sees_all1 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I know the F2P game like the back of my hand, but I'm a noob at P2P. What are about 20 pieces or sets of weapons or armour that are tradeable and considered "High level gear" Off the top of my (empty) head, Godswords and Spirit Shields. What else? 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheat Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Bandos and Armadyl armour sets. Torva, Virtus and Pernix armours. I suppose you could consider barrows armours. Dragonfire shield.

Quyneax Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Eh depends, I'd put nex gear, elysian, divine as only tradeable high-level gear, maybe arcane/spectral or niche items such as 3rd age ranged coif. The rest of it is all chaotic/ovl/turm/yak + steel titan and other stats. Of course there's some fairly expensive gear like Bandos, Armadyl, dragonfire shields, claws etc. Godswords are not high-level, they are only used for corping and castle wars, lol.

Soma2035 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Virtus, Pernix, Torva, Divine and Elysian spirit shields. I wouldn't call Bandos / Armadyl high level gear. Nor Godswords.

Alphanos Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hope it's okay to post this link. http://services.runescape.com/m=itemdb_rs/top100.ws?list=1&scale=1 This is the Jagex-provided list of the 100 most valuable items traded within the past 30 days. Most top-level gear should be on there, although some staples like dragon boots are cheap enough that they're not listed. Alphanos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlordjl Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Virtus, Pernix, Torva, Divine and Elysian spirit shields. I wouldn't call Bandos / Armadyl high level gear. Nor Godswords.So, something has to be ludicrously expensive to be high level gear? Bandos and Armadyl are the best non-degrading armors in the game, and as such, they should be considered "high-level." I do agree that Godswords aren't high level gear, though. Frankly, aside from the niche use of Corping, all but the BGS have really no use at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helm_Lardar Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Bandos isn't necessarily the best armour. Guthan's has better defence, for instance, despite it's lack of a strength bonus. I'm not an efficienado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, aside from the niche use of Corping, all but the BGS have really no use at all. Who are you to define high level? And degrading isn't relevant unless the costs are unreasonable, which only applies to the revenant dropped items. Look at Soul Wars cape for instance. It generally takes fairly high skill levels to earn, some amount of skill, a fair amount of effort. And it has unparalleled bonuses for that particular equipment slot. Look at Divine/Elysian spirit shields. They come from possibly the most dangerous enemy in the game (barring Dungeoneering), are extremely valuable, and have good stats along with unique and useful abilities. Now look at Bandos chestplate. Its beaten defensively by Torag's platebody, Guthan's platebody, and Dharok's platebody. Its beaten offensively by Statius's platebody and Vesta's chainbody. Its tied with offensively by Fighter Torso. Its prayer bonus is curbstomped by Proselyte. And it's matched offensively + in prayer, plus completely outshined defensively, by Torva platebody. And then there's Void, which is also a viable option in many cases. It's not hard to get either - last I checked, the whole set costs less than 40M, which doesn't take much time to make at all even if you're low level. Armadyl might be a little bit better on account of it having less competition (we have far less good Range gear than melee). But I definitely don't consider Bandos high level at all. EDIT: Also, I was only listing TRADEABLE high-level gear before, as the topic creator added for tradeable instances. There's a lot of other gear I consider high level that's not tradeable. Elite Void, Ardougne Cloak 3, Chaotic weapons, imbued rings, barrow gloves all come to mind. Want to learn to Nex? The Nex Hunters are recruiting! Click for more information!

Zaaps1 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nex stuff, Divine/Elysian, Chaotics, Bandos, Armadyl, Elite Void (+deflector), Imbued MA Rings, Fire Cape, Fury, Barrows Gloves, Dragon Claws, Bronze Dagger (p+). And then little cheap items such as SoL for general use. Godswords and DFS, while kinda expensive and COULD be useful somewhere, are really outclassed as a blanket statement. ~It's Super Effective!

IHasChicken Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I wanted to do something, so here is the list of the top 2 to 4 pieces of gear for any inventory slot, assuming you have at least 80 in all combat stats, and really the conceivable best bank of any pro RSers. No PVP armours were included because they're stupid and I hate them :thumbdown: MELEE: HELM Torva Helmet > Helm of Neitiznot = Verac's Helm - they each have different uses but they're the only real viable contenders outside of helmets that have set effects (like Dharok's)AMULET Amulet of Fury - best amulet slot due to it's balanced attack, strength and prayer bonuses.LEGS Torva Platelegs > Bandos Tassets = Verac's Skirt = Proselyte Cuisse, Torva for the Strength and freakish lifepoint boost, Bandos for Strength, Verac's for the balance of Prayer bonus + Defence, Proselyte for the pure prayer bonusPLATEBODY Torva Platebody > Bandos Platebody = Guthans/Dharoks/Torags Platebody = Proselyte Plate- same as platelegs.BOOTS Dragon Boots - Always. Don't consider anything else.CAPES Fire Cape = Soul Wars cape - Fire Cape for the strength bonus, Soul Wars cape for the prayer bonus.RINGS Imbued Berserker Ring > Ring of Vigour = Berserker Ring - no real substitute for the Imbued Berserker ring as strength bonus anywhere currently is more useful than attack bonus, and rings don't give prayer bonus. Ring of Vigour is a nice substitute for a non-imbued Berserker RingGLOVES Barrows RFD Gloves - no substitute ever EVER!SHIELDS (non bossing) Dragon Defender no substitute ever EVER!SHIELDS (bossing) Divine > Elysian > Spectral = DFS = Dragon Defender > BSS - get the Dragon defender and either the Spectral or the DFS depending on what bosses you do. A DDef isn't hard to get anyways.WEAPONS (non bossing, not waterfiends) Chaotic Rapier > Abyssal Whip - Not really much else to sayWEAPONS (non bossing, waterfiends or anything else majorly weak to crush) Chaotic Maul > Saradomin Sword/Zamorakian Spear. - nothing to sayWEAPONS (bossing) Chaotic Rapier = Chaotic Longsword = Chaotic Maul = Zamorakian Spear - you should try to get all 4 of these melee weapons so you're set for any type of melee bossing.WEAPONS (non healing special) Dragon Claws > Armadyl Godsword > Dragon dagger (p++) - Simple HeirachyWEAPONS (healing special) Elite Enhanced Excalibur > Saradomin Godsword - Again pretty simple RANGED: HELMET Pernix Cowl > Armadyl Helmet = Verac's helmet - depending if you need tankage or not, both of these helmets are cheap anyways so it's all good. Pernix cowl [cabbage]s on them both thoughBODY Pernix Body > Armadyl Chestplate > Karils Leathertop - pretty straightforwardLEGS Pernix Chaps > Armadyl Chainskirt > Karil's Skirt - again, pretty self explanatoryAMULET Amulet of Fury no substituteBOOTS Ranger Boots > Snakeskin boots - Ranged is too easy to pin down the best gear, mostly because our combat triangle is broken lolRING Imbued Archer's Ring > Archer's ring - SNORECAPE Ava's Alerter > Ava's Accumulator > Ava's Attractor - TOO SIMPLESHIELD Unholy Book = Any of the Melee Shields, follow the order there - If you need defence, go with the shield, if you don't, go with the full unholy book.GLOVES Barrows RFD gloves - Does this need to even be said?WEAPONS Dragon Darts = Hand Cannon = Rune Knives/Darts = Chaotic Crossbow = Karil's Crossbow - Each has their niche use, will change to the situationAMMO Ruby Bolts (e) = Diamond Bolts (e) = Hand Cannon Shot = Rune Knives/Darts = Bolt Racks - See above. MAGIC: HELMET Virtus Mask > 3rd Age Mage Hat > Farseer Helmet > Ahrim's hood - pretty simpleAMULET Arcane Stream > Amulet of Fury - Arcane stream is the [cabbage].BODY Virtus Robetop > Ahrim's Robetop - Pretty basicLEGS Virtus Robelegs > Ahrim's Robelegs - Again, pretty basicRING Imbued Seers > Seers Ring - Again, pretty basicCAPE Magic Arena Cape - No substitute, you don't need pray that much anywhere you mage anyways because who mages really lol.BOOTS Infinity Boots > Mystic Boots - Lol Infnities are so cheap anyways.GLOVES Barrows RFD Gloves - I just realised how boring our glove slot is...SHIELD (when you don't need defence) Arcane Spirit Shield > Mage's Book > Unholy BookSHIELD (when defence is needed) Divine Spirit Shield = Arcane Spirit Shield - A judgement call here, but considering that most magic isnt even used at bosses, who cares?WEAPON Chaotic Staff = Staff of Light = Master Wand - Chaotic staff for Damage, Master wand for accuracy, Staff of light for a nice middle ground and rune savings. MISCELLANEOUS GEAR EVERYONE MIGHT WANT: Full Slaver Helmet - for all of your Slayer needsFull Elite Void with all helmets and a deflector (it's just fun to have TBH)Salve Amulet (e)Fighter torso (for a cheap BCP replacement)Bandos Godsword (idk, if you do a lot of corp???)

Zaaps1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Also, MSB + Rune arrows is better DPS than darts/crossbow in certain instances, I believe, and Karil's xbow is generally 1 step below the handcannon and 1 step above darts. ~It's Super Effective!

Rune knives only have a 40 Ranged Requirement, Dragon darts have a 60 Ranged one. So when people make their crappy little obby maulers, they need rune knives on them. No idea for the other metals.

Youmu Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Actually, disregard my other post up there. I was wrong #-o Rune knives actually have better stats than dragon darts. That explains why they are so expensive then. That and the ranged requirement.

Sir_Squab Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 MAGIC: WEAPON Chaotic Staff = Staff of Light = Master Wand - Chaotic staff for Damage, Master wand for accuracy, Staff of light for a nice middle ground and rune savings. Where do you really need the +3 mage attack or whatever the master wand adds? +3 mage attack is not going to be more useful then the 5% extra damage* sol adds or the 10% extra damage* the chaotic staff adds. The only thing the master wand has going for it imo is that mage pures can use it. *In the magic damage column. Also, what's the amulet of ranging like compared to fury again? Overall your list was pretty damn good but a few areas not 100% accurate. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Overall your list was pretty damn good but a few areas not 100% accurate. When you're PKing, magic attack can often matter more. For instance, while TBing / Entangling, I'd take an extra .5% accuracy over an additional 10% damage (on a wonderful max hit of 30) any day. It sort of applies to Ancients too - you're usually trying to force them to change to mage pray and/or freeze them. You'll lose a lot more kills because you didn't have 20 more seconds to deal damage than you will because the 3-4 casts you used didn't do 10% more damage. Want to learn to Nex?

Saradomin_Mage Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 3rd age ranged is pretty much the same as black dragonhide, which itself didn't make the cut.The coif is just under armadyl, though, in terms of range bonus. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
