Darksin68 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Worth it ? / Not worth it ? How long will it take ! Also looking for a good Barbarian Assault team ! Maybe Some other player looking to get a torso PM me and we'll figure something out Worth it if you have high defense. The defensive stats are equal to a rune plate (or is it addy?). There is a +5 strength bonus for it. It will take about 6 hours. Current Whip Drops: 9 Current D Boots drops: 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuashakent Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The only reason? It's simply not worth it. Just stick with Barrows. If you care so much for fast xp that the str will give you, don't. The time wasted getting the torso will not even come close to the amount of time saved from combat, let alone the time spent banking for extra food. Plus, Fighter torso is just plain sucky... look at the defense. Most people argue that it's free but... It's NOT free. If you call 6 hours worth of time free, then you're mistaken. BADly. There is almost no reason to use it. Trust. Me. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is almost no reason to use it. Trust. Me. Got it, but i still think it worths. I use my torso on slayer, random training, pvp stuff and i think its great (maybe cause i got DFS)... Anyways if you think worths to spend 6 hrs on it..get. Or if you not willing to spend 6 hrs on it...dont get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuashakent Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 DFS + Fighter torso? Seems a bit contradictory... Sure you're maxing out on Strength but if you look at the big picture, you'll see that the 19 Attack from Rune defender far out preforms the 2 extra Strength from DFS. Instead of all that wasted money (and time), buy yourself a Barrows top and a Rune defender. You'll kill a LOT faster, and your defense will still be up to par. Even if the Torso took 0 hours, it'd still be as useless as it is now. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It is NOT WORTH IT AT ALL!!! DON'T GET IT!!! Tell why not... Because the barrows plate surpasses it in any area that requires defence, and proslyte top surpasses it in any place that requires offense (+10% prayer). Even at the best training spot, Armored Zombies, proslyte is actually better due to the less frequent prayer charging required. Even hypothetically assuming that we ignore the defence and prayer bonus shortcomings, torso provides roughly (120/4)*2)/100 = .6% faster XP. Assuming it takes 8 hours to learn BH, find a team, and actually get the torso (conservative; I've found that it usually takes over 10 in total time), your spending 8 hours to get .6% faster XP. Therefore, the 99.4% of full XP you would normally get from training for those 8 hours is the equivalent of 7.95 hours of training with a torso; because torso boosts XP by .6%, we can divide 7.95 by .006 for 1325 hours, the amount of training required to make torso worth getting over adamant chainbody (most monsters, including armored zombies, use a crush attack where chainbody is superior). 1325 hours = 132,500,000 XP training at Armored Zombies, along with 251,750,000 GP of profit. So, if you plan on camping for more then 132.5 million XP, torso is worth getting over adamant chainbody. Of course, proslyte plate would blow it right out of the water, and to a lesser extent, bandos - the +1 prayer would by far make up for the cost over the millions of XP, and it can be resold, unlike the figher torso. The torso is entirely unsuitable for PVP, or indeed, any activity besides training, so those need not be considered. Bottom line: Adamant Chainbody is superior to Fighter Torso unless you intend to train for over 132,500,000 XP (132.5 million) XP; if you include rune\bandos\proslyte in that order, they will all by FAR trump the torso. Any other questions? (Yet another campaign against stupidity and endless parroting of incorrect hearsay.

Honetly 6 hours is not much to me and i dont think i could do anything else worthwhile other that questing... Can you afford an addy chainbody? (hint! it sells for min at under 3k!)? Good, then you just saved yourself 2m\4 hours in opportunity cost getting fighter torso sc melee armor 28 pts to get average game of sc 20pts so it takes 1 1/2 games to get plate it doubles exp and gives what 40k extra exp 6hrs Try 30k, 60k doubled. So each piece (that takes 20 minutes to get) earns you 30k extra XP, or 90k total for an hours worth of SC. 1 hour @ Armored Zombies = 100k XP + 190k profit, your paying 10k XP and 190k cash for that hour of SC.

RayOxide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The high level slayers know exactly why its not worth it. Whoever said "use a torso and a dfs" LOL Use a torag BODY and a RUNE DEFENDER. To be brutally honest, in 6 hours you could fund enough money for a huge amount of pray potions, wear prayer armour, and pray chivalry, or piety and get better results. I dont need a siggy no moar.
