Sheesh! I have a break for a few weeks and theres some new stuff I have to get my head around.

I've gathered so far that there is new Barrows armour.

What is it? Pros/Cons? Have I just wasted my cash on this new d med and d legs?

Cheers big ears

Barrows is the best armour but after 15 hours it breaks leaving you to pay 300k to fix it. I use barrows armour for pking because it only breaks after 15 hours of use so I will easily make the cash back.

Dragon is still the most expensive and strongest armour which doesnt break

Barrows is simply the best armour in the game. Long and short of it, honestly. It does break after a while but still...

15 hours of combat is a lot of time.

I go to barrows right now and im only 90 combat. A good advantage to killing the brothers is to use high lvl magic. Your prayer drains really fast but I use it anyway, helps a lot at my lvl. Beware though, they can hit high. (i've been hit over 50 a few times).

=====Melee Barrows Armour=====

Torag armor- around 6m total in price- SPecial: reduces enemys energy

Verac- 7m total- Special - no clue

Guthan- 15m - Special - about 25% special happens and gains as much health as u deal damage

Dharok- 9.9m- Special - if u are under 10% health axe can deal up to 80 damage (that i have seen)


=====Mage Barrows armor======
Ahrims- 3-4m? - special- ?

====Range Barrows Armor=====
Karils- 2.5m- special ?

I would personally reccomend that you be at least 90 combat, have 55 slayer and 55(79) Magic (for Magic Dart and Snare/Entangle respectively), or 70 Magic to cast Ice Blitz, to deal considerable damage/bind the Melee brothers.

Barrows is the best place to make money. I got myself full torag without hamemrs there.

Wearing full torag, drag sq, rune boots, legends cape, glory ammy. I have +344 slash defense. Its worth it.

Torag armor- around 6m total in price- SPecial: reduces enemys energy

Verac- 7m total- Special - Hits through regardless of enemies defence bonuses, this includes hittting normally on players with protect from mellee prayer

Guthan- 15m - Special - regain as health damage done to enemy on a 1-1 ratio

Dharok- 10m- Special - Str increases proportionally to the decrease in your hitpoints allowing you to hit higher at lower hp.

=====Mage Barrows armor======
Ahrims- 3-4m? - special- reduces opponents strength

====Range Barrows Armor=====
Karils- 2.5m- special - reduces opponents agility

Bascially barrows is the best armour stat wise there is in RS except for Karil's which for some reason sucks and has less mellee defence than normal black dragonhide, it does have better magic defence but.

I believe that prayer thing is just a myth Mr. Dx, Prayer will still half the damage. It only has a good chance to ignore armour bonuses, which thus makes it superly accurate.

But your dharok explanation is more accurate than eric's as it's strength isn't only when you're under 10% Hitpoints.

It is not a myth, I was pking the other day my mate had full rune and whip, this guy in full veracs comes along and protects from mellee so my mate does the same. Pretty low hits then bam verac guy hits 27 28 through mellee protect prayer and my mate dies.

I was right next to him and saw him die. I was told this was true b4 but now I've seen it with my own eyes I can confirm it.

Fifteen hours of combat is a long time though.

But in my opinion, the Barrows is kind of like a casino - it sucks you in and you get addicted, and it costs you a lot to keep doing it and you have a small chance of getting a good prize (you have to spend a lot on food and potions and runes or arrows and stuff with a small chance of getting anything good and making a profit).

It doesnt cost alot to do barrows. And u make back wut u lose. I spend 300k on 1k deaths. But u make like 70k in chaos every trip, plus if u get deaths also. So, u really don't lose anything.
