Silent-Reaper Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have been off runescape for around 8 months and was wondering how dragon armour is so cheap now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezon Dash Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It is cheap because it is useless, but it is really expensive for what it does so nobody uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tansuo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It is cheap because it is useless, but it is really expensive for what it does so nobody uses it. Yeah that didn't help.It's useless to you because you're levelled past it, yet to the OP it could be the best they can use. Less high level attitude more helping OP plz. Oh right so what is the best armour to buy then? As Caco said, buy the highest tier armour you can use. As for the best, there is debate over whether Player Owned Ports or Nex armour is the best, I'll leave that up to you to decide.Combat style matters much more now, so ideally you'll want a set of armour for each combat style. | | | A Blog to Bathtubs for BeginnersQuest Cape | 99 Defence Achieved 11-Jul-2011 17:41 | 99 Prayer 11-Jul-2012 | 99 Constitution 02-Aug-201299 Attack 31/10/2012 | 99 Dungeoneering 31/10/2012 | 99 Strength 31/10/2012 | 99 Magic 2/12/201299 Range 16/12/2012 | 99 Herblore 25/12/2012 | 99 Summoning 4/1/2013 | 99 Firemaking 6/3/201399 Farming 10/4/2013 | 99 Slayer 11/7/2013 | 99 Fletching 21/8/2013 | 99 Smithing 22/8/2013 99 Crafting 19/12/2013 | 99 Cooking 15/1/2014 | 99 Agility 25/1/2014 | 99 Thieving 01/02/201499 Construction 21/04/2014 | 99 Woodcutting 04/03/2014 | 99 Fishing 17/04/2014 | 99 Mining 23/07/201599 Divination 27/07/2015 | 99 Runecrafting 20/08/2015 | 99 Hunter 20/08/2015 | Maxed 20/08/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinc3Wind Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I would say as your levels increase Nex > GWD armors > Barrows, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right though, it may be the best he can use, but people with 60 defence can usually not afford the high cost of dragon, in that sense is is useless.

You never needed that ridiculously over priced Dplate body.And dfh??? Nezzy ftw.Which is essentially the same circumstance here. Dragon gear was only ever worth so much purely because of its rarity and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vezon Dash Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It was once the highest tier armor in the game, and the difference in armor rating between dragon and barrows was negligible for most combat. The dragon chain was just so rare that barrows was just cheaper, and I'm pretty sure that the DFH was made to be a cosmetic item just like the D Kite.
