it really depends on what you are using the set for (show off? Training? Dueling?) Karil's set is ok, though not really worth the money for the set. The x Bow is good, albeit the ammo is expensive, and you cant pick them up Ahrim's set is one of the best (if not the best), mage armor set. The weapon is officially the most useless barrow piece. Torags set has already been described above Guthan's set is the most expensive, and it has a reason. It covers the cost of your food when training, because it has the leeching effect. which means if you are training melee, the only time when you need to bank is when you are full on loot. Dharok's set is for training/dueling, due to its high damage, though I personally believe that the set is too risky either way as it is the slowest weapon of all the barrows. Verac's is used for its prayer bonus, and for its armor ignoring effect, very powerful in dueling. (second most expensive, though its about 1/2 of that of guthan)
