Please convince me to replace these items...

[samcowcow]

I am a lv133. 99 att str and def, 99 magic as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In most of my friend's view, i am a high level and rich person (more than 100m cash and some stuffs)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

however, until today, I am still wearing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune platebody

 

 

 

Rune leg

 

 

 

Rune Defender

 

 

 

and a Glory ammy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they ask "why not get bandos armor...dfs..or fury...or at least barrow armors??"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really don't know how to reply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But here is my view:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune body: It's good enough because I am using bunyip, fire titan or unicorn when doing slayer.

 

 

 

For boss or ranging tasks, I just wear black d hide..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune leg: same as above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune def: I think DFS is really good, but they change in price too much, so at the moment I am

 

 

 

happy with defender, can hit 35-41 with whip when drink super pot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glroy ammy: When doing prayer or boss tasks, I use guthix stole. When doing normal melee or

 

 

 

ranging tasks, I use glory ammy. People say fury is good, I agree, but 2m is a bit much for it...?

 

 

 

I guess?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am still trying to convince my self that these views are wrong, so please help me if you have some opinions :oops: thank you...

u r not rich.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wearing Rune = 100mil cash

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But u can buy barrows, etc. and eat less food, heal with guthan, heal with sgs, more hits, because more str bonus = faster killing = more kills= more drops= more money...

[tryto]

You've answered part of your question already; you agree that a fury is better than a glory, a dfs is useful, and anyone can see that bandos is better than rune in every way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have 100m in cash you say. Are you using it at all, or is it just sitting in your bank? If it's just sitting there unused, why not purchase better equipment with it? Then you'll make use of your money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't see a reason to not use some of the better equipment available, helping them speed up their training, when they have no use for the cash anyways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can see I don't need to convince you of the superiority of other equipment; you've done that yourself in your posting.

I don't think i m rich, too lol compare to those who has 900m....or more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but your method is really reasonable...I might consider doing it when SGS doesn't drop that much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthan been dropping a lot,too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you :oops:

yes they are sitting in my bank and growing slowly lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thank you for the opinion...it's really touching me :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really want bandos since they are really good in both defence and offence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope they could settle in price soon :oops:

[Inuashakent]

Alright, while slaying, ALWAYS try to use a Combat familiar. Yes, this does mean you don't have infinite hp... which already is a good reason to get Bandos/Barrows. Also, you should try to use at least 10% str when possible, which is definetely a good reason to get V skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously, Fury gives MUCH more bonuses than glory, get that ASAP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune def > DFS, you simply cannot sacrifise the offense the Defender gives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2m is too much for lots of sttr bonuses, 10+ defense, and 5+ attack? (IIRC)... It's the best item you could possibly get cost wise. GET THIS NOW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Order to get items...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barrows > Fury > Berserker ring > Bandos

The way I see it, don't worry about the price. Buy the item and keep it. With 100m, you should definitely invest in a fury at the VERY least.

Good... defense? FAILURE. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a more serious note, do what Morning said. Buy it, and keep it. Sure, you lost some potential cash, but do you ever actually lose any...? No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly, Bandos isn't all that people make it out to be. The top is better than Barrows (But if you Piety, use Proselyte), but the tassets is usually outdone by V skirt.

[Moad14]

Heck, if nothing else, get a fury. That's the one piece of equipment I never take off.

 

 

 

Since you just have a pile of cash, you might as well upgrade your other equipment as well, but I'm not one to talk. I've got plenty of money and still wear rune. :P

[davidium]

like you i'm high level and moderately rich (i had around 130m but now i've around 160m from merching in f2p =P) but yea i don't spend on too expensive stuff either...i don't wear a fury cause i think the price difference is a bit too much =S but i obviously don't wear rune...lol rune is for people below level 60... i usually wear torag or guthan...oh wait i think i do wear rune chest sometimes :ohnoes: but never rune legs...i use a drag skirt instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but barrows is really much better than rune for it's cost which is why i use it but only when necessary...i mean with maxed out melee, the only occasions when i really need barrows is when i'm fighting nechs, gargoyles, black demons or other hard hitting creatures...for things like greaters and fire giants i don't really bother :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as for dfs i've always used drag sq or rune def but with price falling i might consider getting it when i become memb again...dfs provides so much more def and using a rune def against nechs might not be that wise...at the very least using it against metal drags will save u quite a bit =)

[marap]

Alright, while slaying, ALWAYS try to use a Combat familiar. Yes, this does mean you don't have infinite hp... which already is a good reason to get Bandos/Barrows. Also, you should try to use at least 10% str when possible, which is definetely a good reason to get V skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

slayer maniac :lol:

[samcowcow]

Thank you guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But could you explain the part about

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

V skirt > Bandos Tasset?

 

 

 

Also, you should try to use at least 10% str when possible, which is definetely a good reason to get V skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune def > DFS?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

another question is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am using a warrior ring, because many ppl said zeker isn't worth it

 

 

 

when it only gives +1 max hit. So i have been using it...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and is Fury really that good against glory ? :oops:

[Master_Smither]

I'd buy the DFS and the fury for the fact that the fury is some nice cheap bonuses and the DFS makes you get hit way less and well it gives a better str bonus than defender.

[Slayer_Jesse]

Thank you guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand now.

V skirt > Bandos Tasset?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The +2 str of tasset isnt really worth it. puls i think it looks ugly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, you should try to use at least 10% str when possible, which is definetely a good reason to get V skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rune def > DFS?

 

 

 

 

 

 

for most things yes, but its very usefull for those hard hitting tasks.

use a ring of wealth on monsters that have good drops, and berserker on ones that dont. warrior ring is even worse than berserker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and is Fury really that good against glory ? :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes, fury owns. its looks so muich more awesome too.

 

 

 

[samcowcow]

thank you :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that explain everything!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but I thought Warrior ring gives +4 attack bonus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rather than zeker +1max hit..?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or am I wrong lol

[pulli23]

thank you :)

Well I dislike these rings completely: most tasks you get you'll hit enough anyways (making the warrior ring obsolete), and a +1 max hit means (in case you always hit) on average +0.5 more hitting. I rather have better drops and always wield a ring of wealth.. Especially for charms you will NOTICE the increased number of charms. (yes it's easily noticable if you compare 4-5 tasks of each at things like dust devils).. There's a pretty steady 10% increase in charm drops. Something I consider very important!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to the verac vs bandos: well if you pray verac is more usefull. (prayer bonus is considered more worth than strength bonus). - However I often forget/don't want to slap on that pray the whole time, and in that case bandos is better. Verac is better if you're "hardcore" slaying and paying a lot of attention: bandos is better for the relaxed slayer style (I always attack an monster and then browse some forums untill I don't hear anything anymore).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also if melee praying: proselyte beats veracs there :P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However I have to say: I range 90% of my tasks.. And I'll always go "safespotting".. So I would strongly advice you to get void ranged (or armadyl).. And start pelting those broad bolts at the monsters.

[ladycai]

Why not just use torso for strength bonus? If you heal most of your HP back anyway?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it has a higher crush defense as compared to a platebody anyway.

no, it has addy plate defence with rune plate shash.

[Randox]

You of course realise you could buy full dragon with a Dragon Full Helm and swap the Drag sq for a DFS and still have money left right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now if you are devoted to cheep quality armour (that dosen't sound right but anyway), sell your rune and get rockshell, its cheeper and you lose 5 summoning. You also get to look different.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A DFS fluctuates to much...you dont watch the price of a whip do you...it continualy cycles between a high and low price wholly independant of updates (pvp forced a large rise but if falls already). If I were more inclined, I could make a killing off of whips because I know the price changes. You can (a) Watch the DFS and figure out about what the min price is and buy the next time it gets there (and buying when it is still falling in infinatly easier than buyin on the first day it rises).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coming back to the rune armour for a minute, if one of those skill capes of yours has yellow in it (I neither know nor care), you need to get yourself some guilded armour. I forget the cape but its practicaly tradition (might be prayer). When you get Hp I suggest full drag with DFH.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For combat, you can either get bandos (or barrows but I dont like barrows so...), or if you really want to knock the pants of people (figuratively), get 3rd age melee (and skip the full drag).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heres my argument: First what you wear is every level 80s armour because they can't do any better. Your armour blows worse than mine and I am level 95+6 with all of 2m on hand (well, actualy less because alot is in my kingdom.

[samcowcow]

ring of wealth?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

does it increase charm drops? I'll have to try :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rockshell is a good idea! since it has same defence as rune armors...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll get fury, and verac skirt!
