is the dragon chain really anything special anymore?

Money, is going down due to construction, but not by that much. People have already spent millions on construction, and are trying to make it back really fast, and they are sucseeding too. I know in one day, i generated 20mill, (only about 4M of which was profit) due to alching. That's just from one person (well one persons alchs)... just imagine all of the people who are alching.

 

 

 

I agree that the money needs to be drained somehow, maybe a dragon plate or something that you can actually buy from shops, but costs like 200M or something.. that'd get rid of a lot of money, and also, lower the costs of everything else in an attempt to sell.

 

 

 

Either way though, someone's disadvantaged by the changes.

I really do hope so.. I'm 101 Combat and Currently Saving for Dragon Chain.. I'm sure my stats are higher than most people at my combat. I've not done that to be a skiller. I've done it so I can make multiple Incomes. I will never Merchant to get my Chain.

 

 

 

Good on you! Down with merchenting! Lolz.. I'm exactly the same as you, I've never resorted to merchenting, and never will. I worked hard for ALL of my money.. i would have a lot more if i wasn't so prone to dying, but I dont like quick fixes, I'de rather earn the money. The chain will have more value to me when I buy it, JUST because I EARNED THE MONEY THROUGH PUTTING TIME AND EFFORT INTO RAISING SKILLS. :)

Well, after I've bought my guthan warspear, I'll start saving up for a dragon chain no matter what anyone says about it. =;

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

i sold everything for a dchain at one point and i was sorely dissapointed, they're a boreding piece of expensive equipment that is nulled by most barrows armours

Some people don't like to have to spend maintennance money on their armor.

 

Hmm, lets do the math...

 

 

 

Dragon Chain: Retail Price: 19.5m

 

Torag Plate Body: Retail Price: 1.2m

 

(Note: Both of these were found on the RuneScape.com forums just now)

 

 

 

That means that you're paying an extra 18.3m to basically... have worse stats at the benefit of not having to pay for repairs?

 

 

 

Okay okay, so there HAS to be a reason people would get this! Lets look at it. I mean, repairs seem to be so expensive, they are being portrayed as these huge payments to no one, but... wait a minute, 90k to repair a body? That isn't as much as they make it sound... okay okay, lets brake this down some more! They have to be right in that it's more expensive with the Torag Plate, don't they?

 

 

 

18,300,000 / 90,000 = 203.33333 repairs. So...

 

203.33333 * 15 (hours) = 3049.999999999995 hours of using Torag (at 90k per repair)

 

So for that 18.3m that you aren't spending on that dragon chain, you could get 127 days worth of training with that torag plate.

 

 

 

Wow, Torag does seem like a better option. But wait! It gets better! Thanks to the new POH Workshop, at level 55 Construction, you can cut your repair costs in half! That's right! Now you have 254 days with that armor! But wait, there's more! That's 69.6% of a year! And that's playing 24 hours a day! Wow... so again, why would you want a dragon chain? Oh yeah, because you're greedy and you want to show off your ability to scam people, great move, ya swell person.

 

 

 

No it's cause torag looks like a noob ;)

i wore dhroak plate and leg instead of torag

 

if u looks properly..

 

dhroak plate = torag plate + colour spray ? lol :shock:

 

dhroak leg = torag leg+ colour spray

 

 

 

it jus looks nicer

dragon chain vs torag = longevity(sp?)

 

 

 

 

 

a drag chain just looks so much better, and it can be worn without any idea of spending $ if a swarm attacks you.

 

 

 

 

 

i understand where u are comming from completly, but 1, torag looks ugly 2, people could melee 15 hours straight and then have to fix it...thats a waiste of leavin a spot

 

 

 

and yeah well is their really a different in torag plate vs dragon chain? i mean honestly is that 20-30 def points going to get me killed? at 90+ def i doubt it...

 

 

 

 

 

looking good is a part of it to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and no, the chain means nothing now really. i see people who have them who are like, omg im richer then u, im like omg im 40 combat lvls over you... spending all ur time on world 2 sure isnt how this game was meant to be played

 

 

 

 

 

=;

 

 

 

Since when was this game a fashion show? Jesus, get a grip!

 

 

 

Ever since party hats were introduced into the game :roll: , look around, Theres people who "dress" up just to look "cute" or "cool" it sickens me but oh well, Let them play the game how they want to play.

Quit runescape...

I really hope they come out with Drag boots, and you need like level 92 -95 slayer level to get them from a drop. And they are non tradeable, but that will never happen.. :-w

Jessy, i'm gonna have to disagree with you, Torag takes up less food, Dragon chain has worse bonuses causing you to eat more food..Thus making you have to bank and get MORE food to waste away, and you would leave the spot to bank :wink: .

 

 

 

So, normally people stay at a monster training for 2 1\2 hours or so, your Torag body would break down once or twice, but they still have better defence bonuses than the dragon chain..I think Torags may be ugly, but I think it is better to train with in the long run.

All Quests completed

99 Thieving achieved on January 10th, 2008

99 Defense achieved on August 3rd, 2008

85 Slayer achieved on July 31st, 2008

6 Dragon boot drops, 14 Whip drops

since, like uh the day runescape was invented. since party hats were considered alot of $ in classic...

well, see thats the difference with me and some people, i could stay at a spot for, i dunno...weeks?

 

 

 

 

 

i could buy a dragon chain, but yeah bad investment...i want 1, but forkin over 20+mil for 1...nah im fine.

 

 

 

guthans and bones to peaches combo = maybe months of sticking to 1 spot if i dont fill up on drops.

 

 

 

 

 

so, yeah if i can goto a spot with good drops that are alchable, then yeah. i could high alch guthan and bones 2 peaches and just live their forever as long as i had nats.

 

 

 

so at that point torag has no realistic attraction to me where as a dragon chain could be something i may get 1 day, but i doubt id pay for it, especially not like if i cut 20k magic logs... id have to get like a chain drop or like 5 berserker rings then MAYBE id shell out some of my hard earned cash to get it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

torag < dchain

 

Some people don't like to have to spend maintennance money on their armor.

 

Oh yeah, because you're greedy and you want to show off your ability to scam people, great move, ya swell person.

Was that scam part directed at merchanters?

 

 

 

Yes, yes it was.

 

 

 

And people, you aren't seeing clearly hear. There are two parts to this arguement. The "it looks purty as muh cuzin under de moon lite" arguement, and then there's the "I want to level my stats so I can hump people after they die" arguement. If you're cold cut on your ways of "it looks good," then I really can't change that. Sure! I think it looks great! Do I want one? YES! But I WILL NOT buy one from a scammer, and I refuse to even acknowledge somebody that bought theirs. Buying it proves nothing, getting it as a drop is better.

 

 

 

But what you thick skulled people really don't get, is that you are spending near 18.3m, and Nuke_Psychosis, your whole idea of "Dragon Chains don't devalue at a rate of 720k a month" is completely off base, and I suggest you withdraw that comment. You are paying that 720k (if that even) from the 18.3m that you saved by not buying the dragon armor. I don't know about you, but Barrows armor has seemed to hold steady for a good while now, they haven't dropped by 1m yet. And as to the "you'll probably be getting 25-35% in savings" thing, you're still getting 3049.9999995 HOURS of gameplay with that 18.3m you saved by not buying the chain! You are a moron if you want to argue with those facts. You can EASILY max out at least one skill (providing you are at least level 70 defense and maybe 70 attack) with 3049.9999995 hours. Now, that's 127 days, of 24/7 gaming! How often do you see somebody playing 24/7? Never! Okay, then lets break it down some more, so you can get the concept of "you can play for longer," because you don't seem to be understanding it.

 

 

 

At 24/7 gaming, you can play for roughly 127 days. Meaning that at 12 hours a day, you can play for 254 days, that's 69.6% of a YEAR!!! Now, most people don't play 12 hours a day (unless your name is n0valyfe), so I'll imagine you play for the 6 hours that people normally say, because they want to make it seem as if they have what they like to refer to as "a life." At 6 hours a day, that means you are getting well over a year of playing time with that 18.3m. Don't tell me it's impossible to get a melee stat to 99 before then, because you simply can't. At 6 hours a day, that's about 508 hours, which is about 139% of a year! That's incredible! That's a whole year, and another 143 days of training!!!! If you want to argue with this, go right ahead, but these are straight up facts, and it's tough to argue with these.

 

 

 

And the looks thing? Well, that's your preference, but remember that to get a dragon chain, most people use Barrows armor (Verac) to KQ a chain. Oh, and also, the Torag and Dharok sets are exactly the same (except the Torag Helmet is better by about 2 stat points).

 

 

 

The best melee outfit in the game:

 

Full Torag

 

Dragon Shield

 

Whip

 

Barrows Gloves

 

Rune Boots

 

Lava Cape

 

Onyx Amulet

 

 

 

There is no contest there.

Anyone i saw with full dragon or chain i used to get 10+ pictures of, Now all i do is walk past them as say "Nice Armour" with their reply of

 

"I no, Smthin u culd nvr afrd n00b!!!11!!"

 

(notice the Internet speak :mrgreen: :-w )

I recieved my Chain from a Dust Devil drop and I think it is a status symbol regardless of onyone says. CWolf2... that whole post you made I was thinking to myself, "Jerk." To start off you call merchants scammers (A very simple close minded thought) Then you force 2 opinions on us, and finish it off by ranting and raving about money. Bug off, okay? Most people that have a chain don't have to worry about money, inflation or any of that because they are simply rich. I get a kick out of poeple coming up to me saying "Noob, chains are a waste of money." (Especially when they're walking around in HAM robes...) I don't care about the waste of money because that's what I want and no one's is going to change that.

 

 

 

On the merchants being scammers bit... I'm not a merchant or ever have been but sir, that talk makes you look like a jealous jerk. From past experiences almost every person who calls merchants scum, scammers and noobs turn out to be pathetic little worms themselves. Now, I'm not calling you that, but that's the stereotypical person that hates merchants.

Slack_Tide.png

Jimmy, please explain to me how buying something for a price you know is too low, and then selling for a price you know is too high is not scamming? You're stealing their money basically. Now, I can understand, maybe a difference of a few thousand gp, but buying a party hat for 154m, selling for 156m, that's what I like to call "scamming the other person." Technically, it can be considered item scamming, but there are too many merchanters out there to report. But hey, lets not argue about merchanting, this is a thread about Dragon Chains.

 

 

 

Oh, and Jessy, I didn't mean that specifically Torag armor was better, I meant any Barrows armor; be it Torag, Guthan, Verac, what have you, it's better in the long run than a dragon chain. Not to mention that with dueling and verac armor, you can win a lot of money back. But if you had a d chain, it'd be more difficult...

So if I'm selling rune larges for 30k ea, and someone offers me 35k for it, I'm scamming them? XD If I say that the helms are worth 35k, then I'm scamming.

 

 

 

A merchanter is someone who buys for low and sells for high; NOT someone who says that an item is worth less, buys it, then says an item is worth more.

I don't get it... He brought it on himself, he wanted a reply from someone.

 

 

 

Dragon chains are relevant to merchanting because they are the highest priced non-rare item. Feel free to report any merchants you want, but it's legal because they not saying to someone, "Buy this it's rare! So you have to pay more!" It's a cliche argument, but people pay what merchants are asking. If they weren't then ther wouldn't be any merchants. They simply buy something and try to make a profit off of it.

 

 

 

To go even further lets talk real-life. A merchant is someone who buys low and sells high, so corner stores must be breaking the law by "scamming" people of their money? The person can simply go down to Costco and buy whatever goods they're buying for cheaper. I don't think it's going too far by saying (using your logic) that corner stores are crooks because that is the exact same thing that happens in Runescape.

 

 

 

Just thinking a little bit further. Where do you think the corner stores get their merchandise? Costco.

I saw a lvl 66 with full dragon and i at least see 2 d chains when i play in busy worlds :cry:

 

Some people don't like to have to spend maintennance money on their armor.

 

Hmm, lets do the math...

 

 

 

Dragon Chain: Retail Price: 19.5m

 

Torag Plate Body: Retail Price: 1.2m

 

(Note: Both of these were found on the RuneScape.com forums just now)

 

 

 

That means that you're paying an extra 18.3m to basically... have worse stats at the benefit of not having to pay for repairs?

 

 

 

Okay okay, so there HAS to be a reason people would get this! Lets look at it. I mean, repairs seem to be so expensive, they are being portrayed as these huge payments to no one, but... wait a minute, 90k to repair a body? That isn't as much as they make it sound... okay okay, lets brake this down some more! They have to be right in that it's more expensive with the Torag Plate, don't they?

 

 

 

18,300,000 / 90,000 = 203.33333 repairs. So...

 

203.33333 * 15 (hours) = 3049.999999999995 hours of using Torag (at 90k per repair)

 

So for that 18.3m that you aren't spending on that dragon chain, you could get 127 days worth of training with that torag plate.

 

 

 

Wow, Torag does seem like a better option. But wait! It gets better! Thanks to the new POH Workshop, at level 55 Construction, you can cut your repair costs in half! That's right! Now you have 254 days with that armor! But wait, there's more! That's 69.6% of a year! And that's playing 24 hours a day! Wow... so again, why would you want a dragon chain? Oh yeah, because you're greedy and you want to show off your ability to scam people, great move, ya swell person.

 

 

 

Your probably too poor to buy one rofl

 

Also you dont buy a chain for the bonuses, most people buy them because they look awesome and they dont want to look like a fat cow when they wear a torag plate

Kb Battousai

 

Private Chat - ON

so again, why would you want a dragon chain? Oh yeah, because you're greedy and you want to show off your ability to scam people, great move, ya swell person

 

 

 

You are an idiot ? You have no reason at all to say these things to people for wearing a dragon chain.

 

Personally I see the dragon chain as an achievement just as a fire cape because I will never buy one but just kill the queen for one until she drops it.

 

Buth then you come along and randomly call me a scammer, a swell person, greedy and you make it look like dchain is some ugly little red chain.

 

But its not, personally I find it one of the best looking armorpieces for that spot and I will proudly wear it along with the rest of full dragon, note that I have those barrows sets as well k ? dam you're just so sad next time you try to insult people that can obviously kill a queen more effectively do it with some reasonable arguments ok ?

 

Coming to think about it I actually liked your post until the maths ended and you had to prove that your big bro taught u some bad words as well.... :-X :wall: :x :shame:

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Thanks to the new POH Workshop, at level 55 Construction, you can cut your repair costs in half!

 

Just a little addition but I think most of the 99 smithers in here us can pay for both barrows and dragon armor k ?

 

Some people don't like to have to spend maintennance money on their armor.

 

Hmm, lets do the math...

Since when was this game a fashion show? Jesus, get a grip!

 

 

 

Hell yeah, it is!

 

Why else is there trimmed armour, gold armour, god armour, ...

 

Why do people wear party hats?

 

Why do people wear camel heads?

 

Why do people wear full zammy and a red mask?

 

Why do people wear bunny ears, mudskippers, and veracs armour?

 

Why do people wear glass bowls on their head???

 

Why are people saving money (well, some of them)? To buy some nice armour/a rare

 

 

 

Fashion my dear, fashion. To look cool

 

 

 

Btw: If I would get a chain myself as a drop, I wouldnt sell it. But I wouldn ever buy it either. But a drop, hell yeah, keep it and try to complete the full set. It still means something, especially if you got the whole set yourself as a drop.

I had a D Chain for several days, and I did get a lot of admiring comments, and as nice as they were, there came some negative comments also. I would play a game of castle wars with my D Chain, and you would not believe how disrespectful some of the players were. Most of the medium-high levels would just come up to me and call me a "rich noob." And although I do not mind being called names, it made me wonder what happened to aura of respect that used to come out of D Chains. That and D Chain and D Legs are noticeably weaker than that of Torag's. But seriously, D Chain looks waaayyyy cooler than Torag's. (If it were based on the looks-number system, the D Chain would have atleast 4 points on Torag's :lol:)

 

 

 

Maybe a lot of D Chain owners merchanted to get their D Chains, so what? Merchanting takes time and effort too :boohoo:

 

 

 

And yes, I think it is still special to see a guy with a D Chain, because it's not everyday that you get 20mil (if you can). But I think if you got a D Chain drop yourself, the chain itself is invaluable to you.

Yes, the D Chains aren't as much of a status symbol anymore, but they're still worth the money. They still look awesome, they are still the best one-time-payment defence bonuses for their weild slot.

 

 

 

If I ever had the spare money to get Dragon Chain and Legs, I would.

 

 

 

And if you have Guthans, it doesn't matter what you alternate to, it might as well be something that looks good with decent defence. :wink:

Well, yes, i still see a dragon chain and think "wow, thats nice, I wish I had one. Hell, i would settle for dragon legs." to tell you the truth, the "wow" factore is still there for me because im poor. you might have millions in your bank, but to people like me, who can barely afford a good weapon like a whip, seeing a dragno chain on a person your level or under, or even higher for that matter, makes you go crazy. (well, i start drooling anyway :P )

Some people don't like to have to spend maintennance money on their armor.

 

Hmm, lets do the math...

 

 

 

Dragon Chain: Retail Price: 19.5m

 

Torag Plate Body: Retail Price: 1.2m

 

(Note: Both of these were found on the RuneScape.com forums just now)

 

 

 

That means that you're paying an extra 18.3m to basically... have worse stats at the benefit of not having to pay for repairs?

 

 

 

Okay okay, so there HAS to be a reason people would get this! Lets look at it. I mean, repairs seem to be so expensive, they are being portrayed as these huge payments to no one, but... wait a minute, 90k to repair a body? That isn't as much as they make it sound... okay okay, lets brake this down some more! They have to be right in that it's more expensive with the Torag Plate, don't they?

 

 

 

18,300,000 / 90,000 = 203.33333 repairs. So...

 

203.33333 * 15 (hours) = 3049.999999999995 hours of using Torag (at 90k per repair)

 

So for that 18.3m that you aren't spending on that dragon chain, you could get 127 days worth of training with that torag plate.

 

 

 

Wow, Torag does seem like a better option. But wait! It gets better! Thanks to the new POH Workshop, at level 55 Construction, you can cut your repair costs in half! That's right! Now you have 254 days with that armor! But wait, there's more! That's 69.6% of a year! And that's playing 24 hours a day! Wow... so again, why would you want a dragon chain? Oh yeah, because you're greedy and you want to show off your ability to scam people, great move, ya swell person.

 

 

 

:shock: well put...well put
