the defence is not that bad to be honest. It aint too shabby for staking if your opponent uses whip

500 points + 98k cash from the captain

you would need a minimum of 4 people in order to successfully build it up, 3 needed to maintain it. Best way is to try your luck on world 2

You can get them by: 1. Talking to a ghost or Scorpius, Ghostspeak Ammy not required. It is the only ghost that doesnt move in that graveyard 2. Killing Chaos Druids.

Congratulations, how many times have you done barrows? over 100? probally. How many times has the author of this topic done it? Nada from what I understand. So I am almost positive he will need to use prayer for a while. :-w :P Hence why I suggested Monk robes, he will need prayer more than mage bonus.

I don't know about you but a "real" man would be crazy in his head to not use Protect against melee against Dharocks. :roll: I dont pray against dharok anymore, because he literally has NO chance of hitting me, ever. (Safe spot ftw) EDIT: I dont consider Mystic to be on any benefit. In fact i say going with no armor at all is better than mystic because you are risking your mystic armor for literally ABSOLUTELY nothing when it comes to barrows. You do not need the mage bonus (with any mage attack, as long as your mage level is not too low). Monk Robes are good.

NOOB! (Just Kidding ^^) But yes, you are right, they seem to call everyone who doesnt go their way noob, such as wielding a cape, a weapon or not buying something when offered by them... noob is not newb, its an insult on one's intellect, and is often a misconception mixing the two.

Slayer for me, it'll be the last skill i'll even want to level, so might as well get it out of the way. Besides, free whips.

Updated blog...

i'll update my blog for sure next week, it has been too long since i did :P

1. Getting members 2. Getting Fire Cape 3. Getting 75 RC (so my big bag wont be gathering dust till the next age) 4. Getting the qp Cape

It would be much better if there were 2 Skill Cape emotes, the normal one or the silly one, so the cape wearer has a choice to show off something good, or have a bit of laugh by showing the silly emote.

Slayer dart is only better than Chaos Gauntlets when your mage is 70+, decisively better at 80+. If you dont have 70 mage, stick to Chaos Gaunts.

My recommendation is backing up mEb's suggestions, those are by far the most important stats for barrower. However, when you do go barrowing (Unless you dont have any Melee, Ranging or Prayer gear), do NOT wear Mage gear. Mage gear at barrows is next to useless (regardless of what spell you are using, with a possible exception of ancients, which s not a money making method), since their mage defence is so bad that you can hit them well anyway as long as your mage bonus is no lower than say -20.

Being very modest here: But i think i won all 3 places... Maybe not... :P

Because Ahrim is only a good buy for pratical purposes if you are gonna use it in combat (unless you are buying it for the looks?)

I'm 98 combat and I tried it with Veracs and super sets. Doesn't work as good as slayer dart. I would get 70 ranging before you start Barrowing, for the rest your stats are good. For clarification, my first Verac means Helm, Brassard and Skirt, and maging in that armor.

lets have a vote on 'Is chenw (AKA chewy to some ppl) famous on tip it?' Votes: Yes 100000000 No 0 *Snaps Back into reality* Yes 0 No 0 Who are you? 1000000 ^_^;;;

Verac would be the next best armor after Guthan. Mage in it and you wont regret it ever. I used to love it until i switched over to guthan armor set for extra staying time. Verac'ing is for high levels (like 110+)_

DDS'ing wont work unless you super attack pot AT attack level of at least 80, and indeed str and attack wont matter 1 bit if you are maging. What I suggest: Defence 70 Mage 70 (or else use Fire Bolt with Chaos Gauntlets, Fire blast is a waste of money over it) Ranged 70 (Kills Ahrim quicker) Prayer 60 (the higher the better, because you get to restore more prayer per dose of prayer pot)

If you dont have slayer dart, this is the next best thing after it. Very cheap and good damage too. From what i can see, you should NOT be using 3 p pots per trip at your prayer level, at the max you should be using only 1 (maybe 2 if you are unlucky). What i suggest is you try maging guthan and Torag in melee armor (rune plate, kite and legs) without prayer. this way they wont hit often and you wont need to pray on them to survive. If you insist on praying, use Monk robes instead, they are better. If you absolutely have nothing else to use, use mage outfit. Mage outfit is next to useless in barrows because their mage def is so low that anything higher than +10 doesnt make much of a difference. Also NEVER try maging verac without using a melee armor, the will take too much of your food. I suggest also that you level your Ranged (kills ahrim quicker), Prayer (better prayer restored per dose) and Defence (so guthan, torag and Verac can hit you less)

Question: Where are you going to be doing most of your maging?

There will always be noobs in any game, whether they are lv 3 or lv 126. There should not be a cap of when you are allowed to join members, because that make members 'an 1337 guild of 1337 players', and you will be eliminating a lot of interest in ppl actually want to enjoy the game in full. f2p servers are super crowded as they already are, there is no need to put them under even more pressure.

50 at, going for 100 (eventually 1000)

Sighted her on Lunar Isle. I was world hop shopping for Astral runes, and decided to stop at a random world to change back to normal mage, I spotted her.
