I know prayer makes really good magic defense, but what kind of armor is good for it? I currently have Mith and know that it sucks for magic defense, with hard leather body better for it but not good for melee! I was wondering what the best armor for both skills so I can get a balance.

You could try an assortment of items, like a hard leather top and wear mithril plate legs. However runecape is designed so that your character is not good in all areas.

Dragon hide for magic.

 

 

 

But you cant be protected from magic and melee. You can only change outfits.

So what would be the best straight magic defense?

karils armour, or for f20 full green dragonhide and a wizard hat

 

 

 

or protect from mage

F2p meleers should always have green vambs equipped. They have VERY good stats compared to their alternatives... gloves. :shock: I am not sure but I think that the security of stronghold boots MIGHT have a negative mage defense so stick with regular leather boots vs. mages.

 

 

 

 

 

Another thing that you can do is to raise your mage level as high as possible (without effecting your combat lvl). Your mage level is part of your defense against magical attacks.

 

I have a range pure (nothing but hp, mage, and range) and when I keep my mage level close to my range level my pure LAUGHS at magical attacks with 1 defense.
