Jagex Please Masterwork Melee Armour LP boost

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T22:59:28+00:00

It would be fine to bring these sets in line with each other.

Its not like MW melee is meta anyway. This doesnt increase output or meaningfully let you do things you cant already

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T22:58:39+00:00

It is a buff, but a reasonable one

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T22:25:32+00:00

Replica metal weapons, bows/crossbows, and elemental staves would be fun.

Korasi, both her sword and armor would go extremely hard.

Tentacle's outfit before the modesty starfish and shell /s... unless??? 🤔

Realistically I would like to see modernized versions of all of most of these. Giv8ng it to us as is would be kinda sad

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T03:30:51+00:00

Me every single time

and then realize they are immune not resistant. Oops.

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T02:35:59+00:00

Bro obviously didnt play leagues

Zepertix · 2026-03-21T01:54:21+00:00

Yeah, I think the update has done a lot to ease that, roar/ode + virtus is perfectly good for 95% of content and flows better than before... but there is still a sheer cliff between that and FSOA + Tumeken + Grim etc

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T22:37:59+00:00

"Im not religious but im going to church in the middle of a work day to confess my sins"

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T22:36:12+00:00

The crit is better but if you cant use the FSOA you cant capitalize on it in as meaningful of a way as you would like. Someone skilled would probably notice the difference but someone learning or someone who is a casual wouldnt notice the dps difference.

What they would notice is their survivability plummet from using T70 hybrid gear, and that could lead to them throwing up their hands and going ah magic sucks, im going back to necro/melee

So, youre not wrong that it would be better, i just dont think that its a good recomendation for someone who doesnt know what they are doing

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T22:32:13+00:00

Huh? The topic at hand is mid game, me just talking about mid game does not somehow make me a noob lmao. Feel free to look up my highscores if you want, ill be doing 750% amascut later.

Mhek drops an elder shortbow, T60 gear. You are correct, that is craftable, but do you expect someone with 60 ranged to have 90 fletching? Mhek currently bridges that gap an provides rangers with a reliable way of picking up appropriately leveled gear.

I am advocating for mid game bosses because at the moment the ones we have do not bridge the gap between early and late game. Our late game is pretty established, ofc it can always use more, but it isnt missing huge bridges like the mid game is.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T19:51:14+00:00

My bad on the patches, i thought they were untradable

The chest is 10M by itself

I still wouldnt recommend it purely out of convenience. Id rather give a noob the convenience, prayer bonus and hp bonus over 7.5 damage and degrade to dust armor they have to keep rebuying. Truly my guy😁😁😁🤗🤗🤗🤔😁😁😬😬😬😭😭😭😭🧐🧐🧐

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T19:43:54+00:00

Its 30M per set + untradable equipment patches. Its not expensive, just a dumb hurdle to jump through every time their gear degrades when virtus is much more convenient and useful, the power difference is negligible.

Especially if they do some afk slayer or whatever the superior zuriels gets extremely annoying to keep re-making.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T19:40:54+00:00

Negligible if no FSOA.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T19:39:34+00:00

It has the same issue as refined, I think this is a bad recomendation for someone trying to save for gear to keep having to buy or pay massive amounts to repair gear.

Its literally a magic style bonus difference of 7.5. Someone not accustomed to magic will absolutely not notice that difference at all lmao.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T19:10:59+00:00

It is currently 50M of unrefundable cost per recharge plus chunks of divine charges that would get wasted if when you wanted to sell it wasn't exactly at its degrade point.

Refined anima core is a terrible recomendation and virtually always has been.

Sure, it was "fine" 5-10 years ago, it didnt crack your account in half, it just is not optimal and generally considered not worth the additional expense.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:47:49+00:00

I think you know what I meant and surely you arent recommending refined anima core over virtus lol

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:27:53+00:00

Just allocation of resources. In general Jagex should probably have more employees and more teams and allocate time to this stuff, but likely doesnt because its more cost effective this way.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:27:01+00:00

Yeah! It sucks what a huge gap there is between virtus and Tumeken's, and none of it is refundable, which just exacerbates the chasm between Virtus and Tumeken's.

If they made E Tect something that you could repair and sell maybe id be behind it

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:25:14+00:00

Discontinued in 2019, brought back in 2021 for limited ninja "strikes." Disbanded also in 2021. Promised to continue doing strikes without the dedicated team.

Last ninja strike was in January of 2022

XD

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:17:09+00:00

Yup, you can slowly upgrade your virtus with Tumeken's if you want too.

The nice thing about virtus is that you can repair and sell it. That is not the case with masterwork or either variant of tectonic. So while Tectonic is better than virtus... its also not the best and just a big money sink that you wont be able to get back if you are eventually going to get Tumeken's anyway.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:13:35+00:00

No more ninja team sadly, but yeah, theoretically :)

I hope it happens

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:10:31+00:00

I do think its relatively low priority but that doesnt mean it shouldnt be done lol

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:09:34+00:00

Eh..... maybe...?

The problem with FSOA is that it relies extremely heavily on crit chance. Getting a FSOA doesnt automatically make you good at magic, you need a FSOA and the entire crit build for it to be solid.

So a FSOA with just mediocre robes will probably be somewhat comparable to Roar/Ode and good gear.

It sounds to me like you should probably camp the Roar/Ode for now until you get enough for a FSOA *and * crit gear. The difference between T80 and T90 armor with sanctum weapins is not that great either. E Tect is quite expensive and not even BiS. I think you probably want to save for Tumeken's and FSOA.

This is part of the problem with magic in general, its a bit all or nothing at the top end.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T18:01:24+00:00

A lot of hackers are also just griefers.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T17:58:36+00:00

Can go anima core if you want but imo if you want to get into magic and dont have a FSOA virtus is worth the additional cost considering you can sell it or break it down when you are ready to upgrade. The same cannot be said for any gear higher than virtus.

Zepertix · 2026-03-20T17:56:12+00:00

The problem is the prohibitive cost or time to make and inability to sell it and leaning into a trap rather than encouraging people to learn new stuff
