Talk:Barrows equipment

Just so you know; My aim is to get all the pictures in the same style as Verac's picture. I've got Karils and Guthans coming soon. I may struggle for Djaroks, Torags and Ahrims; no-one i know has them (at least, no-one who can get them to me) and I can't afford Barrows armour myself.

Barrows decay
I just want to clarify if barrows equipment decays while you wear it regardless of what you are doing (i.e. fishing or just standing around), or only decays during combat (like the berserker shields from FoG). Sol Levante 02:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

It decays only in combat and i think it's only when you are explicitly being attacked so i don't thing poison etc. counts.

Size of pictures
Maybe it would be better if the size of the pictures were reduced? Like to the "thumb" size? Dreadnought talk 03:36, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Those things are enormous and stretched out too much. 61.6.216.59 09:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Are weapons needed?
Do you need to have barrows weapons as well to have the effect? I'm not really sure about it...

Yes, you need the weapons for the set effects...I wish you didn't need the spear for guthan's :P Rsnerd123 22:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Karil's Image
Is the Karils set really 72 Kilograms?RSMaster4259 20:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Torags
I've uploaded torags in the same style -- 08:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Nerfed?
I heard that Verac's set effect was toned down when the skirt was updated. Is there any truth to this? 70.58.186.57 06:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * When was the skirt updated? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  06:28, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

2 Handed
Are any of the melee barrow brothers that have a wepon that isnt 2 handed?

No 09:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Verac's attack armour?
In my opinon it should be the prayer armour, it hits through prayer and has the highest prayer bonus of all that armour, also it has one of the lowest attack bonuses 09:58, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * What? Are you saying it should require 70 prayer to use? [[Image:chivalry.PNG]] Aquilae [[Image:chivalry.PNG]] 23:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

No, they're saying that because Verac's armor offers a prayer bonus and fairly low attack bonuses, it shouldn't be called the "attack armor", it should be called the "prayer armor" of the barrows sets. I think that Verac's is the attack armor AND the prayer armor (like it nows says in the article).75.55.49.251 23:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Btw i don't get verac's set effect. what does it mean by heavy damage. Even if you hit through prayer(not counting protect from melee) it won't affect how much damage you deal. Igonring armour and prayer just means that you are more accurate so what does it have to do with damage. Same applies to ice trolls and yak hide armour.
 * What it means by "heavy damage" is that it ignores all armour defence bonuses, so if you do hit, you will hit as if the player does not have any armour on. [[Image:Rollbackcrown.PNG‎]] Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 03:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't be called prayer armour just for hitting through prayer and having prayer bonus, as by calling it "attack armour" it should mean it is the accuracy armour, as it hits more often than all others, because of it's special.-- 00:05, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Why do we even call them "attack armour," "strength armour," "defence armour," and so on? Is there any official source referring to them as such? Dharok's doesn't give any strength bonuses, Torag's doesn't give higher defence bonuses than a mix-and-match of the other sets, and Verac's doesn't give any attack bonuses. Why do we even give a combat stat they're supposed to align with? They clearly don't match up. Besides, there are 8 combat stats (7 at the time of release) and only 6 barrows sets. I'm removing the references in question; a citation should be added if anyone wishes to put them back in. troacctid 00:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Its because of their specials/ base stats. Karils = Ranged. Ahrims = Mage. Torags = Highest melee DEFENCE in one set. Dharocks hits the hardest, as though you had more STRENGTH. Veracs hits more often, as though you had more ATTACK. Guthans heals you, effectively giving you more HITPOINTS.

GEItem_Verac's helmet template
Is there something wrong with the "GEItem_Verac's helmet" template? I've tried looking at it, but can't see anything... 15:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

It's no mistake. When you die with full verac's, the legs pl8 and weapon are usualy saved (unless you are using protect item prayer). So those people that died with full verac's and lost their helm need a new one in order to acess the verac's set effect. This increases the demand for the item and raises the price:]natcon1Natcon1 02:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Full Verac's?
Surely that female player is NOT wearing full Verac's if she's carrying a whip? -- 22:05, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Helmets
Why are (melee) barrows helmets always the most expensive part of the set? 11:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Because when people die without item protect, they will lose the helmet.=S 11:32, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah.. Thought so :/ 17:09, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Degrading
Does barrows armor degrade during safe minigames, even though the player is in no real danger? --Yoyo502 22:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

It degrades during any combat use, be it PVP, Clan Wars, anything where you're engaged in combat, this includes when you're attacking a monster from a safe-spot. 89.242.115.3 11:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Full dharoks...
We really need ONE image showcasing the entire Dharok's set, including the Axe. At the moment I see 3 seperate images, one showing just the axe, another showing just the legs, and aanother showing the entire set in poor quality and before the axe had an update. This is including one (unneeded) animated GIF showing just the legs. If anyone has a full Dharok's set, please upload it with NOTHING ELSE EQUIPPED. This includes Barrows gloves and Skillcapes. 06:59, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
