Ring_World 753 Posted February 7, 2015 not really rune plate was craftable and available in a shop while a dragon plate (or chain) required boss kills and luck. Rune plate was considered a quest reward while dragon plate/chain was considered a rare drop reward. They were brought into the game under different methods of balance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essiw 143 Posted February 8, 2015 Still makes sense for ironman though, as rune plate is a lot easier to get than a dragon plate (except from diango) :P Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

Blaze The Movie Fan 163 Posted February 8, 2015 Still makes sense for ironman though, as rune plate is a lot easier to get than a dragon plate (except from diango) :P Considering that all parts required are extremely rare drops from monsters not easy to kill, I think getting a dragon platebody without the grand exchange is nearly impossible. ^Except for the fact that you cannot visit crandor without doing the quest, and you cannot finish 4 task sets (lumbridge, karamja, varrock, desert). You can also not start Heroes Quest which is required for Legends quest and Throne of Miscellania (so you cannot do MTK). Do I need to continue? :POh of course, how could I forget that?

They're not that hard to kill once you know what you're doing :v I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

essiw 143 Posted February 8, 2015 What also doesn't make sense is a quest unlocking the ability to make all pickaxes, when you probably already have bought the rune pickaxe already anyway.

Except for the whole part about how it totally is~ Also, adamantite and runite are hyped up as being crazy strong metals, and yet are considerably worse than both the ancient, visibly moldy armor the barrows brothers wore and steel armor from the east.

What steel armour from the east? Tetsu? That's made from 'plate' which is never specified as a specific metal-type and is totally separate from the stainless steel resource. Barrows its kinda debatable about whether it looks mouldy or is just brown since we have never seen it in its original state and the fact Akrisae's set takes on the same appearance and he was only wighted very recently kinda suggests its not decayed so much as it is a side effect of the wight making magics/Sliske imbuing the gear with magical properties.

"Tetsu" does mean iron though, I believe. I would give them the benefit of the doubt if not for this.

Secondly all those halberts can only be gotten in a different way than other weapons, you need multiple quests for them.

I know that the Legends' Quest is required and that one requires these two. When I played these quests, it was literally impossible to do these quests without another player. I'm not sure if it's changed now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
