Guild all the way. The skeletons are annoying in that mine, as are pkers.

Get 40 attack for rune scimmy, and you should be fine. I did at 47 combat, and only ate 6 lobbys.

No way anyone but you can get your pin back. Otherwise, they could take anyone's account...

(sigh) 58 combat at barrows? forget about it. I sometimes have problems on level 94 membs account.

It really depends on who your fighting. If your fighting pures with 1 deff, the second setup would be a lot better. With 4 dd++ spec, you can nearly finish off most pures. If you are fighting rune pures or better, go with veracs, unless they're not wearing armor.

TOTALLY pest control, pc probably fastest combat xp in the game.

It really depends what method you are using. With full initiate or other prayer boosting armor, you can do as low as 43 and still turn a profit, as the prayer drain from protect prayers is less then that from the heads appearing.

Go for slayer dart. Even with veracs, you don't hit as often with melee, and although Ancients is a lotta fun, it costs way to much

You should be fine with those stats, I just did DT with 93 combat on my membs account :oops: . I had: 76 attack 75 strength 75 defense 76 hitpoints 67 magic 54 range 53 prayer The two guys you will have trouble with are Ice and Shadow. The second damis drains your prayer 5-7 with every hit, and hits fast. For damis, bring a dd++, and as soon as the second form appears, unload all four specs with protect from melee on. Your prayer will be almost gone after this, even if it was full. Run behind the north torch (it can take a bit to figure out the safespot; experment with the first damius). If he is poisened, wait untill it wears off to 2 damage (unlike most NPC's, he won't heal), then unload the special bar again. Keep doing this untill he is dead. For the ice guy, BRING RUNES AND MAGE! All of the monsters have insane melee deff (I did most of it meleeing with a whip, and was very sorry I did). After you kill 5 ice trolls to open the gate, teleport back and fill up on super restores. It took me 14 super restores to finish it. You don't need too much food, the snow and wind just hit a little, and have protect from melee ON AT ALL TIMES! When kamil freezes you, drink super restores then mage. If you are low on health with little food after kamil, restock. The ice path is long, and it took me 4 sharks to get through it. You don't need a crushing weapon to break the ice off of the parents, simply unequip your weapon (all barehanded attacks are crush) Before you try to smash the ice chunk, you will need to drink 2-4 doses of super restores to get your stats up enough to break it (all of my stats were in the lower 20's by the time I got from kamil to the parents).

I don't plan to use prayer on guthan or torag (i'll see how that goes) wearing full rune. I don't use runes - I use whip. However, with my "low budget" method of taking only 3 items worth more then 10k, I didn't bring any armor, so I wasted 6-8 sharks in tunnels, mostly thanks to skeletons. They can hit hard and often on no armor, even with 75 defense

it's 100xp, 20 per limestone.

ok, thanks. I'll probably take initiatelegs pl8 & helm, rune legs and pl8, red d hide body and legs, whip, rune defender, slayer staff, runes, 4-5 p pots, house teletab, and the rest sharks, with a canifs portal in my house. Edit: already went from 42-48 slayer in not that long - guess 55 won't be as much of a challenge as I thought. Now for 138 infernal mages....

The trapdoor is behind the counter, right next to the bartender. The first time I went there, I had a hard time finding it :wall:

The higher your attack level, the more often you will hit. With a low attack level, you will almost never hit monsters with high defense.

Same problem I had first time barrows - I killed all the brothers, had verac for tunnel bro. I had ROL, but he finished me off with a 14 at the same time i hit a 7 with whip and killed him. Lost a good 400k, but when I came back, my kill count was at 7, and none of the brothers were in their crypts.

There are two problems with steel bars. First of all, many people merchant them, and it can be hard to make a good profit off of them. The second problem is that it is hard to get large amounts of steel bars. Coal is easy to get in 10k+ amounts, as many people mine, but don't want to bother buying/mining iron and smithing.

With that much money, bulk coal is good. You can buy 130-150 then sell on forums (read others posts if your F2P) for 200 ea. My friend made 2.5m in under an hour doing this. The only downside is that it requires a significant capitol, but it sounds like you already have this.

Airs are no biggie - I can get from mage guild. The problem is, it takes a long time with fire bolt, and costs a lot more in prayer potions. Slayer dart is fairly cheap in terms of runes, yet hits 17 as opposed to 12 for fire bolt. The money you save on runes for fire bolt will probably not make up for the increased number of prayer potions. Also, Slayer Dart is better magic xp, and allows more barrows runs per hour.

Runeweb isn't very reliable - I like your old sig MUCH better. You should go into sig design...

Read the scrolls. Otherwise, your character dosen't know how to make the necklace.

So no profit with ancients? :( That was a lotta fun :wall: Guess I better start working on 42-55 slayer :wall:

Firemaking gets really booring after a while :wall: . I'd suggest training mage to 82, then using ice blitz at barrows. Really fun, good mage xp, and can earn a good chunk of money if your lucky. That's what i'm doing on my membs account, only at 70 mage

So far i've done barrows 7 times on my membs account. I use ancient magicks at 70 mage, ice bursting, ice rushing 3 times, then side stepping. It works great and is a lot of fun (I only have to pray on Dhorick and Karil), but so far it hasn't been profitable. It takes about 150 death, 200 chaos, 200 water, 3 p pots, and 10 sharks to get my kill count in the 20's. The total cost of each run is: 150 Death @ 300 ea = 45K 200 Chaos @ 150 ea = 30K 200 Water @ 20 ea = 4K 3 Prayer Pots @ 7k ea = 21K 10 Sharks @ 900 ea = 9K 1 trip = 109K 7 trips @ 109k ea = 763K My rewards have been mediocre, despite my 21-28 kill count. In total, I've gotten: 209 Bolt Racks @ 350 ea = 73.15K 350 Death @ 300 ea = 105K 31 Blood @ 550 ea = 17.05K 3126 Gp @ 1 ea = 3.126K Total: 198.32K Per trip = 28.33K Profit per trip: 28.33k - 109k = -80.67K Total Profit: -80.67K X 7 = -564.69k Now, I know Ancient Magicks is an expensive way but losing 80k per trip is insane. It's a lot of fun with Ancients, but somehow I need to find a better way. I may just be having bad luck, but even a barrows item probably won't recoup the 564k i've spent so far. I usually bring runes for 150 casts, 4 Prayer Pots, a spade, one click tele, canifis tele runes (2 laws, 1 blood), Ancient Staff, and whip. I've sold everything else to pay for the previous barrows trips, and i can usually beat all the brothers with only 2-3 sharks and 3 prayer potions (praying on Ahrim Karil and Dhorick, and using freeze spells on the others), and then another 6 sharks in the tunnels. I may try slayer dart with initiate, but Ancient Magicks is a lot funner. If anyone has suggestions, post here. My stats are: 76 attack 75 strength 75 defense 70 mage 64 range 42 slayer 55 prayer

Was cutting mages at sorcer's tower south of seers, where a level 97 with full ahrims, fury ammy, and lava b staff was high alching. A plant random appeared, and started hitting two's and one's. It hit zero almost every time, and never poisened. After about 3 minutes, he was red barred, and me and 2 other people stood on top of him to get drop. Sure enough, he died. I clicked like crazy and got an uncut saphire and a chisel :wall: . The other two guys there started yelling "sweet" and "this is awsome!" then traded me. I accepted the first one, and the guy shows me 8k nats and yew longs he got, along with lava b staff, saying he got all from the drop pile. The second guy trades, and puts up ahrims hood and 14M!!! :ohnoes: I was pretty mad at myself that day for downloading files over dial up while playing rs :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

I'd go for yew longs
