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

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.

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:

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

if u think slayer dart is too expensive then never try my method..
