~3Rd Age Armor~ Where Is The Point?

Featured Replies

Where is the point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthans set : 8.5M

 

 

 

One time repair 300k - 15H

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3rd age armor 60M? (As i have heard)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

60'000'000GP

 

 

 

- 8'500'000GP

 

 

 

= 51'500'000GP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthan full set repair 300K

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

51'500'500GP

 

 

 

/ 300'000GP

 

 

 

= ~171 Times (Even more if you repair it in your house)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

171*15H = 2565H

 

 

 

2565H/24H = 106.875 Days Straight...

 

 

 

Average playtime ~6Hours

 

 

 

2565H/6H = 427.5 Days

 

 

 

---------------------------------

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can train and heal with Guthans playing 6H/Day about 1.17 Years...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now lets take a look of the stats...

So i ask...

 

 

 

Where is the point of 3Rd Age Armor?

 

 

 

Another Show-Off armor for the rich...?

 

 

 

???

Same point as full dragon.

 

 

 

Alot of people prefer not having to repair armor.

 

 

 

Alot of people like to show off by way of look what I got in a drop or how rich I am.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also dont forget the, "Look how lucky I am!" people.

Geaux Tigers ! Congrats on a great year !

Well, the point of 3rd age armour - the end of the sheild looking at that picture #-o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously, I guess they just done it to try and bring more f2pers to become members.

I HAVE BAD SPELLING< DEAL WITH IT !!!!!!!!!!!

i like them. Like most things in all fantasy films (lotr) the best armours are some how always the ones that no one knew of.... the ones buried by the ancients kinda of thing :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i like it O:)

ive quit because of the dumb side of the RS community, not because i play too much (like 1 hour a day)

third age full, may be better than full guthan, but 3rd age has a kite shild and guthan doesent, guthan is actully better

you answered your own question

Computers will never be above humans because we made them.

That's what monkeys used to say about us.

Wow more def than barrows? *waits for prices to go down...* =P~

 

 

 

I'm always a bit paranoid when I spend my precious money on things that I don't need, even if it's just 1k. >_<

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

It's more something of honor.

 

 

 

People who get it won't train in it unless to show off :P

 

 

 

Not saying showing it off is bad, it's cool!

 

 

 

The armour itself looks cool tough! It is something to show off!

 

 

 

But not really something to train with tough.

About your comment at bandits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For one, B2p is awsome, and you can alternate guthans and Full 3A to last EVEN LONGER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, its for the same reason as dragon armor

well in my oppinion, barrows > 3rd age

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the thrid age offers good def, but rarely do you need the full set AND good def. most of the time you can heal with guthans and not worry about the 50 less def. the only times i can think of is with DKing and KQing. dharoking is used for having low hp, so that doesnt really count.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so to tell you the truth, i would much rather just camp with a set of guthans and a rune kite + whip/dscim or something and just forget about the 3rd age. its just going to end up being a novelty like god armour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

basically what i was trying to get at was you will not always need the full set effect and a high def at the same time. most of the time you are training somwhere where it wont matter.

yes, it will drop within a couple months, and personally, i might just have to buy it... not repairing it along with it's nice stats sounds good to me. :-w

Wow more def than barrows? *waits for prices to go down...*

 

 

 

It's only because of the kite shield. Guthan armor and a dragon square has more defence than the 3rd age armor.

Most of the time I see people doing a hybrid of armor and guthans. When prices for this drop (and they will, there far easier to get then dragon armor) people will use them in this fashion.

Do you even know what inflation is?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, as said before this is a lot like Dragon is/was. No need to repair it at all, which makes it very good both on its own and used in the fashion wakka pointed out. That and the shield rules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And 60M, lol, they JUST came out. It's not like the price isn't going to go down a ton soon.

Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

alas no this won't do anything for inflation - jagex previous methods such as construction actually takes moeny from the game (via the sawmill guy and the estate agents, presumably the richest guys in RS) - this just moves it about from player to player

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic - let it calm down pricewise, then we will see if people prefer them to barrows/dragon due to higher availability/repair

umm prices are now floating around 200 mill people are trading p hats for them
