Lichking1 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I quit playing for a year, and I have recently come back. I was wondering alot why the price of Dragon chains went from 16 mill to 7, and why dragon loegs went from 2 mill to 600k? Is it because of drops?

3hitm4g3u Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Because they were the prices a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123_x_pac Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Cause of pvp, more people slaying, and the ge I think are some of the reasons. Alot of things have dropped in price.

No_99_Melee Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The supply went up over time. The demand went down because of better armor. The equilibrium price shifted downward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123neopet Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 From looking at the highscores of the two RSNs you have listed on your profile this won't matter, but Torag's is only 1 mil give or take and gives better defense. You do have to repair it, but you would have to log several days worth of combat for it to cost more than dragon. P2P forever!...

Zierro Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 supply and demand :thumbup: It's really not that shocking. Whips were worth the same as P Hats when they first came out because there was such a hype over them. Now the supply outweighs the demand, so they are worth way less than even Easter Eggs.

B_Ryan20 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I personally found it very odd that dragon set (chain, legs,helm) used to be like 18m where as torags was 1m yet torags was way better besides the fact that it degraded. Most people didnt realize this but now they do thus it dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walka92 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 supply and demand Supply and demand is a mechanism, not an explanation for a specific case like the dragon armours. Yes, it is. more dragon items come into the game every day, than are lost. and because there is better armour, like barrows and gwd armour, the demand for dragon has dropped hugely. so yes, supply and demand is an explanation for "a specific case like dragon" I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames227 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 A few years ago there was alot less dragon armour as it was new so less people had the chance to get it but now dragon armour is sitting in peoples banks and on the G.e unbought.

@Dan3HitU Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The reason the prices of those items go down is because they're "drops" from monsters, think about it; daily, a new set of dragon platelegs appear in the game, if not more.
