2. 2

   Bandos chestplate & tassets

   Mid

   ~40m

   The staple melee body/legs for years — high defence with a strength bonus. The upgrade most bossers save for first.

3. 3

   Inquisitor's armour

   High

   ~120m

   Best-in-slot for crush weapons. Only worth it if you fight crush-weak bosses like The Nightmare a lot.

   Best in slot

   ~180m
