Kinosjourney Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Well, a couple of weeks ago i was killing obbys. I ate 2 monks so i had 74/80 hp then opened a MSN conversation i had with a friend of mine then i wrote a little and then clicked up my SwiftKit and..Yikes!!!! i had 14 hp left and i paniced and threw my pointer down to my inventory to click a monk but clicked a milisecond to late and i died. I lost gear worth of 1m and my beloved fighter torso....(after i came back there there was 2 noobs who was standing where i died and i said: why didnt you repair my grave?! and they answered, very immaturely: Cause we didnt want to. #-o ) I worked without sleep for 2-3 days at Barbarian Assault to get that torso and now its gone...:( How should i get it back? where do i find a good Barbarian Assault team? last time i did it i got stuck on several noob teams which wasted alot of my time. And how much time will it take aprox to get a torso back? it was a very long time ago i got mine and IDK if they have updated barb assault. :cry: Im going to bed now, ill be back tomorrow to check back on the topic :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMjE Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I got lucky and had decent teams when I went I suggest asking friends? null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuyu13 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Check rsof for teams,or if you're in a clan, ask around. Never bothered with a torso, but did try BA. I had a noob team and it sucked [cabbage]. Don't do if you have a noob team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitstinks Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Takes about 8 hours to get even if youre good Look on rsof or try to say something like "looking for 100+ team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I would suggest asking around your clan and friends list to find a good team, or maybe the RSOF. No idea how long it will take you to get it back though. :-# "Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security."

mister_moocky Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Unless you enjoy barbarian assault, don't get another one. If you had a barrows plate you probably wouldn't of died ;). quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitstinks Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah i think rune and torso are about same stats so don't really mind getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Takes about 8 hours to get even if youre good Look on rsof or try to say something like "looking for 100+ team" Though generally, its best to look in your friends list. I've done BA plenty of times, and the best results is always with friends, with people they know aswell. Of course, we didn't put a limit on their level really, we had basically a few in the 70-100 range, and the rest (myself included) 100+. Its often the team that matters, not the levels. Cause really, 100+ can seriously suck, at least with friends, they're more likely to listen (Two healers often helps too.). Seriously, you don't want the idiot who doesn't call styles. Basically, the ideal team is 1 Attacker, 1 Collector, 1 Defender and 2 Healers. Powerhealing for points at the end of each round is also a good idea. (Leave 5 Monsters alive until the healers have healed a decent amount, with all armour off (unless low leveled), then when the healers say so, the Attacker kills them, preferabbly the Ranged Monsters are left alive, oh and you all gather at the spring). Nman, they are the same defensive-wise, however the torso has the Str bonus, and really, I ended up using it a lot for Slayer, at times when I didn't have it, I used Rune. Why? Despite having Guthans with me, it was overkill to rely on it. I had a Bunyip going, the Rune provides enough defence with Guthans as a backup. Hell, I ended up selling Guthans and taking 5 emergency Taters or Monkfish with me. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitstinks Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well if youre fighting monsters that barely hit you back (jad etc.) you should use that or bandos plate and you'd have to waste actual money on bandos so fighting torso can sometimes be useful.

Sinkhan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I really really hate playing defender in BA. It's quite possibly one of the most annoying roles to take. Anyway, if you do decide on getting a torso, make sure you've got good healers, level 2s or 3s to make sure you consistently win. I find that to typically be the worst part of team I play on. But like many people have said, the torso really isn't worth the time and effort. The +5 stre really isn't that great. The only item I like from BA are the gloves. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinkhan Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 A little lighter thats it That's invaluable when doing things like RCing or farm runs. It lets you wear extra armour or carry your items while still maintaining zero weight.

Dire_Wolf Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 In 2-3 hours i earned 1.5M at Green dragons in Chaos tunnels. Imagen how much I/you can earn in 2-3 days.... With that cash you can buy a Bandos chestplate: - Best ranged defense - Good melee defense, not low and not high - Strength bonus as Fighter torso So i suggest killing Green dragons. Fighter torso is waste of time, you getting damaged easily and die is a proof of it. I rarely use it because it's best suited for monsters that hit 1-5 damage. Plan B) If Greens are very crowded at Chaos tunnels, then try the Blue dragons at Ogre Enclave cave (Watch tower quest required). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinosjourney Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well the reason i want a Fighter Torso is cause it looks good, got the same def stats as a rune plate and +5 strength. Also stop saying: OH GET A BANDOS PLATE INSTEAD. im poor, ive blown all my cash on swordfishes for 90 cooking. Also, i don't have access to Chaos Tunnels if im right. But if Green Drags is 1.5M for 2-3 hours it sounds good, any guides for them around? EDIT: Void dont give any defence bonuses at all, and Proselyte got as much def as a Adamant Platebody if im right with no strength bonuses?

Kiriyama Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Rune Platebody then. Less of a hassle to replace, and just about the same defensive bonus (can't remember if its slightly better in some, or if its worse in some, or equal).

RayOxide Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Barrows plate costs like what 100k to fix by Bob after 16 hours of straight combat. You know, it takes like 20 mins to make 100k, and 2 mins to go fix it. Rune plate is worse than torso by 5 strength bonus I dont need a siggy no moar.

I think torso got 2 less in ranged defence but it makes up for it with +5 strength, also i refuse to use a rune plate, it looks nooby with everyone wearing one. I care more about looks then stats if its a small difference in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
