About Dragon metal lump
"A badly damaged lump of dragon metal."
The dragon metal lump is one of two Rune dragon-only drops required to craft the Dragon platebody, the other being the dragon metal shard. With a 1/5,000 drop rate from one of the strongest dragons in the game, the lump's price is anchored by raw rune dragon supply versus dragon platebody demand from melee endgame DPS upgrades.

Released with Dragon Slayer II as one of the rune dragon platebody components.
Market Strategy
Rune Dragon Supply Squeeze- Supply is locked to active rune dragon killers; price is sensitive to slayer task assignments
- Dragon Slayer II + 90 Smithing requirement caps demand-side competition
- Pairs cleanly with dragon metal shard — track both before committing capital
- Buy limit of 50 means large investors can comfortably accumulate over multiple cycles
Trading Tips
Watch the dragon platebody / chainbody spread to predict lump direction
Bid hard during prolonged slayer droughts when supply dries up
Avoid overbuying near double-XP weekends; smithing demand spikes are short-lived
