So, why do YOU use guthans?

[bigtoy]

why do i use guthans? because b2p doesnt work on gargs,nechs,abbarents,abbys, etc thats why i use guthans. lol

[drgnslyer_15]

 

erkid"]Lazy to bank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i use guthan bc it saves time while training. Instead of banking every couple hundred monsters i stay out longer thus gettin more exp per trip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think both of you failed to read my entire post, lol :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whole reason I am comparing bones to peaches to guthans is because it serves the same purpose, without the waiting for a special set effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No offense, but input towards the thesis of the topic would have been better ;)

i read but since i don't have b2p and prob will never get it so i completely ignored that aspect lol.. but guthan seems like it'd be better... Just throw it on and you can heal where as if you use B2P you have to click spell blah blah blah you know

[Wrench_150]

I prefer guthans, but I have guthans and bones to peaches. I find it useful to have guthans when they don't drop bones or when I can't get a full inventory or so of bones and etc. Like not wasting some spaces collecting bones and having the runes. They both come in handy, guthan costing more, but it isn't a bad choice. I rather chose guthans since it heals more regularly, saves time to collect bones and etc. Bones to peaches is a good idea if your not willing to spend the money.

 

 

 

I just chose guthans because I thought it would be more handier.

Good luck killing Jad with BTP.

Good luck killing Jad with BTP.

 

 

 

Sara brews own guthans for fight caves. :)

[aznmidget448]

You could sell the Guthans back into the market whenever you want. The Bones :arrow: Peaches would be one use and you wouldn't get the money back :cry:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthans is good when the thing you're killing doesn't drop bones, DKing, Fire Cape Getting, and... other things :

[Hevendor_Guy]

Soultar has a point, but Sara brews + guthans = jad pwnd

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But on topic, guthans and b2p are best when combined.

[benfr]

HOwever, you could always sell the guthans armour again and get the 9M back you paid for it, so only costs are repair costs, which might turn out cheaper than bones to peaches.

And if the price drops before you sell it?

[ranging_beast]

It is a very useful set of armor. Bone to Peach is a rather later to use type of thing, while Guthan is to use on the point. There are some things B-P cant be used in, such as demons, kalphites, or anything that simply dont drop normal bones. Other thing, such as places like Dust Devils, or Dragons, you cant use Guthan. Not saying either can be used for dragon anyways. For a very nice use that can be used for more then slayer, such as long term camping at barrow and Dagganoth King, Guthan wins the price. But for people who have a very limited money (or simply hate barrow armor or Guthan making you look fat,) B-P FTW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are all my opinion before someone flame me for pretending to be an expert in this case.

i just bought them for fire cape, but jad was too big and mean for me so i sold them later..

[fx1970]

The best is probably...both.

 

 

 

It all depend on waht you are training on.

 

 

 

My slayer is 96 and I nearly only train on Gargoyle,Nechryaels, Abyssal Demon, Dusties, jellies, Turoth and Kurask

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Gargoyle, Abyssal demon, Nechryaels, jellies, it is evidence that Guthans owns. They drop no bones and going back to Basilisk (when fighting jellies)or crawling hands in Slayer tower would take way too much time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Dusties (can't use guthan because of mask) B2P is the only way to go for effective long training (same for aberrant specter(becoz of peg) and infernal mage (hit to hard if no Dragon hide). For bloodveld, it is less obvious but maybe a slight advantage for b2p

 

 

 

For Turoth and Kurask, b2p only as You can't reheal with Guthan as you won't hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, b2p will be fast to use at the start as your inventory will be nearly filled in by bones. In that case you will have taken food (trout for example to keep the cheap idea) to spare some nats so you will hardly ever use it on a full invent of bones.

 

 

 

But after a while, inventory will be nearly full and doing a b2p by bone would be upper boring and upper slow, with taking the bone, casting the spell, eating the peach..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, it all depends on your task.

 

 

 

As mine are nearly only nechryaels gargoyle and demon, guthan is the only relevant way to usE;

This is a discussion for everyone out there who swears by their guthans armor :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So recently, I was contemplating whether or not to put the 9M in to buy guthans armor for training. I considered the alternatives:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Using food

 

 

 

-Using food

 

 

 

-Oh, and using food.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided to venture off to world 2 to purchase a set, when my friend pmed me, "Hey wanna come train with me at the mage training arena?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It then popped into my head - Bones to peaches! I looked up all of the information about it, and when I did all the math, these were my results:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 nature runes per cast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 cast = all bones in inventory transformed to peaches

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peaches heal 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1,000 nature runes = 500 casts. 500 casts can equal up to 500 loads of food!! That is 500 trips to the bank that you DON'T HAVE TO DO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then calculated the price it would cost me to get the spell. It came out to around 900k coins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

900k coins. 10 times LESS then guthan's armor. Yes, the spell does cost nature runes. But you would need to use 30,000 nature runes (15,000 casts) to even equal up to the price of guthans. So i've now gotten the bones to peaches spell, and I earned 230k mage experience in the process :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only disadvantages are:

 

 

 

-No demon training

 

 

 

-Limited slayer tower training.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The advantages:

 

 

 

-Costs less than guthans

 

 

 

-More effective than guthans

 

 

 

-Can train in almost all spots

 

 

 

-Can train on Dust devils

 

 

 

-Only takes up 3 inventory spaces (as does guthans if you have another set of armor on you as well)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that's my opinion on this amazing spell. What about yours?

 

 

 

firstly- youll have to get the spell(600k+)

 

 

 

secondly- you can sell back your guthans for exact same price or more, but you cant sell used spells

 

 

 

third- it takes time picking up bones+ youll have to have an empty inventory at all given moments

 

 

 

fourth- can not train on most high leveld monsters/at best training places

 

 

 

fifth- eating takes time- being in combat does not

 

 

 

sixth- this thread is ridiculous.

[jwrm22]

b2p is a nice spell... but you wont be able to do it at: demons, giants, dragons... any other monster that doesnt drop normal bones

[Pyrex]

You pay buy the guthans and pay a lot, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS SELL IT BACK! The money you actually lose is the money you pay while you repair. That gets reduced with the armor stand. That's why I use guthans

[arc_knight]

for those players who are high slayer, or combat,or just not noobs and can afford guthans, its well worth it. its very annoying to have to leave in the middle of a task for food, especially when you're in the middle of nowhere. that is why guthans is more efficient, and plus it provides good armor (except vs mage type monsters) but thats why i take d hides ;)

[Aquashock]

You could do like me and get both 8-)

[LordSoultar]

For Turoth and Kurask, b2p only as You can't reheal with Guthan as you won't hit.

 

 

 

I'm fairly sure you can use guthans to heal on them both, you just can't damage them at the same time. Turoth and Kurask's protection is sort of like how protect from melee work with guthan at barrows. He will hit you for 0 everytime, but he will sometimes get the healing special and will heal for what he would have hit had you not been using prayer. I remember hearing that, and I doubt Jagex has changed it.

Jagex has changed that (well, at least he has been hitting many 0's at me and hasn't healed a single time during the past few weeks that I've been doing some Barrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic: I use neither Guthans nor B2P, because I have neither of them. But I would use Guthans instead of B2P, because I'm too lazy to get the B2P from Mage Training Arena (after getting Mage's Book, I got a bit bored of it... )

[DeadPolkaDots1]

For those of you who claim BTP takes too much time to gather bones from creatures near by, it really doesn't. It takes about 5 minutes if that to kill a few hands/bassiliks to get some bones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the bottom line is Guthans is overall better. It is supposed to be. That's why BTP costs around 600-900k and Guthans armour costs 9million. What can you expect?
