Items needed for Barrows - Coming from F2P.

[rusty_073]

Ok, so I've been f2p for ages now and never been a member. I have always been interested in Barrows and want to see how I would go during my holidays.

 

 

 

First of all my stats:

 

Att:70

 

Str:84

 

Def:65

 

HP:77

 

 

 

Combat: 91

 

 

 

1. What items do I need to get going? (e.g, armour, weapons, pots, food)

 

2. What is the price of all items?

 

3. Where are some good guides on how to do Barrows?

 

 

 

I will searching for information, but would greatly appreciate any experienced people to shed light on some tips, etc.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I'd highly recommend you get 55 slayer so you can use Slayer Dart at barrows. The runes from the chest pay for the spell.

 

 

 

Take prayer potions, food, a spade, a bow and arrow.

 

 

 

Head to the Archive of Wisdom, there are some good Barrows guides in there that are worth a read.

 

 

 

You will also have to do some quests, Priest in Peril and In Search of Myreque being two of them. Desert Treasure is handy for the tele to Canafis but it isn't essential.

 

 

 

Good Luck :D

Well, you'd need prayer pots. That's the costly part, really. Normally 7-8K each, although it's a bit cheaper to buy 4-dose prayer potions for 10k each and get the same amount of doses cheaper.

 

 

 

Quick example:

 

80 (3) prayer potions = 8K each = 640K.

 

60 (4) prayer potions = 10K each = 600K.

 

Unless you find (3) doses for 7K each or less.

 

 

 

And you'll need runes, of course. The ideal Barrows spell is Slayer Dart (50 magic + 55 slayer) as the minds and deaths required are obtainable from chests - free spells FTW. But You can always use something like Fire Blast, Air Wave, or Fire Bolt with Chaos Gauntlets.

 

 

 

As for food, just fish the best you can bring, preferably lobsters or higher. If you want to buy it, then go for monkfish. Heal 16 and are about 300-350 each. Pretty good, in my opinon.

 

 

 

And some melee armor and a weapon for the tunnels. A whip is perfect, dragon scimitar is second-best.

 

 

 

Ranged gear is necessary for Ahrim. D'hide and a bow, and adamant or rune arrows. Heck, a crystal bow or Karil's crossbow works as well, but they can probably get pricey.

 

 

 

Until you start getting the hang of Barrows, or get confident in your mage skills, or get Slayer Dart, you should probably wear magic-boosting clothes. Mystic is perfect, and only 200K too.

 

 

 

There are plenty of guides for Barrows in the AOW.

 

 

 

Bah, I typed a lot. Hope it helps. :)
