It depends on what you plan on using the armor for. Besides, to be able to use the special of the said barrows armor, you need to be using the great axe or flail with the armor.
Nothing else than the colors. Practically worthless. They aren't tradeable so I just drop them whenever I get them as a reward since they will just take up more bank space.
Craft them yourself if your crafting level is high enough or buy them from players. Go to Varrock bank and there are usually players there crafting d hides.
Seeing that you have 10 blackmarks out of 10, there is very little chance that they will lift the ban on your acct. Just start another pure and see how long it takes you to get that one banned. I don't know why you were banned but you have to change the way you play the game.
I just got pked this morning rcing thru the abyss. I obviously died but I was able to drop my pouches and was able to get them back. I was able to get the pkers name but looks like he added me to his ignore list. Looks like he switched worlds right away. I didn't feel a bit frustrated or mad that I got pked. I can craft full black d hides and have lots of glory ammies. At my combat level it doesn't bother me 1 bit that I got pked. Anything goes in the wild.
This is what I meant when I said they have the same bonus. So when I train range I use black d hide since attack bonus is the same and I'm standing in a safe spot where the monsters can't hit me. Saves a lot of money on repairs in the long run.
So black d hide has better defense against melee based attacks but who wears range armor to fight melee based attacks. What's the mage defense bonus and bonus for range itself?
If I'm not mistaken, both give the same bonus. I have full karil's but I use black dhide for training so I don't have to spend on repairing the karil's armor. I wear full karil's at CW or fight pits.
Just a word of caution. When training you might be reported for macroing because other people might try talking to you and you won't reply to them. If seen a lot of instances when fishing/mining/woodcutting where a player doesnt talk and people who want so badly to become mods report the player for macroing. A person not talking isn't a good reason to report someone. I don't know how long you've been playing RS but there are a lot of wanna-be-mods who like to report people for macroing even though they have no proof other than the person not talking. So they assume the person is macroing. I don't do it but I've seen it happen many times.
