asianboy7o7 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 it has the stats of a granite shield with +5 strength so its basically +5 strength cost for 250k more than granite spirit shield/rune defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The overall best shield (for melee anyway) is the rune defender. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Rune defender for offense Rune berserker for defence how is a Rune Berserker good for defence? Dragon Sq and Obsidian Shield own it in terms of defence. I'd say unless your realy that stretched for a better shield stick to Dragon Sq or Obsidian Shield for the tad' Str bonus while retaining good Defence. I personally never use anything but a Rune Def' or D Sq. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Spirit Shield = You have to do Summer's End to wield. I hope you can keep your sanity if you attempt this quest. Rune Defender = Solely based on luck. Some people (like me) have spent 1000s of tokens and have done everything right, but still we cannot even get a bronze defender. TzTok-Ket-Dil = Meh. It's okay for low-medium players. +5 str bonus is nice. Dragon Sq Shield = Was hard to sell last time I checked. However, it has some pretty good stats. Doesn't look too bad either. Unholy Book = Zamorak prayer book. Gives a nice +8 to your offensive stats, but +0 to defense stats. Useful for accuracy though, glitchy graphics. Granite Shield = Heavy as hell. Only use one if you are a tanker looking for a cheap shield with crush defense. Crystal Shield = Not worth the hassle. You'll regret crystal equipment because once you use once, there's no turning back. Non-alchable as well. Holy Book = Saradomin prayer book. +8 defence stats. Nothing really to say. Dragonfire Shield = Kick [wagon]. It's rather expensive and costs around 16M GE price. Those are the top shield items that I can think of. I would personally stick with my dragon sq because it's too much of a hassle if the shield won't even sell on min. The stats are already pretty good and the shield has a nice color.

cat666 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Rune defender. If you are getting hard use a different monster or if on slayer task use an Obby shield. Obviously use an anti dragonfire shield on dragons. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romy Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dragon square is pure crap. Don't buy it. If you want any better shields, there are too many to count but here are a few: DFS, Rune defender, promoted spirit shields, heck in some places even unholy books or the Falador achievement diary shield is better... I repeat, dragon square is pure crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsjustagame Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 rune berserk has +4 str, and better defence that obsidian in all but ranged which obsidian is 18+ higher and +1 in str than berserk yeah but obsidian shield never runs out of charges...

The_dmt1234 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 yes for training i'd go obby shield, rune defender if you have decent armour or not fighting something that will hurt you too bad ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick44444 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Don't be discouraged by the comment on how hard the rune def is to get. I got it rather quickly, just kill some armor pieces and gather about 1k tokens and you should get it. It's really useful with the slash bonus if you are a whipper. Wc'ing my way to 99 (Wish me luck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn3090 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Whats all this about obby shield? It's got worse stats than rune kite, and the same strength of a rune defender. If you want the str, get defender. If you want the def, get something else. And it has exactly the same range def as granite shield, which is better than rune kite anyways.

The Dark Lord Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm an unlucky guy I guess. I've gathered about 1000 tokens each run and have spoken to the lady and she said that she will make the cyclopes drop the bronze defender. I kept killing them and running around the room to kill them, but I always get adamant swords, black knives, and other junk. I would love to have a rune defender though, but I just can't get one.
