Ive used guthans in the past but sold it for dragon. I never liked the fact it degrades. In a previous post i read someone stated i only need 2 make 16k an hr to compensate for the degrading. Is that correct? If so what barrows armour should i buy. Im str training with a sara sword atm.

It is about that for repairs.

 

 

 

I would use torag's plate, and verac's skirt.

 

 

 

Everything else has much better options.

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

yeah i agree with the above post.

 

Either get torags top and torags bottom. Or pay the little extra for veracs skirt and get +4 (i think) prayer bonus.

 

Sure it degrades, however if you do alot of slayer you'll get the money to pay for it to be repaired and then some. I think the tip.it guide on barrows armour states that if you let your armour break that the total of the cost of repairing top and bottom is only 170K! Well worth it!

 

So combine this with slayer stuff, rfd gloves and a whip + rune defender and you'll be making alot of money in no time.

 

 

 

However if you want a whole set then i'd say go for one that suits your needs. (i'm basing this on the fact of you killing monsters not pking)

 

If you like your health low and hitting high go for Dharoks (sp?)

 

If you like hitting through monsters that pray (tormented demons and kalphite queen) then go for veracs.

 

If you like your health to remain high then go for guthans.

 

If you enjoy mage it's obvious to go for Ahrims

 

If you enjoy range it's obvious to go for Kahrils (sp?)

 

And I'd leave torags well alone if you want a set as it is pretty dire unless you want the defence bonuses.

Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.


2672nd person to reach 2496 total.

the barrows repair cost is very low. its less than 16k an hour. LESS. if you use a poh armour stand. if you sell barrows simply because it degrades...well...your a fool

I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"

walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come

16k isn't a lot, but the problem is that it's 16k less profit per hour than what you would get if you were using dragon or something. Of course, you have to count in the food saved, the time saved from less eating and less banking, etc. Basically, use Barrows if you need defence and non-degradables if you don't.

 

 

 

The best combo is Torag's plate and Verac's skirt. Helmet of neitiznot is usually adequate defence.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
