Karils x bow isn't very good now.

 

The rune x bow is better, the dark bow, the crystal bow maybe even the msb.

You can't really say anything is better than anything else. They're different. The rune crossbow is still slower than karils, as is the dark bow, despite shooting two arrows at a time. The crystal bow has always been a contender with karil's crossbow as has the msb. They all have their own uses so one is not outrightly better than another.

Karils is good for somethings.

 

 

 

It has a higher mage and range defense bonus, which is good for defense while RCing (mages can't hit if its like 140 + ;))

 

 

 

Its also good for lowering peoples agility in the wilderness course :P

Torags-Best def in game nuf said!

 

Dh- Funning in duel arena, PC I guess (I don't do PC), pking, Training str

 

Veracs- KQ, DK, Pking I guess, Great prayer bonus, staking, dueling

 

Guthans- KQ, Dk, Great Def, phr33 f00d pl0x?, Slayer

 

Karils- Best Mage def in game, X-bow owns, KBD Solo killing

 

Ahrims- Best Mage armor in game

 

 

 

Every armor has a use, there is no 'useless' armor, they all have their purposes.

AFTER ONE HOUR of googeling i'v came to the conclusion that there is no game called real life :evil:

Torag- Duelling

 

verac -Duelling

 

guthan-Duelling

 

dharok-Duelling

 

Kharil -Duelling

 

Ahrim -Duelling

 

 

 

PS.

 

Croziers-Duelling

 

Salamanders-Duelling

 

Furies-Duelling

 

Cbows-Duelling

 

Dds-Duelling

 

 

 

Basically anything thats best of its type (e.g torags best def) is good for duelling-which includes barrows special effects.

Yeah...Some people just go out of their way to ruin other peoples fun.
Sounds like Jagex to me...

Karils is the best mage defence in the game, and Ahrims is the best mage attack in the game, theres two great uses.

Click the pic if you wanna see a Ranged Slayer blog.

Karils full set isn't the most useful, but the top and bottom are my armour of choice in castle wars due to the huge magic bonus and the weapon is great for pking, hits fast and hard.

 

 

 

Veracs is my barrows method of choice, means all runes are pure profit.

 

 

 

Dharoks is fun at fight pits and makes for good strength training on ape atoll.

Thay aren't always that useful

Kharil - Ancient buster in cw

 

Ahrim - For maging.... :-w

Karil's is a godsend for CW/MB/Dragons pking. Its amazing mage def is certainly useful.

 

 

 

Torag's is excellent for a relatively cheap, good set of armor;

 

Verac's, as many people say, is excellent for KQ, staking, and in general any time in which decent def and a prayer boost is required;

 

Guthan's is excellent for slayer and DKs, two amazing moneymakers;

 

Dharok's is actually an excellent str training set, and an amazing pking/DMing tool;

 

Ahrim's is all-around essential for anyone who even hopes to hybrid seriously, no matter where they are in the wilderness.

 

 

 

All of the sets have the general purpose of being excellent, relatively cheap pieces of armour with an added bonus of a special effect.

Just like Columbus he gets murderous on purpose

Torag is better than full dragon?

Controversy and Chaos!!!

Don't forget that Karils is the best armor to use while soloing Daggonoth Rex when you don't want to be pummeled by magic attacks. lol.
