1.0 Introduction

 

In case you havent realized it already, master penance horns are awesome. Once full, they give you double xp while training some of the most tedious skills agility, mining and fire making. You fill it by playing Barbarian Assault. If you can fill it quickly enough, youll actually end up making significantly more xp/hour than training without it. But filling it can be difficult and frustrating when you first begin, so here are a few basic steps to succeeding.

2.0 Suiciding

 

Suiciding is a must. Its so important and so few people know about it that you should always be the one to make sure it happens. In order to fill your horn the quickest, the Healer needs to heal 528 Life Points each round, but in the first five rounds theyre usually unable because players do not take enough damage. There are two ways to remedy this:

 

1. Be a suicide collector. If you pick up the wrong colored egg, you take 50 damage. So pick up 11 eggs or less (less are needed depending on how much damage you and other players take) and then have the healer heal you.

 

2. Be a suicide Attacker. If you drink a dose of a Zamorak Brew, youll take 10% + 2 damage. So keep at least 6 Zamorak Brews (4) in your inventory and then, at the beginning of each round, drinking two doses. Then, have the healer heal you. Repeat 3 times or until 528 life points is reached. Furthermore, Zamorak brews lower your defense level so youll be able to take damage more. Wearing weak armor will help too, of course.

 

Its a little better to be a suicide Attacker than a suicide Collector for several reasons. (1) You dont lose points like you do if you pick up the wrong colored eggs as a collector. (2) Because teams are usually made up of two attackers, having one attacker being delayed for a short amount of time during the beginning rounds shouldnt be a big deal. (3) If Collectors dont do the suiciding, theyll have time to stock up the cannons to shoot the penance runners. (4) It takes less time for the healer to heal the attacker since he can do it at the beginning of the round next to the pool.

3.0 - Getting a Pro Team

 

If you play Barbarian Assault without a pro team, you will get very frustrated. Having all level 5 team members will make filling your horn quicker and more peaceful. Never go to the auto-pairing lobby because youll almost always get paired with unprofessional players if you go there. Only go there if youre not level 5 in any of the Barbarian Assault roles.

 

There are three basic ways to get a pro team.

 

1. Apply for a Pro Barbarian Assault clan on a Runescape Forum.

 

2. Tell people you will only join pro teams.

 

3. Make your own team and only accept people that are level 5 in their role.

 

Ive found that #3 usually gets you the best team members, since you are the one who decides who can join and who cant. However, it is definitely a job to be a team leader, especially if you plan to do quick starting at the beginning of each round (quick starting is when one person leaves the room after the end of the wave then comes back in and rejoins so you can start the game immediately instead of having to wait 30 seconds).

4.0 The Rest

 

Since there are so many other guides out there I see no point in making a completely thorough guide going over every role, how to get there, how much double xp to each skill the Master Penance horn will give you, etc. Try these three links from Runescape Wiki for this Barbarian Assault General Guide, Strategy Guide and the Master Penance Horn.

So basically, be a [bleep] or be pro.

 

sorry, I'm in a bad mood atm lol.

 

What if, you are a lvl 3 in each role, but have self esteem? Then what role do you pick?

then you pick to get level 5 in all the skills first
