Need help with armor choice used for slayer tasks

Featured Replies

In the past i have used torag's, but i dont want to have to worry about repairing my stuff. However upon looking around i discovered there is nothing near as protective as barrows platebody, so i decided to keep a barrows plate and mix and match the rest. Please let me know what you think. Gear will be used to train strength and slayer. Money shouldn't be a problem so recommend away.

well my setup is similar for melee training. It depends a lot on whether you have full guthans for training, or if you need to rely on food.

 

 

 

If you use food only, then you want your highest defence bonus, so I think that what you have is pretty solid. If you have guthans, then you can afford to not have the highest def bonus and use things like defenders etc.

 

here is my setup:

 

 

 

Helmet - Black mask

 

Amulet - Amulet of Glory

 

Body - Granite Plate

 

Legs - Dragon legs

 

Boots - Dragon boots

 

Gloves - Barrows Gloves from RFD

 

Ring - Wealth

 

Cape - Quest

 

Weapon - Dragon scimitar

 

Shield - Rune defender

 

With guthans in inv to heal. High def helps (92 at the mo) as you dont get hit as often. This also means that you do not have to repair your barrows armour as often.

 

 

 

I'd definitely recommend getting barrows gloves (or as good as you can from RFD) as they have awesome bonuses for all 3 combat styles.

Best Barrows Chest: guth skirt, dh helm, dh axe, racks, gp (23/08/06); best tt reward: robin, guthix helm, guthix legs, nats, rune legs

Helmet - Black mask - Always always wear this if you can.

 

Amulet - Amulet of strength - Fury or Glory

 

Body - Guthan's platebody Guthans let you stay at taks for a while, keep.

 

Legs - Dragon plateskirt Guthans skirt.

 

Boots - Dragon boots best boots on offer currently, keep

 

Gloves - Combat bracelet(4) Barrows gloves from the RFD quest.

 

Ring - Nothing Ring of Wealth/Life

 

Cape - Obsidian cape Acheivement cape, trimmed if poss. If not I think obby is best.

 

Weapon - Dragon scimitar this is the best stregth training weapon. Use whip for defense and attack

 

Shield - Rune defender Keep where possible.

 

 

 

Have Guthans spear and helm in ya inven. When you run low on health (i use midway) Guthans to full health. Obviously this wont work for all tasks but will for most.

 

 

 

Get an armour stand in your house for cheaper repairs. I repair mine when my plate and skirt get to 25% and it costs me about 150k. This is at 72 smithing. The drops will more than pay for this.

Build Equipment

 

 

 

Helmet - Black mask Change

 

Amulet - Amulet of strength Change

 

I like Fury: -2 Str, but +10 Att, +15 Def, and +5 Prayer

 

Body - Guthan's platebody Change

 

I like Fighter Torso. Better Slash Def than Granite Plate and +4 Str

 

Legs - Dragon plateskirt Change

 

Boots - Dragon boots Change

 

Gloves - Combat bracelet(4) Change

 

Finish RFD and get "Barrows" gloves

 

Ring - Nothing Change

 

Always wear a ring. Zerker, Warrior or ROW are your best choicest

 

Cape - Obsidian cape Change

 

Fire Cape is best, but Achievement Capes are no different from Obby until you get them trimmed (+4 Prayer)

 

Weapon - Dragon scimitar Change

 

Fine if you are training Strength, otherwise a Whip

 

Shield - Rune defender Change

Berrakus.png

Dragon Drops - 10 Meds, 9 Legs, 5 Skirts, 2 Left Half

PM me to have any potions made or crafting done

This is just what i usally wear.

 

Note:i buy and sell guthans alot because of the price changing, so sometimes i have it, sometimes i don't. For this however, i will not include it.

 

 

 

The first item is what i will usally wear, and second is something that i will sometimes have due to selling to avoid money loss (when price drops).

I would consider a ring of life. It is very cheap and will save you from a lot of slayer monsters. What's better, a 50% chance of saving your stuff or losing 7 mill?

I use full guthans, which btw is the BEST for doing most slayer task since you don't need to eat much. I also wear obby cape, dragon boots, dragonstone ammy, ring, and braclet.

 

 

 

And if I need to be in range gear, I wear k set.
