I have a query. I have owned a set of vesta + statius helm for quite some time now, having got it all as pvp drops and deciding it was perfect for a skilling outfit. I have noticed that the alch value for these items is also fairly high (vesta chain being 300kgp). I wonder if you can alch these items AFTER they have started degrading, as obviously this would massively reduce the amount you end up spending on the armour. Id appreciate if anyone can clear this up.

My degrading, corrupted Morrigan's top, with 1 minute to go, turned to 45K or around there with an alchemy spell.

Yeah, thats the normal alch price. I was thinking about it but its VERY hard to figure out how much is left on it.

 

 

 

Honestly, I think they should just give you DP back for its alch value when it degrades or when you die for it. Would make sense imo.

Considering you get a good amount of time of total, owning destruction, you should just earn back the DP yourself :lol:

Do the full versions of it start degrading as soon as you have entered combat, or do they degrade like barrows?

I thought it was 30 minutes, and I can't see them having much love for skilling.

 

 

 

Corrupt pvp stuff is 15 minutes, full pvp stuff is 1 hour.

 

 

 

You may be thinking of corrupt dragon items, which I belive are 30 minutes.

 

 

 

To quote Mod Raven off RSOF

 

 

Corrupt dragon equipment has the same stats as normal dragon equipment, however each item is severely damaged. As such you will only be able to wear these for 30 minutes before they crumble to dust.

 

 

 

 

Corrupt pvp armor/weapons (vesta, Zurial, etc) are 15 minutes, Corrupt Dragon is 30. I should have been more specific.

Good point xD However, they have capped the max number of kills you can have from potential to 5 after last update... why not O.o You'll probably have used up your DP in the time you used it.

 

 

 

Okay for those that don't know how the pvp items work:

 

Corrupt items degrade when worn, as soon as they are worn. It's checked to see if you are wearing a corrupt item every 10-15 seconds I think. Don't take my word for this cause I don't have much experience at all with this.

 

 

 

Normal items degrade in combat, and then its like barrows in a way -- but if you are in combat and the item is in your inventory, it still keeps degrading. The only time it doesn't degrade is when you are either not in combat or it is not in your inventory. Yes, you can wear it and it won't keep degrading.

PVP armours can give people massive advantages, or just a plain awsome skilling outfit.

 

I choose to use it for the latter.

it depends on what armor you are PKing with... :thumbup:

So if I go into combat with pvp, put on rune while I'm in combat, it continues to degrade?

Only if its corrupt.

My vesta armour pk vid.. It's mad, I also use PvP armour at FFA bosses like bandos and corp beast.

I'll be blunt here - I'm no PvPer, but for 1.3-3.3M, you can have a set of armor that surpasses most Barrows equipment in every way, and it looks cool while doing it. So long as I don't run into a random that actually attacks me (and I seriously doubt I will), I've found my new Smithing outfit. :P

 

 

 

It's great armor, [relatively] affordable, and gives impressive combat bonuses. Why isn't this stuff more popular than the norm on PvP worlds?

Why the hell would you want to look good in a game, nobody cares about it.

because i like my character to have a unique look that isnt the norm.

 

 

 

aka full bandos with ags/fire cape etc etc

 

 

 

instead ive got full vestas with ags etc etc

Why the hell would you want to look good in a game, nobody cares about it.

 

 

 

Of course people care about it.

I also use PvP armour at FFA bosses like bandos and corp beast.

 

So thats why I can't ever find the Corp world. Cause SS has to keep hopping from people like you.

Wrong, if its normal pvp armour and you have rune on with the pvp armour in your inventory and you are in combat, it will still degrade.

Perhaps it is a way for them to boost their confidence.

Explain this statement again? This piques my interest - and probably explains why all my drops are trash now -.-

Nobody likes to look like a noob, you included.

My spottier cape, glory and lightning boots are good enough, and it looks ugly as hell, but it's practical, so I don't care.

Basically, hotzone time previously capped you off at 1-3 kills, for like people 20-80 it was 1, 80-110 was like 2, and higher was 3. Thats just guesses but I know it worked like that by levels. And well, that was kinda annoying, wasn't supposed to happen. You were supposed to get more kills as you got more hotzone, and a max of 5 from hotzone.

 

Also, someone was getting 15 kills for 1 hour of hotzone for some reason, so that had to be fixed too.

 

 

 

Now its a total max of 5. Compensation, hotzone, etc all combined will only max you 5 kills. I'm still working to figure out how exactly this new system works. It was apparently all an arithmetic error... But at least pures can get more than 1 kill on high at a time now. Cause seriously, pure pking was going to crap.

as soon as this hits like a mil a piece ill look into it because if not its too pricey : and not economical \

It already is less than a million for any piece of armour.
