stonewall337 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 With the advent of new dragon drops, such as the dragon medium helm, dragon spear, and shield left half, a new reason to kill certain monsters was on. I remember reading guides telling that one of the reasons that earth warriors were decent to train on was the fact that they had the chance to drop the shield left half. These drops were worth quite a bit. However, most of these items are now under 100k, most selling at or barely above max. Does anyone else think that we need some "very" rare drops added to the drop table of a wide variety of monsters? I'm not talking about rare like effigies, but more rare like an abby head, or 1 in thousands of a chance to drop. Nothing game changing, but a drop which, at bosses or slayer, would make so go "Heck YES!!!!!!" instead of "FML D spear..." Other "rare" drops which could be replaced or upgraded would be 100 silver ore, 150 steel arrows, R2H, 42 Rune arrows, 67 nats, and 45 laws.

stonewall337 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 A possibility, however I think most people believe the DWH should be a boss or slayer drop.

Obtaurian Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Lol@ you and Iowc impersonating each other. Personally, I'm happy with effigies as a rare drop. I know you're arguing for something more than that, but I like effigies just fine. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonewall337 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Its more about turning drops which are "FML" now into "WOOOO!" Then anything. And effigies aren't rare enough. It would be something more common then visage, but far rarer then a whip for instance. [hide=Drops]Araxxor Eye x1 Leg pieces x2GWD: 5000 Addy bar Steam B Staff x3 Z Spear x6 Sara.

la la la Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Like the d chain from dusties? We would just find the monster most efficient to kill for this new rare drop, and it would be a grindfest, camping it until you could manage to get really lucky. It seems like most recent updates have revolved around luck somewhat (distractions and diversions every other week), so I would like something a little more constant to throw in there. Maybe a runecrafting update? Or construction? In other news, I soloed an effigy from bandos today. Not particularly fun to see when you are dying for something a bit more substantial.

Wantmyar Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Why would one of those drops be "fml"? Better than a coin drop. C(21)H(30)O(2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeor Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Why would one of those drops be "fml"? Better than a coin drop.It's because your drop roulette happened to land on a reeeeeally tiny tile, but that tile just wasn't the awesome drop you wanted. You're essentially lucky in regards to raw probability, but it's unfortunate because having that amount of luck but with a different tile would have made you rich :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly_Wizard Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Slightly off-topic, but the fact that a shield left half is still a "very rare drop" annoys the hell out of me, because it's more or less useless. Way back when, getting a shield left half was a big deal. Now, it's about as exciting as seeing a half key, and worth just about as much. Either Jagex should make them much more common, or they need to go back to the proverbial drawing board and do something with them that makes them not useless. The same for d-meds, though I feel that ship has long since sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield half from a level 8 cave crawler = unfortunate? oh noes :rolleyes: The main issue is that some of us think that drops of a certain rarity should be worth the luck required to get them. A shield half from a monster nowadays isn't as exciting as it was five years ago. The drops were released as extremely awesome and expensive items that you could rarely get, and now they're cool drops to get. Nowadays the only ultra-rare-omg-i'm-rich item left is the visage. We want to see items like the spear and the shield half that get more than just an, "oh, that's cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91soldin91 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I feel like this is yet another "broken" part of the game that Jagex failed to address in their improvement of existing content year. Their are so many parts of this game that need to be updated to bring them up to speed with the modern game. D spears and left halfs are a perfect example of this (along with the KQ, chaos elemental, unfinished quest series, etc.) I know exactly what your talking about though, the idea that besides exp and the average drops theres that slight chance of getting something really good/valuable. Its one of the reasons I loved training at armored zombies before I got my champions scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotto Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I never even had a shield half drop with all melees + range + slayer as a 99 skill. They could therefore easily upgrade this rare drop to something really valuable as far as I am concerned. It's not that it will be likely that I will ever get it as a drop anyway.

We would just find the monster most efficient to kill for this new rare drop, and it would be a grindfest, camping it until you could manage to get really lucky. I agree with this. It's too late to make the current drops something rare.Possibility would be a drop which has a 1/million chance, which would still give quite some drops per day (assuming several million creatures get killed every day) or a drop of which only three or something drop per day at random times.
