Gear progression

Please note that this page has been modified from the original guide authored by Alucardians.

As new armor and weapons are released, these tables may become outdated and might not reflect the most optimal choices available. The original guide focused primarily on starter-friendly progression.

These gear progression tables are intended as a loose representation of potential upgrade paths for players and should be treated as suggestions rather than definitive rules. They provide a general guideline for equipment priorities but individual circumstances, budget constraints, and personal playstyle may warrant different choices.
_{Always consider your specific goals, available resources, and current game meta when making gearing decisions.}

Slayer helmet (i) and other cosmetic variants
The Slayer helmet provides a 15% strength and 12% accuracy (all combat styles) increase when fighting monsters assigned as your Slayer task. While it offers no combat advantages against non-task creatures, it's the optimal choice during any Slayer assignment. Consider switching to alternative headgear when battling monsters outside your assigned task.
