Dragon Full Helm scam

Careful about these Dragon full helms.
Botters at mithril dragons before the update on the 14th, used all their chewed bones, and sold the d full helms they may have gotten.
On the 14th, mith dragons became way too overpowered, still slow to kill, and the d full helm had its stats nerfed = Over supply of d full helms on market with literally 0 or miniscule demand

The GE Price says it is around 30m, when it is really selling for 4M or even less.

That ge price is way off, wonder why it takes so long to adjust? Maybe Jagex needs to change their formula for calculating the price….

Its the same thing with other items such as a ahrims wand. Ge price says about 2m, respectively, when an ahrims wand goes for around 40-50m on ge, and you wont get one under that unless someone decides to dump a collection onto the market

They dont like to let the econemy show their fail patches destroying things, so their system adjusts ridiculously slowly over weeks instead of days, suppose it helps us most of the time,

Thanks for the tip and patch notes Jakee ;)

No problem ;)

They really need to fix the stats of helms such as the full slayer helm as well, the stats of it is way less than the parts that are used to create one

This is off-topic but did Jagex make waterfiends and balck demons overpowered too? I tried botting them for the first time in a month yet I couldn't get fast kills and they hit hard on me….

And the DFH dropped +4m over the last four days http://www.grandexchangecentral.com/item.php?rid=11335&ref=search

But the ge price is still 30m, which is amazingly stupid.

Try greater demons in the brimhaven dungeon. It gives good ranged xp but thats about it.

They may have possibly set a max % increase/decrease per day to stabilize items in general in the short term, and reduce the profitability of merching activities.
Otherwise merchers could get an item from 100k to 1m in 1 day then dump mass quantity of them and those who didn't check history and thought that 1m is the standard price would have been 'scammed'.
