Masterwork vs Trimmed Masterwork Armour

[@Villicus]

Custom fitting it also makes it last twice as long in terms of charges btw, wasn't mentioned in the video.

[@TheSgtferg]

Gameuser10 how do you custom fit it? I was confused

[@Villicus]

@@TheSgtferg a dwarf at the artisan's workshop will do it for you, I forget his name.

[@briyawnferguson]

bruh

[@AFROJOE2323]

he did mention it in the video actually 3:56

[@zuko7642]

He said it doesn't degrade during slayer/reaper task. I think that sort of implies that it will last longer. Potentially even more than twice as long if you do a lot of slayer like I do.

[@Discokrieg]

Protoxx, I want to thank you for helping me stay motivated to play RS3. Everytime I'm about to stop I watch a video you do and it makes me want to get back into it. You've been a colossal help.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

cheers mate! but if you're bored of this game don't be afraid to take a break, there are plenty of other great games

[@Discokrieg]

@@ProtoxxGaming Its not so much that I'm bored, it's just very different from what I once knew. As much as I want to enjoy it, it's proving to be quite daunting.

[@Galimeer5]

Regular masterwork is craftable, so if you're broke, an ironman, or just very dedicated, you can get your hands on a full set and all it'll cost is time

[@SaxaphoneMan42]

most budget friendly way is just augment regular masterwork body/legs, spend the rest of your money on perks and it doesn't degrade... definitely in the works of a trimmed set to custom fit for Elite Dungeons and Slayer/Reaper tasks though

[@ChiicooSuavee]

How do you augment regular masterwork?

[@Maximanders]

Great vid. Protox, you are an incredible asset to the RS3 community. Thank you for what you do

I do it with pleasure :D

[@chancelormccary4276]

I did not know it did not degrade in ed3!! That’s amazing I never use my custom fitted trimmed masterwork because I took a break from slayer and I was scared to use it it’s at 99.9% lol looks like I’ll be grinding ed3 with masterwork and scythe for now on!

[@flamer38544]

Even regular takes a min to degrade and if perked put then it's great haha. And also now it's up 25m from when I made it. Time to mine and smith again....

It is crazy, I spend all my money for it. Get Custom-fit trimmed masterwork full set. First Slayer master Lapalok task to kill Airut. After 1 kill on Mazcab all pieces degraded by 1%, Can someone explain what is wrong?

[@larry3083]

its so satisfying to make the armor yourself, ya it take a long time but i like smithing and watching a movie on the side

[@MapleSyrup666]

It's good to say though, that if you're coming from Bandos (T70 Melee power armour). T90 Masterwork is the next best thing. Anima core of Zaros armour is 86M right now for only 3 pieces (helm, chest and legs), and Torva is 184M for the full set. In terms of price and quality, Masterwork is definitly worth it if you're looking to upgrade from Bandos. Then, all the points said in the video for T92.

[@GRIMHOOD99]

Torva is where it is in price because you need torva pieces to make masterwork trim and nex is not exactly easiest boss.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

Yeah agreed.

[@TheMarksmansam]

Thank you, I've been arguing with clan about this forever. Still think tmw would save me so much at ambassador

[@GuillermoPintoG]

Me too, thanks Protoxx

[@AsianRailgun]

Side note, still feel free to use the gloves and boots you wish while still keeping the 3 piece trimmed masterwork effect. I prefer using deathtouch/cinderbanes/lacerations in place of the gloves and boots slots and use trimmed helm/body/legs. It works perfectly while still giving me flexibility with the other gloves/boots passives.

[@ProtoxxGaming]

I do that too

[@chrisujang2674]

And the prices of this armor is 400m+ by the time i'm typing this. Probably many ppl starting to see its true benefit and the price will increase more n more. I recommended gathering the bars, materials from scratch and you'll not regret :) Made my own custom fitted from scratch n equipped perks is crackling4+mobile/ biting4+venomblood (top). Relentless5+invigorating2/ impatient4+devoted2(leg). Love this set so much

[@taserrr]

That's a horrible tip tho, it's extremely unlikely that making this from scratch is efficient. Well, it's definitely not with current money making methods. If you spent say 100 hours getting it from scratch you could've just done araxxor for 30 hours and made the 450 mil that way, and saved 70 hours doing it.

[@chrisujang2038]

Well the joy from building great items from scratch is different type of joy and very satisfying (for me). People have their own preferences too :)

[@sebastianm.9681]

@@sebastianm.9681 Yeah that's not what I said, do what you want if you enjoy it but giving poor advice isn't a good thing.

[@DarkRequiemFilms]

I always make my own armor from scratch. My first trimmed set took me around 5 day because I had to farm the mats and do a Grandmaster Quest (which sucked playing on a phone btw). I've made a few sets since for clan mates and their accounts, I can usually make a full TMW set in about 45-50 hours of game time from scratch.

[@stephenhaley2294]

[@bighouse581]

So basically this turns you into a Brewmaster monk from WOW?

[@byrand4037]

2 questions. 1. Does the regular master work degrade to dust or a broken state in need of repair? 2. The spear of annihilation, does that degrade to dust or a broken state (not the masterwork version). The wiki didn’t really make it that clear.

[@name8895]

But repairing TMW costs 60 million+, whereas normal MW costs like 3 million

[@thecrazyeagle9674]

Then use it only at reaper/slayer and elite dungeons.

[@stephenhoward83]

I was kind of surprised there was no upkeep cost/hr mentioned or talked about specifically. After so many hours of use, the tmw is actually cheaper to upkeep than t90!

[@bigiluma]

If the trimmed variant is augmented, will it still drain divine charge during elite dungeons or does it not use any charges in elite dungeons?

[@Smerdzy]

Yes. Trimmed still drains charges.

[@TornadoSF]

I made it for myself when its arrived, so it cost just the ores..

did u make a video on repairing custom fitted?

[@alexkidd93]

I'm glad I forked out for full trimmed mw, before I staked the rest of my bank and lost. This armour is now my entire bank, I've cleaned out the rest and may rebuild one day for something to do. Currently not playing rs3 and haven't for 6 months now. Staking sucks 😂

[@lordofstuff_]

lmao rs be like that sometimes

[@MrDubz25]

Do I put on the TMW first then get fitted then augment then spike in that order? Or is there a specific order?

[@Brawneteer]

Your math is incorrect at 2:53 for the 7k hit taken with 3 pieces. Each piece worn is 10% taken off the original hit, meaning a 7k hit would deal 5384 damage up front, leaving 1616 damage to be bled over 5 hits of 323 each.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

What about a good armour that doesn’t degrade

[@jarednielsen5041]

I heard that the augmented trimmed custom fit set doesn't lose charge or degrade during slayer, reaper, or elite dungeon. Is it both or does it just not degrage during those activities and locations and still lose charge from the charge pack?

[@qwerty_and_azerty]

Awesome video! Two questions: 1. If I only do slayer, no bossing, is it worth it? 2. If I already bought masterwork and already augmented the top and bottom, is there a way to salvage those towards trimmed masterwork (example, the repair cost), or did I just waste money? Thanks!

[@ProtoxxGaming]

Hmmmm... 1 Depends on your budget, you don't per say need it. If you have a lot of spare cash then just get it 2 Use this item runescape.wiki/w/Equipment_separator

[@qwertyuiopzxcfgh]

If you can spare the money, I'd say yes to 1. Since it doesn't degrade, it actually reduces your hourly upkeep compared to regular MW, so you earn it back in a few hundred hours. It's also great if you plan on tryharding things like ripper demons or moss golems with a cannon.

[@andreinr88]

the better way would be to ask mentenance of it, but onice the budget is maded and mentenance cost is sustain there must be a upgrade to progress in the game, achiving best armour in the game I think is a target

[@HalfNuked]

[@Olomana808]

holy moly, I had no idea it was that expensive for the tmw set now. Made mine during release for maybe 85m. Super helpful, use it whenever I can since it degrades so slow lol.

Custom fit too 🤙

[@hajiabu5176]

Can you augment, custom fit and spike trimmed all at the same time.

[@GRIMHOOD99]

Woah woah woah since when did regular platebody go up by 5M?

[@TheOfficialDaBoogaloo]

masterwork armour is cheaper and trimmed is about 200m more expensive now. i bought masterwork before immediately deciding to just get trimmed and gave the regular masterwork to my friend. custom fitted it too so i'll be good for a while.

[@thijs1444]

your example at 2:57 is wrong. 7000 damage with 3 pieces is 4900 instant damage instead of 4900 as bleed. So 2100 in damage over 5 bleeds.

[@Jasiel.95]

ok.. how long does it take to make? can I make a set in 12 hours? start to finish? or is it a several day project?

[@thedwick5866]

Could always get malevolent in place of masterwork if you want to spend less. Malevolent does degrade but when you're done with it you can just turn it into that malevolent energy

[@ProtoxxGaming]

You can just repair and resell regular masterwork? That seems like a bad choice

[@thedwick5866]

@@ProtoxxGaming upfront cost of malevolent is half of masterwork (30.8m for a full set) and when you get enough money for masterwork you can turn it to malevolent essence (not energy like I misspoke up there ^) so it's a cheaper entrance to t90 power armor if you didn't have 60m for MW and would be enough to get you the gp for tmw. Both are good options just depends how much someone is willing to spend on a melee set

[@ProtoxxGaming]

@@thedwick5866 I know what you mean but you"d be better off sticking with bandos and using cheap elder rune or something instead, you always lose some energies by destroying it in the wild or red portal Edit: I missread your comment.

But to repair Trimmed Masterwork Armour, you'll need an equivalent piece of regular Masterwork armour, which will be consumed in the process, so Trimmed Masterwork (custom fit too) has extremely, EXTREMELY high repair cost.

[@TheOfficialDaBoogaloo]

if you can make the gp to repair it in the time it takes to degrade, you shouldn't even be doing pvm. it doesn't degrade in elite dungeons so literally just do them to make the money when it's at like 10%.

[@greycrimson3228]

Think trimmed masterwork will only be worth it to me at Telos and Rax. The repair cost is just too high

[@letouge]

Grey Crimson outside of elite dungeons and slayer yes; those two are the best solo able bosses for using tmw but you have to realise you take 50% damage of ALL HITS in a single hit and then the other 50% damage is spread over a bleed so it’s super fucking overpowered you can tank a absolute butt load of heavy hitting attacks with trimmed masterwork
