Players who choose to gain 5 defence usually complete A Soul's Bane. This will allow the player to complete Varrock medium/hard diary in the future if they choose to further quest their defence to 25. One-defence pures who accidentally level their defence can consider training to 5 defence for the unlocks whilst not losing too many combat levels.
