dragon boots drop rate (finnaly) nerfed ???!!

[chc05dude]

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.

[doomy]

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

 

 

 

It makes sense really.

[Lime_Mercury]

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:

[Codguy]

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.

[aznmidget448]

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...

[Silentone64]

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

[daigotsu]

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.

[aj926]

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

[Star_Fox]

double post. lag ftl.

[andylax38]

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.

[Jabuli]

!! 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.

[chenw]

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.

[Harrington]

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?

[aglips]

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.
