Bandos Chestplate Tough Choice

Featured Replies

I got a Bandos Chestplate at GWD yesterday and I have no idea what to do with it. I was thinking of one of the following:

 

 

 

1. Keep the Chestplate and save up for tassets

 

2. Sell and buy whip/dfs, so I have two choices of dfs or my gs

 

3. Sell and get 70 Herb, Farm, Construction

 

4. Sell and burst rock lobs for roughly 85 summoning and 96 mage

 

 

 

Any suggestions or alternative solutions would help, thanks.

In my opinion, the chest plate isnt that good, and doesnt really have much uses. For slayer and training im a strong believe in prossy top with prossy legs or verac skirt and pray 10% prayer. Its better then using a chestplate imo.

 

 

 

Tassets are definately not worth getting imo.

 

 

 

Now with that in mind I would sell it. What to spend it on?

 

 

 

DFS is bad for slayer/training and a rune defender does better. So I would not use a DFS unless you want to go to arma alot or something. But if that was the case, Id rather get arma gear instead of the DFS.

 

 

 

Id buy a whip however, as GS is bad for training.

 

Bursting rock lobsters is a decent idea but unless you can consistantly make like 1m an hour id rather get charms from slayer/waterfiends.

 

Getting herb/farm/con wont do you anything that good except total level, but that may be important to you. However getting 70 con and guilded altar is a good idea if you dont have your own.

 

 

 

Other things worth choosing?

 

 

 

Getting 99 mage with plank make (if you want the cape) anything past 96 mage is pretty pointless for the cost in terms of effectiveness.

 

Buying a SS for str training if you are training str is a decent idea.

 

Keeping the cash for summoning to be able to afford 88 straight out. (Unicorn is extremely good)

 

 

 

Those are my thoughts

Buy a whip, don't get a DFS, and then burst your summoning up.

Yup. I went two days before and missed tassets and another BCP until I finally got a BCP yesterday. \'

 

 

 

BTW thanks for your suggestions ilovecardj.

First off, grats, I'm always really unlucky with drops so you've got better lsp than at least one person >.>

 

 

 

BCP is honestly overrated. People just buy it for looks, Barrows Armour is really much better and even though you have to repair it, you can still get in a bajillion uses before the cost adds up to that of a BCP.

 

 

 

I would reccomend Verac's Top and Skirt, that's what I use most of the time. If you're not a fan of praying the 10% prayers or anything like that, then I would reccomend Torag's (or Dharok's, I'm not sure which is better for the cost these days).

 

 

 

But before that, get a Whip. DFS isn't very much worth it either, so I'd just use a defender.

TBH I love my bandos chest. It has decent pray bonus too, and personally I would keep it. However, if you MH more than you slay, sell it, and save up cash for 88 summoning.

1. Keep the Chestplate and save up for tassets

 

 

 

Since

 

so I have two choices of dfs or my gs...

 

you already have gs, bcp is perfect along with tassy

 

 

 

Reason for keeping because...

 

Its very effective in bandos gw :thumbup:

 

looks awesome :thumbup:

 

 

 

Unless....

 

you have fighter torso

 

Or is fine with other setup like barrows

I normally bring zammy cape, neiz, fury, karils top, verac skirt, barrows gloves, d boots, and bandos godsword. I dont think Im really going to need it for gwd because my setup is great now and I dont want to risk too much.

 

 

 

But again it does look awesome...

85 summoning/96 mage
