(Burst/barrage rock lobsters for charms and magic xp). Burst/barrage people in Soul Wars or Castle Wars for kicking ass cheaper. Don't forget to get an arcane stream necklace!

 

OK, you beat me to it, Mughinn.

Abyssal Demons? Worth a try, I hear they're decent.

Blue/red dragons

 

metals (although they suck)

 

Barrows gives you lots of runes using battle robes.

 

Idk about abby demons personally,but they're weak to magic apperantly

 

Rex is a very bad idea in battle robes, your better off with veracs/bandos/guthix for ranged defence/prayer bonus/healing. Not to mention you barely need magic attack to kill rex.

 

I'd recommend barrows for money and red/blue dragons for xp.(fire surge breaks even with a sol and no battle robes, so you might make a bit of profit)

I'm pretty sure the main use for battle robes is for rock lobsters since ice spells use so many runes. They're really not worth risking in PVP either.

 

Since you've already got 99 summoning, I can only really think of CW/SW. Maging metals might be okish too. Just find a situation where you'll be casting a ton of high rune cost spells.

You could do slayer.

 

The loss of a fsh would make some tasks impossible and I'm not sure if the rune-saving is worth the loss of 15% damage... as the op stated, I believe.

 

Barrows, maybe td's trio? I think I remember Muggi saying mageing them is only worth it in a trio... here it is:

 

mage is great there but nowadays it's really only worth it if you're gonna trio (one mage, one warrior, one ranger). the updated autocast makes it hard to hybrid with mage unless you're on ancients, which isn't as cost-effective :\

 

If you need a noob partner, pm me :thumbsup:

You don't need a full slayer helm to use a hexcrest. Just switch to melee for your dust devils and your aberrant spectres.

You do kind of need the battle hood for the rune saving tho. If you are not gonna use the full set, then why use any of it?

IMO, battle robes are for bursting/barraging rock lobbs only. In any other place, it is better to use ahrims, or a full slayer helm (hexcrest). You cant use them in cwars, as they dont let you use the hood. Do not use it in pvp (whether minigames or pking) as you would be better off using a high mage setup, or trying to inflict as much damage as possible as quickly as possible. No use in saving FoG FREE runes, for example. The only viable usage of them would be maging steels. I wouldn't even waste my time with that tbh, but if you are set on it, might as well do that.
