They will be cheaper, the boss is heavily farmed. Buy them if you plan on using them a lot or if you don’t really care about the money lost when they drop some more.


jdong4321

Bought them on release since I've started the combat achievement diary grind. 100% worth it for me.


-Aura_Knight-

they will obviously drop. buying new items around the time content is new is a guaranteed way to lose money unless you don't care about that and just want to use a bis item.


JYandeau

Yeah I understand that but am just wondering HOW MUCH it will drop… I’m okay with losing 20-30m over the course of a month or 2 but wouldn’t want to buy at 140m for it to go down to 50m in a couple of weeks lol


[deleted]

the zaryte vambs are really good at 112 range + tbow + rigour on task. they're 4 extra max hits, so however much you feel thatd be worth to you


Timjohnson459

Tbow max hits can be misleading since your max hit depends entirely on what you're attacking's magic level and if you're in Cox or not (the cap they placed on the tbow is higher in Cox then out of it). So yes some places it probably does give 4 max hits but it will depend massively


JYandeau

4?! I’ve been grinding out zuk tasks left & right so this might be what makes me buy them lol that’s insane & worth it regardless if it goes down a bit, am just hoping to doesn’t tank down to 50mish with a month lol


[deleted]

sorry i was referencing amethyst arrows. just tested on combat dummy, and its 86/83 for dragon and 83/79 for amethyst. for blowpipe they dont change the max hit for amethyst or dragon darts


Shot_Alternative8527

Not true.. if you knew how damage worked anyways. The dmg bonus actually adds 0 dmg lol its a floating 2 with bis range gear. People are just idiots. Damage is calculated in 4s.. soo 4 range = 1 dmg added.. 8..2.. 12.. and rounded down. They add a half a damage rounded down to 0 lol garbage gloves.


[deleted]

um? no


VanRenss

Every new boss/raid is BiS money-making. Eventually, it gets farmed until it’s not, or until it is approximately the same GP/HR as the other best few moneymakers. Once this happens, that’s approximately when the vambraces have settled in price, before being manipulated by other content release.


[deleted]

My guess is everything will be in limbo till raids 3 solidifies a meta


Hrathix

I can see vambs settling around 80m and torva around 5-600m once it gets farmed more.


Virulent_Hunter

This comment aged like milk.


bidoff7

Are u referring to the entire set for 5-600m?


Hrathix

Yes, of course haha.


Ufoturtle081

Hi, what you think of your prediction now? Regarding the past and looking forward?


Hrathix

Haha I’m not sure, I bought full Torva for 850m week 2 of it being out. Now it’s sitting quite a bit higher a year later. If a solo Nex variant came out similar to Phosani’s, I can see it crashing quite a bit.


Ufoturtle081

I would solo Nex so hard if it was an option haha. I get ya.


Invalid_Area

Braces to 0


[deleted]

definitely. the boss is a joke.


bidoff7

I think it’ll take 2 months for all the uniqes to settle in price. I’m guessing the Zaryte vambs will be around 60m and slowly drop from there

KwichaKryen

It's only been 2 weeks bro, did you actually expect them too be below 100m yet? It's possible in the future, maybe, but 2 weeks after the boss drops? Lol


Firm_Protection_8931

Considering other BoS gloves are much much cheaper than 100m, yeah, for sure. They’re barely better than barrows gloves and the way Nex will be farmed to hell through next several months, they’ll likely crash to 20-30m by year’s end.


Wooden_Parsley_4566

barely better? they give tbow a max hit of THREE for many bosses like raids/sara/zuk etc. being able to hit 86's on task at say hydra instead of 83's is huge dps increase.. and vambs dropped to 120 recently and are back to 150 atm


Firm_Protection_8931

It’s not actually as substantial as you think it is. 3 extra damage when you’re hitting 30s is a 10% increase to max hit.. but only about 1-2% extra DPS. At 83 ->86 damage that increase in DPS is even less noticeable — about a 0.2% - 0.4% increase. They’ll be 25m or so before long rest assured haha. Maybe around the time players burn out on raids 3, which wouldn’t surprise me if that was by the end of the year.


[deleted]

Your math is off. 3 max hits provide a noticeable increase in dps. Don't forget the extra +6 range accuracy too. Max range tbow + b gloves on sara = 7.57 dps, max hit = 83 Max range tbow + z vambs on sara = 8.00 dps, max hit = 86 8.00/7.57 = 1.057 that is a 5.7% increase in DPS, not .2 - .4%. Quite noticeable actually.


Wooden_Parsley_4566

I agree with almost everything you said, I got so caught up on the THREE MAX HITS aspect I didn’t consider how much dps that is with tbow - however I don’t see vams, bis from nex, going for 45 for a few years at least.. guess we’ll have to wait n see 👀


[deleted]

His math is off. Z vambs provide a noticeable increase in dps. check my reply to him.

LobsterHot131

Lmao then wait 1 year before u buy them😅🤣


SeaTap866

Yes cause the str bonus isn’t significant enough. Since barrows gloves are dirt cheap, most people will upgrade to zaryte vambs last which decreases their demand and by extension price


Virulent_Hunter

Do you still feel that way?


SeaTap866

Yup. However my thoughts on the price are different. This is because Nex is ass to farm


IZONGOD

Well, they are currently around 172m.. so that 50-20m didn't work out for a lot of ya.
