April 11, 200917 yr Rune defenders are worth it. Other than that, there isn't much else for under 200k.

DFS's are good, of course, as are spirit shields. Broodoo shields are completely underrated and under priced (a few k, sorry I didn't mention earlier), as well.

They give a +5 prayer bonus and a + something magic defense bonus. They aren't great defense-wise, but I like them because they're cheap, although the fally shields sort of replaced them.

They're especially good for a mage in the absence of a godbook because they give a small boost to magic attack.
April 11, 200917 yr Definately get the rune defender, it is currently the best melee shield in the game PERIOD.
April 11, 200917 yr Dude. Why don't you just throw an extra 100k and buy an Obby Shield it gives the same stats as granite but with an EXTRA +5 str bonus.. Ill say.. way worth the 100k. :
April 11, 200917 yr In terms of shields Granite is good low end and for pking in p2p (if you're not rich) Obby shield is the next step up and a fair bit better though still not amazing Godbooks and Broodoo sheilds are a good staple for any mage or ranger Fally shield 3 is THE ultimate prayer tank shield DFS is the outright winner of shields for melee atm. For defensive purposes and the str boost it is the best going. Spirit Shields are total owange for tnaking out defence but unless you stupidly rich not gonna happen Rune defenders are the best shield spot item for when you don;t need the def but could do with more offence Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue
April 11, 200917 yr If you want a shield to tide you over until you get a rune defender then use the obsidian shield. Although it has the same defence stats as granite i believe that the strength bonus is a good way to start. But get that defender asap! Then if you ever get the money get the DFS..... it OWNS! Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D

April 11, 200917 yr By far, the dfs is the best. But, I say save up a little more and get the obby sheild. Defence + strength. once you get the defender, use those. Gained first quest cape on 3/22/09! Gained 99 fishing 5/22/09!I forgot when I got 99 cooking!Proud member of Jovial Rovers
