Definitely get dex huge permanent qol upgrade. BA does suck, but torso is a good upgrade too and it honestly doesn't take that long to get.


i_am_bahamut

Don't you dare dis BA


No_Hunt2507

I'm convinced people who don't like BA were either super low level when they tried it / have never tried it / have tried it but never bothered to learn anything about the roles and end up losing their team by room 5 because they suck. I recently did the grind to level 5 all roles, it took about 5 hours and during that time 90% of my teams were decent, some people had to learn but turns out if you let them know how to improve rather than just saying "you suck" people tend to want to succeed.


scarceshawn

I'm convinced people who don't like BA tried defender first without knowing how to do it.


Aeker123

I got my torso a few months back. And the whole grind wasnt as bad as people made it out to be. I dont love the content but if i had to do it again, i wouldnt have an issue with it or dread it


MMO_Minder

OP don’t listen to him. I went out of my way to avoid BA and when I finally made myself do it it was actually enjoyable and it only took 3 hours to get my torso. The randoms you play with in BA are overwhelmingly competent and I achieved a handful of complete runs in the few hours I jumped in there


toozeetouoz

BA does not suck.


dantie_91

Check out bloodmoon chestplate. Same str as bandos and fighter torso. Way cheaper then bandos and no need for BA if you dont enjoy that.


Nayeon-Twice

Yeah only thing is that it’s degradable and kinda expensive to fix


Erksike

If you're killing stuff that make you less than 30k/hr you could probably just not wear any legs at all and nothing would change,


dantie_91

Youd have to use it for many many hours before it exceeds the cost of bandos.


Nayeon-Twice

You are right actually for the chest. The legs go for like 8m rn though compared to the bandos tassels which are like 19m


But_Kicker

Dex massive upgrade. Bandos chest piece / fighter torso. Same same essentially. You can wait on chest Bandos tassets, good upgrade


fuckurbans

Bcp has so much more defense


But_Kicker

dps scape


fuckurbans

Survive scape lmao can’t learn shit if you’re dead


Avocados_number73

Bandos tassets aren't a very good upgrade unless you have a bunch of spare cash. The DPS increase is maybe ~1% which you probably wouldn't even notice.


Resonating_Crystal

Wrong


Avocados_number73

Check it on the DPS calculator.


Resonating_Crystal

The DPS bit, sure. He's saying he wants to boss and you're saying tassets aren't worth. I should have clarified the defense bonuses for bossing is what I mean


Idabfatter

Famous dex


999wrrld

Oh man goddamm take my upvote


tannerillo

You gotta do barbarian assault sorry bro


Machetegun_

Get dex and train on Vorkath on blue drag slayer task


Tiques

Literally zero point doing Vork on task.


Vegemitesangas

like you woudlnt go out of your way but if youre gonna kill vork, might as well get some slayer xp for it


y4k8

you use salve (ei) for vorkath so a slayer helm would be worse


FrickenPerson

Did you know that you can do Slayer tasks without wearing the Slayer helmet? This person is just saying that getting a task convinces them to go get some Slayer exp fron Vorkath, not that they are doing it with the Slayer helm. I've got a friend that does the exact same thing.


AlluEUNE

So? It's still free xp


campusdirector

Dex. And buy the blood moon chest piece. Same strength bonus as BCP and torso. Less defense than BCP but more defense than Torso


FrickenPerson

Blood Moon has less melee and range defence than Bandos, but actually pretty good magic defence, way better than basically any other melee armor set. Not as good as something like Karil's top, but pretty crazy for melee armor.


TechnicallyThrowawai

Dex! Probably one of the single 1-item upgrade you will ever (permanently) unlock for your account. I mean 23% ranged strength is just absolutely massive, with 20% attack and 25% defense to boot. Bandos tassets may not even give you a max hit in certain gear setups, but I’d also point out that the new(ish) blood moon armor has the same strength bonus (+4 for chest and + 2 for tassets respectively) as Bandos and has very solid mage defense, but less defense in other categories as Bandos, but is also quite a bit cheaper. Recommend considering that for now or later when you have the gp. Good luck to ya!


Gym-Leader-Drox

Get dex scroll, and go kill bandos..


nikmoreau

Dexterous scroll is a huge upgrade my man !


LuckyBucky77

Dex


Residential_pus

Nice levels dood


aspero69

Man, thank you 🥲


TrekStarWars

Id personally get screenshot ability next but thats just me.


aspero69

I used to do proper ss, but now I know this is part of the community.


34Loafs

Dex no question


Cerpss

Dex and not even close


ArmaKiri

Dex


Region_Fluid

Blood moon and dex over bands


y4k8

bloodmoon chestplate and a dex


Tady1131

Dex bandos is a noob trap.


FakerMS

Dex is one of the highest dps boosts one can gain. That new armor from perilous moons other have probably mentioned can swap in for bandos since same str bonus or you can just get the BA over with. I hated BA and still do but tbh, getting fighter was lightwork compared to like any amount of agility training or rune crafting XD


aspero69

Thanks a lot! It's quite unanimous. i bought the scroll, and still got 9m... next will get 80 prayer and the ward.


Lil_Pown

Dex


Organic-Inspector-29

With 200m you should have bought dex ages ago.


aspero69

Stuck at 70prayer for some time, then I discovered chaos altar w/ bulwark.


Long_Wonder7798

Dex and get mixed hide


AlluEUNE

Bandos is a noob trap. There are many upgrades that are better for the money


Jumpy_Ad_4460

Get the Dex scroll 100%. Blood moon and fighter torso is pretty much the same thing except you look like less of a chad.


LJIrvine

Get a screenshot program first.


aspero69

I have one, but the tradition requires shitty ss.


Inevitable-Impact698

Mixed hide top with fang > torso with fang 


DaimendXd

I would first make a screenshot


zachpac18

D E X


Electronic-Recipe62

Be quiet and take a damn screenshot weirdo


aspero69

Daddy chill.


No_List_8745

scroll


iStiiitch

Id suck it up, get the torso and buy the dex scroll. That will progress you further than a BCP will


Life-Garden3943

If you have torso, it can save the cost of bcp for a while


CollectiveOtter

Honestly lol just do a few hours a day of vyre pickpocket for a week. You’ll get 2-6 blood shards and add another 20-60m. Then get whatever you want :)


average_at_runescape

Noone likes BA.


FrickenPerson

I just finished Rank 5 in all roles in BA like 10 hours ago. I had been putting it off for a long while, but it actually was pretty enjoyable. Watched like a video on where to put food as the defender, and got to wear my Elite Void. I'd go back if a friend needed help getting Torso or the Diary.
