njrox11 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 i took a break from runescape about 4 months ago and i came back on about last week. When i left barrows was a fun and profitable way to play rs, now everything except the guthans spear is averaged to around 300-400k...when i left everything was at about 700-1m.

ddaanniiellh Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have never lost a single gp doing barrows, and I find it still very fun to do. Very rarely does the reward not cover what I use (Around 5 sharks at most) per trip ~dan : 1437 : 173Lowest Combat to 1,000 Total in F2P (23 Combat)Check me out on YouTube!

Canineteeth Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Still profitable, but Supply Vs. Demand can't be fought against. Btw, dharoks helm is still 1m+ I think, and guthans helm is 2 or 3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

re4p3r1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 yeh i've noticed that too. back then i would only see the highest levels or richest with barrows but now seems like every other person has it. as for profitable, the stuff you get even the runes cover any expenses you use. even the bolt racks are sellable.

Italian5kamikaze Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yeah I remember looking at other peoples banks and wishing i could afford every barrows set and now theyre so cheap i can own them and placeholders for each item :? Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It's how you define profitable, really. It makes money? Yes. Does it make you very rich like it used to over a year ago? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Meh, it depends. If your fast, efficient, high level, and willing to speed through everything like a machine, you can make decent (~400K) an hour profit. If you do 1-2 trips per run and lollygag around with a godsword and whatnot like most barrowers I've seen, expect mabye 200k. I aim for 8 minute runs, including banking; I don't always hit that depending on my tunnel brother, but its not that far off. That was back when I did barrows for a couple of days steady, made roughly 12m off of very lucky drops. Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It can make you money without fail, but not at the best rate. You'll be better off getting 83 slayer, that's where the money is now, unless you'd rather kill boss monsters with teams, but that's not as reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchart Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 barrows is very rare to get good drops nowadays..last 30 trips I did I got always runes :S dont really know where the good money is...maybe gwd if you are soooooooooo lucky :) GWD:Sara : 6 saradomin swords in 3 trips with teamBandos : Hilt, Tassets, Chest and Boots (with team) 2 Shard 3 from minionsArmadyl : nothing yetZamorak : 1 steam staff (with team)Spiritual Mages : over 40 dragon boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
