3 million.

 

 

 

You either pay Oziach or make the shield yourself. That makes it more than 3 million right there :

 

 

 

Anyways I might try for some boots over the weekend \

They did this with dragon legs, albeit, probly not as high a drop rate as this boots. It's to get lots of the boots into the game, then, after a month or so, they'll quietly nerf it.

 

 

 

well best get myself a pair before that happens. my friends have like 5 sets and i have 0 because im only 40 slayer :XD:

 

 

 

and well said 123Yourgone.

8hrs at spiritual mages no drops :(

 

 

 

could have gotten 1 or maybe even 2 whips if i was super lucky in this time.

 

 

 

Dark beasts are too dangerous so i don't go there.

 

 

 

i make a steady 200k-300k an hour slaying so no its nothing compared to RC

Killed 412 yesterday (about 160 were a slayer task) got 1 drop.

 

Today, got a task of 177, got 3 boots (not finished yet) :D

 

 

 

But my friend got 7 pairs yesterday o.o

 

I'd say they're more common than rune boots.

Selling for 800K-a rare 1M now in w2. Some people buying for 650K.

 

 

 

Looks like I'm buying mine soon I'm just waiting for them to hit rock bottom :P

No, they are just actually making defense useful to train. The value of a pure was the fact that defense didn't add to much to combat, compared to their higher hits. Jagex responds by creating a reason to level up defense. They are trying to make it so that no single style of fighting is ALWAYS better than any other. Without the recent additions, pures would nearly always win someone (of their or similar combat level) in a fight, because the defense took away from possible attack/strength and added virtually nothing. But now there are boots and prayers and other armors that give defense the reason to exist :)

To get some flowing into the economy, they can always nerf the drop rate later.

 

 

 

I think by the time they nerf the drop rate, they'll already be enough pairs in the game to keep the price at the most 1mil, probably less.

I'm sure he charges you 1.2m to make Anti-drag shield into DFS

I think Jagex will lower the drop rate, or Rune boots will eventually cost more than dragon boots :ohnoes:

if they get to 400k, I'm seling my stuff to buy some.

They seem to follow the armoured boots drop rate. I get, on average, 2 addy boots per Gargoyle task. The same goes for all the other armoured boots dropping monsters.

I just love it when people claim drop rates as a fact. Nobody ALWAYS get a pair or 2 rune boots per task. NOBODY. It's all random. There are times that I get 0 rune boots per task, sometimes 1 pair, sometimes 2, somtimes more but NEVER ALWAYS a pair or 2 per task. Drops are all random.

 

 

 

I got 4 D Boots the first day after 2 hours then yesterday I got 0 after 5 hours.

I think the fact that (reportedly, I'm not sure about this) all the 'spiritual' monsters drop it has a major affect as well. That's a slayer level of 63 required - lower than that required for rune boots and thus easier for more people to get.

 

 

 

nope, says in the KB that only the mages drop it, meaning slayer lvl of 83 is required

Correct. Only the Spiritual mages from the D boots.

killed about 800 spiritual mages for 13 dragon boots. love this update i made so much $ \

 

the boots are really common and the mages are really easy to kill since they dont have much defence

Im getting a pair from a mate for currently 500k, but if they keep on dropping he may be nice enough to give me a pair for 250-300k : :thumbsup:
