Silver_Corner Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Dragon Shield Left Half: High Alch - 66000 gp Thats 66k profit. So you cant said theres no value to it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The right half alone in the Legend guild shop is 750k, so he is saying that if you get a left half drop you make no profit since the whole shield is 750k anyway Lol so if I get a left half as a drop, I should just leave it on the ground, since it's literally worth nothing anyway. :lol: But pretty much everyone will pick it up anyway. Really strange... I remember when dragon squares were worth 5.5m. :( No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had one for a long long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenjkered Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Personally I think d sq is great for barrows, as it gives good defence bonuses and only a - 4 magic minus bonus.

SwreeTak Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Maybe people are just trying to buy at a price which isn't the current one, but a one that they try to buy for because they want to earn some easy money?

Dragontotem Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 people need to understand that the more people gain high levels and play, the more people will be killing monsters that drop rare stuff, which causes more 'rare' stuff going around which results prices going down [/url]">[4Th in Finland to achieve 99 mining. 3Rd of June 2007]Pixels make me horny.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the price jump and drop a few k constantly now it's seemingly worth alk'ing half shield drops...

hahahakilol Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The reason it's become really, really cheap, is because there is a shield with better defensive stats, a spec and 7 strength bonus and a shield giving attack bonuses and strength bonus. Left half might be rarer, but alot of monsters drop it, instead of the visage, which only the dragons drop. ..Just my luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrington Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Agreed. I managed to sell mine for 775k. So basically a 25k profit for one of the rarest drops in the game. Pretty disappointed about that. Maybe Jagex should discontinue the item... it'll shoot up in price then lol. Yeah, like that'd happen eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharane Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 And to think this was the most coveted and most expensive item on Runescape... Ah well, times change and people get greedier. :P "300 programmers make their futile but glorious last stand against 1000000 angry players in The battle of Misthalin. They fight for honor, glory and new content sacrificing themselves so that their game may live on. This is Madness! This Is JAGEEEX!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brontay Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah I've noticed the steep drop in D Squares too, realistically they should have made the D SQ the shield that you attach a Visage to, it would have saved the prices of the half and also would have restored a bit of its glory. Because now no one does Legends for the shield that 'was'. Obsidian Shield is better at the moment, +5 strength in exchange for a little defence.

Doryphore Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 i have never have gotena left half but i know they are rare drops, i also know that lvl 20 monsters drop them so why r they so expencive and remember slaughter is just laughter with a "s" in front of it.=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatebringer Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I got 2 in my bank, and they are impossible to sell, as well as now being worth under 200k, and they are probably one of the least common dragon drop out there. 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemis_42 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I agree that its a bit sad that the Dragon Square Shield and its peices have come down to this. Personally, I think that the Draconic Visage should've been added to the Dragon Square in order to turn it into the Dragon Kite, while having all of the Dragonfire Shields current properties.

limdogs Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 just because people are buying them for that does not mean people will sell them for that, i could go and say buying blue phat 4mil.....doesnt mean the price has gone down Like he said. The actual price is about 1mil for the shield. Still, that isnt very much for such a rare drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal_55 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 i believe at one point d squares cost 22m each, i cant remember clearly, but i do remember buying one for 14m, i think it was in 2004 or 2005. dragon is obsolete, we have barrows, third age, bandos, dragonfire shields, defenders, and, ironically, the best of this armour (barrows) is the cheapest. this is runescape we're talking about, it never made sense. :wink: nudist hippy vegan elves who inexplicably wear leather.

hybrid2hell Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 So technically, left halfs are still worth something? They have just dropped in price I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordkrohn1626 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 got my second half shield last nite off of abbies. Made it into a square and threw it into bank. Looks pretty with my full drag when slaughtering trees, but thats about all its good for as I prefer str stat boosting items. Off topic: got d legs from steel on slayer task, and d skirt from irons the next task all yesterday. So in one day slaying, over 6 tasks, got three drag drops *huggz slayer*. woot :XD: backon topic, I did sell my last square, back when they were like 1.8 mil, this one, i'll just keep for posing purposes :roll: sad that as rare of a drop as these are....they are worthless. Be nice if they upgraded them by just adding +5 str bonus to them. Make them an item to have, good def and same str bonus as Tz-haar shield and so easy to get rune defender. Now that would make sense. Maybe I'll suggest it to Jagex on official site RS name: lord krohn Combat 138slayer specific: 103 whips, 38 dark bows and 250+ dragon boots dropped to date.Dragon drops: 5 Half shields, 21 drag legs, 8 dragon skirts, and 9 drag meds dropped to date.
