Are the Bandos Tassets worth it?
Yes, they are worth it, providing you have enough money to afford them and can’t buy any immediately better items. However, in general for players on a budget they aren’t going to be worth the money. It will be better to invest in weapons or items that boost your damage by a more significant amount than the tassets.
Similarly, if you are rich enough then you can opt for the Torva platelegs, as they are a direct upgrade to the Tassets.
