1 def pure...is there better armor?

[sparky697]

Hello to all. First, let me say I love to pk in f2p, but I obviously like training in p2p better. I am currently using iron helmet, strength amulet, obby cape, iron plate, iron kite, black dragon chaps, black dragon vambs, and iron boots.

 

My question is, is there any better helmet, shield, or platebody that will give me any better defense bonuses? i'm well aware that a higher defence level would be the simple solution, but I would like to keep 1 defense.

 

Also, I'm not a fan of doing quests, but if the quest is easy i may consider it.

 

Thanks for the input.

I think the regen bracelet might be your best option for the wrist slotp

[sparky697]

better than the warrior ring?

[Dusk Souls]

The bracelet would be in place of the black d'hide vambraces.

[sparky697]

ahh yes...ok. made that change lol.

I know you're only asking for helm/shield/plate, but I believe there aren't any better alternatives for you in those categories. Regen bracelet has no requirements, and you can also get climbing boots if you get ~3k attack xp (idk your setup, might ruin it, might be fine). Can't think of any better strength alternatives than the ones you have. And obviously, fire cape when you're strong enough

Yes. Bearhead (helmet) gives the same defence bonuses as Mithril full helm. You need to do the quest mountain daughter to get it.

 

Also you should get adamant gloves (recipe for disaster), climbing boots (death plateau) and Unholy book (horror from the deep).

you can also get climbing boots if you get ~3k attack xp (idk your setup, might ruin it, might be fine).

 

Death Plateau changed. The quest is much shorter, and instead of the attack experience you get lamps.

 

On topic:

 

The armor for 1 def pures is pretty standard. You best ignore your defence and work on maximizing prayer bonus/offence bonuses so you can pray against everything and still maintain your damage output.

 

However, i'll list the best defence setup in case you're still looking for it:

 

Helm: Bearhead

Plate: Iron platebody

Legs: Black hide chaps

Boots: Iron boots

Gloves: Culinaromancer's gloves 7

Cape: TokHaar-Kal

Neck: Amulet of Fury

Ring: Warrior's ring(i)

Shield: Iron kite

Weapon: Chaotic staff

 

This will give you a slash defense of +121. Which doesn't really block anything at 1 defence. But it's what you asked for ;)

Fury gives much better defense and accuracy than strength.

The new nooby capes you get from the troll place are best for training as they give accuracy bonuses. Fire cape or even rhino cape are obviously much better, but may be difficult to get on a 1 defense pure (but certainly possible!)

Rock climbing boots give +2 strength.

Regen bracelet gives +7 strength and +8 accuracy, and +8 in all defenses. It's actually a tiny bit BETTER than the addy gloves that require tons of quests, but people want addy so bad because they're 5k to replace instead of 120k so are much better for p2p pking.

Zamorak book gives +8 for all attack accuracies, it's a shield item.

Berserker ring gives +4 strength. Imbued berserker ring gives +8 strength. (Strength is way better than attack for training, never use warrior.)

Bearhead has almost double the defense of iron full helm AND awesome mage defense.

Iron platebody is the best defense for body, but I'd personally use monk's robe if you're using prayers to speed up training. (You should be.)

 

 

I think that's pretty much it. Note that defense is pretty pointless when you're level 1 defense anyway, it won't make much of a difference at all. That's why the gear i recommended mostly focused on offense or prayer, which speeds up training much more effectively.
