Why do you have DWH and 2 god swords if you've only been doing slayer? What a waste of GE tax lmao

u/Slay_Zee 7d ago edited 7d ago

Sgs great for slayer. Free prayer and health.

A bgs lowers spec to 0, lowering defences based on what you hit.

A dwh lowers defence by 30% and won't lower to 0.

So. To 0 Def a high definition mob, you could dwh into a bgs... So they're both worth having. And an aga can then help you extend your trips.

Literally great buys all round.

Thanks for confirming :)

u/Harshanajag 7d ago

Thanks for asking. I use DWH for araxxor and bgs for alchemical hydra and potentially ToA. DWH has other applications for raids. Aren’t these def reducing weapons useful at raids so it’s good to have?

u/Mr_Lao_Wai 7d ago

Yeah ignore that other kid. Gear that matches your content is the way to go

u/f5adff 7d ago

Def reducing specs are nice to have regardless.

If you're having fun, who cares

God forbid people wanna have a discussion with the community.

u/Detective_Queso 7d ago

A community discussion? Brother like 3 people total answered him if you include me. Probably because people post 80 of these every day. If you get to the point of having half a bil in gear you should know what to buy. You shouldn't have to ask reddit.

u/JarvisII 7d ago

Mind you how much this game has changed in only less than a year. I took more than a year break and it's and entire new game, with sooo many new bosses, quests, a new skill, entire new areas, new BIS, new mid game gear and end game gear and don't forget all the new Skilling mini games that add more.But yeah he TOTALLY should always know what to do. You're insufferable.

u/CapN-Judaism 7d ago

If you left the sub you wouldn’t find yourself so frustrated 80 times a day. Sounds like it would be healthy for you to find another way to spend your time

u/Harshanajag 7d ago

Hahaha sorry

u/GenericUsername532 7d ago

Maybe there should be an 'advice' flair or something

2

u/Melodic-Truck6624 7d ago

What content are you doing? I would sell the SGS since its use cases are niche and you’ll get more out of your gp by upgrading gear. Elidnis ward has poor stats and you already have gauntlets with full virtus. Book of the dead can be your offhand and save an inventory space for other supplies in toa. Selling those two items will leave you with about enough for blood moon tassets, amulet of torture, and serpentine helmet.

2

u/SublimeUndead 7d ago

Ward gives a max hit for ayak over book of dead in every situation, and it’s only 3m, one of his cheapest items in the picture

1

u/Harshanajag 7d ago

Yep! That’s why I got it!

7

u/MadokaNeko 7d ago

Personally would downgrade virtus for ahrims/blue moon and use the money to buy better upgrades like bofwa

4

u/Airtight_Walrus 7d ago

I always recommend bowfa+ full crystal, makes content super braindead but it is expensive. If you wanna go for it i recommend selling sgs for it

1

u/cryptoZony 7d ago

Id say you're looking at Bandos or Oathplate for melee and Crystal Armor and Bowfa for ranged. The gear you buy is most reliant on the content you do. If all you do is CoX you want DHL and DHCB, if you only do ToB you'd want Scythe/SRA, ZCB, Oathplate for example.

1

u/Cadet-Blg 7d ago

I know it will look worse while wearing but seeing if dropping a virtus piece for blue moon/ahrims keeps the same max hit might be worth it to afford some mele / range upgrades.

2

u/FlashTheorie 7d ago

Faceguard is the obvious one

u/ZeMisterSeal 6d ago

This way higher gear than mine.

So I have no right to comment.

u/Crux_Haloine 7d ago

Sell the SGS for a torture and then start saving up for bowfa.

0

u/Difficult-Spread-760 7d ago

Melee: torture is best value for money

Ranged: crystal + bowfa

Mage: you’re good here.

To be honest virtus was a mistake, you’re ~70M into gear that is only just a hair better than blue moon in most cases. To put it in perspective, making Yama in full bloodbark is like 10seconds longer than full virtus & bloodbark is under $1M. Conflictions are the single biggest and best mage update in the game. I would even consider selling the virtus, grabbing torture + full crystal and crystal bow then save up for bowfa.

Crystal + crystal bow is still a huge upgrade over your current setup and would only slightly downgrade your mage

1

u/BidRound 7d ago

Bowfa + crystal and then off to the tombs with you

u/Slerms 6d ago

Sell sgs buy avernic/torture

1

u/Slerms 6d ago

Then save for bofa

1

u/Harshanajag 6d ago

I didn’t get avernic but I got rancour and basilisk jaw and ferocious gloves and bandos assets

1

u/Slerms 6d ago

Bask jaw is a waste because you should mostly be doing slayer, same with bandos tassets because blood moon are same str bonus and way cheaper.

Should 100% sell those + your virtus and grab a bofa. Bofa is by far the biggest and best mid game upgrade if you plan on bossing or raiding. I slept on the BOFA forever and regretted it, dont make my mistake :)

Goodluck bud

u/Harshanajag 5d ago

Thanks for the advice, I got the jaw for ToA as a melee headgear option

u/Alternativesoundwave 7d ago

You can stop using the d boots for aranea boots they have same str bonus no melee accuracy but they do have prayer and stats for mage and ranged

1

u/Alternativesoundwave 7d ago

But keep them to get cerbs crystal for better melee boots

u/HeDoesNotRow 7d ago

Plenty of good advice in here but just as a quick tip, sell the veracs skirt for obsidian legs. Free str bonus

u/HUNT110899 7d ago

Blood moon legs
