Zoov Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Why are these what make up the main cost of the sets and what causes this to happen? Now when I want to buy a full set I can't because everyone is buying the helms by themselves for investment value.

Georgelemmons Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Most likely just because they have a much lower drop rate into the barrows chest. Less supply means higher prices. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampbellMC Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Most likely just because they have a much lower drop rate into the barrows chest. Less supply means higher prices. Actually they have the exact same drop rate according to Jagex. The reason for the price difference is because of the piece you lose on death. Some examples: Guthan's -> Lose Spear + Helm (Assuming you have a whip with you) -> Guthan's Helm + Spear make up the cost. Dharok's -> Lose Helm if using full set -> Helm is worth 4.6M/5.6M. Ahrim's -> Lose bottom if skulled with top + bottom -> bottom is worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Diddy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 People pking in PvP, along with regular deaths + the "panic" that helms are extremely rare make them a good candidate for merch clans. Btw all barrow items have equal chance of being gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
