+aim and +power suits of armour

In the past there has been debates as to which is better, +power or +aim, so I set out to test them.

Aim suits add to your attack level and power suits add to your strength level.

In theory a power suit will increase your maximum hit and the aim suit will increase your chances of hitting higher. What I found was it depends on the creature you are fighting.

I am assuming that all creatures have similar stats to players, a strength, attack, defence and health level. The values the creature has and your own values determine what is best to use.


For instance, a dino (Waranerus, Honorus, Stemosaurus, Roodarus) has high defence levels, so to get a good hit on it you need a high attack level. As +aim suits increase your attack numbers, an aim suit is best to use here.

That is an example that works well for everyone as the dino's are so high level. For lower level creatures it all depends on your own levels.

I found with my combat levels, and using a Platina axe, it was better to use a +power suit for fighting grey bats than the aim kit. I got more one hit kills, which meant faster xp and less food usage.

I switched to using the platina 2 handed sword and the aim suit then became more effective, probably becouse the different in stats than the platina axe.

So to work out roughly what you should be using, I would say if the creature has a level that is a few levels below you or higher, use an aim suit. If the creature is quite a few levels below you, the power suit may be better.

Without knowing the exact combat stats of each creature, this is just a rough guide. Some creatures may be a low combat level yet have a high defence value (you are more likely to miss or hit them for a lower number), which means aim would be better. So testing suits for a few hours is still the best way to determine which is best for each creature.
