3. At what range lvl should I attempt tzhaar fight caves for a fire cape, and how much money should I get for equipment , or is dhide sufficient

Without your stats it's impossible to give a proper answer.

You've never played BA before, then? If so, you don't really have any business trying to get a Fighter Torso. You can't get it in a reasonable time frame (i.e. fast enough that it's worth the trouble) unless you're already a pro with a pro team. You have 80 defense, so use barrows--it's almost always better than the torso anyway. And if you don't need the defense, use a Proselyte Cuisse instead and turn on your 10% strength prayer; it'll be more effective anyway.

 

As for fight caves, I just waited until I got a Fight Caves slayer task. But I could see how you might not be interested in that if you can't use Kuradal yet.

Takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to get a torso. For an inexperienced player on a typical world 6 team, try 7 hours or so. For a pro player on a pro team, more like 2 hours max.

For barrows, is it sufficient to just use the body or the full set

If you are using it for its defensive capabilities, all you need is the piece. If you want the set effect (guthan's healing, for example), you will need the full set.

;/ now im confused on which to use, i'd use barrows but it degrades every once in awhile, is that an annoying part of it or does it happen like once in a blue moon, and does the defense really help

 

x-x im not the richest person to keep fixing it btw

It degrades once every ~15 hours and it costs a few k to fix. Pretty much completely negligible.

There is a specific time at which barrows armour does degrade. I will say that it takes quite a while and that the repair costs are well worth the defense. The repair costs are not too bad either.

which barrows is considered the best oO, veracs has less defense than guthans but its worth more?

Torag, Guthan, and Dharok platebodies are all exactly the same, so use whichever of them is cheapest.

im no girl.... but which looks nicer

dh or torags. Wear them with a v skirt preferably, its the best barrows legs.

[Zaaps1]

V skirt is the best barrows legs because of its great prayer bonus. Whenever you are meleeing, you should be praying at least superhuman strength/berserker, if not Piety/Turmoil. ALWAYS.

 

Guthan, Torag, and Dharok tops are all the same, as stated above. Personally I like Torag the best since Guthans makes you look fat and Dharok puts a little too much emphasis on one shoulder.

 

As far as Helms go, Verac's is best for the same reason the Skirt is the best.

 

Keep in mind that instead of using a Torso, you can borrow/buy a Bandos Chestplate. I don't recommend it, but it's an option.

 

Barrows will cost you about 7k per hour OF COMBAT. All things considered, that's pocket change.
