Barrows-for the average guy

[bflitny1]

There's one for high levels and one for low levels, so I'll do one for average people. For those of you are complaining, I would call average someone who:

 

-has slayer dart, a few deaths and minds

 

-has mystic robes

 

-can afford prayer pots and sharks

 

-has 50+ range and has a few rune arrows

 

-has done fremmy trials, most people have these days

 

Straigh to it...

 

 

 

What to bring (sorry but no pics)

 

 

 

-SPADE!!! So many people forget this!!!

 

-ahrims(or mystic) top and bottom

 

-farseer(or ahrims hood, same bonus, just costs more)

 

-zammy book or dragon square(or your best shield)

 

-slayer staff

 

-dark(or mystic)gloves

 

-wiz boots(or lightness if you're running far, mystic not really worth it)

 

-deaths and minds, about 100 deaths and 400 minds for every trip you want to do

 

-rune arrows or bolt racks(100 will do)

 

-mage short bow, karils xbow or crystal(crystal isn't that good for under 75-80 range)

 

-karils(or dragonhide)top and bottom, bring melee armour instead if you're getting your kill count up, but I don't suggest this.

 

-whip if you plan to get your kill count up(not advised if you have noted items or can do lots of trips)

 

-ectophial(not needed if you're banking in Burgh de Rotte)

 

-ring of life(wealth has no effect-confirmed)

 

-God cape, fire cape, obby cape or legends cape)

 

-prayer pots(or super restores, which are better, just harder to get)

 

-sharks, amount depends on whether or not getting your kill count up)

 

-about 5k gp if you've got noted items(along with the noted stuff of course)

 

 

 

Note: I'm level 100 combat, this works for much lower levels as well though, and I don't suggest getting your kill count up unless you're dangerousely low on deaths or minds, but I still suggest buying them. Also, until about 2 weeks ago, I used to get my kill count to 30 every trip, but on my 3rd trip of not getting it up, I got my first double item(verac helm and flail :D )

 

 

 

This my personal favourite way of doing barrows:

 

 

 

Order of killing:

 

 

 

1) Kill ahrim first using your best range armour and prayer(higher levels may not need prayer)

 

2)Karil next, wear ahrims or mystic and use slayer dart on him, with your shield if you have it. Remember your prayer!

 

3)Guthans is 3rd, wear ahrims and your shield(good mellee defence highly suggested), use slayer dart and prayer(use super restores after ahrim and karil if you have them)

 

4)Dharok...PRAYER with mage dart, no need for your shield here, so take it off if you have space

 

5)Verac, use slayer dart and prayer, again no shield needed

 

6)Torag, you the prayer you have left from Verac, if none, take 1 dose, if you're running out of prayer, switch to your best melee defence, he won't do much damage, lower levels(less than 85ish)use more prayer instead.

 

 

 

A lot depends who you have in the tunnel now, so I'll explain what I do for all 6 brothers.

 

 

 

If it's Ahrim, wear your best mage defence, but only if it has a reasonable melee defence too, and your whip if you have it on you(don't want to waste range ammo), as soon as he spawns, switch to your bow, drink a prayer pot if you need(higher levels don't) and use your special attack if you have mage short bow.

 

 

 

If it's Karil, where your best range defence, melee armour if you have, and have your spell on auto cast before entering the tunnel, as soon as he spawns, drink a prayer pot and prayer!!!! Switch to ahrims or mystic and murder him.

 

 

 

For Guthan, wear your best melee defence and have your spell on autocast, when he spawns, run a few spaces away from him and qickly pot before he reaches you, turn prayer on take another pot if you need.

 

 

 

Dharok is the one everyone dreads, but just go in with your best melee defence and spell on auto cast, when he spawns, do the same as you did for Guthan, but this time you can switch to your ahrims or mystic robes and remove your shield. Make sure you have plenty of prayer for him!!!!

 

 

 

Verac, again melee defence, autocast spell, run a few spaces and pot up, and change to mystic or ahrims and remove shield, don't worry too much if you're slightly low on prayer.

 

 

 

Torag, melee defence, autocast, lower levels take 2 doses of prayer pot and higher levels just one, lower levels can change to ahrims or mystic and remove shield, whilst higher levels stay on melee defence(you will still hit well and he can barely touch you)

 

 

 

Note, I always make sure I have at least 50% energy before going into the tunnel, so walk whilst you're above ground unless you have a high agility level (I'm guessing 70+ and are using super restores)

 

 

 

If you are getting your kill count up, don't get it above 30 as after that it no longer increases your chances of getting anything!!

 

 

 

If you're not sure about the puzzles leading to the centre, have a look at tip.it's guide. *edit* If you get your puzzle wrong, your 6th brother won't appear when you open the chest as he normally does, you WILL have to go searching for him! Make sure you get the puzzle correct, the best way to do this is simply to be able to recognise one of the answers stright away and just keep going until that question comes up, unfortunately you can take a lot of damage from skeletons doing this, so try and be able to recognise at least 2 answers instantly.

 

 

 

Once you've opened the chest, switch to melee defence, search the chest and if you have enough supplies for another trip, run like nothing back to your ladder(try to wait for any lag to disappear first if you can). If you don't or if you want to bank anything you got, teleport out and run to port phasmytys bank(not canafis), bank everything but boots of lightness(if you have), take a few energy pots and run to canafis bank, restock everything and get back to barrows ASAP.

 

 

 

If you have noted stuff, use up the prayer pots you have left in the same order as above and then run back to mort'ton and un-note some more sharks and prayer pots. Or if you're using the bank in Burgh de Rotte(advised) run there and restock everyhing you need, take a dose or 2 of energy potion and get back and kill whoever you still need to kill(note: if you're going straight into the tunnel, take an energy pot with you and use it when you get there, drop the vial for space(make sure you space for a few rewards!)

 

 

 

Doing this using Burgh de Rotte bank, no melee armour and not getting my kill count up, I can do 5 trips without banking, 4 with melee armour and a teleport. But I'm 77 magic and 100 combot, lower levels may only be able to do 1 trip each time.

 

 

 

If you're not sure of the best way for you to get to barrows, check the tip.it guide or just use the world map.

 

 

 

I think that covers everything, tell me if there's something missing. Ciao.

em what u call average guy?

 

 

 

lvl 90+ with 10M+ in bank? i wouldn't call them average.

 

 

 

this is same setup as high level players. for average full mystic + dhides and pray works like a charm.

 

i've been doing then in that setup and i'm lvl 80+. and use 6 pray DOSES a run.

[Toad]

average people yup, take a fire cape, guthans phat sets :)

Another nobody trying to become famous with another worthless guide... :roll:

[Lord Diddy]

just to say the ectophial is to save yourself from getting owned not to be used a a tele :roll:

[Satenza]

Another nobody trying to become famous with another worthless guide... :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

I hope the other 'nobodys' you talk of isn't including me :D

[RAHK]

 

-wiz boots(or lightness if you're running far, mystic not really worth it)

 

isn't the difference between wiz and mystic only +1?

 

-ring of life(wealth has no effect-confirmed)

 

may I see the proof? At least 1000 runs for "proof" or 200+ for a general idea. Not saying that it helps but you cannot say that without proof.

 

finish this later, supper is on the table, lol

I would recommend AT LEAST completing it before posting. Leesters himself would be laughed off of here for posting such drivel. Eh, think before you post. :)

[tewas]

rahk rof is worth having there is lag comes up or twins nicely shows up and hit's u.

 

 

 

it saved my bottom rear few times. i rather have that last security device saving me 300K than wealth that has (maybe) sligh chance get item

[darkarno]

Lots of barrow guides has already been posted... Another one wont change anything

[aafftteerr]

If you use Slayer dart I say just bring monk robes...since slayer dart isn't affected as much by magic bonus, you save a ton of pots...I use maybe two MAX a trip (91 cb)...

[bflitny1]

never tried monk robes, good idea though, white armour would work too, and lots of people use veracs, but if have veracs don't use slayer dart anyway, I might try the monk robes som day, ty anyway.

 

ectophial is a good idea, but I've found that you're only ever in trouble when you lag, which means you can't click to tele anyway, but I guess for under 90 (70-75 def)combat I would bring ectophial.

[darkarno]

Anyway, the monk robes are a very good idea !

 

I am going to try that next time i do barrow..

 

 

 

Nice idea

[Satenza]

Cof My Guide is centered around using monk robes, link in sig.

[bflitny1]

had a look at your guide satenza, just a hint, don't use your sara book, as it has low defences and +19 prayer would be fine, you're better off with a shield, even if it's only addy

[stealthman8]

sat your guide is great... if it wasint it wouldent be in the archive of wisdom

[Satenza]

I said to use zammy, or guthix as they dont need def, sicnce there praying all the way through.

[deangut]

I have a low lvl guide...

 

 

 

 

 

wear monk robes

 

air staff

 

100 mind runes

 

firestaff

 

200 airs.

 

(5) shrimp

 

(2) pies

 

Gold Ring

 

Bronze necklace

 

1 law

 

 

 

goto barrows use prayer and kill 1 bro with your mind spells. Tele to varrock. Recharge prayer. walk back to barrows. Do this on all 5

 

then run like a crazy noob to center and open chest. Pray on bro and kill (if you run out search chest and tele!)

 

 

 

P.S. this is not an official guide, if you attempt the above and I see you in tunnel, i will give you a cookie and special reward.. ((Simply for making me laugh as hard as the previous guide))

[bflitny1]

just had a thought, you'll still be better off with a shield as you'll probably save runes fighting guthan, he will heal a lot on lower level players, it also allows you to save prayer in the tunnel if you have a reasonable defence level. It also means Karil won't drain your agility as much and you can therefore run for longer, again saving prayer.

[tewas]

isn't slayer dart don't have negative mage bonus penalty?

 

 

 

and verac's set has one of highest pray bonuses in game + huge melee def bonus against guthans, cuz if u be wearing monk robes, prepare to do 200+ dmg to guthan :)

[Nidhoggx7]

I am going to try that next time i do barrow..

 

 

 

Nice idea

 

 

 

If that was sarcasm im an idot for posting what I am about to post....

 

 

 

Zammy Robes > Monk Robes

 

 

 

Zammy robes give magic bonus as well as prayer bonus. Add a zammy book and a glory = pretty prayer bonus and magic bonus.

Guthans platebody herte i come... :wink:

[moopymitchell182]

Guys, no need to flame him. He's just sharing how he does barrows. There is--believe or not--more than one way to do it.

[tiggehdroih]

you use prayer pots at 100 cmb?! ive been doing barrows since 98 combat(104 now) , and i have rarely used a dose, the only reason i bring a prayer pot with me is in case i run out of food and im low on hp.
