Am I a decent barrower?

[LordoftheSquishies]

Ok, I tried out barrows awhile ago. I used a technique I came up with after finding the slayer dart method unbareably... Noobly. So with my method I do a run about every 20 minutes. (I safe spot the tunnel brother using an msb with iron arrows... lol.) I use no runes and my granite plate, dragon skirt, and barrow gloves are the most expensive things on me. I never drink prayer pots except when I get karil as a tunnel (got lucky once... did him prayless and took 15 damage.). My best trip I used 2 lobsters. My worst trip I used 4 sharks and 2 pray pot doses. Torag, verac, guthan... they all hit 20s and ahrim was a real pain. Did I mention Karil was my tunnel that round? Argh... but in the 16 trips I used about 5 pray pot doses and maybe 50 lobsters and 10 sharks. Am I doing fairly well? Oh, feel free to look up my stats. Nothing changed except my strength going to 73 while I was there.

Will noone answer me??? *sniffle sniff sniff* :cry:

I don't think I could say because I don't know what method you are using...Maybe you are doing something really inefficient I don't know. :-k

[LordoftheSquishies]

Can't use too many runes when I don't use any :D. I've got high quality ammo that costs oh... maybe 100 gp a shot. Then I have my lovely iron arrows. Ever try msb-ing torag with iron arrows? I'm glad noone at barrows cares about picking them up, or I'd be out.

I meant like since you trips are 20 min each (eek) maybe your method is too slow? I can't say because I don't know what it is.

[Celestrana]

Sounds like you've found a system that works well for you. If you think about it, that's all that really matters; a system that works.

 

 

 

Good job! :thumbsup:

[LordoftheSquishies]

lol, tyvm. I'll look into a way to speed it up. Maybe train my melee or use something better than iron arrows.... Think a rune c bow would be good, or too costly?

[Lobby4]

Anything would be better than a MSB lol...rune c'bow is a bit slow and personally I hate the dark bow because I can't bear slow weapons. Crystal bow an option? It does get a bit bad as far as ranged bonus when the charge is almost gone, but you won't be needing arrows. If not crystal bow then I'd say rune c bow with bolts you can easily smith/buy.

[LordoftheSquishies]

Yeah, does sound like the best way to go... I've been using my msb for 33 levels though... *sniff*. C bow is definitely not an option though. If I'm too cheap for slayer dart I'm definitely too cheap for that. And I kinda figured out how to make the dark bow work... in the mounds that is. Very effective as a separate ranging weapon against ahrim. Just safe spot and hide in between shots. Whereas he'd normally get a few spells by the time you fired, you'd bring it back to a 1:1 ratio. Doesn't save you any time irl, but it should help with food.

Do you use a spell there?

 

 

 

Or do you range?

[LordoftheSquishies]

I use range as a secondary except on ahrim. Finally found a use for when metals drop rune knives. No spells either. But the brothers in their tombs take me like 2 minutes. It's the tunnel brother that takes forever to spawn and then pump full of iron.

[Wachtwoord]

Why don't you just use slayer dart?! You only need like 500 deaths and 2K minds to start with. If you get a decent kill count (15+) you'll get them all back in the long run.
