HexiledRazz Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Okay, so i recently sold all of my High-End expensive novelties (Full D'H, Zerker Ring, Dragon Axe, Full A'H, Ect.) and uncovered a hidden 11M. I was suprized how much i still had in wealth considering all of those things dropped dramatically since i bought them. And since i have enough to buy one piece of bandos(I'll have enough for the Chest Plate if i sell all of my MTK resources) and I'm tempted to do it. What I'm wondering if this will be a good idea. Right now i use Dragon Platelegs + Fighter Torso/SC plate for slayer/Basic monster killing. And Guthan's Body/Verac's Skirt for minigames and high-end slaying. If i get one piece of it, i might be pressed to save cash for the other piece. Or, i might just leave that Dead-Cold(i have no idea, my mentality is completely unpredictable). Anyway, if i buy the Tassets, I'll have about 1M - 2M left over. If i bought the chest piece, I'd have close to nothing left.That is, If i didn't have to make an extra 500k+ to afford it. So, in light of all of this, i ask you: Should i save and see what prices do? Or buy one or the other and see what happens? -Thanks! Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

gorgoroth Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 To be honest, no item is worth buying if its going to leave you broke. Just keep using Dragon Platelegs and Fighter Torse till you have enough money to buy a Bandos item without being broke afterwards. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing nothing but farming ranarrs all day. So, if that's how it ends up. It doesn't seem like it's that far off. Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

Because tassets would be awesome for tanking at Aviansies.(can go over a little to the bandos section and has killer range def) Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

HexiledRazz Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 EDIT: I was going to anvains, so i thought I'd put in a offer for tassets on med just to see if I'd get lucky. When i switched tabs on Mozilla, and saw this: Guess I'm tanking anvains in those sweet tassets; Because they're finally mine! Hexiled Razz. Player since March 8th, 2005.

gorgoroth Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 ^ ^ ^ I misunderstood your post. For aviansies Torags would be the best IMO, but for Melee combat Bandos will still be the best because of the Str+ Bonus. Buying Bandos simply for Aviansies is a big waste. Ive never ever seen anyone using Bandos at Avies. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Kurity Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Because strength bonuses mean alot. Seriously, some bonuses are naturally worth more than others. Strength is worth more than defence (bonus) Plus, they look cool. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Because strength bonuses mean alot. Seriously, some bonuses are naturally worth more than others. Strength is worth more than defence (bonus) Plus, they look EPIC. This, after a few modifications of course. They are good, but I can't afford both halves without being broke. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus is why this is the Help And Advice forum. So, if you have nothing useful to type, keep your fingers to yourself. Thank you Post 1: Should I buy bandos tassets, chestplate, or not buy either? I'll only have 1-2m after purchasing them, and I need your advice. Post 2: No, you'll be broke after. RE post 2: Yeah I well, but I am trying to make money. Post 4: Yeah, if you have to buy one get tassets. RE post 4: Ok. RE post 4: Yeah, if you have to buy one get tassets (again). Post 7: Ok. By the way I bought tassets. You clearly had your mind set on buying something before you made this thread. No one even suggested you buy them, yet you insisted. You waited for a yes or no answer from 1 person, who said no. You had even already sold your valuable items for the cashpile.

Zaaps1 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Don't just go running off and buy it. That's not the smart way to do it. You'll want to see if it actually DOES anything for you. The Chestplate is good, however the tassets are just trash. The Chestplate is marginally worth it (although not if you have virtually no money left over), but the tassets are simply put, terrible for their cost. Check if the +2 strength even does anything for you. +4 almost always does, although +2 is skeptical. The attack bonuses aren't worth the cost either. A much better setup is the chestplate with torags legs (or dh or guthans or veracs, whichever one is your preference. It's veracs personally though). ~It's Super Effective!

compfreak847 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Chestplate is terrible, I honestly cannot think of a SINGLE use for it. If you need defence, use torags. If you want to kill faster, wear proslyte and use +10% strength. Tassets are beat in every situation by veracs skirt.
