Underrated Items

[Kenneh]

My old favourite, the D Sqaure :D

 

Awesome defence bonus if you can't quite make the cash for a DFS or similar

[The Runar]

* Rune Defender is very easy to get nowadays (when I first got to Warriors' Guild it took me 2-3 hours to get Iron, but about a year later I got all from steel -> rune in 1 hour). And it's a very good item :)

 

* RFD gloves. The weaker ones cost next to nothing and they give extremely high bonuses for gloves (addy gloves are 3k and I think they give +8 to attack/defense/strength bonuses)

 

* Bronze knives are a very quick way to train range and with attractor/accumulator they are even better. They cost 14-15 gp at the GE and they're very quick. Myself I use Iron darts though because I made them when I got 50 smithing for Legends'.

 

* Stealing Creation morph-tool - Crazy xp for many skills, and easy to get.

[JustAGamer]

When used with the d-battleaxe spec: ordinary restore pots.

 

 

 

Only cost like 60 coins. :roll:

 

 

 

Salve Ammy/Salve Ammy (e): only really used by those training on giant skeles/play shades of mort'ton a lot.

[The Runar]

Combat potions are awesome for melee training, they're attack and strength potion combined! And cost is next to nothing :)

Silverlight against demons on F2P.

 

I can't confirm this, but I think it's as strong as a rune Scimitar on demons...

 

 

 

Believe it or not I used to be f2p and I tried silverlight out on "real" demons after finishing demon slayer just like everyone else did and I'm reasonably sure it sucked

 

 

 

it's slower and less accurate than rune scimitar/longsword so isn't really worth it.

[JustAGamer]

Ooooh, thought of a good one.

 

 

 

Has anyone said Lunar staff? +15 mage attack bonus, +3 prayer, and autocasts normal magics.

[Vincent]

as long as we're discussing this; zogres and skogres are underrated, the ooglog pools grant immunity from disease for a fair amount of time, making that much easier and the bones you can get; fayrg, raurg, and ourg give a huge amount of prayer xp especially if buried in the wilderness while wearing prayer brawling gloves at midnight on a full moon. of course the bones are not cheap either; kind of an alternative for dragon hunters if they get tired of revenants.

[Hevendor_Guy]

Welfare gear.

 

:lol:

i got uh 18 with my rune scim and 21 with my silverlight both without potion and pray

 

 

 

though accuracy of scim is way better

 

 

 

@justagamer

 

salve is used a lot

 

armoured zombies,ankous,abberant spectres

 

 

 

lunar staff doesnt have air,fire,water,or earth rooms thats why it isnt used

[siim]

Sanfew's Serum. It is a combined super restore pot and super anti. It doesn't restore summoning points, though and is fairly expensive. Still, they are simply amazing for DK's and Zammy GW.

[bedman]

My old favourite, the D Sqaure :D

 

Awesome defence bonus if you can't quite make the cash for a DFS or similar

 

 

 

D squares defence: like 2-5 (not sure on exact numbers) higher than rune kiteshield.

 

DFS: 20-30 higher than rune kiteshield.

 

 

 

D square is junk. (I had one though, till recently)

[neonnutter93]

The humble tuna has to be myy under-rated player of the item leagues. only 80-ish gp, yet heals just under a lobster. rarely seen in p2p combat.... :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Outsanity]

Holy Wrench.

 

 

 

When you're doing a task that requires constant prayer, you're simply crazy -not- to bring one. The additional +1 prayer / sip means that if you're a level 80 prayer player (which is quite high), you're getting one free sip per 7 prayer pots. On a standard Metal Dragon trip, that means you're getting 2-3 sips for free.

 

 

 

if you have -lower- prayer, it's even more effective. If you have level 60 prayer, then you effectively get one free sip per 5 prayer pots, and a full four-dose prayer pot per trip. So you can waste a free pot if you like, but me... I'll take the freebie!

 

 

 

Oh yes, thats so true... I think i should be brinign my holy wrench with me. Thanks for explaining to me. And aslo, thanks to the author of the thread to enlighten me of that you get free 30 low alchemy per day from the ring >.<.

 

 

 

My item of choice is the holy Wrench.

 

~Bomb~

 

 

 

Actually, if you're over level 50 prayer the wrench boosts the prayer restore by +2, not +1. So for every prayer potion you're saving +8 prayer points. If one potion sip at level 99 without the wrench restores me 31 points, then it will mean every 4 potions I drink I will save 1 potion dose. So for every 16 prayer potions, you will save 1 potions, or (at the moment) roughly around 10,000 gp. If you're like me, and go through 100+ pots in a week, then you'll probably save like 40-50k a week in prayer potions.

[Danqazmlp]

Broodoo shields are a definate underrated item.

 

 

 

Prayer bonus, mage defence, slight melee defence, slight mage attack, for less than 20k.

Shade's robes- I had about 10 sets in my bank, and got tired of them sitting there, so I took them out to give them a once over before alching.

 

 

 

They're not as good as monk robes, but if you have them laying around, they're good enough.

 

 

 

but the main selling point for me, is that their value on death (hold a few and look at your items kept on death screen) are 7k for tops, and 5k for bottoms. their alch value is 24 and 18 gold respectively.

 

 

 

When i want to build up DP, I just take a few sets of robes to make up 26k, they're high value, nontradeable junk that are super easy and fast to get from shades. for people who dont want to actually risk any of their items, just go kill shades for half an hour*, and you'll have a full inventory of shade robes to risk.

 

 

 

sure its easier to just risk some gold, but if you have shade robes kicking around, or dont want to actually loose any money, just grab some shade robes and do whatever you wanna do.

 

 

 

 

 

* shades have literally NO defence, a rune scim hardly ever misses, they die so fast they might get in 3 hits, and its very easy to pray against them for however long you need. I'd say they're better exp than spiders, but i havnt spent enough time at either to verify- its worth a try though. kill a few, they die so fast its scary.

Shades are absolutely terrible XP. You could be hitting constant 20s and they'd still be terrible XP.

 

 

 

This is because XP is reduced to 1/16 of normal: http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2monster_id=170

Sounds like instead of making a new shade monster, Jagex threw a few spawns of the shade random event in the dungeon. Sounds pretty lazy if you ask me.

I'm pretty sure that the second bonus point comes at level 76(which is why I personally have 76).

Gasp, Wall of text. First of all, I love this item aswell, holy wrench I always tend to take to prayer-heavy things. If I need slayer on 100% of the time, holy wrench is there. I was never sure. It is not on tip.it, not at the item-database or at the prayer-skill-guide. So .. testing needs to be done haha. For both prayer as super restore.

 

 

 

My most underrated item, by far, would be God Stoles. Tough many high levels use this (or don't) I find this item amazing. It is far better then a glory on those prayer-intensive tasks. Only thing favored over the Godstole is the fury. Currently the guthix stole costs a mere 16k on GE. Amazing prayer bonus at the cost of.. a little attack style. The 1-2 hits you take longer to kill the mob, you get back by 10-20 seconds of extra prayer time.

[Skeptical]

Gotta say I agree witb the ER3 - good for members even high lvls, any why would any non-mem wear anything else?

[z0diark]

Fighter torso - only takes about 5-6 hours to get the best str exp armour to wear around your chest and it doesn't cost 10m+. Yes it has crap defence bonuses but there are many circumstances where I don't need the extra def boost :)

 

 

 

Great Orb Project - alot of people say that this minigame is rubbish but it is fun, is a good source of money and can seriously help boost your runecraft training.

 

 

 

Rune pickaxe - at castlewars, very helpful for mining the rocks :)

 

 

 

Cannon - alot of people are worried to use this while slaying because they don't want to upset people. It is a great boost to slayer exp and should be used as often as possible :)

 

 

 

Enhanced excalibur - already mentioned but this thing is immense and removes the need for a saradomin godsword while slaying

no, sorry, that's actually Overrated.

i agree with this, it's a quality game

specific use that not many people think to use, but as a whole I'd say it isn't underrated...

 

Cannon - alot of people are worried to use this while slaying because they don't want to upset people. It is a great boost to slayer exp and should be used as often as possible :)

 

I don't know any serious slayers who dont use a cannon... therefore, I don't think it's so underrated...

no, sorry, that's actually Overrated.Not really, it is underrated amoungst higher level players. For example, whilst slaying any creature it is a fine substitute for any barrows chest piece. While pking it is overrated.

I don't know any serious slayers who dont use a cannon... therefore, I don't think it's so underrated...I think that the cannon could be underrated due to the cost associated with it. Few people know that while slaying you usually break even with the cannon or suffer a small loss.While I'll admit that serious slayers know this the rather new slayers don't and since the newer slayers outweigh the "serious" slayers we might call it underrated. It is also underrated for solo training of range. Also, I'm at 86 slayer and I don't use a cannon. ;)
