JimmyD17: Barrowing... Ultimate Chest

Featured Replies

Intro

 

I've been a scaper since way back when. Started in classic and fumbled my way around for a few years before I hit my stride in 06/07. As I did, my life also got a lot more complicated, so I simply stopped logging in. I've logged in a few times in the past couple years to see how everything was going, mock the newest updates, and even played around with summoning a while ago. As it is now, I'm back for another little stint, but with some distinct goals in mind.

 

Immediately, those include:

 

91 Runecrafting

 

and

 

a Green Partyhat

 

 

 

The Runecrafting

 

I've always had a soft spot for runecrafting. When "Runescape 2" was released I didn't care enough to level it, but I mined essence like no other. Therefore, runecrafting was responsible for my first few million, and I hadn't even tried it. Eventually, I found it a good way to make money, earn some experience, and fuel my magic habits. Always had the long term goal of level 91 and regardless of natures being in the dumps right now, I figured it'd be worth another shot.

 

Going to go at this most likely with 100% bloods and GOP.

The Partyhat

 

I had a Green Partyhat quite some time ago, think I had bought it for ~140m, but through some complicated circumstances I carelessly lost possession of it... I had earned that one almost exclusively by doing barrows, so I figure I'll try it again. Fortunately, prior to me quitting I had managed to save up and bought a Mask Set. Unfortunately, I sold the Green during one of my weekly returns to buy some runecrafting essentials. With the wonders of inflation, my investment had me sitting on a little nest egg of just under 300m.

 

To achieve this, I'm going to do what I did best, which was Barrows (and sell off my longer term goal of 91 runecrafting...). I can usually do 3-4 chests per run and 2 runs per hour. Only spend roughly 18k on supplies per run. Lately, (without factoring in profit from items) I've been averaging approx. 320k profit an hour. Eventually I'll try and organize a barrows log as well.

[spoiler=[size="1]About Me[/size]']Live in British Columbia, Canada. Left runescape a while ago to pursue university. Ended up dropping out after the first year to work/travel. Spent some time in Europe, South Africa (was even there to watch a few World Cup games :wink: ), and then back to Europe to hike and camp through Switzerland, Italy and Croatia. Just recently got back home, broke... but, now I have a year to play with until I go off to Nova Scotia for a four year program. Hurray!

You have 99 magic, using speed at high cost yields alot better money per hour if your not going on a drystreak. Try barraging and blood bursting all the melee brothers and only use pray on karil. Use blood burst if you need to heal, and bring a rocktail. In the tunnels, don't get KC, it doesnt improve the chances of Barrows gear. Its costly, but you can do about 60 chests a trip, in maybe 3-4 hours or less.

 

Essential Equipment:

 

Arcane Stream Necklace, from dungeoneering, a whopping 15% damage boost

Staff of Light, 15% Damage Boost, Saves runes

Battle Robes, Save many runes, average magic attack

Good Gravestone 6 minutes. High risk of death if not handling Dharok properly.

My lame drops:
6 Effigys
1 D Med - 1 D Dagger
1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody

Personally, I'm more comfortable doing it this way. I'm not going full bore to complete it as I have side goals as well. I want to get 85 attack by only meleeing Karil and the 3-5 blood worms to get my KC. I know KC doesn't affect chances of getting a Barrows item, but it does affect what and how many runes/bolts you get. And I find that 3-5 nets me a nice profit in an allowable amount of extra time per chest.

well, my method is 1-4m / hr, while you is maximum 500k and really slow exp. Better use the time saved by using my method training attack at armoured zombies with neat boosts ;-) Time is money my friend!

Again I thank you, but I like my method better. Personally, more enjoyable. Plus...
