I was getting about 1 pair in 100 kills

 

 

 

As of last night, I've been getting 1 pair in 300 kills.

 

 

 

Longest streak without a drop is about 475, as of last night.

 

 

 

I think it got nerfed.

I reckon jagex just waits till the drop gets to the price they want, and then nerf it.

 

 

 

It makes sense really.

I got 9 in the first 48 hours (averaging about 1 in what I assumed to be 96), but now I've been in a tailspin and not got one in my past 900 or so kills.

 

 

 

Nerffffffffffffffed :roll:

Or maybe it's just luck.

I agree, it makes perfect sense, they don't want D Boots to start at 10M first day.

I'm currently sitting at 5 pairs out of 800 mage kills; still have a couple prayer pots to use up, so I should get out of there around 900-950 kills. Hoping for one more boots. :D

 

 

 

1:100 was a pretty lucky early ratio, I think it averaged out to about 1:150-200 over time, and I don't believe the drop rate has been nerfed yet.

 

 

 

Of course if this is the long-term drop rate, then (1) I stand corrected and (2) I have found a much better place for "money" training than TzHaar.

They'd be 200k if the drops keep this rate, so most likely Jagex will want to decrease the drop rate.

i am currently on a spiritual rangers task but i couldn't resist the urge to spank some of the mages,killed about 120, no boots. though i must add i did found a pair sitting peacefully on the ground when i first arrived there yesterday :D (shaving on some1 else drop rate :wink: )

Lucky you. :wink:

I think 500k a pair is a good price, I myself enjoyed the panic attack sell-off of rune boots, I bought the two pairs I had never gotten around to getting.

 

 

 

I think Jagex Is doing a 3-part ner[bleep]e. First, they make them have a ton, for maybe 2 weeks. Then, they reduce the drop rate by half, for till the end of September. Then, the reduce it by half again, and in 2 weeks reduce it by half again. That's 1-in-800 drop rate, assuming they started with 1-in-100.

600-800k's probably a good amount. They probably want it to be around that so that only the people who work hard can get it... although I'm not sure if 800k's working hard...

Jagex keep the rate high the first week to get the items in the economy, so RS has a chance to enjoy the update, after a nice flow of the item surface, the drop rate decreases and the price stays the reasonable price...depending on skill needed to obtain the item. The boot rate has been decreases i assure u

The boot rate has been decreases i assure u

 

 

 

After I logged in again (see above post), boot drops at kill #824, #836, and #897 appear to put the lie to your statement.

Its just luck, I know someone the first day who got like 10s of boots.

i dont think dragon boots counts as a dragon drop. judging from the drop rate, i'd say it averages the same as boots from any other monsters. jagex probably wont nerf it at all. 700k for a pair sounds different though. :-k

double post. lag ftl.

I haven't noticed a difference in there drop rate. Got two pairs when getting the 40 kc for zammy just yesterday. It's just unlucky that it has taken you that long to get a pair lately. The day God Wars came out it took me over 250 kills to get my first pair when people I know had already had 10 + drops. It's just all luck.

!! they must've nerfed whips drop rate near to 0 because i have killed abyssal demons for 3,2m melee combat exp (att, str and def) and got 0 whips :|. Well atleast i got 5 whips before that.

I havent noticed anything either, i have had a 600 dry streak before i got my second pair ON the week they were released, and i did a few over the weekend, i got 4 pairs in 16 pies, then i got 1 pair. so it is just plain luck.

I don't know about the drop rates, but I've done about 50 slaying tasks since the update, and never have I been assigned those mages.... do I need to complete a quest or soemthing?

Based on my recent trips to the mages, I haven't seen any change in drop rate. I got 11 d boot drops on Thursday with 613 kills, 3 boots next day killing around 400 and got 5 d boots last night killing 347 spiritual mages. It's all random and luck.

 

 

 

I bring 12-14 P Pots(4) each time I go and stay there until my p pots run out unless my clan mates need me and I leave with some unused p pots. So far, it's been pretty fruitful for me.
