What's the best approach to doing barrows?

 

 

 

I haven't been since before summoning came out!

 

 

 

I have 10M to work with, and a BGS that I could sell I guess.

You can't use summoning in Barrows, so just do the way you used to do.

So slayer dart is still the best way?

If it was best for you before, I'm just saying that barrows has not changed due to summoning.

My method:

 

Wear high defense armor (I use veracs for pray bonus), use slayer dart, only praying on dharok and karil. Bring d'hide & c-bow for ahrim, and melee wep for tunnel. Also bring 1 pray pot just in case you get a dharok or karil tunnel.

 

 

 

Some will swap out slayer dart for a salamander, though I think dart is a lot more effective.

Just a question, why use verac's if your not praying against many of the brothers? The brasard has bad defence compared to other barrows platebodies, which would save you more money on food for the non-prayer bro's, than veracs brasard would for the prayer brothers.

 

 

 

 

 

Personally donkey, i think you would do well using the same method as me as you have fairly high melee levels.

 

 

 

I tank-verac the brothers. I've tried godswording with high off/str gear, and it is still miles behind veracs for speed of kills. The other reason i prefer tank-veracing is that it uses up almost no supplies. I usually spend a maximum of 20k on 4 chests. That inclused the pure set, and about 23 pineapple pizzas. I'll log in and screenshot my inventory/gear, and edit this post.

That gives me 4 chests per trip, usually with some pizzas left over.

 

The method is fairly simple. Drink 1 dose of the pure set at dharok's tomb. Pray melee protect+piety on the first dharok of the trip, then range pray and piety karil. Use any remaining prayer using piety and melee prot to take verac out as quick as possible taking as little damage as possible. He can still hit, but the prayer still reduces it a bit, and piety wipes him out quick. Tank torag and guthan, torag usually gets one or two hits, but nothing major. Then range ahrim last as he reduces your combat stats. Obviously you'l get one of them in the tunnels, but after killing them, don't bother healing over 85hp. Run out after you've collected your items from the chest, go back to dharok's hill, use excaliburs special, wait a second, then pot up and no pray dharok. He's a [kitty]cat once you get over the fear of him honestly. He probably hits me once in 5 kills, nothing bad. Torag usually does more damage overall to me than dharok. Just afespot him behind his coffin if he hits you.

I used to tank the brothers and use no potions per run, but only one chest per run.

 

 

 

I might get veracs to do it. :thumbup:

More bonus = more pray points left over, so I usually have enough to pray against ahrim too, who can sometimes get in some lucky high hits.

 

I rarely get hit by the other brothers so the extra defense isn't too necessary for me (Usually I only use 0-3 sharks between killing torag, guth, and verac.)

I think I'd rather pray on dharok. :P

You better pray at dharok or you'll probably end up dead :P

You use Verac's brassard because if has little or no negative mage attack bonus. If you are wearing full Verac's and zammy book, then you should have a positive magic bonus.

Most cost effective is void + GS. It costs me just a super set, 1 prayer potion and a little bit of food. The rest is pure profit, not runes, no ammo and no degrading.

 

Any speed you lose on kill time is made up with the faster kill count and faster ahrim/karil kills.

I tried that, but the kills were much slower, and i took much more damage than with verac's.

Black salamander and whip works for me.
