Hello Tip.it, I once left Runescape in 2006 and have returned a few weeks ago only to find the game has changed immensely. With all these changes I was wondering what armor should I spend my money on as armor to train in, full dragon or barrows. I wanted to see what you all prefer and why. Thanks in advance.

For overall training and combat, use barrows. Dragon is just for showing off IMO, it has worse stats, and the costs of repairing barrows is very low, especially because you should only use the plate and legs parts. For a helmet use the helm of Neitiznot and for a weapon use a whip, or sara sword for strength.

I couldn't say it better :)

I never liked dragon anyway, and barrows is cheaper than d plate/chain + it has way better def (torag plate & legs has highest melee def)

If you repair at your playerowned house it's cheapest. I do it everytime my armor reaches 25. The higher your smithing level, the cheaper the repairs are! :)

 

Good luck!

Agreed =]

 

Also, Dharoks Pl8 + Legs, Torag Pl8 + Legs have the same defence. Verac Skirt and Torag/Dh legs have same defence with the exception V skirt has 0 negative mage def to the -4 of torag legs and t legs have 92 range defence to V skirt's 84.

Don't forget the V skirt has +4 prayer bonus which is 1 less than prosy legs.

And Verac's skirt has a +3 prayer bonus, making it invaluable whenever you decide to use boosting prayers while not using protection prayers -- in fact, Proselyte Plate with Verac's skirt is one of the best outfits to use for slayer if you use piety on tasks.

Thanks for the responses guys. So what I gather so far is that it is better to buy Barrows armor for training and that full Dragon is more of a status symbol. Thanks again.

No need to re-post a reply. This guy's summed it up for me.

Full drag. Don't own one piece of Barrows because I'm too cheap to want to repair constantly.
