Tnt6200 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I haven't really been keeping up with RS in the past few months so I don't really know what gear I need now. :< - Should I keep all 3 glacor boots?- Are the 3 imbued fremmy rings worth it over onyx (i)?

Urza285 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Onyx (i) is your best in slot for all class rings followed by berserker ring Warrior, archer and seers ring (I) are best in slot rings for each respective class. All three glacor boots are best in slot boots for each respective class. Top end gear to idealistically obtain is: Ganodermic armor for magic. Replace gloves for spellcaster gloves from dominion tower when possible. Chaotic staff is still best with polypore, staff of light and greater runic staff behind it. Armadyl battlestaff is in between and acts as an air staff. Arcane stream necklace is best in slot for magic amulets. Armadyl is best for range. Again, replace gloves for swift gloves from dominion tower. Saradomin's murmur is best is slot for range amulets. Chaotic crossbow and offhands are best. The rest I can't touch on as I'm about to get off break from work. Edit: pretty much bandos helm, plate, tassets, goliaths, Sara whisper are best armor. You wat to get all melee chaotic variants and offhands to maximize dps for monsters with different weaknesses.

gago Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Howmuch gp/h is full ganodermic upkeep at the moment? Subjugation robes are at level 70 and undegradable. For bossing you might need a shield so chaotics are your best bet. DFS is a decent alternative since you can switch between classes(furnace at kuradal). Armadyl buckler, Bandos warshield and Subjugation ward have better stats than DFS i believe. For arrow ranging use Zaryte or Crystal bow. "Happines only real when shared."

Quyneax Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 DFS is really expensive to switch between classes atm, one blast fusion hammer each (1m gp).

gago Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 :o Didn't realise blast fusion hammer is that much. I thought it was really cheap :P Oh, about wands; Virtus > Ahrims > Master.They are all quite overpriced at the moment so if you're shield maging something, use Grifolic wand.

Saradomin_Mage Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If you're looking for a cheaper tier 70 shield, consider getting the Blessed spirit shield (melee) instead of the Bandos warshield. Crystal shields count as magic shields at tier 70, though a ward may be preferable if you haven't decreased the repair cost all the way to 150k yet. 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...

Crystal shields count as magic shields at tier 70, though a ward may be preferable if you haven't decreased the repair cost all the way to 150k yet. I don't get why people spend time to "reduce the cost of crystal items". Why not just use them like normal? If you use "grind" them to destruction, you're only losing money, not "saving it in the long run". I don't get why Jagex spend time to "reduce the cost of bandos warshield". Why not make it a unique shield? If you "undermine" their value by making blessed spirit shields straight up better (due to the prayer bonus), you're only making BWS useless, not "increasing the number of options available to players in the long run". I don't get why Cheefoo spend time to post like a moron.

Saradomin_Mage Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I more of meant having already used so much crystal that the cost would be reduced :P I imagine that crystal shields would degrade much more quickly too now since you seem to get hit much more often than in the pre-EOC game, and hence starting the degrade cycle now would be much more costly.

Sir_Squab Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Do crystal shields still have the "get worse as they degrade" thing going on? And is the amount of damage the same?

Tnt6200 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have all chaotics including shield etc. so that's not a problem. But how significant is a ~30 defence rating? (eg: 42 mage defence for glaivens vs. 13 mage defence for steads - as far as I can tell that is the only difference between the glacor boots.) Also, how much of a dps increase will 0.3% crit bonus offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiel Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 how much of a dps increase will 0.3% crit bonus offer?.3% ignoring accuracy, overkill etc. 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).

Cheefoo Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 how much of a dps increase will 0.3% crit bonus offer?.3% ignoring accuracy, overkill etc. Because criticals supposedly increase damage by 50%, it would be .15% increase in that case. Just halve the percent boost and that should be roughly your DPS boost. This is all assuming criticals really do increase damage by 50%, though there is much evidence suggesting that it's more complicated than that.

Tnt6200 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Gearing up for a hellhounds task now...Should I be using ragefires instead of steads because they have a greater melee defence?

gago Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Just use the armor of the combat style you're using.In the case of hellhounds - melee, so steadfasts.(Armor is not important enough to outweight the loss of accuracy that comes with using gear of different style) "Happines only real when shared."

Saradomin_Mage Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 You only lose accuracy on big pieces of armour (body, legs, shield), so it's fine to mix and match the rest to skew your armour bonus in another direction. 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...
gago Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 O really? o.OSo no accuracy is lost if i'm meleeing in bandos tassets& body with arma helm, spellcaster gloves and ragefire boots?
