Adamant+ arrows / Mithril+ bolts / Bolt racks (all at least 50)

 

 

 

Inventory:

 

Spade

 

Runes needed (Minds + Deaths for Slayer Dart; airs / fires + chaos / deaths for Fire Bolt/Blast)

 

One-click teleport (ectophial, teleport tablet)

 

Dragonhide body + chaps

 

Magic shortbow / Rune crossbow / Karil's crossbow

This is my setup for Barrows. It works wonders.

 

 

 

If you've got a whip, then you can and probably should melee Karil in the crypt. That's what the optional DDP++ and super attack is for.

I bring a ppot just in case i need it for dharoks in the tunnels. Anything else, i basically don't need to use ppots for. But then again, I do 1 run trips.

there is a way to use slayer dart with no ppot albeit at the cost of more food and only if karil AND ahrim are not your barrow brothers. the way is basically like that: first with full prayer go take on karil. once he is dead use whatever left over prayer on ahrim (who is quite easy and so i dont usually use prayer on him) next, go straight into the tunnel. for this part you have to be a veteran at the safespots in the tunnel. for beginners ill recommend the North-East room as there are the most number of safespots there...once you get there keep opening doors and once a brother come out, lure him behind the safespot and mage him from there...repeat for the other 3 melee brothers and u are done O:)

life may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?

It's easy to do Barrows without p pots, if you want to use food and spend tons of time teleporting and running around. Remember that time and money are tradeoffs, and you are usually better off finding a way to do 2, 4 or more chests per trip rather than spending your day running through the swamp.

I usually manage guthan and torag without prayer, and sometimes ahrim. I wear my rune even though I mage torag and guthan. It still works well. I sometimes need to eat a couple of monks.

Another way to approach Barrows is to basically kill only Ahrim and Karil in the crypts, then use the safe spots within the tunnels for the remaining melee brothers. Now is this faster? Problem is spawning the brothers can take a long time.

 

 

 

A good tactic would be to just use the approach outlined earlier, where you pray on Dharock and use the leftover prayer on the brothers you find the toughest to kill (differs between players...most find Karil and Verac to be other brothers that can dish out damage fast if you aren't careful). Finish your run. I find Ahrim is easily handled with dragon hides/karils and karils crossbow. If you have food left, then begin the run over again but this time leave Dharock to kill in the tunnel using a safe spot.

 

 

 

Repeat until you are out of food then go replenish your prayer and inventory and begin again.

No, it's incredibly slow, actually. I used to do this when I was lower level.

 

 

 

It saves p pots but you will take like 20+ minutes to do a run.

I don't see why anyone would bring a prayer pot for a dharok tunnel. I usually get all happy because I can save my prayer for karil(karil and ahrim use up most of my food on a non-dharock tunnel). It's always so nice to have a melee brother tunnel because you can just safespot them. I always seem to get karil in the tunnel, though :wall:

safespots + melee in tunnel = 0 pray used every time, or at least p pots. I still bring an emergency pray pot for saftey, and then finish all the brothers with food only (verac gets very annoying sometimes)

dont ever use prayer if dharok is your tunnel bro...it is really a blessing in disguise cause the safespots are aplenty in the tunnel...there was this safespot guide made by a tipit mod under the "guides" category so maybe you can have a look first...it says that every of the corner rooms are useful for spawning a melee brother as one can sidestep him at any of the corner rooms...in case u didnt know, every of the corner rooms will have an invisible ladder in the middle which u can use as a safe spot.

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in the deaths from the chest? I usually lose 40-50 deaths and gain around 500 minds.
