Barrows set up.

[mister_moocky]

[hide=Story time]After failing 4 times in the fight caves (due to my own mistakes, not level/item limitations) I was tired of it taking so long to get to Jad, even with black dhide and 80 range. So I decided to get 99 range to make it go faster. Got 80-89 on monkey gaurds with broads, void, and pots, and decided to get 89-99 on Aviansies for some cash and [bad] xp. I'm 93 with like 480k xp till my next level now (over the holidays guthans lasted me 2 days there, usually making over 2m a day) and I've decided once I get 99 range I'll buy atleast 90 mage (75 right now), buy 75 prayer (65 right now), spend 20-30m on items, and spend the rest of my Aviansie cash on summoning, since I'm still level 1. And then barrow. A lot.[/hide]

 

 

 

This is the set up I plan to use:

 

 

 

 

Maging everyone but ahrim, range him. I'm wondering if I should bring an armadyl plateskirt for ahrims, or just stick with vera'cs skirt? My mage def is just a bit over 100, and I'll have 82 def and 90+ magic. Comparing armadyl to verac's skirt: 27 range attack, 40 magic def, and an inventory space. Is it worth the inventory space? Also, I plan to use broad bolts, should I use better ones?

 

 

 

When I do this, I'll have 90+ hp, 90+ mage, 99 range, 75 prayer, and 81 defence.

 

 

 

SPECIAL WEAPON:

 

The only godsword I would be willing to buy is bandos, which costs 18.8m, putting my 20m item budget at over 30. Being able to reduce a brother's stats would be nice, but considering I'm only 81 atk and str, not too effective. Another (much cheaper) alternitive is the ancient mace, which restores prayer points for what you hit. Lastly, there is the old standard, the dragon dagger. I would probably be speccing karil. I'm leaning towards the dagger.

 

 

 

RING:

 

Seers has a nice +2 magic attack and defence. I'll probably be using a ring of life for the first trip or 2, just to get used to it. Is an explorer's ring a better choice, it has 1 prayer and 1 magic attack bonus? Keep in mind I plan to only pray on 2-3 brothers.

 

 

 

ORDER:

 

My plan is to kill them in this order: Karil(pray), Dharok (pray), Ahrim(use remainder), Torag, Verac, Guthan. Good/bad?

 

 

 

INVENTORY:

 

Haven't thought this out exactly yet. I was thinking ?Armadyl skirt?, dds, house tele tab, ?purple sweets?, Super restore, spade, then X prayer potions and Y food. Should I use tuna potatos or sharks? Are the sweets necissary? Should I bring a whip for getting my killcount up, or just use the dagger?

 

 

 

TRANSPORTATION:

 

I have a house with an altar and a canifis teleport. Should I just use it, refuel at the bank, then run to the boat and take it? Which quest, and how far do I need to get in it to use the boat?

Summoning is useless at barrows, and why not dh first?

 

Runner Boots seems reasonable.

 

Either go with RoL or Explorer ring, small pray and mage bonus is need there.

[pureprayer]

Whats inv look like? Will you pray on all of them (No) or just Dharok and Karil (Yes)?

[mister_moocky]

Updated with a preposed inventory. Yeah I only plan to pray on Dharok and Karil.

[pureprayer]

Then dont kill torag first. Also its easy with your stats dont worry.

[llamster]

Any sort of mage equipment whatsoever at barrows is overkill, unless your mage level and/or your mage attack bonus is truly awful (I'm talking level 50, -40 to -50 bonus). The melee brothers have extremely low mage defence, though I imagine Karil's is probably higher. But you should range or melee Karil to save on rune costs.

 

 

 

Two pieces of range equipment is also overkill. Don't bring the skirt. And use a ring of life unless you like taking unnecessary risks.

 

 

 

Tanking Ahrim is suicide. He hits as hard on 100 mage defence as Karil does on 200 range defence. That is to say, very very hard. Verac also hits very hard compared to Torag and Guthan even without the armor-busting set effect. Pray melee makes a huge difference.

With his 93 range and 65 prayer he will have enough prayer to kill Dharok Karil and mabye 1/4-1/2 of ahrim. Just wear dhide use reamaining prayer and kill ahrim it will be easy.

 

 

 

Slayer Dart is a classic i reccomend you bring that because its ftw

Ahrim hits harder than Karil, it doesn't make sense to try to tank him when you pray on Karil. Besides, range gear will only waste inventory space.

 

 

 

Slayer dart sucks. Don't use it.

Ahrim hits harder than Karil,

Sense when? Karil > Ahrim.

 

 

 

Slayer Dart /=\ Fire Wave if you include all aspects.

slayer dart sucks...no no it doesnt its the best spell to use at barrows period cheap and effective

[mister_moocky]

Updated. I do plan to use slayer dart, although I took your advice about not overdoing mage. I subbed ahrim's robetop for an armadyl chesplate, but since I still want to keep my magic attack above 0, I'm using a seers ring and infinity boots instead of runners.

[mister_moocky]

Bump.
