Well, reading through the forums, it seems that someone has received a Shield Left Half after killing 17 (Maybe 27) of the new Sand Lizards. This following the Dark Beasts which drop Left Halves and Meds quite often, Dust Devils, a lower level monster that drops the Dragon Chain, the Metal Dragons which drop Dragon Legs and Skirts at a uncommon rather than rare ratio, and the countless other monsters that drop Meds, it almost seems that Jagex is making Dragon Items more common. When it first came out, it was only a drop from the hardest monster in the game, the KBD. Then Fire Giants, and then the Left Half was made as a very rare drop from near every monster in the game. When rs2 came out, they released the Ring of Wealth which (supposedly) makes there rare drops less rare, along with two/three (I don't remember if Dspears were rsc) new dragon weapons. Since then, they've kept making it easier to get these drops, and now a level 42 monster drops a Left Half in under 50 kills. Sure, this had a huge stroke of luck, but somehow I think that the Left Halves are going to have a bit better ratio from these. So, personally, I think that since Dragon seems to be easier to get all the time, they're preparing for a new armour, or maybe even travel to Frenskae (sp?) where the Dragon weapons are made, therefore making them much easier to get, most likely buyable. Who knows, maybe I'm completely off with all of this, but I was thinking something like this last night, and now after 17 kills a Left Half. And now, after 20 kills, a Half Key. Anyways, I have to go to class, but what do you all think about this?

Maybe we should all head down there quick before Jagex has the chance to update it, like they did the frequency of stuff from barrows.

It all comes down to luck.

The prices won't drop dramatically, for now. Unless you were right on the better ratio theory, and more people do get lucky drops, I don't think there would be anything to worry about. Dragon armour still remain one of the highest status (with the exception of Party Hats) and the prices wouldn't drop too far enough to cause concern for they still haven't announce a new type of better armour. All the current ones that gives better bonus than Dragon has it's disadvantages.

I would think that prices will remain the same or drop by a little bit, enough to remain out of reach from normal people. Or in a alternative scenario, like the Medium Helmet, the prices will half for Square Shields.

Though I might just be convincing myself, because I'm killing Dust Devils to get chains, and make money out of it. (I know what I'm getting into. Please don't bombard me with advices to drop it. Mmmk?)

I don't think so. Are you saying that all those tonnes of people that keep saying that they've got a drop down to luck? There's more and more dragon drops every day. I don't think anything is down to luck. Luck is something we blame for when something drops into are favour dramatically.

No, it is quite a bit of luck, and a good bit of the recent decrease of rarity of Dragon is just multiple people getting more and more drops. Thing is, if you look beyond that, it does seem like Jagex is making it less rare slowly and gradually, but less rare all the same.

I always thought that maybe Obsidion would take a stand in the armory.

If Barrows armor didn't destroy the use of dragon, then nothing will. .

I'm not saying that Barrows doesn't destroy the use of Dragon Armour. It is also used if you're not healing with Guthan, for it does provides the most defence without being charged extra.

At some point, a new type of armour will be introduced that is better than Dragon or Barrows. If they released the alternative Dragon Armour (eg. Full Helmet, Platebody...) then the old ones will be abandoned and lots of people *may* complain. So, a new type of stuff should do the trick.

I agree Twilight. But why make more armour that would be better than drag if they havnt even put fulldrag out yet? Maybe that's what coming out, drag larges, plates and kites. Trying to make the lower version of the armour cheaper since the better type is coming out. Anyway, maybe ill try killing some sand lizards.

If they did, what would it be? dragon-runite?

dont think jagex is that stupid they would come out with something, use your imagination, i bet you didnt even use .0000231 of your brain power to think of that, if and when they do release something new, it will be expensive as is all armor when released.

wrong, barrows has it advantages and disadvantages, think of it this way, if you couldnt buy arrows and you could only kill for it, it would be more unique, you have to repair it when needed and, it also has it weakness, but it may be good but id still perfer, dragon over barrows anyday.
