History (2)
- 2021-09-22
Defence bonuses adjusted as part of the ranged armour rebalance (stab 5 to 3, crush 6 to 4).
- 2004-03-29
Released alongside the dragonhide armour line at the launch of RuneScape 2.
Market Strategy
- Demand comes from mid-level rangers, ironmen scaling Crafting, and clue-step gear loadouts.
- GE buy limit of 70 per 4 hours caps merchant volume.
- High alch return of 2,160 gp typically sits below GE price - not a profitable alch target.
- Supply is driven by Red dragon leather crafters plus drops from Dust devils, Dagannoth Supreme, and Lizardman shamans.
Trading Tips
Cross-check Red dragon leather + Thread spot prices to detect crafter arbitrage windows.
Watch dragonhide leather price swings - vambraces follow leather supply tightly.
Low-volatility flip - stable margin item, rarely a profit driver.
