Sir_Squab Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I dunno about your assertion that people won't be switching out DFS for dragon defenders. Rune defender vs DFS for Bandos solos are already pretty comparable if you're quick at banking and getting kc- when the dragon defender comes out it might give that extra kick that makes it definitively better. DFS is running out of things it's the best for, which is part of why it's dropping. In addition to the dragon defender coming out, we're still seeing delayed results of soul split coming out, which was the last nail in the coffin for defensive equipment in many scenarios. As fewer and fewer people find that they ever need non-passive healing, the trend is toward rune defenders over DFS and Bandos over barrows. The DFS's wild crash was a combination of factors, not simply a panic dump. Blessed spirit shield was already kind of a niche noob shield and much more affordable, so it simply doesn't have as far to fall. It's also a component of all the sigiled spirit shields (which still have their uses largely intact), which gives it some cushion. Well thought but if DFS is that outdated, then why it would rise back if everyone have no confidence on that goods?Besides like what I have said, people who have switched to defenders wont bother to have a DFS sitting idle in their bank which has a trend of dropping steadily since summer.The weirdest part is other 2hs such as godswords and claws have the same trend as DFS, which have a sharp drop earlier this week but swiftly recovering at 10% per day. +-10% is the max GE would allow for an single item, coincidence? I can't really back this up with anything, but it seems highly likely that you will need to beat a quest to equip it, and this quest will require a rune defender at some point. I can't just be a drop on it's own; quests and drops AREN'T mutually exclusive, you know. Seems like the easiest way to make sure you got the rune defender first. My guess is that the quest unlocks the ability to equip it and get one. I just hope I can get one lol. (By get, I mean that I'm able to kill whatever drops it or be able to afford it IF it's a drop.) What do you mean by arnt mutually exclusive? Rune plates is the obvious case, it requires dragonslayer yet can be smithed, bought for and loot from treasure chest.Dragon daggers is a boss drop in gwd as well i think. Er, by not mutually exclusive, I meant that wearing it could be the reward from a quest while getting the item is a drop from a monster or something. Do you know what mutually exclusive is? Means that having one means you can't have the other; like, for example, fishing gaunlets and goldsmithing gauntlets. If this is NOT the case then BOTH can happen. An example of this would be the rune plate.... *wurr* Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig.

Triquos Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I wanted to vote for both :( I think it'll come from a monster drop after completing a quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think that they will be dropped just like the other ones but will require a quest beforehand just to make it that more difficult to obtain. And yes, I doubt it would be tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
