I just got elysian sigil drop and i want to buy them, but they are extremally expensive.

 

 

 

BCP was 10.5 now they are 12.7m.

 

Tassets was 8.4m now they are 10.5m.

 

 

 

Should i buy them, or should i wait them back to that prices? Because i'm not really sure if they will crash or not.

 

 

 

Thanks

Probably nothing drastic, fewer people are going to GWD and prices are slowly rising across the board. If you want them, buy them.

I am not good at predicting prices, so I would not take my advice as solid, but...

 

 

 

I checked the Grand Exchange last night and in my opinion - they may drop in price eventually, but over the last 30 days they have done nothing but steadily rise in price. If that is any indicator, I personally would say they are probably going to keep slowly rising. But that is just my best guess. I stink at predicting stuff like that.

He's asking what the price will do, not for a list of stats.

To my way of thinking, Bandos armours really only practical application is just to have a good armour that protects you from a certain Gods minions while in GWD. And at a pretty hefty price on top of that. Could someone clarify or correct me on this if I am wrong.

 

 

 

Edit: I agree with you Compfreak, but at the same time maybe they posted this to help in the fiinancial decision making of OP?

 

 

 

Although I realize posts like this tend to mess with you super secret high powered network and lantency and ping times!

I'm friends with him, he knows how much I hate bandos, and I could post 10,000 arguments about how terrible it is, but he's asking what the price will do, indicating he's already decided to buy, and I shouldn't bother spamming up his posts with long winded arguments and run on sentences, unlike some other people on this forum, who don't seem to realize that that's what he wants.

 

 

 

Oh, and I have another screenshot with 8ms ping, but the throughput was slightly lower. I'm very proud of my ping times <3:

Sweet, and enjoy them. Can anyone clarify for me if they do have any other real advantage over another armour other than being a good armour that would protect you from Bandos minions in GWD, and just for the show off factor. Because to me show off factor is pretty much completely meaningless.

 

 

 

As I have been considering Bandos armour purchase myself, if the only real practical application is for protection against Bandos followers it may greatly affect my purchasing decisions.

He asked for information about the price. I could post deep mathematical comparisons of waterfiends vs. dust devils, and be 100% correct and accurate, and STILL be spamming. He asked what the prices were going to do. I said they would probably not change anything drastically, gave some reasons why, and concluded that he shouldn't lose too much on them. He did NOT ask for a list of the stats of bandos + torags,

I see that they have a nice little strength bonus. I am wondering if it is worth the 22 or so million for it though? Could someone give me advice on this? Of course I guess worth is all relative. While someone may think it is worth it, another person will not.

 

 

 

Compfreak. What I said was nothing more than a light-hearted rib at you. Also, and I believe you are speaking to the other person as well. I know I suck at grammar, but I really don't care. I am trying to find out some answers on Bandos as well as was the OP. My point was that the person who posted stat comparisons was possibly trying to help out OP making a purchasing decision based on stat comparisons. OP did make a statement "I just got elysian sigil drop and i want to buy them, but they are extremally expensive."

 

So obviously it sounded as the price was a factor to them.

 

 

 

If a light-hearted rib on an online forum makes you this angry, you really should check in to taking some anger intervention classes. Replying to posts with comments that are not in anyway related to the thread add nothing. If this is any indication of how you react to things in real life, you are going to be exhausting a lot of energy and time fighting senseless battles all your life and causing yourself undue stress.

 

 

 

If no one has any more advice for me on this, or if all we can do is flame each other and pound chests and put others down maybe I should find another online RS community. Sad thing is it probably wouldn't be any different.

*ahem*. There's a reason I quoted someone other then you. I wasn't angry, I just thought it was rather amusing and posted in a superior manor.

 

 

 

In response to you: No, it isn't worth using, I've hashed this out many times during the course of many threads. There is 0 uses for bandos, aside from making cool maxing videos.

Bandos has a few nice uses...

 

Bandos has the highest range defense in the game, so it's the best for wyverns, sara, and bandos soloing(or tankining if you don't use guthans for some reason).

 

 

 

Bandos gives you a total of 6 strength and 2 prayer bonus, as opposed to the 8 or so prayer that you get from veracs top/bottom. I personally used to use veracs because I use the 5% str or accuracy prayer depending on the monster that I'm slaying and veracs made my prayer last indefinately with SGS specs. Using bandos makes my prayer drain rate outpace spec restores by a bit and now I somtiems take an extra p pot along, but it also increases my max hit by 1 I assume and removes the hassle of repairing armour.

 

 

 

If you're asking if bandos is *necessary* the answer is no, it is just not needed at all. However, if the question is whether or not it has any use, then the answer is yes, and since you've recently come into a large sum of money that I'm sure you have no idea how to spend, there's no reason not to increase the quality of your playing experience slightly.

Prayer bonus rules at wyverns, ranging is much better for sara, and risking bandos tassets while soloing for +2 strength (and getting hit a lot more by minions) is just stupid.

Why would you be praying at wyverns? Melee rules there, and I never use prayer other than the momentary bits of piety for d mace specs. Ranging achieves longer trips with more total kills, this is true, but "better" is a subjective term. "Better" could mean faster kills and short trips. I personally don't have time for the 6 hour range trips very often. You're not risking tassets...unless you decide to skull before solo trips for some reason, and they have they same magic malus as barrows, with a slightly greater range defense value. The ony minions hitting you will be range and mage, so I don't see your logic there.

 

 

 

That is, unless you use a combination of karils top/bottom and a barrows top/bottom like I do, in which case you would only substitute the relative piece of equipment, I just assumed that doing that would be obvious enough to be understood without further explanation.

If you earn over 200k per hour, as the OP obviously can, you should be praying at least +10% strength any time you are training. +8 prayer > +4 strength. Ranging also happens to be faster and less risky, I don't know of any advantages to melee.

Flashing piety in bandos doesnt require a ppot for a whole wyvern task even at 70 prayer. If your gonna pray wyverns, do piety.

One final question then I am going to leave this alone. I was more or less figuring as far as day to day combat where good defensive armour is needed that Torags is probably better. I am guessing you are not really saving in an area say like food cost or something by using Bandos? Possibly even using more food?

 

 

 

So say I wanted to buy just one item then for uses such as protection from Bandos followers in GWD. Would Bandos Boots be a pretty good choice even though they don't have the strength bonus like Dragon boots. Or is having tassets or plate going to outperform for your Bandos item and stick with the Dragon boots. I don't think Ancient Mace is really a good Bandos item as it is pretty weak.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help.
