Painting armor and making those banner things

[Miner52289]

I've seen a few people with them before and I thought it was cool. I don't remember where I read it but I remember reading about how you can paint steel and rune armor (?) after talking to the dude in Falador Castle you can change your emblem or family crest or whatever. I talked to him already and changed mine to Guthix. Now I want to make one of those wield-able banner things and guthix-colored steel armor. How do I go about doing this?

to make a banner you need like 66 construction or so

 

 

 

something in the workshop dont remember name

Banner easel. Need 66 construction and 40-odd crafting, I think.

You can use another person's banner easel if you don't have the construction level. If I were you I'd look for an open gilded altar and use theirs.

You absolutely need 16 construction to make any painted items (these are called heraldic items, by the way). That is because at level 16 you can build an oak decoration with your herald (symbol) on it. The heraldry man in Falador will not give you your symbol if you cannot make this item. The heraldry man gives you your first symbol for free (this is the symbol that you will automatically paint on all helmets, shields, and banners) but you can change it if you don't like it. It costs around 5k gp, but some symbols have special requirements, such as quests completed.

 

 

 

To make a painted helmet you need either a steel full helmet or a rune full helmet, and 38 crafting. To make a painted shield you need either a steel kite shield or rune kite shield and 43 crafting. To make a banner, you need 48 crafting, 1 normal plank and 1 piece of cloth. You can make these items in your own house, but that requires a fairly high construction level. Much easier would be to make them in someone else's house. You are more than welcome to use my house for this, just PM me on RS (my chat is always on) and tell me when you'd like to do it. I'll even give you a free plank and cloth if you want a banner. :

Thanks for the replies. I have 70 Construction and 66 Crafting btw (and a Gilded Altar =D YAY!) so I shouldn't have any problems making this in my house?

Clearly not! :

Sweet! I'm gonna try painting steel armor in the morning.

For STEEL armor, get a steel full helm and kiteshield, for the banner, get a bolt of cloth from the sawyer and a normal plank. Go to someone's house that has a banner easel and make them at the easel.

 

 

 

Looks like I was a tad late.. :oops:

Not really. I didn't know you had to have a bolt of cloth and plank to make the banner.
