Farseer Helm vs Infinity Hat

[Sir_Kurity]

Infinitys much, much harder to get.

 

Infinity looks awesome.

 

Infinity has 25 def requirement.

[Zaps]

Infinity has 25 def requirement.

And this is why I use it. :thumbup:

 

It is the same with Wizard boots vs Infinity boots - A lot of things come down to defence requirement because of iron pures being able to wear the wizard, but not the infinity. and Robin vs Armadyl Helm

Ok, one more challenger

 

Tadaa

 

Since we're going all out for the win, tonight... why not invest in this?

 

Surely, slowing down 9 enemies at a time with Miasmic magiks will definitly give us the edge at the Obelisk?

I was so close to buying Zuriel's Hood and Staff for tonight but after I had spent 9M on Runes and Infinity I decided to call it enough.

Maybe I'll buy the staff though... just for tonight :twisted:

[Aneron]

I even have a healer hat, but I don't wear it due to how ugly it is.

 

if I were training magic again its looks would be solely enough to make me wear it lol

This. I love my healer hats. :thumbup:

[svs]

Bandos mitre gives +6 to magic attack and defence and +4 to prayer, that's even better i expect them to rise even further.

 

I got one myself :D

 

 

I guess infinity is only so expensive because of the time it takes to obtain those items.

[thisisnotforyou]

I think the healer hat is quite stunning. (see what I did there? magic? stun? level 80? haha?)

[Rsdude099]

I'm an avid user of farseer helms, myself. Could change though... :thumbup:

[muggiwhplar]

I prefer ahrim's hood or a god mitre

[Arthu]

I only do combat magic for slayer, so I choose the full slayer helmet.

[timmmmm83]

Thanks to this topic I now know my healer hat gives better bonuses than ahrim hood, always thought they were tied.

No longer Ahrim hood at Ice Strikewyrms for me, ty! :grin:

 

Can't believe I used to go for looks on an online game...

[svs]

I always thought that Farseer helm made you look like some sort of ram.. so I avoided wearing it. Even if it meant paying *Gasp* 5k an hour to use Ahrim's Hood.

 

I think not, but that's your opinion :D

I think them fremmeniks helmets look damn good, horns represent power they don't represent rams.

And the farseer helm looks the best of all :P

 

Here's your ram.

[Pirate_Felix]

Pros use healer hats. Free and better mage attack than farseer or inf. :thumbup:

(And the yes the inf hat is for looks rather than usefulness compared to farseer + it takes time to get infinity but you can always just buy a farseer instantly like stated previously)

Pros own people with monkfish on their head.

[stonewall337]

I actually didn't know about the farseer helm bonus until I read this, even though I have one in my bank. When I didn't want to use my Ahrim I usually just used a mystic hat, which is worse. I guess you never know when information in a thread might be useful to someone.

 

Sorry if this is offending the sensibilities of Mr. Discussion Value.

 

So now that you know, what else is there to discuss? :rolleyes: Everyone's basically saying the same thing: Infinity hats are more expensive because they're much harder to get.

 

Should I make a thread comparing 3rd age coif to Armadyl helm? "Why would anyone buy a 3rd age coif?!1?! The stats are worse and it costs so much more! doesn't make senseuhfrquiwerui[bleep]7rtf794bgtierh"

 

 

This.

Farseer where you don't need offense stats (not pvp, or hybriding something) Mainly bursting lobs, etc

 

Ah where you need the melee stats that you'd lose with farseer.

 

Infinity where you want to look leet, or don't want something that degrades, but which doesn't have negative melees.

 

I don't see what there is to discuss.

The Farseer Helm is only around 45-50K, yet the Infinity Hat is more than 65x that amount but tends to be used more... For what reason?

 

Because it's a pain in the ass to get, and older items aren't exactly scaled properly with newer items. This might be changing in the near future, however, as Jagex has recently shown an interest in changing this (for those who remember the ill-fated climbing boots to rock-climbing boots update).

 

It's like comparing snakeskin boots to ranger boots. It's always nice to know these amazingly smart-spending ways to get comparable gear for lower prices, but there isn't a lot of discussion that can go along with it.
