Dax Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well, I did some quick calculations and worked out that if I sell my Bandos armour, I'll be looking at around about 94 Prayer, with some 700k till 95. That's awesome. I'm decided in that I'll be doing this, but now I'm wondering, how does Barrows compare to it these days? I know it's a higher defence than Bandos, lacking the Strength bonus. And what parts should I be looking at? I recall Verac's skirt with one of the other melee brothers' top was the way to go a while back, but I'm not too sure now. It's not terribly important, considering I'm Fishing, Farming and Cooking at the moment, but I'd like to have some armour in case the urge to slay appears. Also, are Infernal ashes still that slight bit better than Dragon bones? TL;DR?How do Bandos/Barrows compare?What Barrows top and legs should I get?Infernal ashes or Dragon bones? #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaykan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would recomend verac skirt and if you don't mind BA then go and get torso for top, others wise just get torag or dharok top. Good Timber does not grow with ease, the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees. There is dignity in suffering, nobility in pain, but failure is a salted wound, that burns over and over again.

JPMC Mate Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Get Proselyte Hauberk and V Skirt. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous.

AHappySeeker Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Torso + V skirt if you have it. Prossy top + V skirt if you don't. If you need def for some reason, Dh/Torag top or K top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beest1942 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Damn, I was expecting a spreadsheet comparing actual Barrows to Bandos GWD. Why do we bake cookies, but cook bacon? 99/99/80+ looking for monster hunting groupRS07: mb nb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helm_Lardar Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Don't forget that Guthan's top has the same defence as Torag's and Dharok's. And it looks great on it's own, so don't be afraid to get that. I'm not an efficienado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Barrows is equal or worse than Bandos anywhere really, Verac's skirt being the best piece out of all Barrows items. For slayer and frost dragons the strength bonus of Bandos reigns, for Dagganoth kings the additional ranged defence and lower magic attack penalty are valuable, for Bandos god wars the tassets provide strength, ranged defence and a Bandos item, for Zamorak god wars it improves your healing through ss flashing, the Kalphite queen rips through your defence anyway so the strength is needed to rip her back, anything weaker than that can't hit you hard enough to need the additional defence from Barrows items. Verac's skirt is equal to tassets at places where camping (prayer bonus) is important.

Dax Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 So it's not half bad and selling Bandos to buy most of 95 Prayer was well worth it? Good. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMC Mate Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Of course selling Bandos for Turmoil was worth it. Turmoil has a pretty big boost. Really?

Wessan Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Guthan's body is cheaper than Torag or Dharok at the moment, and gives the same amount of defense if you are still looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
