Barrows help

[Saladin643]

I need some money, I hear that barrows is reasonable money but I don't know how best to do it.

I haven't done The branches of darkmeyer yet but I've got the levels so assume I've done it.

 

I'm thinking something like neitiz helm, ahrims top, mage arena cape, mystic bottom, barrows gloves, infinity boots, sol, arcane stream, seers ring and unholy book using ice blitz.

I'd use a whip on karil and msb with rune arrows on ahrim.

What can I improve, what inventory, what things could I improve with more money?

change seer ring to row, use spec at karil or eee to heal if u have it.

seeing u will done the quest just one prayer pot is enough,the guide on wiki is an improvement gear if u have the money.

also haven't u done ROTM to meet the new brother and rewards?

[Quyneax]

He hasn't, it requires 77? agility.

 

Your method sounds good, look into Vecna's skull/(extreme) magic potions to use ice barrage instead. Bring black dragonhide (at least top) for ranging Ahrim.

Would a ring switch not be more effective here? As in the ROW will only come in handy at the chest so a ring switch will actually be preferable.

[Sinkhan]

I think with the prices of bloods and deaths going up, you could look into using a black sally or staying on the basic spell book, using entangle, and then just casting earth surge (bring a vecna).

 

RoW switch would be handy. I've done trips with my offensive ring only to switch on the chest to get the prayer potion/sharks/restores.

 

Also if you can get ardy cape 2 (or 3, but that seems further way for you), it will make prayer restoration trivial in combination with the medallion.

[herpderp]

dont use row its crap at barrows all it does is gives u food/prayer pots from chest

[Hedgehog]

Use a real ring then switch to row before you open the chest.

 

It's not like inventory space is an issue.

[Saladin643]

Ok, I have a vecna skull and all the stuff for ardy cape 3 except 65 theiving should I get that?

I'll use a row switch as well.

[Sinkhan]

I would say the benefits of using ardy cape over mage cape are well worth it, not to mention that it's simply a useful cape in general. +6 pray bonus and super fast prayer recharges between runs makes things really easy.

 

Typically after I do a run, I tp to the monastery to recharge prayer and then return to the barrows with the medallion. I kill dharok, karil, and Ahrims with prayer and then kill the other brothers with kiting. If I meet a brother in the tunnels, 1 dose of prayer is often enough.

[Hedgehog]

He should have an altar in his poh, which would be better than using an ardy cape.

[Jessome18]

black sally

[chenw]

Verac armor all the way as well. You don't need any mage gear whatsoever to do barrows efficiently. Just don't go below -20 mage attack bonus (hence why I recommend verac, the brassard only has -6 as opposed to other armor's -30, that's without taking its prayer bonus into account).

 

Black Salamander, Fire bolt w/ chaos gauntlets, FIre blast, any surge, Slayer dart, ice burst are all efficient ways to mage Barrows, but it is not limited to that list.

 

Oh, and if you can or are willing to put the effort into questing, do Branches of Darkmeyer (at least till where you unlock all of Medallion's power), it will make Barrows faster by eliminating the running.

How is it better?

[Dusk Souls]

I think the idea was to have an altar and a portal to cannifis to get an extra inventory space; but I think the medallion makes that less useful but I am not sure :-?

[Sinkhan]

Ardy cape + medallion takes care of all prayer and travel needs. There's no point in taking house tabs for going to your house.

A medallion is certainly top notch and worth having, but it really isn't necessary. If you have a house with an altar and a canafis portal, you can tab, quickly recharge pray, go to canafis, and tele to the barrows area. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you use the medallion to teleport at canafis, you won't lose a charge, meaning you're less likely to be stuck having to hoof it from wherever you are to the hole in Burgh De Rott.

[Quyneax]

I think the 5-10 seconds you spend running to your Kharyll portal & teleporting from there don't mean anything to recharging your amulet every 7 runs, which also takes 10 seconds.

Amulet has 10 charges, so up to 9 runs. If you're compulsive like me and check the charges on it every run, it's also unlikely that you'll be out of charges.

 

Bringing teletabs just seems like an unnecessary cost to me (although you could argue it's a useful 1-click tele).

 

OP has already stated that they have the levels for BoD and they also may pursue ardy cape 3. I can't find any strong arguments for using house tabs given those two items.

[chenw]

The argument for the teletabs as a 1 click teleport fades to insignificance when you compare it to Ectophial or Tiny Elf crystal. Ectophial will let you bank and replenish prayer with the medallion without using any charges, while Tiny Elf crystal requires less teleports (Altar and bank in town already). Ectophial is free and Tiny elf crystal costs a fraction of the cost of a teletab (or even a law rune).

[Saladin643]

I just need to do a few more quests for ardy cape 3, then Bod I'll use same as my setup in the op except with veracs top and bottom and ardy cape.

Does that sound right?

[Quyneax]

Yup, perfect.

[chenw]

I second that

[The_Fray]

I am curious what is the highest profit you can make with max stats at barrows?

[Sinkhan]

You may want to stick with Ahrim's robe if you're finding yourself not hitting often enough, but otherwise it should be fine. You should realize that prayer bonus is not of high priority here since it drains so rapidly anyway.

 

The avg for a barrows piece is around 1/17 or 1/18 (though I've personally gone 67 chests without one <_< ). My runs take around 3 minutes from prayer recharge to prayer recharge. Calc the avg price for barrows pieces, throw in bloods, deaths, and bolt racks as well as shave off a few seconds for being maxed combat and you'll have your figure.

 

I can't imagine it being higher than 2m an hour though.
