Karil's or Black Dragonhides?

[Mechwariorx]

I have looked at both, and I can't decide which is better for me. Also, I do not PK, this would be used for training or killing monsters. If I decide on Karil's I will most likely not buy the crossbow or coif, I will most likely use a Crystal Bow and Archer Helm/Robin Hood. Which is the best option for me to choose?

If I'm not mistaken, both give the same bonus. I have full karil's but I use black dhide for training so I don't have to spend on repairing the karil's armor. I wear full karil's at CW or fight pits.

Ah, I should have posted this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black Dragonhide top and bottom has a...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+13 Stab Defence

 

 

 

+10 Slash Defence

 

 

 

+15 Stab Defence

 

 

 

-24 Magic Defence

 

 

 

-4 Ranged Defence

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

difference than Karil's top and bottom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So Karil's has more magic and range defence and Black Dragonhides has more melee defence.

[aglips]

So black d hide has better defense against melee based attacks but who wears range armor to fight melee based attacks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's the mage defense bonus and bonus for range itself?

[Mechwariorx]

Mage defence bonus is 24 higher for Karil's, and the range attack bonuses are the same.

[aglips]

the range attack bonuses are the same.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what I meant when I said they have the same bonus. So when I train range I use black d hide since attack bonus is the same and I'm standing in a safe spot where the monsters can't hit me. Saves a lot of money on repairs in the long run.

[Mechwariorx]

So you are saying if I am not going to do any pvp then I should choose Black Dragonhide?

[aglips]

yes.

[Mechwariorx]

Ok, thanks. Anyone else?

[Lord_Gromit]

For training, use black d'hide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It gives the exact same ranged attack bonus as karils, and nothing else matters, except that you don't need to repair black d'hide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend only using karils for pking, castle wars, possibly fight pits, and of course barrows. For everything else, use black d'hide.

[Mechwariorx]

KK, I don't do any of those, so it looks like Black Dragonhide for me. :lol:

I think karils gives a little more range att than hides, but that is really negligible. I'd definitely stick to hides, and maybe buy an archer ring (not that you will notice a difference though...)

I think karils gives a little more range att than hides

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It doesn't.
