Modern Day Barrows

[TheAncient]

Just calced the average price of a barrows item - 1.7M

What's the fastest possible time barrows can be done, given maxed combat abilities nowadays (all chaotics, etc.)?

What's the probability of getting an item with 6KC?

[TDC]

The kill count doesnt affect the chances of getting a barrows item just things like runes and coins. There was some research done a while back that showed that a kc of 2 was the most profitable

You mean like, killing 2 things in the tunnels? I don't think 2 brothers would be very profitable

[Sy_Accursed]

All the studies etc I saw worked out kc of 8 - 10 was best for balance of time vs profit

[Zaaps1]

With rapier, turm, and ovls, runs should take about 5 mins if not less.

[ghjkl]

hell no

fastest way to barrows is mage

cstaff+surgebox+asn+ovls=3-4 minute runs

[manitstinks]

Im sure you would like to provide a set-up? :grin:

[Grogthurk]

I'd say do whatever way is fun. It takes me forever to do runs, but I have a hell of a lot of fun!

[MstrMonopoly]

It's like 2M/hr.

my bad ment 2 in the tunnels

 

http://www.runescoop.com/html/rs_TheRuneScoopLaboratoryReport6.htm shows that 3 seems to be the best, not a large samle of chests though

[R3moteman]

I often don't get any kill count or just the 1 so i can open puzzle door. I do this because i use slayer dart and with low KC i get minds and deaths almost every time so i can do endless runs with no G.E.

Also seeing as KC doesn't effect your barrows items all other loot from chests hardly adds to much profit. I think you will end up making more money getting minimal KC becasue you get more runs per hour so higher chance of barrows drop within that hour. The only time i would get KC is if i used Guthans in the tunnels.

[notasoupbowl]

Generally I heard the probability of a barrows item is 1/18 per chest, which I think sounds right. My average run was taking 4:45 using piety:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doing 12 runs per banking, taking about an hour.

 

Also my combats aren't quite maxed.

3rd age mage hat

arcane stream necklace

ahrim's robetop

ahrim's robebottom

god cape e.g. guthix

chaotic staff

celestial surgebox

infinity boots

gloves (barrows)

seers' ring (i)

+ magic focus scroll from wolpertinger

augury

 

for karil & ahrim, use:

helm of neitiznot/zerker helm

dragon defender (upcoming)

rapier

bandos chestplate/tassets

tassets

fury

fire cape

d boots

b gloves

zerker ring (i)

turmoil

 

ofc, use ovls for speed

 

idk whether it'd be better to use leech def+mage and turmoil over augury + piety... ask the calculation peeps about that lol

 

also... bank in the dead village close to barrows for max efficiency

[manitstinks]

:ohnoes: thats a lot of things to switch. I think regular spellbook is better.

i hope you mean prayer book lmao

[Zaaps1]

How are you using the Wolpertinger scrolls though? Isn't it a little inconvenient to have to summon a new one every run or so?

[Tact]

I was under the impression that familiars of all kinds are not allowed at Barrows.

[Quyneax]

Indeed, and all that switching is very impractical, too. Full void deflector + barrows gloves, rapier and such can do consistent 5 minute runs. I don't think you can make that much faster as you're already 3-4 hitting the brothers as it is, and any more gear cuts into your staying power, thus, longer runs because of more banking.

[ghjkl]

Erm no no way do you 3-4 hit brothers. Mage is at least 1.5x faster than melee seeing as melee hits like 40-50% of the time and mage hits 99.9% of the time.

[Quyneax]

I use 5-6 hits per brother, sometimes only 3, and I'm not even close to max melee. So yes way. They don't have much defence, maybe about on par with miths or so. Melee is one tick faster and has a higher max hit.
