Armour/Highest bonuses

This page lists the items with the highest specific bonuses for each slot.

Note that you can not directly compare weapons since they all have different speeds. For instance a setup with a maximum hit of 30 and a speed of 4 should have a damage output roughly equal to a setup with maximum hit of 45 and speed 6. In other words don't consider the weapons listed on this page to be "best" just because they have the highest bonuses, often that means these weapons are also very slow.

To compare weapons you should ideally use a DPS (Damage per Second) calculator. The OSRS Wiki offers its own DPS Calculator.
