Barrows- ROL, or not.

Featured Replies

This is a simple question, and I wanted to see if people brought one or not, if you don't bring one to barrows, list what you bring instead of it.

 

 

 

I personally, always need one. I've done 2.8k runs, and not got even closed to needing it. (Except that time when I got dced on Karil no prayer. =p) But, I can just imagine, the one run I don't have it, I get dced and I die.

 

 

 

 

 

So, yes or no, why or why not? What do you bring instead?

 

 

 

 

 

Ciao.

I always use one, ive only needed it once but its better safe than sorry and Im not sure anything I could equip there would provide much of an advantage

Caldius.png

I would just to be safe (even though I don't Barrows (yet)). No one wants to lose their stuff, and I know I've had enough of the "I never shoud've..." situations.

I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

I personally bring it, because there is nothing else I can bring. Even the fighting ring (archer, warrior) arn't worth it. Plus karil and dharok doesn't "always" hit above 10% of your health, but its good to have just in case he doesn't and hits that right health mark :)

what else would u wear in a ring slot then?

I've always brought a ring of life to Barrows (except for one run when I forgot to take off my dueling ring), and so far, it's brothers 2, ring 2. I've died twice even with it (45 from Dharok, 20 from Karil), but twice Verac almost killed me and I ended up getting saved at the last minute.

 

 

 

Is it worth it to bring Ring of Life? Definitely. The slight advantage of a combat ring isn't worth it, at least in my opinion.

If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

@Darkpoop0=> You could wear any of the DK rings, or a Wealth if you think that would increase your chances, although there are varying opinions on that.

 

 

 

On topic though, I always wore one when I used to do Barrows on Trunksbomb. Saved my life a few times, but then again, it tele'd me out when I didn't want it too as well. Better to be safe than sorry.

I usually wear one whenever going down, unless I recently broke it and am too lazy to make one. :oops:

 

 

 

Near death experience story time!!! I was barrowing with Blackarch and I was at Guthan, so I thought it was going to be easy. Well I was wrong. An IM came up, read it, looked back to find myself low on health, I try and click on a monk, and I get hit for a 20, teled. Blackarch was laughing hard because I got hit a 24-19-20-tele. Found myself at Fally with 2hp. I am now known to afk Barrows. :-#

i never bring one, i always have five prayer pots and monkfish, so i never take damage unless i'm at verac or in the tunnels.

 

heck, i never wear a life, the most recent times i died, i got k0ed straight from 30+ health (by a pure and by damis). that, and very few monsters are going to leave me at 7 health...

I use a ROW, I feel completely safe at barrows. ::'

Prayer issues, safe spot problems, big hits, afkness, stupidity, prayer running out, I could go on forever. Too many close calls. I did about 40 runs in a week once, and had a bakers dozen close calls :XD:

Yes, it has saved me more than once. Once I put strength prayer instead of melee and went afk on dhaork.

 

 

 

Came back to see my player get hit a 49 and tele. :-w

I always use a Seers ring. Don't feel like taking the rol. The chances of dieing at barrows are really low. And even if you die the chance that a rol would have safed you is small. So I prefer the magic bonus my seers ring gives.

I used to use Ring of Charos (don't ask why, I find I get better drops with that than with ROW :-$ ) but since I almost died with Guth, Verac, fury, whip, and other things, when Ahrim wasn't being nice to me and got me down to 1hp -.-. Since then, ROL is always on my finger. ::'
