In this segment of the video, Pettyfatty Cake introduces the third and final installment of their gear progression guide, focusing on melee skills. They discuss how melee progression is more niche compared to mage and range, highlighting the importance of gearing based on the GP value due to the faster acquisition of skills. Pettyfatty Cake starts with the max free-to-play setup, featuring the iconic full Rune and Rune scimitar, requiring level 40 in attack and defense. The video then progresses to the initial membership upgrades, recommending a dragon scimitar and other affordable items like the Amulet of Glory, combat bracelet, and climbing boots. Additional recommendations include acquiring a blessing and the Explorer’s ring for prayer bonuses. Key early mid-game untradables are discussed, such as the dragon defender and Helm of Neitiznot. Completing the Recipe for Disaster quest to unlock the best-in-slot gloves and grinding for a torso in Barbarian Assault is also advised.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses several important upgrades and items for early to mid-game progress. They recommend acquiring a Fire Cape for its great defensive and offensive bonuses and later suggest Dragon Boots for added melee strength and defense. They also advise getting a Barrow’s leg piece, favoring the Verac’s Skirt for its defense and prayer bonus. A Warrior Ring is noted as a temporary but beneficial addition for its slash bonus.
Further upgrades include the iconic Abyssal Whip, useful across various activities. The Amulet of Fury is highlighted for its prayer and defense bonuses, while the Berserker Ring (i) is esteemed for its significant strength increase. The speaker also mentions upgrading to Abyssal Legs for best-in-slot benefits until Bandos Tassets are affordable and enhancing the Abyssal Whip with a Kraken Tentacle for additional melee bonuses.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses advanced weaponry and special attack tools for high-level combat, starting with a slash weapon that requires 75 attack strength. The importance of special attack weapons is emphasized, mentioning the Dragon Dagger for low-defense enemies and the Crystal Halberd for its powerful, though inaccurate, attacks.
The speaker also highlights the Amulet of Torture for its balance of accuracy and strength, and cost-effectiveness. For high-defense monsters, the Osmumten’s Fang is recommended due to its unique double-roll accuracy mechanism, making it superior to the tentacle whip in certain scenarios. The tentacle whip remains effective for low-defense or slash-weak targets.
The segment touches on the Bandos God Sword, valued for its ability to decrease monster defense and its versatility across multiple dungeons like God Wars, Chambers of Xeric (Cox), and Theatre of Blood (TOB). The speaker also urges viewers to like and subscribe to their channel for support.

The Light Bearer ring is recommended for situations that require frequent special attacks, such as Tombs of Amascut and Chambers of Zeric, but not for Theater of Blood or Slayer tasks where the Berserker ring is preferred.
The speaker also recommends the Primordial boots for better accuracy and melee strength, and the face guard for its melee strength and prayer bonus. Upgrading to Bandos tassets is mentioned for better tankiness and slight melee strength improvement. The Dragon Warhammer is highlighted as essential for its defense-draining special attack, especially in high-level content like the Theater of Blood and the Chambers of Zeric.

The Void Waker and Dragon Claws are compared, noting the Dragon Claws’ dominance in low-defense scenarios like the Theater of Blood and other high-DPS content.
The Bandos chest plate is recommended for its offensive bonuses, prayer, and defense benefits, although it is typically acquired later in progression due to its cost. The segment also covers weapon choices for low-defense monsters, recommending the Rapier for its balance of affordability and effectiveness in various scenarios, while the more expensive Salve Blade is suggested for those focused on the Theater of Blood who cannot yet afford a Scythe.

However, it requires blood vials and blood runes to charge, making it expensive to use.
Next, the presenter covers the Torva helm and set, emphasizing that the helm requires 80 strength to wield and offers significant strength and defensive bonuses, making it the best-in-slot equipment.
They move on to new Desert Treasure rings, with the Altar ring providing a +4 strength bonus over the Berserker ring, making it a priority upgrade for players doing activities like the Theater of Blood or Slayer tasks. The Bellator ring, enhancing accuracy, is recommended for speedier raids, particularly against specific bosses.
