doodlebug86 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Just posing a question that has been in my mind for a long time. The robin hood hat has a +8 bonus. Is that really meaningful? While it might be a 10% bonus to the range outfit that has 80 att bonus, it seems like a small difference. I don't range often enough to know the real impact, nor am I as smart as some of you other esteemed warriors. As a follow-up, is the +8 worth a 2.1 mil purchase price?

Hantoumei Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It isn't worth it, because the god coifs have 1 less range bonus, but are generally about 10 times cheaper or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitoz Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It's mostly for looks. Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price.

Zierro Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It's not worth the cash. Zammy Coif is only like 180k and Sara is only about 160k. I'd just get one of those instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It's the best hat a pure can wear. Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHummingbird Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Or just spend a little more and get an Armadyl Helm, best range bonus in head slot in game? 99 Range on 08/25/08!Solo Arma Hilt on 12/06/08! (clicky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Guthix Coif (+7 ranged): 0.1m Robin hat (+8 ranged): 2.1m Armadyl helmet (+9 ranged): 4.8m I don't think the robin hat is worth it. If you're rich enough that +1 ranged is worth 2m, then you should get the birdie hat instead. Although to be fair, the robin hat is easier to wear.

Deathmath Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Good for pures but not that good and fairly pointless for anybody else. An archer helm is good enough for me although I probably should buy a guthix coif at some point...

Dire_Wolf Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Stick with coif or archer helmet. Robin looks good, but dosent make so big difference, atleast i didn't experience that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogwaga Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah just stick to god coif, and with the spare money buy an archer ring. Same range attack bonus as arma helm then for less than 2m. Notable Drops: 5 X Dragon Axe.......1 X D Skirt...............1 X Bandos Platebody 3 X Zerker Ring.......1 X Bandos Hilt4 X Warrior Ring......1 X Bandos Tassets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliceopie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah just stick to god coif, and with the spare money buy an archer ring. Same range attack bonus as arma helm then for less than 2m. My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remadin Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The robin hood hat is for looks, and to show off your wealth. If you want the best bonuses go for god coifs or if your quite rich; an Armadyl helmet will do. Hope this helps, - Rem. :) Please visit our forums !! Click the link!!

drgcdrgc Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Get a god coif or an archer helm. +1 or 2 range isn't going to make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmily Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 As everyone else has said, it's probably not worth the money. I still use one, however, because I only have 61 range. I also just think it looks cute. I did have an archer helm, but it is so ugly that I usually just left it in the bank when I trained range. I finally sold it when I realized I just hated it so much I'd never wear it. That's when I bought the robin. I will probably sell it and buy a god coif when (if?) I get 70 range. At this point, however, I think I lend it out far more than I wear it anyway. I might keep it even after I get a god coif just for that reason.

EWSentinel Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 As far as pure effectiveness goes, I suggest full Range void (gained from PC), as it increases the damage you do, whereas the robin hat's +8 simply increases your chance of not hitting a zero.
