Barrow Reward Probability

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

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

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.

"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...

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).

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.

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 >.

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.

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

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.
