DFS Worth It?

[highlanders]

It's spelled isn't, not ain't.

 

There is inflation right now. The inflation will diminish if the wild vote goes through, but still more coin will be created than destroyed, and inflation will continue, just not as strong. Everything will go down in price long-term, everything. Does that mean you should sell your entire bank? No.

There is inflation right now.

 

do you know what inflation is? because runescape's economy is experience its exact polar opposite, deflation.

Are you dumb? The statuettes are here right now. Nothing has changed except people panicking.

rational expectations

 

if people know that in the future something is going to be worth half of what it was yesterday, they are only willing to pay less for it.

 

don't they teach this in macro 101 anymore?

 

also runescape has been experiencing stable-to-falling price levels for about 3 months before this free trade ordeal, definitely not inflation. here's a graph of a commodity, dragon bones, over the last 6 months:

 

if you want more evidence check out the following:

dragon claws

abyssal whip

avantoe

verac's skirt

 

edit: another reason not to get DFS - its price will fall

If inflation would continue, but not as strong, prices would rise, but not as strong. We are experiencing deflation. Correcting street language isn't going to change anything.

DFS: I find it useful for solo Bandos, but other than that i couldn't really find anywhere that dragon defender doesn't top it.

BGS: Helllllllllllllllllll no.

BCP: If you can't be arsed to get a torso and would rather waste a chunk of your bank, yes.

Tassets: Yes, just yes.

First of all, finally someone besides me realized that no one in this game knows what inflation is.

 

Secondly DFS is a waste of money. If you lack super antifires there are two scenarios you will encounter.

 

1. At dragons which hit high with melee (blacks and metal dragons) and higher you can pray melee, use a reg dragonfire shield and re antifire potions.

 

2. At dragons which don't hit high (blues and greens) you use a d defender, antifire potions and protect mage.

 

Both of those options are better than dropping 25 mil on a shield.

 

The only reason to ever buy this shield is if you plan on cannoning wyverns for crimsons and lack soul split/turmoil, a unicorn, and a chaotic maul which allows you to tank their damage.

 

If you're contemplating bcp/tassets invest in a berserker ring first. Same str bonus as bcp for a fraction of the cost. Skip bcp if you can get a fighter torso, tassets are decent if you don't have a fire cape but do have a soul wars cape as you wont need the prayer bonus you would normally be getting from verac's skirt for that slot.

 

But in all seriousness just invest that money into prayer or herblore. If its all your cash, invest into some flipping, get MTK and herb runs going, and do your dailies. You won't regret it.

 

And don't get a bgs, ever.

Alright, thanks guys. I'm not going to get a DFS or a BGS, but I already have a BCP and Tassets, just wanted to see some people's opinions on them. I'm going to be making a new thread with some more questions.

 

Thanks again!

 

Oh, and since you guys have kinda just started arguing, I'm going to ask a mod to lock this.

Locked at the OP's request since it's been answered :)
