Awesome, detailed guide. Tried the Rune method, worked like a dream. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Hmm.. I personally don't see anything missing from this guide, so I guess it's... 10/10.

 

 

 

Now, off to bookmark this guide <3:

Most of the methods you should replace slayer dart with fire wave, its much better nowdays.

 

 

 

 

 

Deaths are cheaper, and honestly the method works really good, no need to use blood runes here

meh the guide is alright, a lot of your methods have flaws or points that could be expanded upon, such as the toags helm in your torags method, a neitiznot will do much better in this situation, I have tried it and it works fine.

 

 

 

 

 

Also, why no gs section?

He said after 99 range, 90 prayer and all to 80 he will update the guide BIG TIME, and he is adding a gs section then I assume.

Its a bit outdated to be honest.

 

 

 

No mention of the sara brew/super restore combo, spirit shields, rune c'bows or a list of tunnel safespots (there are atleast 10 easy to use ones).

 

Why on earth do you take full karils? Its never been reccommended on any guide I've ever read (until now).

 

Fairy ring dsl take you to the canfis tunnels and bkr takes you just north west of the boat (2 or 3 clicks away).

Verac's owns the hell out of Torag's; the helm and skirt give the same melee defence and slightly lower range defence, but they have a large prayer bonus which is extremely useful. The brassard has much worse defence but has a very low mage attack penalty which will increase your accuracy considerably.

 

 

 

And full Karil's?? The coif gives 3 ranged attack rofl. And bolt racks are expensive as hell. If you're ranging a rune crossbow with diamond bolts is best.

 

 

 

Verac'ing with 80 attack and strength... lol. Verac's requires 90+ combat stats if not 95+.

 

 

 

Fire wave>slayer dart.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Do you realize when the last update to this guide was made? It's very outdated...I'm updating soon

 

 

 

And to liamster, I start veracing at melees to 80 and it worked out good.

I have to say, the overall look is very apealing. Thats one thing that most guides do not have, a good look.

 

 

 

The videos are great, and show what to do for complete beginners nicely.

 

 

 

I have two suggestions.

 

 

 

1: Add in the AVERAGE gold/hour you got, if you figured that out. I know that its totally random, but its still nice to think to yourself "Well heck, the AVERAGE person gets _____ gold per hour, and thats way better then green dragons." (Example) If you want to go really in depth with gold/hour, add in just the runs/racks profit.

 

 

 

2: In the prosylete method, why are you wearing rune gloves? The only excuse I can give you that you were aiming it towards lower levels, but even then, I would have added the barrows gloves in there, just so that people know that if they have them, they should use them.

Yeah, I was wearing rune gloves because it's for low levels, honestly I personally think that if you have barrow gloves perhaps you could afford torags, or be experienced enough in defence to use the rune method.

 

 

 

Honestly, the profit/hour doesn't work here, I get a lot of drops and I know people with 200+ Dry Streak, it's all luck, can't put 'Hey you can 2m/hour' while they would actually be getting way less than that.

An arcane spirit shield would be better than a dfs if you're maging most brothers (ancient and slayer dart meathod), 30 magic attack and 3 prayer are worth the lower defence. Both elysian spirit shields and devine spirit shields would also bet better than a DFS in all situations when you're not praying against all brothers, although elysian would be better then devine. So non-pray-on-all meathods should read:

 

Elysian > devine > DFS > spectral > arcane > blessed > whatever, except for maging, which should read:

 

Arcane > Elysian > devine > DFS > spectral > blessed > whatever.

 

I really question bringing full void along with your full equipped gear, I think bringing:

 

Armadyl > karil > black d'hide

 

Chest and legs, and using the extra inventory for other things would probably be better.

 

Using a SGS instead of an EE to spec would probably be better if you've got decent melees.

 

When ancienting it'd be better to wear a mitre, losing 2 magic attack is worth +5 prayer without a doubt. The ~12 melee defence isn't really an issue since you won't be getting hit by the melee brothers.

Hey, we're talking barrows mate, I'm giving people common methods, if I put a guide with expensive gear, very little will use it, so the point is to have regular equipment that people can afford, even though DFS is a bit expensive right now

 

 

 

EDIT: Also, while ancienting you don't actually pray, you freeze and run, why the need of prayer bonus?

The people that can afford to use elysian devine arcane and armadyl, usually DONT need a guide... And yeah as Jebus put it. It's barrows... You don't need any little recommendation saying that if u have any of those u will do better at barrows. It's like a minigame that lvl 70(combat) can do...

Let your yellow mellow.

Amazing guide, definitely 10/10.

 

 

 

But, with so many methods, would it perhaps be possible to rank the methods based on efficiency/speed regardless of requirements? <3:
