Lenin64 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 No, granite gives better defence on everything except magic, but range has the highest difference.

nerdattack16 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Granite platebody is only slightly better than rune. It's not really worth paying the extra 50k or so, in my opinion. Plus it weighs a lot more. Sig credit goes to ThruItAll. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22woger22 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Interesting, I didn't know this... Would a granite plate be worth it? Or should we stick to our faithful rune platebody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightHarvester Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 If you are just able to use granite and have the extra cash to spend most certainly get granite it is indeed a better replacement then rune platebody. Though if you are higher a level with more defense then the benefits are neglible and it's really more for status symbol and for looks. Most armor is only neglibly better then the previous, save for barrows where you can really notice a difference in battle. It's all really dependent on your defense level though as a defense level 40 in full rune will notice more benefits then a defense level 70 in full rune compared to dragon. Personally if i had the extra cash which isn't too hard, I would choose granite body over rune anyday.

MidnightHarvester Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Go buy some granite legs as well and try running :wink: Best cheap combo would be that body with dragon legs but then you end up looking like a linebacker.

Roberthree Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I would use it as a secondary for when you don't want to waste barrows degrading. I sometimes see people with dragon legs and granite platebodies that mysteriously turn into Dharok.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xstarfox33X Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 torso + trimed\god skirt or just rune legs best u'll ever get and it doesn't make u look like a linebacker Right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightHarvester Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well best you will ever get is a tall statement considering I'm sure I would (with all stats being equal that is and all other equipment) kill someone in that with full torags but indeed, that is a lot better looking and honestly one of the better setups for day to day, so... +1 Hours Available (EST|GMT-5) Mon-Fri: 7-11pm | Sat-Sun: Throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmister2 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The one good thing about the granite body is that it doesn't interfiere(sp?) with your ava's accumalator! Free steel arrows FTW!!!!! :D Barrow Drops: 1 Ahrim's Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
