Item Lending

[compfreak847]

Is there a sticky here to request\offer item loans? I'd like to try a sgs\ags out for a few hours in the dual arena before I buy one, too hard to sell :wall:

 

I looked for a sticky but didn't find one. I don't pay (Not risking getting banned), so finding a loaner will be hard.

Well, just letting you know. It's not illegal to rent items. Only to advertise on RSOF.

look in marketplace

Look in the marketplace forum, I dont know if anyone will toss you one for free, unless there is a nice tipiter somewhere.. *hint* :

Ah, so we made a forum. Except that no one wants to lend their godsword, and all us begging noobs are clamoring for one. Guess I gotta run around begging, I'm not going to drop 90M on an item only to find out I can't sell it and its not worth the money. As for the not paying, due to all the confusion about it I'd rather not risk it and get caught in the crossfire. I'd be willing to pay a few hundred k every hour of the day just to play with the ga... lets end that rythme. (sorry, random moment. Unusual for me...) Hopefully everything will settle down in a week or two and I'll be able to get my hands on one?

Well if you don't then here's some decent tips on buying either of them.

 

 

 

Buy the SGS if you want to do slayer, it helps out a lot. And, no offense, but at your level and slayer level, it looks like you pced them. Again, only use this if you do slayer.

 

 

 

The AGS is really only used for pvp and monster hunting, so buy this if you're going to do either of those.

 

 

 

If you don't want to do any of these, then just buy a ZGS if you like a game of castle wars every so often and a BGS if you just want to kill things.

To this I would add:

 

SGS is the BEST for non-competitive (lootshare/coinshare) god wars or DKs, the healing makes you last WAY longer and use WAY less potions.

 

BGS is a cheaper alternative to the SGS or AGS for monster hunting- the special can be killer if you hit high on a high defense boss.

 

SGS is the best for "just killing things" IMO, can't beat that special. Use the extra prayer for turning piety on for a while between specs- this makes it more powerful than any other weapons. Free piety = win.

 

AGS is the best for competitive boss killing where lootshare is off, but if you're not doing that, SGS is better and BGS is arguably better (boosting the hits of the whole team for the whole kill vs. adding 25% to two of your own hits).

Thanks for the advice, but I've EXTENSIVELY researched all of these (meaning watched at least 5 hours of video, read dozens of reviews, talked to 50+ people, posted several times on the forums, and bought the easy-to-resell two and tried them myself). I'm interested in hard data; specifically what percentage of an accuracy boost does the SGS special provide? How does AGS spec effect your base hit and accuracy? How well do both of them hit on certain armor combos? I need to try them myself, dueling the same person over and over and recording hard data. Thanks for trying to help though, and I'm not being sarcastic. As for my combat level, the only PCing I've ever done was to get 82 magic. I just don't like slayer, and what people think of that really doesn't bother me. :

I've got to say I don't entirely agree with those views. Admittedly I've never owned one, but as I said before I've done quite a bit of research. SGS would not be as useful as for some due to my unicorn, but could still be used in many places and I am favoring this one. BGS special is GARBAGE, I almost always miss on high level bosses. AGS is nice in that it means I can get into any team, any time. I'd like to find out if the special is really worth that much.

[green9090]

Even if you have a unicorn, the prayer aspect of the special alone makes the SGS worth its price half again over. I frequently go four or five kills in a row without needing to use any prayer restore other than SGS specs and the GWD altar.

 

 

 

BGS special is garbage compared to the SGS, but I kinda like it. I hit 60 on Graardor and 67 on the KQ (while soloing, no less :D). Needless to say, both of those fights were over quickly. I prefer it to the AGS, though I am flamed for this view. AGS is overrated for any use but world 6 Bandos, where it is basically required.

The Stick is in fact located here.
