I'm on another equipment buying spree and considering getting some equipment I would love some comments on these, if they are worth the money.

 

 

 

Bandos boots--I currently have dragon and know they have a higher str, but bandos has higher prayer bonus

 

 

 

Seers ring--I currently own beacon ring

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--currently have Legends cape

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

Bandos boots--no

 

 

 

Seers ring--not really, unless you plan on maging

 

 

 

Archers ring yes, but expensive

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--yes, you can always resell it

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?) skirt you should always have, but the set is decent for some stuff like barrows

 

 

 

Guthix cloak no

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear-- ss is better, but both of them are inferior to the whip

 

 

 

Unholy book-- the prayer isn't as useful as the rune defender

- No, Dragon Boots are much better.

 

 

 

Seers ring--I currently own beacon ring

 

- Seers Ring became a lot cheaper. I rarely mage, yet I still bought it. Your choice if you want.

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

- I say yes. (if you have the money)

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--currently have Legends cape

 

- I'd say stick with Legends, but that's just me. (Try getting Skill cape or Fire cape)

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

- Skirt most definitely for Slayer. Whole Set if you like doing other stuff. (I rarely use my set anymore)

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

- I don't think it's worth it.

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

- If you plan on purely training Strength, get the SS. If not, Zammy Spear serves as a good alternative. I have it and use it on Waterfiends.

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

 

- Worth it if you range. But the way pages are priced now, bleh. Get if you want, I got mine when the pages were worth 200k ea. \'

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

D boots all the way

 

 

 

Seers ring

 

Not unless you use magic alot where drops don't matter.

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

Not unless you use range alot where drops don't matter.

 

 

 

Obsidian cape

 

It's cheep so go for it.

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

Verac's is great for player vs player such as clan wars otherwise not realy. As for the skirt I'd stick with torag or dharoks legs.

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

No

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

Saradomin sword is good for training str but I don't see it worth that 6M. Zam spear is only good for corp and waterfiends so no. I'd stick with whip.

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

 

I'd say no but thats realy up to you.

Nope.

 

 

 

Seers ring--I currently own beacon ring

 

If you use combat magic, sure. It's cheap anyway.

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

Yep.

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--currently have Legends cape

 

See my point about the guthix cloak.

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

Get the full set. The skirt is great for melee training and the skirt+helm are excellent for ranging GWD and barrows. The flail and brassard are inexpencive and have some uses.

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

If you're praying, definitely use the guthix cloak. The loss of defence (-6 each I think?) compared to the obsidian cloak is nothing compared to its +3 prayer. If you use offencive prayers while slaying or training, a god cloak is easily a better choice. Once you get a firecape or a trimmed skillcape sell it though.

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

Zamorakian spear is only good for waterfiends (crush) and killing the Corporal beast (stab). SS is good for strength training and waterfiends (crush). Whip and rune defender out preforms both in most situations.

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

 

Best offencive shield for ranging, and a nice prayer bonus, get it. Use a rune defender for melee though.

Junk

 

 

 

Seers ring--I currently own beacon ring

 

You don't need it at all

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

If you have a lot of money left over and you range a lot, then MAYBE. But you really don't need any of the DKS rings

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--currently have Legends cape

 

YES!

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

For general combat, you'll just want the skirt. For boss monsters/range tanking, you'll want the helm as well. Outside of PvP, there aren't many uses for the set.

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

Depends on how you train.

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

Debatable. They're pretty much equal at Waterfiends, although for just strength training SS is obviously preferred.

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

 

If you range a lot, you want this

NO, worthless imo

 

 

 

Seers ring--I currently own beacon ring

 

Only if you fight with magic a lot (rock lobs)

 

 

 

Archers ring

 

YES

 

 

 

Obsidian cape--currently have Legends cape

 

skill cape = obby cape

 

 

 

Verac's set (should I get the whole thing, or just the skirt?)

 

It's really only useful for kq/td/pking/minigames imo

 

 

 

Guthix cloak

 

Um... why? NO

 

 

 

Saradomin sword or a Zamorakian spear--of the two which would be a better choice, and why?

 

Whip > ss (only for str) >> zammy spear

 

(waterfiends are the exception)

 

 

 

Unholy book--I currently have Sara and Guthix books

 

YES
