Granite Body and Shield versus their rune counterparts.

Featured Replies

Are they worth if for the money?

 

They're roughly three times the cost.

 

But are they worth it?

 

Defence-wise of course..

Barrow Drops: Guthan's Helm, Karil's Crossbow.

5 Pieces of the Crystal Key so far.

 

I would never consider meeting people irl. Not just because of risks that they could be a 40 year old man who is only interested in the bottom half of your body.

As far as the shield goes, it rules the range defence of a rune kite, but from what I remember from a long time ago the rune kite had either the same or slightly higher defensive stats.

 

You have all the information you could ask for on the Tip.It web site, just use the combat guide and the smithing table, it's better to answer things for yourself when you have indefinate information right infront of you.

 

 

 

As far as the price goes, it may be three times more, but when you're talking about a price range of 50k-150k it shouldn't really matter that much, seeing as there are many methods of making extreme ammount of money per hour nowadays (eg. Aviansies, if you do choose them, do them now or never, addy bar prices are shooting down from what I know).

 

 

 

I can tell you for certain that all granite items easily beat rune in range defence, so if you're facing ranged opponents alot then it would be a smart option if you can't afford barrows.

granite body have better overall defence then the rune plate body but also rule it in ranged defence, granite shield on the other hand have very good ranged defence but have slightly lower melee defences then the rune kite.

 

 

 

As most monsters are melee i suggest using a granite plate and rune kite.

Thanks for the replies.

 

 

 

Anyways, I checked out the Tip.It databases and I've decided to go with a Rune Kite and Granite Body.

 

 

 

Seeing as how the Rune Kite has abit better melee defences than the Granite Shield, and Ranged defence isn't that important for most monsters.

 

 

 

And the Granite body just plain beats the rune body in everyway.

 

'Cept maybe looks.. But those don't really matter..

For A higher player - Fighter torso and Rune defender, so none :D

granite items are very heavy (especially the plate) -> you run out of energy quicker.

 

 

 

as for the shields - obby shield is an alternative to rune/granite. Same defence as granite, +5 str and is lighter by both.
