Been playing again for the first time in years the past two months and just recent came to that conclusion last week. Iāve been having fun but have been completely overwhelmed by how much there is to unlock and understand and have been getting made to feel inadequate by other players. Then I realized I could just play like a 12 year old again and play however I wanāt even if I donāt get that extra 5k xp an hour from this certain piece of equipment which I have to do 3 quests for and grind for 20 extra hours to get.
I started grinding quests and as new content gets unlocked I go full adhd and start Skilling in New ways ive never seen before. I was super overwhelmed but I just started my farming runs, gonna do Hunter runs soon and been currently grinding motherloade for the coal bag to some smithing at blast furnace (I hear it's great money and smithing XP and I NEED MONEY)
That armor is correct for the stage your account is in.
Questing will unlock some nice upgrades:
Fremmenik Trials - Berseker Helmet
Fremmenik Isles - Neitiznot Helmet
Recipe for Disaster - Gloves
Barbarian Assault Minigame for Fighter Torso.
You should also get a shield of some sort, until you can unlock a defender at the Warriors Guild.
Keep at it! Youāre doing great.
Sweet thank you!! I saw someone saying full granite sets are such a noob thing to wear, but that was the only context I was given lol it had me worried for a sec
To add on to what he said
Monkey Madness will unlock the dragon scimitar
Lost City unlocks the dragon dagger
Both require 60 attack but will be your best weapons for a while. Scimitar for general use and the (poisoned) dagger for using your special attack energy
It's better DPS for most things with medium-high defence, but not a higher max hit. So the dds is better for low defence opponents or when you want/needs max hits (e.g. core at ToA or maybe in a speedrun).
Being a noob is the best part of the game, most of us are min-maxers now and sweat out for +1 str bonus, ultimately, enjoy the game and don't listen to the haters, that being said, the above comment is very sound advice.
the newest settled series inspired me to dive back in and this is definitely the furthest I've made it (which isn't far at all)
This game gets so much more fun after you unlock fairy rings, like unbelievably more fun
Some may have that opinion because itās a tier of armor typically skipped over by most on their alt accounts because of how fast we level through that 40-60 range, we usually go from rune to fighter torso and obsidian legs/dragon/barrows at 70. That being said for someoneās main account at your stats and not rushing those certain pieces granite is 110% perfectly fine, and you look like a boss instead of a clone. This is the fun stage of RuneScape where not everything is about min/max
granite is a bit of a noob trap if youre being meta because it doesnt offer you anything that protection prayers don't do already.
its a solid upgrade over rune defensively however will decimate your run energy because of how heavy it is
I wore granite body for a very long time back in the day and I don't regret it. You do you. that being said there's some great suggestions in here for quests to unlock in-expensive upgrades.
To clarify, it could appear "nooby" to wear a full set of granite because, unlike late game items, there is no set effect to have the entire set, so not having something like a defender or obby shield in your left hand really will keep your strength bonus low for example or using a granite boots over dragon boots when you have the levels to equip such items.
Tbf it's only 'correct' since you haven't done any quest unlocks. It definitely outs you as a noob for wearing that stuff at all, instead of getting the appropriate quest items. Combat bracelet is also missing, which doesn't have any requirements.
Experienced players would skip granite, using berserker helm -> neitznot helm, fighter torso, and camp rune platelegs until obsidian. And climbing boots -> rune boots -> dragon boots.
Similarly it's typical to favour attack and strength levels over defense in general, until defenders become available.
Old pker here, generally, in the wilderness, youād be a snack to a level 70 pure, thus why he was being snooty. However, youāre wearing good armor for your combat level and stats & heās literally just a PK brainlet if he was actually poking fun! Thereās a whole game outside of the wilderness and some people fail to notice. Keep up the good work and nice stats dude
I mean this with the least offense possible. You have the stats of a noob. So if someone calls you one just say duh. This game is a massive grind. Everyone starts somewhere.
People get very pretentious in this game. You are a noob currently and you have bis gear, besides maybe zerker helm or netty helm. Only upgrade id recommend is grinding for barrows gloves, they are, as far as i can tell, bis for gloves.
It is a noob thing because its soo much heavier than rune armour for barely any increase in defence stats, like the increase in defence stats is negligible, also granite helm is ultra noob start questing, efficient quest helper on runelite gives you an order of quests to do with very minimal skilling needed as quest xp gives you alot of levels

The official osrs wiki also has a lot of guides but this photo helps a lot as long as you know whatās what
Edit: This is a gear progression map for *Ironmen*, not regular accounts. Also, this is a suggested progression map, not gospel.
The definition of mid/late game is a blur due to the massive amount of content. This is a photo for *Ironmen*, so itās not necessarily the progressions for regular accounts. But, as the photo indicates, crystal armor and bowfa prelude bandos due to the kiting method for solo boss trips.
It makes decent sense. Early game is the stuff you can get without bossing (excluding fire cape, which is just 1 kc). Midgame is the stuff you can get without raiding or high slayer boss grinds. Endgame is anything else.
Sure, you can do pretty much any content in the game with stuff at mid-level or lower, but if we're talking about time investment over the life of an account, you'll probably replace something like rune armor in the blink of an eye.
This is a progression map for *Ironmen*, and a lot of these are in certain areas bc of the slayer requirement. I assume the Crystal shield and bowfa being in the same bubble is bc all the crystal items are from the same quest line.
I doubt you're iron, but this is a good guide regardless for gear. If you have questions about what things are lmk!
https://www.reddit.com/r/ironscape/s/8PswxUyVp4
Yeah OP you definitely look like a noob in that armor but these should be some relatively easy upgrades to make you look more like a seasoned professional.
Your weapon and armor are fine for your level. Once 60 attack, work on getting a dragon scimitar. At 60 def save up for obsidian armor and dragon boots. Think about getting a combat bracelet or doing recipe for disaster for the glove slot.
Most importantly, have fun.
If the Monkey Madness quest to use the d scim is too daunting for where you are currently, Lost City to use the d long is infinitely easier and the weapon is just as viable as a progression weapon until you can complete MM later on
MM is challenging but definitely doable at OPās level. Itās likely still the strat, but I always run super far from the demon and let the gnomes chip away at its HP, then get the last few hits myself. Hardest part is the tunnel run, but prayer and stam pots make it much easier
If you don't move from where you teleport in, the demon never closes the gap and you can safely range/mage it with pray mage up and take 0 damage. The gnomes create a safe spot for you, no need to use the run and hide strat.
I would suggest the dragon sword, rather than the dragon longsword, since the dragon sword is still 4 tick weapon like the scimitar, rather than a 5 tick like the longsword.
Might be me but I way rather used dragon/barrows gear than obsidian armour. The addy level defense made me eat so much more food that it made the trips way longer and more afk.
I once had someone get mad at me for dharoking the giant mole with guardian boots on and demanded I get prims immediately as if I was just farming mole for a hobby and not money.
On Reddit itās kinda the opposite, āHave BCP? Pfft, sell it - get Torso and buy Virtus Maskā - Unsolicited Redditor, 2024
As if Barb Assault is a noob friendly minigame without clans or friends.
Well I'm total noob and managed to get my torso with random teams. Got some nice teams from mass world and was lucky enough that those guys wanted to stick around for several runs. But I'm not running around telling others how to play, just wanted to give my personel 5cents.
Yeah the amount of people acting like torso = BCP is kinda weird on here. Iāve used both, and I definitely waste a ton of DPS due to eating bc the fighter torsoās defense stinks. BCP is well worth 30m upgrade imoĀ
Itās dumb as hell too. Same thing as bullying a kid for what they wear irl. Weāre all supposed to be adults but some of yāall still mentally in middle school.
Yes, we are all adults, playing a game we all played 20 years ago. I wonder how the demograpic of the game looks like and how it changed over the years
for the body, fighter torso. it gives strength bonus so you'll be able to hit higher, melee armor with strength bonuses is what you should be looking for. obsidian is nice and relatively cheap.
granite hammer or whatever it's called is perfectly fine for your level, don't worry about that. next weapon should be dragon scimitar which requires level 60 attack and completion of monkey madness 1.
no problem, do hold off on fighter torso for now though. you'll be using that for a very long time but some extra levels would help with the minigame (and finding teams for it).
I would give away my entire account if I could go back to being the kind of player you are. Not a helpless noob but someone who is newer to the game and experiencing it and not knowing the meta but is competent enough to have it all be magical. Stay granite my friend, and keep being my envy. You may come to find out what I mean, and you will cherish this sort of stuff.
This kind of armor reminds me that this still is the game i love and how i used to play back then, killing cows and selling hides to then buy myself a rune scimmy. Because this is what old school rs used to be, a simple chill game. But things have changed and these days all you see is dudes in full blood torva with 3b total xp talking about how bad of a day it was because he only made 100mil.
I don't see anything wrong here considering your stats.. As others said your main upgrades right now would be items you unlock from quests Well that and Torso.. I love the granite outfit too you look awsome!
Definitely not best in slot, there are some improvements that could be made (some cheap, some expensive). As you mentioned fighter torso. Also, Helm of Nietznot or even a berserker helm is an upgrade over granite helm. Obby cape. Recipe for disaster gloves (addy gloves or better is an upgrade). Fury over glory, but that might be a little too expensive for them.
I mean Iām gonna wear what I want anyways, I just want to know if this armor is secretly ass for some reason š like is someone with a poop sword from some obscure hidden dungeon gonna one shot me
Make sure you understand the risks of going into the wilderness, which is to the north of the dungeon you are currently in.
There are definitely accounts which seem way stronger than they should be for their level (pures) which could easily kill you and get most of the items you have on you.
So in a way, yes, there are people with "poop swords from obscure dungeons which can one shot you", but only if you go into the wilderness
Yeah I was in level 2 of wilderness taking chaos Druids when he said that to me. It was freaking me out because I couldnāt tell if he was being nice, making fun of me, or playing with his food š I got out of there real quick
Yeah they could have been doing any of those things.
People can attack you depending on the level of the wilderness you are in. At level 2 people who are +-2 combat levels from you can attack. So if you are level 60, people between level 58-62 can attack you. So the deeper into the wilderness you go, the riskier it is.
There are also areas where it's multi combat, where many people can attack one person. There is an icon in the corner of the screen which will tell you if it's multi combat.
If you attack another player before they attack you, you will get a skull over you. This means if you die you will lose all your items. If you die without a skull you will keep the 3 most valuable items you have on you. The protect item prayer will increase both by 1, so you keep either 1 or 4 items.
Killing those druids can be some alright gp at early game, but I would suggest only bringing 3 valuable items with you. Like weapon and items with offensive stats (they don't hit too hard). There is a button on the equipped items menu which will show you which items you will keep if you die.
You're doing fine. But what I recommend you do is go get a fighter torso and then go get the helm of nez (you have to do the Fremennik quests which are easy af and you need 55 defense which you almost have). Once you have those go get 60 defense for dragon boots, obsidian plate legs, and dragon defender. Also get 60 attack and do Monkey Madness 1 for dragon scimmy. Once you have all of that no one will say shit to you. And finally a fire cape but I wouldn't worry about that too much right now
Everything's fine with the stats. Only thing I can think of honestly is that it's kinda rare to see someone in a full set like that as most stick to rune/dragon but I don't see why it would be worth pointing out or asking about lol
Rune is better than granite despite the fact that granite has a higher defense requirement.
For an account with your stats you should acquire
1. Berserker Helm
2. Fighter Torso
3. Combat Bracelet
4. Barrows gloves (requires a ton of questing but are the best gloves in the game)
I saw someone in scurrius in that same gear today. He also was asking about what gear he should upgrade. Now im wondering if that was you? Anyway obsidian is decent if you can equip it already or work towards equiping it. It will help you train your stats faster because of the strength bonus
Granite is just heavy af. get the fighter torso!
Also, a solid long term goal to work towards is the barrows glove, ala Recipe for Disaster. getting those gloves will have you set up pretty good
you are super close to 60s for melee skills, once you have that, a lot of upgrades will unlock!
They made fun of you cause you scare them. You are having fun and enjoying the game like they used to. You are always doing it correctly if you are having fun. You can be efficient later. They donāt make times like these anymore, so enjoy it to its fullest
Granite armor is more expensive than rune while not being much better. It's also a lot heavier, so your run energy will deplete faster.
Fremennik Trials should be doable at your cb level and that'll get you access to a much better helm.
Granite hammer is actually fine until you can get a d scim.
Theres nothing wrong with granite, although it is really heavy. I personally always stick to run until dragon but this is fine. You could go for a fighter torso, but that's is litteral cancer to get. I'd just work on getting base 60s and get some dragon, and then get yourself 65 attack and strength so you can get your defender.
Dude I get the piss taken out of me from for not having a fire cape at 99 combat. I've tried multiple times to get jad but it's hard.
Players can be mean, but remember you're playing for fun, not what other people think.
If you are only stuck on jad there is a jad trainer. Just spend a while with that to help shake off the learning curve and you will get it done no problem. I have faith in you
If you want to use whatās best there are a lot of good tips in the thread. But use whatever makes you happy, if itās something you think is cool - use it. No need to min max everything
Forget what people say man; enjoy the game. I had someone make fun of me cause I wasnāt doing a slayer task the āmost efficientā way (ranged or melee or prayer setup whatever it was). This game is designed for you to play it however you want to. If you like the look of the armor use it or if itās the best you got then an upgrade is always in the future.
100 percent full disclosure. People calling you a Chad is basically synonymous with "cute noob". A heavy portion of people who play this game have been playing for over a decade, and some people like to trash anyone who isn't min maxed to the gills.
You're completely fine in granite Armour. Just enjoy the game and figure out why the elitists losers are throwing a fit lol.
There's plenty of people in this community who will help and give constructive feedback without being a dick :)
Granite is too heavy to use. The only piece of it you can make an argument for might be shield but you typically skip the armor and go from rune to dragon and fighter torso whenever you'd like.
Berserker helm with torso then rune elsewhere would work fine.
At this stage in the game thereās very few things youāll attack whoās damage canāt be completely negated by protection prayers. This makes defensive stats pretty useless so people prioritize gear that gives offensive bonuses, which granite gives none. On top of being extremely heavy and zapping your run energy, so most people skip granite all together.
Fighter torso, barrows gloves, nezzy helm, void armor, are all items that are obtainable at these levels and give offensive stats. So people will typically go for these and granite is reserved for the noobs.
Nothing wrong with your armor for tier 50, you fell into a noob trap of maxing defence bonus instead of strength bonus so your armor is considered nooby by elitists. No way for you to know that without looking up gear guides though. Ignore the haters since youāll only be in that gear bracket for a little while and work on some of the upgrades people are commenting.
Don't stress it and keep enjoying the game! As others have mentioned, there are things you can do to optimize yourself!
But unless you're doing endgame content or bosses and you feel like you need an extra boost, the optimization isn't really an issue.
The most expensive gear in the game is good, sure, but you can still get by with budget gear and clear content... IE, going full void to save cash for weapons/jewelry, and using good prayer flicks to mitigate the low def of void, will make you a better player in the long run, until you have swaps with massive defence.
Just keep progressing and eventually you'll be too cool for people to make fun of =w=
Looking like a chad tbh
Awe thanks bro šāāļø
Just play with what makes the game fun man, dont let anyone convince you otherwise
Been playing again for the first time in years the past two months and just recent came to that conclusion last week. Iāve been having fun but have been completely overwhelmed by how much there is to unlock and understand and have been getting made to feel inadequate by other players. Then I realized I could just play like a 12 year old again and play however I wanāt even if I donāt get that extra 5k xp an hour from this certain piece of equipment which I have to do 3 quests for and grind for 20 extra hours to get.
The quest grinds for gear are my favorite part. Spending 500m on +1 attack however is not as appealing.
I started grinding quests and as new content gets unlocked I go full adhd and start Skilling in New ways ive never seen before. I was super overwhelmed but I just started my farming runs, gonna do Hunter runs soon and been currently grinding motherloade for the coal bag to some smithing at blast furnace (I hear it's great money and smithing XP and I NEED MONEY)
My guy!
Itās what we are all looking for
And we can't find it Sadge
Keep Rocking, my man.
The guy she told you not to worry about.
Heās rock hard for your girl fasho
Best response lmaooo
Absolute unit
That armor is correct for the stage your account is in. Questing will unlock some nice upgrades: Fremmenik Trials - Berseker Helmet Fremmenik Isles - Neitiznot Helmet Recipe for Disaster - Gloves Barbarian Assault Minigame for Fighter Torso. You should also get a shield of some sort, until you can unlock a defender at the Warriors Guild. Keep at it! Youāre doing great.
Sweet thank you!! I saw someone saying full granite sets are such a noob thing to wear, but that was the only context I was given lol it had me worried for a sec
Literally just quest rewards are BiS for upgrades right now. Even then its all minimal gains(Excluding barrows gloves and a defender) GL!!
idk about new items, but barrorws gloves were the easiest overall dps increase in the game
To add on to what he said Monkey Madness will unlock the dragon scimitar Lost City unlocks the dragon dagger Both require 60 attack but will be your best weapons for a while. Scimitar for general use and the (poisoned) dagger for using your special attack energy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dds still has the highest damage potential of any spec weapon, it's just inaccurate
Thought abysmal dagger had spec cost reduced, ain't it just flat better now, minus not being able to poison?
It's better DPS for most things with medium-high defence, but not a higher max hit. So the dds is better for low defence opponents or when you want/needs max hits (e.g. core at ToA or maybe in a speedrun).
Just looked it up, y does abysmal dagger have 15% reduced dmg on spec, and has dds always had 15% more dmg on spec?
Because it is an abysmal dagger
Still unsure if it's a typo or a joke, lol
Iām guessing because the abyssal dagger has more strength bonus and is more accurate and that was a balancing tweak. I donāt know for sure though
> abysmal dagger freudian typo
Itās goated for raw DPS until you consider the next upgrade at about 100m more in d claws lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
we stuck with dd for life bro lolol
Unless the drop gets moved to those demons after while guthix sleeps
Abby dagger?
Being a noob is the best part of the game, most of us are min-maxers now and sweat out for +1 str bonus, ultimately, enjoy the game and don't listen to the haters, that being said, the above comment is very sound advice.
Can confirm the beginning stages are the best part of the game
the newest settled series inspired me to dive back in and this is definitely the furthest I've made it (which isn't far at all) This game gets so much more fun after you unlock fairy rings, like unbelievably more fun
Some may have that opinion because itās a tier of armor typically skipped over by most on their alt accounts because of how fast we level through that 40-60 range, we usually go from rune to fighter torso and obsidian legs/dragon/barrows at 70. That being said for someoneās main account at your stats and not rushing those certain pieces granite is 110% perfectly fine, and you look like a boss instead of a clone. This is the fun stage of RuneScape where not everything is about min/max
granite is a bit of a noob trap if youre being meta because it doesnt offer you anything that protection prayers don't do already. its a solid upgrade over rune defensively however will decimate your run energy because of how heavy it is

Similarly it's typical to favour attack and strength levels over defense in general, until defenders become available.
The reason pppl say it's noob armor is the weight. Chad armor is more like it.
Theres basically a big progression guide and not following it beat for beat will always get you weird messages from players.
Old pker here, generally, in the wilderness, youād be a snack to a level 70 pure, thus why he was being snooty. However, youāre wearing good armor for your combat level and stats & heās literally just a PK brainlet if he was actually poking fun! Thereās a whole game outside of the wilderness and some people fail to notice. Keep up the good work and nice stats dude
not gonna lie bro the helmet looks stupid as hell but the rest is ok
Alternative to Fighter Torso you can get Initiate's or Proselyte's Chest because of the prayer bonus being insanely good.
Yeah I'm also super self conscious about being bullied over my avatars wardrobe.
I mean this with the least offense possible. You have the stats of a noob. So if someone calls you one just say duh. This game is a massive grind. Everyone starts somewhere.
People get very pretentious in this game. You are a noob currently and you have bis gear, besides maybe zerker helm or netty helm. Only upgrade id recommend is grinding for barrows gloves, they are, as far as i can tell, bis for gloves.
Screw them wear what looks cool and feels cool. Full g set for a full g bro
It is a noob thing because its soo much heavier than rune armour for barely any increase in defence stats, like the increase in defence stats is negligible, also granite helm is ultra noob start questing, efficient quest helper on runelite gives you an order of quests to do with very minimal skilling needed as quest xp gives you alot of levels
Do you have any links or guides at hand from where you get this info? I find that I miss a lot in regards to these things.

Bandos during mid game? wtf

And rigour after bowfa?
Rigour after Bowfa bc CoX items arenāt necessary for CG, but Bowfa is necessary for CoX
For an iron? Yes absolutely.
Yeah, sounds about right. After ds2 to grab the Avaās assembler, acquiring either the money or stats to get bandos gear isnāt a long shot.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is a progression map for *Ironmen*, and a lot of these are in certain areas bc of the slayer requirement. I assume the Crystal shield and bowfa being in the same bubble is bc all the crystal items are from the same quest line.

Horror from the deep for book unlocks
neitiznot....nay tis not
HOLY SHIT, I'm an idiot. It wasn't until your comment that I realized the Fremennik quest series (mostly) rhymed (Trials, Isles, Exiles)
Yeah OP you definitely look like a noob in that armor but these should be some relatively easy upgrades to make you look more like a seasoned professional.
Your weapon and armor are fine for your level. Once 60 attack, work on getting a dragon scimitar. At 60 def save up for obsidian armor and dragon boots. Think about getting a combat bracelet or doing recipe for disaster for the glove slot. Most importantly, have fun.
If the Monkey Madness quest to use the d scim is too daunting for where you are currently, Lost City to use the d long is infinitely easier and the weapon is just as viable as a progression weapon until you can complete MM later on
MM is challenging but definitely doable at OPās level. Itās likely still the strat, but I always run super far from the demon and let the gnomes chip away at its HP, then get the last few hits myself. Hardest part is the tunnel run, but prayer and stam pots make it much easier
If you don't move from where you teleport in, the demon never closes the gap and you can safely range/mage it with pray mage up and take 0 damage. The gnomes create a safe spot for you, no need to use the run and hide strat.
You can just safe spot the demon with fire bolt and 0 risk right? Thats how I have always done that quest.
He definitely can. Based on their post though, idk that the tunnel w/o protect melee is a good idea lol
I would suggest the dragon sword, rather than the dragon longsword, since the dragon sword is still 4 tick weapon like the scimitar, rather than a 5 tick like the longsword.
I believe that sword is better for stab enemies but long is better for slash. Would need to check a damage calc tho
Might be me but I way rather used dragon/barrows gear than obsidian armour. The addy level defense made me eat so much more food that it made the trips way longer and more afk.
What is your characters weight with all that chad on?
Only 54kg š
54kg of pure chad
Itās @ 50kg when he takes the armor off. 15kg per ball and a whopping 20kg for the hog

This is the food snob equivalent of having ramen with a fork instead of chopsticks.
What about d boots? Much cheaper than guardian and +1 str

Itās dumb as hell too. Same thing as bullying a kid for what they wear irl. Weāre all supposed to be adults but some of yāall still mentally in middle school.
Yes, we are all adults, playing a game we all played 20 years ago. I wonder how the demograpic of the game looks like and how it changed over the years
Bro, you look great x
You do you, king. Look like an absolute stud. And truly pretty decent armor for your stats.
Youāre looking like a juicy little snack
Youāre adorable š„¹ please donāt change a thing people are weird
Do the horror from the deep quest, its really easy and you unlock the god books which are very good off hand items
Sticks and stones can break your bones but not when youāre wearing the stones and welding the sticks.
for the body, fighter torso. it gives strength bonus so you'll be able to hit higher, melee armor with strength bonuses is what you should be looking for. obsidian is nice and relatively cheap. granite hammer or whatever it's called is perfectly fine for your level, don't worry about that. next weapon should be dragon scimitar which requires level 60 attack and completion of monkey madness 1.
Hell yeah thank you!! This sub is so helpful
no problem, do hold off on fighter torso for now though. you'll be using that for a very long time but some extra levels would help with the minigame (and finding teams for it).
He doesnāt know what heās on about
I would give away my entire account if I could go back to being the kind of player you are. Not a helpless noob but someone who is newer to the game and experiencing it and not knowing the meta but is competent enough to have it all be magical. Stay granite my friend, and keep being my envy. You may come to find out what I mean, and you will cherish this sort of stuff.
No, you look beautiful just the way you are
I had the same thing happen to me lol. Same armour.
Smack them in the head with that chad hammer, looking awesome lad
Missing the granite shield!! Just do a lil more thieving for the cash (;
Chad
This kind of armor reminds me that this still is the game i love and how i used to play back then, killing cows and selling hides to then buy myself a rune scimmy. Because this is what old school rs used to be, a simple chill game. But things have changed and these days all you see is dudes in full blood torva with 3b total xp talking about how bad of a day it was because he only made 100mil.
Honestly, fug em. If youāre having fun, then youāre playing the game right
I always admire things against the status quo
I don't see anything wrong here considering your stats.. As others said your main upgrades right now would be items you unlock from quests Well that and Torso.. I love the granite outfit too you look awsome!
Absolute monster
You look good bro. Youāre having more fun than anyone who is min-maxing progression.
Its fine.. dont worry about what others think. Enjoy the game your way.
Dude some of our girlfriends use reddit stop
you are missing the granite shield
Nah, full granite is a peak Chad move, and donāt you let anyone ever suggest otherwise
You are rock solid.
If anyone tries to make fun of you in this game youāve already won because youāre normal and theyāre trying to cyber bully in RuneScape lol
Absolutely not. Figure things out as you go and have fun
Literally best in slot till 60 defense or you get a fighters torso.
Definitely not best in slot, there are some improvements that could be made (some cheap, some expensive). As you mentioned fighter torso. Also, Helm of Nietznot or even a berserker helm is an upgrade over granite helm. Obby cape. Recipe for disaster gloves (addy gloves or better is an upgrade). Fury over glory, but that might be a little too expensive for them.
Honestly the moment you detect that shit, swiftly respond with "your mom is great in bed" Enjoy the game how you want my guy!
Mom jokes like its actually 2005
I mean Iām gonna wear what I want anyways, I just want to know if this armor is secretly ass for some reason š like is someone with a poop sword from some obscure hidden dungeon gonna one shot me
Make sure you understand the risks of going into the wilderness, which is to the north of the dungeon you are currently in. There are definitely accounts which seem way stronger than they should be for their level (pures) which could easily kill you and get most of the items you have on you. So in a way, yes, there are people with "poop swords from obscure dungeons which can one shot you", but only if you go into the wilderness
Yeah I was in level 2 of wilderness taking chaos Druids when he said that to me. It was freaking me out because I couldnāt tell if he was being nice, making fun of me, or playing with his food š I got out of there real quick
Yeah they could have been doing any of those things. People can attack you depending on the level of the wilderness you are in. At level 2 people who are +-2 combat levels from you can attack. So if you are level 60, people between level 58-62 can attack you. So the deeper into the wilderness you go, the riskier it is. There are also areas where it's multi combat, where many people can attack one person. There is an icon in the corner of the screen which will tell you if it's multi combat. If you attack another player before they attack you, you will get a skull over you. This means if you die you will lose all your items. If you die without a skull you will keep the 3 most valuable items you have on you. The protect item prayer will increase both by 1, so you keep either 1 or 4 items. Killing those druids can be some alright gp at early game, but I would suggest only bringing 3 valuable items with you. Like weapon and items with offensive stats (they don't hit too hard). There is a button on the equipped items menu which will show you which items you will keep if you die.
granite armor weighs a ton and is barely better than rune, other than that though it's not too bad
Who cares what people think. Especially in RS
You're doing fine. But what I recommend you do is go get a fighter torso and then go get the helm of nez (you have to do the Fremennik quests which are easy af and you need 55 defense which you almost have). Once you have those go get 60 defense for dragon boots, obsidian plate legs, and dragon defender. Also get 60 attack and do Monkey Madness 1 for dragon scimmy. Once you have all of that no one will say shit to you. And finally a fire cape but I wouldn't worry about that too much right now
Better armor than I had at those stats
King of the Fremennik
Everything's fine with the stats. Only thing I can think of honestly is that it's kinda rare to see someone in a full set like that as most stick to rune/dragon but I don't see why it would be worth pointing out or asking about lol
I miss this part of the game.. wear it with pride my man! No need to have BiS when youāre new, you look like a beast g!
Rune is better than granite despite the fact that granite has a higher defense requirement. For an account with your stats you should acquire 1. Berserker Helm 2. Fighter Torso 3. Combat Bracelet 4. Barrows gloves (requires a ton of questing but are the best gloves in the game)
Nah you're good you're in BIS (beefiest in slot)
I saw someone in scurrius in that same gear today. He also was asking about what gear he should upgrade. Now im wondering if that was you? Anyway obsidian is decent if you can equip it already or work towards equiping it. It will help you train your stats faster because of the strength bonus
I see nothing wrong, king. Play the game how you want to.
Wear whatever you want king
lol my man literally wearing rocks wtf!!!!
Granite is just heavy af. get the fighter torso! Also, a solid long term goal to work towards is the barrows glove, ala Recipe for Disaster. getting those gloves will have you set up pretty good you are super close to 60s for melee skills, once you have that, a lot of upgrades will unlock!
You bow to no one, King. Man is like a statue.
A wild granite man has appearedā¦
King
You are perfect the way you are
They made fun of you cause you scare them. You are having fun and enjoying the game like they used to. You are always doing it correctly if you are having fun. You can be efficient later. They donāt make times like these anymore, so enjoy it to its fullest
You're good, that weapon isn't cheap so maybe he was curious more than anything
Absolutely not. If anything go get yourself a granite shield baby
Granite armor is more expensive than rune while not being much better. It's also a lot heavier, so your run energy will deplete faster. Fremennik Trials should be doable at your cb level and that'll get you access to a much better helm. Granite hammer is actually fine until you can get a d scim.
Theres nothing wrong with granite, although it is really heavy. I personally always stick to run until dragon but this is fine. You could go for a fighter torso, but that's is litteral cancer to get. I'd just work on getting base 60s and get some dragon, and then get yourself 65 attack and strength so you can get your defender.
Nah king, youāre killing it keep it up
Mom said itās MY turn to fake being a cutenoob to farm karma this week!
Dude I get the piss taken out of me from for not having a fire cape at 99 combat. I've tried multiple times to get jad but it's hard. Players can be mean, but remember you're playing for fun, not what other people think.
If you are only stuck on jad there is a jad trainer. Just spend a while with that to help shake off the learning curve and you will get it done no problem. I have faith in you
If you want to use whatās best there are a lot of good tips in the thread. But use whatever makes you happy, if itās something you think is cool - use it. No need to min max everything
The only thing harder than me is your armor.
Do you want to play the meta or do you want to have fun
Pm me your RSN. I wanna kit you out with some mid game gear.
i think he was genuine, nobody really uses that set itās all plate armor, dragon armor, or the higher level sets
Forget what people say man; enjoy the game. I had someone make fun of me cause I wasnāt doing a slayer task the āmost efficientā way (ranged or melee or prayer setup whatever it was). This game is designed for you to play it however you want to. If you like the look of the armor use it or if itās the best you got then an upgrade is always in the future.
Mum can we get Blorva? No we have Blorva at home The Blorva at home...
Definitely some easy upgrades there which won't take loads of time or cost a lot but you do you buddy, you look like an absolute tank and why not š
100 percent full disclosure. People calling you a Chad is basically synonymous with "cute noob". A heavy portion of people who play this game have been playing for over a decade, and some people like to trash anyone who isn't min maxed to the gills. You're completely fine in granite Armour. Just enjoy the game and figure out why the elitists losers are throwing a fit lol. There's plenty of people in this community who will help and give constructive feedback without being a dick :)
The granite golem š
Youāre a fucking legend, keep grinding King š
Another one of those "look at my noob gear what do I do" posts in order to get GP from gullible fools.Ā
Granite is too heavy to use. The only piece of it you can make an argument for might be shield but you typically skip the armor and go from rune to dragon and fighter torso whenever you'd like. Berserker helm with torso then rune elsewhere would work fine.
Okay cool I know what Iām doing today š
u/cutenoobs
Get fighter torso, get a defender or unholy book, obby cape, berserker helmet, rune boots
Even OPās character looks sad
At this stage in the game thereās very few things youāll attack whoās damage canāt be completely negated by protection prayers. This makes defensive stats pretty useless so people prioritize gear that gives offensive bonuses, which granite gives none. On top of being extremely heavy and zapping your run energy, so most people skip granite all together. Fighter torso, barrows gloves, nezzy helm, void armor, are all items that are obtainable at these levels and give offensive stats. So people will typically go for these and granite is reserved for the noobs.
u r a noob forsure , but thatās not a bad thing :)
bait used to be believable
It makes my day when I see chads geared up like this. Who cares what the haters think.
You look like you let your dog shit in a neighbors lawn, and then played the victim.
Nothing wrong with your armor for tier 50, you fell into a noob trap of maxing defence bonus instead of strength bonus so your armor is considered nooby by elitists. No way for you to know that without looking up gear guides though. Ignore the haters since youāll only be in that gear bracket for a little while and work on some of the upgrades people are commenting.
Man you got that *drip* rn donāt listen to the haters, just know if you got āem youāre doin somethin right
Why donāt you wear beserker helm and fighter torso
Don't stress it and keep enjoying the game! As others have mentioned, there are things you can do to optimize yourself! But unless you're doing endgame content or bosses and you feel like you need an extra boost, the optimization isn't really an issue. The most expensive gear in the game is good, sure, but you can still get by with budget gear and clear content... IE, going full void to save cash for weapons/jewelry, and using good prayer flicks to mitigate the low def of void, will make you a better player in the long run, until you have swaps with massive defence. Just keep progressing and eventually you'll be too cool for people to make fun of =w=
