March 27, 201214 yr No the cost for using them does not justify the slight upgrades that it provides.
March 27, 201214 yr The top is +2 magic accuracy better than ahrim's robe top. The ganodermic leggings are +1 accuracy over ahrim's skirt... But the degrading is definitely not worth the tiny bit of accuracy if you're praying/safespotting your targets.
March 27, 201214 yr Aren't they both degrading armour? Or are Ganodermic repairs significantly more expensive than Ahrims?
March 27, 201214 yr ganodermic is significantly more expensive. Unless your income is insanely high, probably not. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).
March 27, 201214 yr ahrim is fine for most mage slaying. although i might use gano for it's mage defence. e.g. slaying waterfiend in chaos tunnel.
March 27, 201214 yr Gano wouldn't really be worth it or necessary for waterfiends. I'd take void > ahrims > black d'hide > gano. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475
March 27, 201214 yr Ahrim's is like 230,000 to recharge after 15 hours of use. Gano is like 4,000,000 to recharge after 10 hours of use.
March 27, 201214 yr Top has 32 mage attack vs. Ahrim's' 30, skirt is 21 vs. 22 so... If you lose time safespotting stuff the poncho is probably a nice piece of armour to have, otherwise it's not worth it.

March 27, 201214 yr I like gano for waterfiends, reduces the apm a lot. You won't have to repair it that many times on the way to 99 slayer, so unless you're pretty hard up for cash I wouldn't worry too much about it. Asmodean <3
March 28, 201214 yr Gano wouldn't really be worth it or necessary for waterfiends. I'd take void > ahrims > black d'hide > gano. Void doesn't work with slayer helm for tasks, and requires deflector for goliath gloves. Did you mean Karils for waterfiends? Gano is only really worth it in places that have high mage dmg output, that way the 50% soak can really shine. I like it at waterfiends but it isn't necessary. I just like reducing the APM from flashing soulsplit :) Maxed since Sunday, January 9th, 2014Completionist since Wednesday, June 4th, 2014
March 28, 201214 yr He means void top and legs only, for the magic defence and prayer bonus.

Elite Void top + bottom is almost the same mage defense bonus as Karil's, and the Void armor has prayer bonuses.
