Best barrows set

[Brollygerman]

what is the best melee barrows set?

[nerdattack16]

Hard to say. Guthan is the best for Slayer and lower level training for its healing. Torag is best for cheap yet excellent defense. Verac is awesome for bosses, like the Kalphite Queen, and staking. Dharok is great for strength training. They all have about the same defensive values, though.

[mrmyk]

depends on what you want to do as they all have different bonuses which are better at different things

 

 

 

best def bonus: torag

 

slayer / dk: guthan

 

high hits / pking: dharok

 

kq / assorted boss monster killing: verac

It's not like crystal, even at 25% is has the exact same stats as when full.

 

 

 

I don't know how the smithing level thing works; i'd assume since 99 smithing is half price, with 51 smithing you will be paying roughly 75% of what it would normally be, but that is nothing more than an assumption.

 

 

 

As for the best barrows set, it depends entirely on what you do with it. With the exception of the full torag set (the armour alone is very good though), they are all "best" under certain curcumstances. I wouldn't want guthans for kqing, or veracs for slayer, but switch the use and they're the best there is.

cool.. i think i buy..omg idk what to buy...im not a staker or pker so no dh i think...

No, there are no shields. I would go with verac. Great looks, awesome special, great prayer bonus and useful for lots of things. (Kq, Barrows, slayer (when using prayer) staking and just all around owning.)

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps,

If you're going for training just in general...ugh, well, you probably don't want dharoks, because dharoks owns completely for strength training, and it's a great thing to have when going to something like dagganoths, but guthans is great for training in general, along with torags and veracs.

 

 

 

 

 

If you're short on cash, get torags for sure, if not verac/dh/guth

Hmm, I don't think that's the real reason why you can't buy all 4 sets. Also in your sig is says you're 65 defence, so you should train to 70 before you buy any barrows sets. Guthan is best for slayer, bandits, monster camping etc. Veracs is mainly used in Fight Pits/KQ/Armour On Staking. Dharok is for either noob 4 item Edge pkers, or crazy people who actually skull and then say "oh noes" when they get farcasted :\. Torags Hammers are useless, the armour is the cheapest and yet the best defence bonus for nubs :)

[merchant444]

guthans best for slayer or just if u train a lot....veracs good for staking torags is ok....dh for ...idk

[IMshadow7]

It all depends on what you want to do. Each barrow set is tailored to some unique purpose.

 

 

 

Torag: useless as a set, but has really strong armor stats and is fairly cheap for those stats. You can use torag legs and plate for good defense and then mix it with other weapons/armor.

 

 

 

Dharok: used to be good for training since it can hit so high, but only under very limited circumstances (so limited that you would have to be training, basically). I've found that a whip with a black mask (if you're doing slayer) is stronger though, so fairly useless.

 

 

 

Guthan: can be used to heal you. I don't like this set either; I've found that in MOST situations, you would be better off spending a couple minutes to bank for more food than to waste time healing while using a weapon that's weaker than a whip. Despite that, there are some times where the healing is essential, such as Fight Caves or Morning's End 2.

 

 

 

Verac: this set is very good for killing high-level monsters and players (as long as you don't need a shield). It gives prayer bonuses, which is important in these situations. It pierces through defense, which is very important as it's hard to hit strong levels. Also, it can pierce through prayer, which is good against players and the KQ.

To calculate how much you save on repairing your own barrows armor use this formula:

 

Round up Smithing lvl to even number then divide in half

 

Ex:

 

For 99 smithing: 99 up to 100 / 2 equals 50% off normal rates

 

For 50 Smithing: 50 / 2 equals 25% off normal rates

 

For 25 Smithing: 25 up tp 26 / 2 equals 13% off normal rates

if u get dh= go pest control im lvl 87. i get 870gp per game, after 100 tickets from novice boat my repair costs usually even out @ 55 smithing. and it's fun 2 test ur max. [novice boat always wins]

That's not actually true; it's just lvl/2 %, there's no rounding involved. I'm 99; I can verify that it's not actually quite 50% off.
