this would make prayer too easy...... evry1 would have 99 in no time, u gotta actually give credit to those who spend time burying bones, which gets boring as hell with praying all u have to do is click, wait for a while and click, in between u could be pickin ur nose er something gross and for herblore u dont herbloriate or somethin like that.......

i dont see whats so great about this, if u cant use in combat theres no point really......

-jaw drops all the way down to the floor- just the sheer fact that u made this guide so complete is AMAZING with all that info in one place its incredible overal 10/10, awesome job :thumbsup: post on my blog if ya got time, its Barrows For Noobs (myself included) :)

aww sweet thanks for telling me that, ill try hard as possible to get some pics

well imma try to fish up some pics i guess, see what i can find :) itll just be pics off tip.it so ill give them all the credit, cuz tip.it is always #1

thanks for the good rate, but the problem with the pics is i dont have a digital camera and i have no idea how to take pics and im a total reject when it comes to computer stuff like that lol

and plus, PLZ read the title b4 u go spamming up the place, i clearly have "noobs" on the title, meaning im not as strong as u guys are, so i need more help, thus i need more ppots

well the "official" guide on tip.it says to bring 5(4) prayer potions, and i only use 4 of the prayer pots, but i bring 5 just to be safe. and if i used slayer dart id probly use only 3 or 2.5, somewhere around there. but u have to factor in what spells and stuff u use b4 u go saying "You seriously use that many doses!?", bcuz the better stuff u use, less ppots needed, and vice versa

Hello, I'm Srgnt Suited from runescape and I just wanted to make a barrows forum for those of us that are noobs. Getting There ***You will need Priest in Peril done and Nature Spirit started to get to barrows. OK you're starting point is Varrock. Go east til you get to the portal to Morytania, go thru this portal. Now go southeast til you come to a gate and pass thru. Run south til you get to a grotto, pray at it only if you've done Nature spirit completely, and south of the grotto you will see a "maze". Go to the end and your in Mort'ton. Go thru Mort'ton til you find a man and his boat. Pass that bridge and go northeast til you find an opening and your at Barrows! Now start digging the mounds, which is mentioned later. Stats And Items For Barrows Ok, i did barrows at these stats when I first started, believe it or not: 43 prayer 61 range 60 mage Stats "required" for Barrows: 43+ prayer (definitely required) 60-70+ range and mage preferably My setup was as follows: Full green dragonhide Zamorak cape Coif Fire staff Mithril arrows Chaos guantlets Ammy of glory Ring of Wealth Inventory was as follows: 150 chaos 450 airs mage short bow law rune spade 5(4) prayer pots 17 lobsters As you can see I use no mage armor or melee just because it takes up space. And if you pray full time you wont need it, but melee armor for kill count is nice i guess, so thats optional depending on you. If you gather all your own materials all that you get from barrows will be profits, which is what i do. All i need to get for Barrows by myself is prayer potions and air runes, the rest is provided from rewards or other. Prayer potions take 38 herblore and for air runes if you've done Rune Mysteries you can runecraft those, a high runecrafting level, 44+ is recomended for more runes per essence. So what I do is gather materials Monday thru Friday, and go "barrow-ing" on weekends. Maging and Ranging Methods And i dont use slayer dart and i can still manage with only 4 ppots. I found out today i can finish the bros off with 4, i used to use 5. Here are the spells I use: Fire bolt Fire blast What i do is get 150 chaos and 450 airs with a fire staff and i only use up 100 chaos, just to be safe i bring 150. Usually I get the chaos back from the chest and then i just runecraft the airs and thats my mage method. Sometimes when i get deaths i treat myself with using fire blast to hit higher, but mostly fire bolt works nicely. My ranging method uses mithril arrows because from the chest i get gp to pay for them. Plus if i just pick them up off the ground after i kill Ahrim, i only use 5 arrows about per trip. For getting the kill count up im currently using a rune halberd, but once i get 100k im getting a dragon longsword, because im broke, but the rune halberd works nicely. With 12 foods er so i usually get my kill count around 30-35 by killing bloodworms. The Barrows Brothers *The following bros are in order from which I used to kill them. **Northeastern mound OK with killing dharok i usually use no doses of prayer potion since i recharge prayer at the altar of nature on my way to barrows. And if i get really lucky ill have 13-15 prayer points left. **Southernmost mound OK with killing Karil all you need to do is mage him and it'll take a little longer than most bros i have found out. But usually i only use 2-3 doses of prayer potion ( i always fill prayer pots to (4) to get more per trip) and you'll kill him easily. **Northwestern mound On to Verac. I found out that this dude can be a pain in the [wagon], since he actually can hit if you have prayer on or not. Be vigilant with this guy, because one time i was in the crypt with a buddy and his Verac's hitpoint bar was over mine, and i couldnt see my hitpoint bar so i thought i had died. You may use anywhere from 1-5 foods with this dude, depending how lucky he gets. And i usually finish him off with a few doses. **Southeastern mound Time for Guthans. I found out this dude is really easy so pretty much just mage and he'll be dead in 2-3 doses of prayer potion easily. **Southwestern mound With Torag it's very very similar to Guthans, just use a few doses of prayer potions and you'll be fine. I've also seen people without prayer aginst him but i personally pray against every bro just to be safe. Try without prayer just to see where you end up though. **Middlemost mound Ok, its Ahrim time. Once you get to Ahrim switch to your ranging stuff. With Ahrim I usually use a full prayer potion since mithril arrows dont hit as well as fire bolt/blast. OK now its tunnel time. If you've gotten Karil, Guthans, Torag, or Ahrim, then you got off good. When you get in the tunnel, stay very very vigilant, keep your prayer at 0 because itll waste prayer potions if you keep drinking. Once you find the brother drink some prayer potion and turn on the appropriate prayer. Doing this quickly will hopefully allow you to stay damage free. I've had Verac as a tunnel and the only reason i hated it was i had to keep close attention to my hitpoints. If you've gotten Dharok without a safespot, keep prayer on at ALL times. Because on my first trip I ran out of prayer and he hit me well into the 50's and i died. Karil, Guthans, Torag, and Ahrim are very easy if you just keep on praying. After you've done the tunnel bro I ALWAYS get the door open for the treasure room, just to get that done. Rewards Now its time for your kill count, as other statistics have shown, higher kill count gets better drops from the chest. These drops include: gp mind, chaos, death, and blood runes bolt racks half keys dragon med helms the rare barrows armor The odds of getting a half key, dragon med helm, are very rare. The odds of getting a barrows item is approximately 1 in 108 brothers killed, or 18 trips. Don't give up on barrows armor or weapons, i got mine on 7th trip :) : Karils Leatherskirt Kill Count For getting your kill count up, I usually go to the room with all the bloodworms, which has the lowest levels, thus giving you more creatures per lobster, THUS giving you good kill count. A typical trip from varrock to treasure gathering takes usually 40-50 minutes, give er take a little, depending on how high you want your kill count. OK so that pretty much wraps it all up, thats how i do barrows without what most people do. If you have any questions, i believe i am up to par to answer them, so please do. And if you have any suggestions to improve it be my guest and tell me :). This has been Srgnt Suited, thanks for reading and have a safe barrows trip. ~May Prayer fend off evil and luck be with you~ Acknowledgement List: Razorspearz-best friend in runescape and fellow barrow-er Bowlite0-for continuing support with barrows AfterWord From Me: Once you get a few dozen runs in you might want to change up your style a bit. What I do currently is that i bought rune platebody and legs and I don't pray versus Verac, Guthans, or Torag, if you wear those then that'll help ALOT. So please don't be afriad to change up your style with barrows, this guide was created by me to help beginners in barrows to get the feel of the game. Just remember, what might work for one person, doesn't necessarily work for the next person. I use barely any things I mentioned in this guide anymore, like I used to use 5 prayer potions, I'm down to less than 1 prayer potion on 3 out of 5 runs er so. It's all about changin it up to fine tune your style. Granted I haven't had much luck, Barrows is still a good way to train and have a fun time, especially if you go with a friend or 2.

hi, i just got karil skirt from barrows and im wondering how much its market value is worth, thanks in advance rsn: srgnt suited

well i tried out barrows and i was successful at it 3 straight times, after my first trip of dying :( My stats for it were: 43 prayer 60 range 57 mage i used bronze arrows and wind blast believe it or not and only 5 ppots and i was successful, YIPPIE! lol, plus i was praying full time with no safespots whatsoever so i proved that you CAN be successfull at barrows w/o routines most ppl use. got only bunch of runes and bolt racks, but thats to be expected i guess

ok i tried out barrows and i took along 8 ppots and mage and range stuff and got 5 bros down and got to tunnel but dharok was waiting for me and he killed me eventually cuz i ran outta pots the wierd thing is that there were 2 dharoks i was fighting against which i had no chance with 43 ppoints and 2 ppots left does a double bro tunnel spawn happen often?

bump

ty for support i will also like to announce a change in my plans with a LOT of decisions to be made with what mage i did, and alot of arguing with myself, im changing my mage spell plan to magic dart the reason i didnt wanna get 55 slayer b4 was im not a patient kinda guy but i layed out all the cards and saw what was best, so magic dart, here i come!!

thanks dude, i cant wait to start!! goin for 62 mage for wind wave currently, shood have done by tommorow then its range time!

bump-o :thumbsup:

thx dude, itll be a little ways b4 i go barrowing tho

OK ive heard soo much good stuff about barrows that i feel i wanna join. My runescape name is Srgnt Suited, so if u want to talk to me on my intense training. Now since there are HUGE rewards you need great stats, and a problem arises there for me, my stats arent the greatest. current barrows stats: ranged 57 mage 55 prayer 43 combat 85 slayer: 34 For Barrows i will need 60+ mage and range. For mage i will be using the all mighty magic dart (changed my decision). For Barrows i will need high prayer 50-60. I just achieved 43 prayer so im super syked about all protect prayers available. idk really what combat lvl is the greatest for barrows tho. SO on here i will be keeping a track of my accomplishment on what i call: The Road to Barrows! Goals for when i start barrows: 65-70 ranged at least 60 mage around 60 prayer or more high combat lvl of 90 or so Thanks for reading and please support me, ur support makes it soo much easier! ( and i appreciate it )

alls i gotta say is DAY-AM!

aww **** ur kidding me, only reason i went for a god staff is for the 30 hit, ok thx for pointin it out screw it im just gonna wait for slayer dart, ok thx for helping me point out what i need to improve guys

aww **** ur kidding me, only reason i went for a god staff is for the 30 hit, ok thx for pointin it out

what do u mean without charge? and my mage will soon be 60 which is when im getting the staff

I was actually planning on getting 60 mage but a little Money couldn't hurt eh : . r u goin for 60 mage for a god staff? cuz if u r i m as well so cool :)

id say buy mage longs from companies on tip.it for 1.2k or 1.1k ea and buy nats in nat running world for 300 ea and ull get a small profit of 50-150 ea, but ull get good mage xp p.s. buy fire staff for 1.5k in varrock, itll pay for itself in no time

ok then ill just use deaths and minds for money to buy more fire and airs! lol
