85-99 defence

[warboy789]

hello people of the forums,

 

I have decided to get 99 defence,currently i am 85 defence 60k off 86.

But i need some suggestions of what to kill and the average xp you would expect to gain per hour.

[warboy789]

Here is the list of equipment i will be using.

 

Robin Hood Hat

Glory(4)

Rune Platebody

Whip or Dragon Scimitar

Dragon Platelegs

Dragon boots

Dragonfire Shield

Magic Cape(t)

Combat Bracelet

[gremmy]

Armoured zombies are ~100k exp/hr at maxed melee. Probably 60-70k for you.

Here is the list of equipment i will be using.

 

Robin Hood Hat Why, you're training melee not range; get a Niet helm

Glory(4) Good, unless you can afford a fury (You can, sell the worthless dfs); a salve(e) is also the best at undead training spots

Rune Platebody Fine I suppose, get a barrows top if you're taking too much damage

Whip or Dragon Scimitar Whip since you're training def, rapier if you dung enough before you get 99

Dragon Platelegs Fine, but buy barrows legs if you're taking too much

Dragon boots Perfect

Dragonfire Shield Sell this piece of crap and get a ddef, there's no reason to use a dfs while training melees

Magic Cape(t) Unless you have a sw cape this is fine

Combat Bracelet Barrows gloves, and if you don't have them get them

Responses bolded. Note that this is a tanking setup, you'd probably be better praying piety at someplace like ape atoll or armored zombies than just tanking them. Also I'd get 90 att/str so the exp comes faster for def; I'd also recommend slayer instead of just straight melee training, but that's your prerogative.

 

EDIT: Apparently on another thread you say you have bandos, why the hell would you use rune pl8 and dragon legs over bandos?

[Quyneax]

Use this setup to train on armoured zombies or ape atoll skeletons or another low-defence undead.

 

Void melee helmet > Helmet of Neitiznot

Salve amulet (e) > Salve amulet

Elite void top > Bandos chestplate

Elite void robe > Bandos tassets

Barrows gloves > Regeneration bracelet

Fire cape > Soul Wars cape, Ardougne cloak 3

Void deflector > dragon defender

Chaotic rapier > whip

Dragon boots > rune boots

Berserker ring (i) > berserker ring

 

Obviously if you don't have full void, don't bother with it at all.

 

Slayer is better overall xp, and more effigies. I recommend it over camping one xp-only monster.

[Lose No Hope]

I suggest slayer as it is profit, much less grinding of the same monster, and if you ever max combat and want to train slayer, you will just be wasting exp that you could have gotten while training combat.

 

General setup for slayer if you can afford it:

Slayer helm (dont need to get full slayer helm if you are only meleeing)> black mask

Fire cape>SW/Ardy 3/Skill cape (t)

Fury>Glory

Rapier>whip

BCP>Fighter torso (with verac skirt)/Barrows (except verac)

Dragon defender (should get if you havn't gotten one already)

Tassets>Verac skirt (with torso)/other barrows legs

Barrows Gloves (should always have)

Dragon Boots (should always have)

Berserker (i)/fero ring in kuradel's dung>Berserker

 

Note: sell your DFS and robin hood because neither are needed for melee slayer. Use prossy top and bottom when doing tasks that require protection prayers.

DFS isn't a piece of crap. It just isn't very useful here.

DFS isn't a piece of crap. It just isn't very useful here.

For general training purposes, yes dfs is a piece of crap since there's no monster worth powertraining on that requires a dfs. It's good for some bosses if you don't have an ely/divine, but I doubt he's going to get 85-99 def doing that.
