Atom Smash40 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 check this out: now, i know corrupted drag med helm isnt worth more than d med, especially since it "dies" after 30min of WEARING (not even combat). i also took a look at the other PVP items, and most of them rose (none as much as the d med, but the chain did rise 150k). can anyone shed light on what is going on? what makes non-member dragon gear (med mainly, but all the drag weaps too) more valuable than the "real deal"? weaps i can see, because theyre better than rune, but the d med is terrible, and pointless since it only lasts 30min, in my opinion. ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999134 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 all corrupt items are stupid chain is the only item which isnt 2x(or much more) more than normal dragon that med is 20times (?) the price of a p2p med i know its f2p but does anyone want to pay 1.7mil for that d med rune full helm 0 0 0 -6 -2 30 32 27 -1 30 7 0 0 and 20kish corrupt med 0 0 0 -3 -1 +33 +35 +32 -1 +34 0 0 and 1.7milish med lasts 15mins and then is gone forever :wall: on average it is a +3 defense bonus, this is a warrior ring at the price of a zerker ring which lasts 15mins :lol: #-o the only use i could see for any corrupt dragon is the dba for a ko move and that will last a while as you only use it a bit Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoolj Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Its a mistake - almost all other corrupt items rose 10%, and I'm sure the med should be too. If you get one, sell it now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legilgalad2 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It's still 'new' at the moment and a novelty so people are buying them. Or maybe people think they degrade after 30 mins of combat so richer F2per's are probably buying the helm to show off to lower level players. They'll soon realise the mistake... Woodcutting does not raise your combat level because most people do not play as yew trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Kind of annoying how there is a thread about every rise, but this was just insane. A 1000% rise in 1 day?

totalpwnage Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 That's weird. I understand if things like the battleaxe and the scim go up a lot -- but dmed doing this? +1.2m?!? This HAS to be either Jagex or a glitch. And if it was Jagex -- why not all corrupt dragon? EDIT: lol 250th post o.o Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x.

tintin113 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Either Jagex has tried to manually change an item's price on the GE, or there's some sort of glitch or mistake.

Something's just not right. you remember the granite [bleep]e? even though that was obviously jagex's doing, that was insane, but dumb cuz granite is pointless (chunks anyways) and it is now worthless, and even though i think corrupt items are dumb too, the med wont go lower than reg d med. ~ 3,072nd to 99 Mining on August 30th, 2009 ~~ 112,084th to 99 Magic on April 16th, 2011 ~~ 131,681st to 99 Crafting on March 29, 2019 ~~ 178,385th to 99 Prayer on April 2, 2019 ~~ 234,921st to 99 Defence on May 9, 2019 ~~ 173,480th to 99 Herblore on June 21, 2019 ~~ 155,160th to 99 Smithing on July 16, 2019 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just a control they build in; seeing as Granite (5kg) can be made into 10 peices of Granite (500g) now, they just put it up to 10 times the price of it.

(other then maybe the weapons) People who don't know these items will degrade (and merchanters of course). And I'm serious! On topic: It was probably a typo while Jagex wanted to set up some prices.

ladycai Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Wow, it has to be some kinda error.

ElChris Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Wow, it has to be some kinda error. What player would buy a 15-min helm for 1.4m? Mabe someone who doesn't care about money (people with over 500M maybe). But a average +3 difference is useless. Corrupt dragon items should be less worth then the originals (except the weapons). I am sure jagex had their hands in there. I wanted to buy a CD-scimmy once, and didn't got it, but I offered the highest price for 3 days. So, there aren't even enough CD-items around to rize the price to that high. I am sure the price for the CD-armour-parts will fall down once rapitly.

Mylez Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 This is why the G.E is something of an epic fail, and the reason why junk trading exists. Currupt Dragon armor is useless, completely.

Hajutze Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 why do ppl still comment it when its obvius - its a glitch , and they wanted to make it 160 which is 10 per use , you can try commenting that insead of saying [cabbage] like - 1.6 mil is too much , no one will buy it , 100 k per minute is too much and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Kind of annoying how there is a thread about every rise, but this was just insane. A 1000% rise in 1 day? Something's just not right. It's a bug in my book also. Corrupted dragon has appeal simply because it's f2p. Why are trimmed armor sets worth so much more than rune/addy/black sets? Simply because they are f2p, therefore there is tremendous demand, and very very little supply. ~It's Super Effective!

Ravenkana Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Maybe Jagex wanted to make PKing slightly more profitable and made a mistake? If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare?
