October 24, 200718 yr I was wondering if an effective way of doing barrows was to use only range. If a person with a high range level were to use a rune crossbow and good bolts, or even a Karil's Crossbow, I could see this possibly being a somewhat powerful method. My question is how effective the all range method would be, if it would even work at all. Also, if you'd like to, feel free elaborate on the possible gear that could be used. Please post any guides that might cover this issue if there are any. Thank you for reading :D
October 24, 200718 yr Yes it is possible and it can be affective with the right gear and a very high range level (85 or 90+ at least). You of course could do it with lower but the higher the level the better. Your best bet would be using some sort of high level enchanted bolt (addy with diamond or mithril with emerald bolts). And for armor you'd want something that gives a high range bonus but also a decent prayer bonus so your prayer doesn't get drained really easily. And you just would need to incorporate what I just said into your current method of Barrowing.
October 24, 200718 yr The barrows brother have a high range defence so it'd be tough but do able. I suggets sticking with mage though.

October 24, 200718 yr Would it be effective? i guess that using addy (e) bolts could fix the range def problem, but it may still be too slow for it to be a viable way to barrow. As for prayer boosting armour, doesn't blessed d hide give some? All in all, it COULD work. Going for a Dragonfire Shield-Almost there!
October 24, 200718 yr I would stick with mage, it makes runs go faster, and you can get more/better loot quicker 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer
October 24, 200718 yr I've ranged the barrows and it was actually quite succesful. I used enchanted diamond bolts. This guide explains what to do. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=688196 Barrows drops: 27 - 2 SpearsDragon drops: 6
October 24, 200718 yr It might be usefull at very high ranged lvls. But I would stick with the old method.
October 24, 200718 yr It's possible. I tried myself at 91 ranged and 45 defence using a ranged potion and monk fish. It works without p pots but it's alot slower then magic.
October 24, 200718 yr Rune C'bow with Addy/Diamond enchanted bolts. (Special attack hits through armour, similar to Veracs set effect)
October 24, 200718 yr i wrote a guide about this here: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=688196 edit:i have just seen your stats you have great stats and you can range them easilt read the guide^ if you still have questions drop me a pm :wink:
