Hey, I'd like to know what the best armour is for a 1 defence member. It'd help a lot if you told me what quests are needed to be done before I could use them too.

 

 

 

Here are some of my guesses for some slots, please correct me if I'm wrong. Remember, this is for a 1 defence pure, and I only care about magic attack bonus, not any defence.

 

 

 

Helm:

 

Amulet: Magic = Glory = Fury (all +10 to magic attack)

 

Torso:

 

Legs:

 

Weapon: Air staff (+10 to magic as with all elemental staffs)

 

Sheild: Zamorak god book > elemental shield (thanks nerd/smith)

 

Cape: God cape (thanks smither)

 

Boots: Wizard boots

 

Gloves: Chaos gauntlets? Or combat brace? (magic +3)

 

 

 

As you can see, I'm only really sure regarding the amulet and weapons slots. Any help/suggestions appreciated, and in case you're wondering, I'm trying to fire bolt my way to 82 magic. (Still unsure of what monster on)

 

 

 

Thanks!

Your basically left with F2P mage armour now at 1 defence. Wizard boots need no defence.

 

 

 

Helm: Plain wizards hat

 

Amulet: Magic or glory Fury is you can afford

 

Torso: Plain wizard Robe bottom

 

Legs: Plain wizard robe top

 

Weapon: Air staff ya that should be good

 

Sheild: Elemental Shield (mage bonus) Requires Elemental workshop P1

 

Cape: God cape only need to finish the Mage Arena Minigame.

 

Boots: Wizard boots (no defence required)

 

Gloves: Chaos gauntlets (only when using bolt spells)

Thanks for the quick post. However, I have some questions. What do I need to do to be able to obtain/wear chaos gauntlets, and is there a better item for the shield slot than elemental sheild? How about the god books? (I'm not sure). Lastly, What do you mean by finishing the Mage Minigame? Is it hard?

1. The Family Crest quest is required for the Chaos Gauntlets. You need 59 magic for it.

 

 

 

2. A completed god book would be much better than an elemental shield. Your best choice is a Zamorak book, followed by Guthix, and don't bother with Saradomin on a pure.

 

 

 

3. Just click the link he provided. It's gonna be harder for a 1 defence pure, but you can restock between the different monsters you must fight. Makes it a whole lot easier. :P

Thanks nerdattack. For the main parts (helm/body/legs) is it true that ghostly robes are better than just f2p wizard clothes? How about splitbark and skeletal armour? Or do they require defence?

Im assuming most mage PKers have 1 defence, and I see alot of them in Ghostly Robes.

 

 

 

Wizard Robe top +Wizard Hat + Zammy robe Bottom = + 7

 

 

 

Ghostly robe top + bottom + hood = +12

 

 

 

Ghostly robes is better.

 

 

 

If you don't have the requirements or don't want to finish Desert Treasure, all you need to do is give the DT guy the items at the beginning.

 

Ie. Get:

 

 

 

12 Magic logs, 6 Steel bars, 6 Molten glass, 1 heap of Ashes, 1 Bones, 1 Charcoal, 1 Blood rune [all of these may be noted], 650gp

 

 

 

Then go talk to Rasolo north of Ardougne, he will want a cross or something.

 

 

 

 

 

Get some lockpicks and go to the chest in the bebadin camp. Unlock it and bring the cross back to him and he will give you the ring of visibility.

 

 

 

Then when you have the ring of visibility, click here

Gloves: Chaos gauntlets~combat brace > Ghostly Gloves

Filled it in with a decent array of items, leaving the totally useless ones out as far as I know. Also noticed you forgot a ring slot, so I threw that in too. :)

Thank you, I think that's almost completely right, since I did do some research just then. One thing though, is whether or not the Farseer helm is the best for that spot (+6 opposed to ghostly hood which is +3) I have looked on various sites, yet none have said defence is needed for this.

 

 

 

Thanks!

Ghostly robes ofcourse.

farseer helm requires 45 def.

Yes, there is a defence level of 45 required to wear the Farseer helmet. Also, you need to be done the Fremmelik Trials quest, which gives defence exp, and would in turn give you a defence higher than 1.
