Well there's something else now to encourage you to do treasure trails: 3rd age armor! This stuff is currently the hardest armor in the game to obtain. It comes from lvl 3 clues, and has been seen by only a few lucky players. Requires lvl 65 def to use, and is better than dragon. (Especially the shield!) There is a set for mages, rangers and warriors alike. Current MP prices (If you even see one in the Marketplace) are 20m and beyond. My recomendation: Go do some lvl 3 clues, and go look in the knowledge base! Post any pictures or comments about 3rd age armor here. EDIT: There appears to be a glitch that allows third age ranged and melee to be used on f2p! thats right, armor better than dragon on free to play servers.....Watch those melee and ranged 3rd aged prices skyrocket! (Shield is 100m now  ) |

The new melee armor looks cool, but based on the stats the mage armor is identical to Infinity, and the ammulet is worse then an ammy of magic. I just briefly glanced at the rangers armor, but I think it was about the same as black dragonhide.
The melee armor is better then dragon, meaning the prices of dragon will start dropping as people do more lvl 3 clues. Barrows armor is still the best, but since it's expensive to maintain, I think this 3rd age melee armor will be in very high demand.

Ok so...
3rd age full set def bonus- 294 slash (has no str bonus)
Rune full set def bonus - 209 slash
Torags with obby shield - 302 slash
Dharoks with obby shield - 292 slash
Full guthans w/obby shield- 292 slash
Full Veracs w/ obby shield- 277 slash
Full dragon - 246 slash
So even if you get full third age... its about 90m right now for full......or you could keep full torags which is better defence and you could recharge it over 300 times before you pay the same price...thats from 0
so personally.
ill stick to the torags...

The idea behind nonbarrows armor is that you retain the value. Now, the price for 3rd age stuff will go down I'm sure, but lets say we wait to buy it until the price is stabalized. Then, you can buy it, use it for a while, and sell it again without having lost any cash. Torags, however, is a constant drain on total GP value, meaning if you buy it, use it, then sell it you've lost cash. It's true that the prices of 3rd age armors are insane right now, but provided that you have the cash for it once the prices have stabalized, it would turn out to be a better invenstment then barrows armor.

What about the obby shield? Meh, 3rd age kite looks cooler, and I'd rather have better defense than a strength bonus. Not to mention 3rd age entitles you to bragging rights. ;D And I just saw a 3rd age kite in-game at Barbarian Assult......wow, It looks so cool! It has dark blue trim and the back is completely dark blue. And it's really big, not to mention oval, not kite shaped. ^_^ |
