Rune Armour Alternatives

[InfamousDuck]

Ive nearly reached level 60 Defence and Im planning to buy dragon boots, skirt and med helm. I cant afford shield or chain so I want a shield and top that is better than rune and are bout 300k each at the most.

[asianboy7o7]

dont buy dragon legs or med they are garbage...

 

 

 

stick to rune and berserker/helm of netz

 

 

 

shield:obby shield

 

top:rune plate

Torag's platebody is about 212k but you have to repair it every 15 hours of solid combat.

 

The Obsidian Shield(Toktz-ket-xil) is just over 300k, and gives a strength bonus though has slightly worse defensive stats than a rune kite.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

He can't wear barrows he's not 70 defence.

 

 

 

Like Asian said, don't waste your money just keep up with rune and save your money for barrows at level 70 defence. Barrows will be the best armor you could every put on so that's pretty much what you should do.

 

 

 

Don't waste your money on an Obby Shield either, stick with a rune kite and keep training until you can get into the Warriors Guild. Once you are in there then get yourself a rune defender ASAP. (If you haven't already)

Oh ok, didn't read properly :wall: you can use the shield at 60 defence anyhow and try the Fighter Torso instead, though it can be hard to get, it offers good offensive stats.

[Sid Icarus]

- Top: Granite body.

 

- Shield: Toktz-ket-xil or rune defender if you can enter warriors' guild.

 

- Legs: Dragon plateskirt is 500k cheaper than legs and has the same stats.

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.
