Why do people buy Granite shields?

[LesbianGhost]

Granite shield (Costs around 100k+ remember)

Defense: 40 Stab, 42 Slash, 38 Crush, 0 Magic, and 65 Ranged, Attack: -12 Magic, -8 Ranged

Rune kiteshield - (Costs around 50k)

Defence: stab 44, slash 48, crush 46, magic -1, range 46, Attack: Magic -8, Range-2

Other than the range and -1 mage defence the rune kiteshield is a lot better, and cheaper. Why do people spend more money on a worse shield? Unless it's just for looks.

[Ashley 12344]

They probly think its better

[LesbianGhost]

I have to admit it looks better.. But what's the point in spending more money on a worse shield.

Especially when a rune kite is better than it if not just the same and is only 50-55k...

But it dose look good :P

[jamie4k]

I got mine for 90k and might sell for 100k and use my other shield..

[-Paul]

You should :-)

[Ziabotsu]

Looks better. xD

[Rashelly]

The same reason people wear castlewars armour (which is terrible).
It's all about "the look" :o

I HATE Castlewars armour!

[-Paul]

I HATE Castlewars armour!

Amen to that.

[Ezzie.]

It's ok if you wanan go fire giants with rune knives

[lukeisok]

Castle wars armour is nasty, i only like the hoods and capes,

I think people buy them beacause it looks better [ Granite shield ]

[Ziabotsu]

Yes, I love granite shields, but I agree with you. Castle wars armour is nasty, once a noob in world 1 was going around saying 'LEWK AT MAH DRAGOON ARMOR!' Hopeless, it really is.

[LesbianGhost]

It's the same with full dragon armour, it's costs around 40mil but isn't as good as barrows. Full Dharok - about 8mil? and it's way better.. It's all just for looks.

[Ziabotsu]

Yes, but I'd rather have full Ahrims <3

[BlueTails]

Indeed, I'd Prefer To Have Cheaper But Better Instead Of Expensive And Rubbish

[Ashley 12344]

its like a level 7 wo in full castle wars armour, everyone wo saying he must b best level 7 ever. but he wo just a leech, goes into cw and lets ova ppl earn him tickets

[Ezzie.]

Please type in full words mate it's hard to figure what wo and wa mean =S

[Ashley 12344]

Its like a level 7 was in full castle wars armour, everybody was saying he must be best level 7 ever, but he was just like....a leech, go into castle wars and let other people earn tickets.

I type properly most of time, dunno why i havent today.

[Iambikez]

It depends what castle wars amour though, the red one looks ugly but the white and blue look ownage.

[Sank]

Its all for the looks 'darling.

Lmao. <3.

[PS2.]

You're all wrong, They use it for the 65 Ranged defense.

[LesbianGhost]

You're all wrong, They use it for the 65 Ranged defense.

People buy them for the ranged deffence, I have one in my bank just for when I duel rangers. When you see people walking around with them fighting melee people they're most likely noobs- who've probably dueled people with a granite sheilds before, who they couldn't hit, and assumed it was because of their sheilds.

Also some monsters do range; for example the rangers outside the games room and throwing ogres are pretty strong, bringing a granite sheild might help. (The orgres are extremely strong if you haven't got armour on, I've been there before whilst getting climbing boots and they almost killed me).

Edit: Also granite sheilds are better for pking as they don't suffer as bad from mage as a rune kite/d sq would.

People in the red/blue armour most oftenly have that on because they can't afford better armour, or because they don't know how rubish it is.
Somtimes higher levels have it on because they want to show how much they play castle wars, and having the silver or gold armour on is a bit more understandable.

[PS2.]

And what monsters range..?
Noob?

[LesbianGhost]

Noob?

Lol.. You'll find I'm not a noob. It's called sarcasm. Even if I was - That has what to do with granite shields..?

[PS2.]

It doesn't, just saying that you don't know what monsters range you must be a noob.

[ssricky]

And what monsters range..?
barbarians they throw those throwing axes :d

[LesbianGhost]

It doesn't, just saying that you don't know what monsters range you must be a noob.

It was called sarcasm, because basically none do, I notice you haven't made any comments as to what monster range, so I guess you're a 'noob' too?

[RedMaggot]

.... The stats to me dont really matter, I dislike the rune when PK'ing or waring as it has a lower range def, A few does not seem alot, But trust me, You are better off with a granit if you are VSing a ranger.

You're a noob for calling her a noob >.<

[Ashley 12344]

Ye, lgs not a noob :@
