Best way of doing barrows?

[DarkerFalz]

What's a good way for me to do Barrows and get the most kills per trip?

(Ie, what should I wear, and what should I take in my inv?)

Items:

BGS

Nezzy Helm

D boots

DFS

Black Sally

Torag's Top

Torso

Verac's Skirt

Ahrim's Top

Ahrim's Hood

Karil's Top

Karil's Skirt

SW Cape

Zammy Spear

Staff of Light

Warriors/Archers/Seers rings

DDS

Void mage/range/melee (no deflector)

Full Dagon'hai

Zammy Coif

Rune Crossbow

Broad Bolts

~2.5m to play with

 

Other:

I have Ancients and Lunars, and a Kharyll tele in my house. I do have some experience at barrows, but I haven't been there in a while. I've got the 6-min grave, though. I can bank in Burgh de Rott.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

(Please, if you answer, I am no good at figuring out bad grammar. I can guess "om us mgic drt@@@" but that's about it. :/)

If you plan to do this regularly, get battle robes.

 

else,

 

Best magic gear you can afford.

Staff of Light

preferably Arcane Stream Necklace

 

Get an Enhanced Excalibur, it does really help in the tunnels/free healing + def.

 

The first brother you do is karil, use a prayer pot dose for him.

For ahrim, bring black d hide and rune c bow with broads. use leftover prayer points on him.

For the melee bros, use ice blitz, and then hide behind a coffin when they get immune to freeze wait some seconds and continue. But usually you'll down them pretty fast.

For tunnel or general healing, bring Blood blitz or similar.

Don't spend extra runes for tunnel KC, it does NOT increase chance of barrow items.

 

Invetory would be:

 

1 Click tele

Emergency Food

Prayer pots, quite a lot

Runes for Ice blitz and Blood Blitz

 

Pros of this method:

 

- Very efficient, and the speed pays off for the costs unless you run on a very long drystreak.

- Quite fun.

- Fast!

- Looks pro.

 

Cons:

 

- Expensive, but it pays of in the lenght.

- Click intensive, but not more intensive than black sally/ancient.

- Might run on a drystreak and loose a lot of money.

 

My friend with 99 magic does this method sometimes. He earns around 500k-4mil an hour depending on if he get barrows helm pieces.

Hmm, How long does it normally take to get an Arc Stream? I've already bought a coal bag with my points, and, as you can see, I'm only 49 dung. Is there a good (ish) team I can get into to get the level for an Arc Stream, or will it take more than a few weeks, playing ~1 hour per day?

 

Summary: Is there a good team I can get into at 49 dung, and how long will it take to get an Arc Stream, playing ~1 hour per day?

 

If it takes more than a few weeks, I might just use a glory, and use the rest of the gear you suggested.

[Hegelstad]

Well, you should get some friend irl or in game and organize some sort of events. You don't usually find any good teams in w117 unless you are very high lvled. But anyway: Good Team> Bad Team > Solo> Very bad team.

 

And when you first get to play dungeoneering i would suggest putting aside 2 hours a day, and then skip a day instead, because you can't really pause and continue were you left, so continuity is quite important to get a good effect. I don't know the numbers but it will take quite some time. Since you dont just need 30k tokens, but lvl 70 dungeoneering as well. I would say its worth it, as you probably will get a chaotic weapon sometimes else too. 15% damage increase is alot. But if you dont have the time, dont get it ;-)

[UnknownRemoval]

It should only take a few days to get the Arcane Stream, not too long at all if you play enough. A glory really isn't efficient when it comes to what could be used in the item slot. Although at 1 hour a day it could take three weeks or more, not so sure.

 

But yes, the way posted above is very effective, although you can replace ranging with melee if you can get a hold of a pair of dragon claws. Switching to d'hide/arma body and melee'ing Ahrim means you won't really need to use prayer, although you will when fighting Karil.
