Armadyl Gear

Featured Replies

I need to know a good shield to use for armadyl, with a helmet. I have Arma plate and legs and verac's helm, but if I use spirit shield, it keeps over arma skirt. Would it be alright to use obby shield or neitiznot helmet?

Wear Karil's bottom.

I like my Arma skirt, are there any other better combinations? I lasted about 50 kills earlier with obby shield but someone told me to use spirit. When i checked it kept over armadyl skirt.

Use a rune kite.

No. Use a rune kite; it has better defence and a lower range attack penalty.

I'll look into it, I think it still keeps over skirt though.. We should lose items according to grand exchange value not general store..

Then the armor/weapon market would be thrown into chaos.

I dont get all the people using granite shields and obby shields at armadyl boss. you are protecting from RANGED. Those shields are ranged defense shields, no need for that when PROTECTING FROM RANGED. jeez

This is RuneScape; what do you expect? Most level 50 members use granite mauls for training. Obby shield has a 60 defence requirement so (stupid) people assume that it is better.

I never said it was better, I wanted suitable gear that didn't keep over my armadyl skirt, but still has alright bonus's. I could even use my falador shield 3 for prayer bonus. For the most part, I want to keep my armadyl skirt on death, without protect from item.

Actually you should use falador. I looked it up and it gives like 30 defense bonus. 7 prayer>15 melee defense.

Uhhh, I remeber that when my bro armadyls his friend lends him armadyl and he lends his friend armadyl so something doesnt protect over it and he doesnt have a chance of losing it..

That is a great technique, but the problem with that at arma is that the next item on the losing list is the plate, so that really does not help much in this case.

 

 

 

You should use zam or sara bracers if you were not already using them, they only have 1 less range attack than barrows, but they have higher magic defense.

 

 

 

Use a stole over a fury, the drop in range bonus does not mean much, the loss of defensive bonuses is a bit bad, but 5 more pray and the ability to keep one more expensive item outweighs that.

 

 

 

Even with that...you will still be risking the skirt if you have a decent setup, but honestly with graves that should not be so much of a concern...I'm pretty sure that a rune kite would protect over arma(it alchs for like 15k I think :wall: )...you could always go with a zam book, and I destroyed my falador shield within minutes of getting it, so I wouldn't know anything about that.

Blessed spirit shield alchs for 840k, 53/55/73 def, no attack penalties, 2 mage def, and +3 prayer. Better everything then rune kiteshield and you'll keep upon death.

He wants a shield that WILL NOT keep over his armour. So, a low alch value is the goal here.

I'd rather use karils and a bss then arma skirt and a rune kite.

Karils with the blessed shield would give you...

 

-47 range att

 

-117 slash defense(pretty sure kilisa uses slash)

 

-102 magic def

 

-3 pray

 

 

 

Arma with a rune kite would be...

 

-51 range att

 

-122 slash def

 

-109 mage def

 

-2 pray

 

 

 

That is disregarding the bonuses of your other gear, obviously.

 

 

 

I would not go with either, by the way, just presenting the facts.
