Barrow Reward Probability

Featured Replies

Simple. Is there a Barrow item reward probability in the barrows minigame? (e.g. 1/10 etc.)

Varies, it's totally random, for me it is 1/12.23 (100 Drops in 1223 Trips)

Thats quite good, would you say you've been luckier than most people or is that average?

Its long been established to be roughly 1:15.

I really find it hard to put a good number on it.... I've had back to back spears before, and I've had 40+ dry streaks. Really its just luck, but if I had to put a number on it, I'd say somewhere around 1:18 or so.

99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

 

Jagex'd out of my untrimmed hp cape on 6/14/2011.

"dry" run totals can be misleading, because I got two Dragon med helms back-to-back, one with a Dharok's helm, and Dharok platelegs less than 15 runs in between.

 

 

 

Is that normal? Probably not, but then again, neither are extended "dry" runs...

if you hope for one every 20 trips, you will be pleasantly surprised when it shows up sooner!

Well I consider myself lucky in barrows, only 4 times have I not gotten 2 drops within 8 runs of each other (Never had a double drop though)

 

 

 

I've had 28 drops overall, longest dry streak is 78 (murdered my average worse than rwt rules murdered stakers).

Best Rubik's cube time solve: 27.81 seconds.

Completed Facebook Tetris Marathon (670k score)

2000+ total with 5 99's, fletching, cooking, attack, thieving and firemaking

A couple of my friends said the probability of a barrows reward is 1/10, which is 1 in every 10 trips OR 10%. I think it's a little too high, and may be a lower probability.

15 dry- t hammers- 33 dry - back to back guth bodies - 63 dry and counting

 

 

 

as you can see some people are lucky, other are unfortunately not.

It's just luck and if you kill all the brothers or not... For example some people may get a item on their first trip... but me? I'm on a 40 rounds dry streak >.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest;

Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

 

- Confucius

The probability of rewards is 100%.

 

 

 

But armor is varied. I got my first piece after 18 runs. The second on 23, and the same piece on 25. Then later I had back-to-back drops and later still a 50+ dry streak. I've stopped keeping logs now. I use the time I save to do more runs.

I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way.

I believe the armor piece chest rate was set at about 1/18, but don't expect an item every 18 chests, as said before. Droprates usually only get accurate after many, many, MANY kills/chests/whatever.

Chuck Norris doesn't ever need a compass; he randomly points somewhere and north goes there in order not to anger him.

I've barrowed too many trips to remember and 1 in 12.5 or 13 sounds correct.

 

I believe its the same value that leesters got after a big barrows data scavenge

Umm, 100+ chests w/o an item starting from run #1. I gave up.

I got a brassy last night so that was nice.

 

You dont really lose money at barrows though. My past 7 or 8 magic levels have been from barrows and all i spent on runes was the initial 200 deaths for slayer dart.

 

The ammount of chaos and bloods you get more then pay for your prayer pots and food.

i think its just random because i did 157 on my main and i never got a drop

You killed all six brothers every time and in 157 runs NEVER got a drop?

 

 

 

Think about it...that's 942 brothers killed without anything for it except runes, coins, and bolt racks.

 

 

 

I'd be mad as heck.

I've had terrible luck with barrows (70+ dry streak twice...), so I just expect 1 item per 100 runs and I'm usually pleased with the results XD

 

1:15 might be a good ratio for some people, but I've NEVER been that lucky. I dont think I've ever gotten 2 items within 15 runs of each other.
