But just how much does it cost to OSRS gold repair (ease of repair isn't a problem since there are NPCs in Lumbridge, Khazard, Burthorpe, Void Knight Outpost, and you may also do it in your home )?
Less if you're doing it on your home and you really have a medium smithing level (50, for instance, will make it cost ~70k). Let's rounded up and call that 100k, just as we're rounding down the cost of Torag's to 300k not 340k. 86*15=1,290, that is the number of hours you would have to be fighting this (not just wearing it) before you spent as much on it as you would a dragon platebody.
For reference, 200 hours are a very long time to receive a skill to 99. This degrades in battle. Not just wearing it. The stats don't degrade gradually. They are good and they then stop when it goes from 25% to 0%. I cannot understand why you would pay substantially more for an inferior part of armour solely depending on the requirement to fork out small amounts of cash every 15 hours of battle. The reason dragon platebodies are so expensive has nothing to do with their utility: it's only because they're difficult to get.
If not I'll be getting a Bgs, then a set of cheap RS gold d claws with any surplus money... After that rest of money goes to leveling mage, pray, summ or herby. . I wont be training that for a short time. . Not until I get 85 def and 90 atk anyways (Out Of 80 and 85 respectively. .) , and 70 range, and possibely even veng l0l. . And then, I would have a cr hopefully.
