bobby1167 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hey all, I've been doing lots of barrows lately and I'd thought I would share a few things about the barrows, my experiences and everything :) (Note: This is like other guides ) Here I go: First, you want to have the right stats. I reccomend (If you do what I do :wink: ) that you have these stats 55+ Prayer 70-80 Magic At least 70 defense 55+ Slayer ( Magic\Slayer dart) 70 Ranging (At least 70,mine is 77 and I kill Ahrim pretty fast ) Thats pretty much all I can think of My stats, just incase :P What to take with you! This is probably the hardest part of barrows..Deciding what to wear and if you want to risk something or not. Personally I don't mind taking much, I used to take full Ahrims, Full Karils, and Full Torags ( All without the weapon ) What I suggest for begginers(Will get to you pro's in a moment O.o ) Now, for you pro's out there wanting a new technique Map: Theres picture of crypts, tried making my own but didn't work so I had to use Tip.Its.. Now, for you barrower's here's how you're gonna want to do it in this order: First, when you enter the gates, you'll want to head straight to Dharoks crypt (FIRST CRYPT ON THE LEFT WHEN YOU ENTER!! Note: When you enter the crpyts you can look at the weapons on the sarcophagas(sp?) Okay,back to Dharok, you'll HAVE to prayer him full unless your ancient'ing,wanting a Death wish, extremely brave, or a pure idiot :wink: So, next you'll go to Karil (Warning: Do NOT let your guard down on him, he is one dangerous brute) His crypt is the most southern from the gates ( Check picture, that I need to get )Mage and prayer are required probably to kill Karil, just keep your prayer up and mage him to the death. Next comes Verac, take him Prayer dose by prayer dose, he's really very easy, just drink one dose and if that doesn't work, drink another to finish him off Now comes Ahrim, He's really your choice, you can drink a dose, I do because I like to do 2 chests a run, 1 dose should be enough with Rune or Addy arrows..You will probably have to eat food if you choose not pray. Now is Torag\Guthan, you choose who comes first..I'll start out by telling my experience with Guthan Okay, Guthan has always hated\loved me..He's given his spear to me twice, but when I was a barrow newbie, he beat the crap out of me and ended up killing me..Didn't lose much but still..I went back to him and taught him a lesson 1 + 1\2 hour later..But after that he hasn't given me his spear, at times I need to sell it most :(. Alright..Enough of me, back to barrows, here's what you should do for Guthan(Own him pl0x, he hates me)Prayer or Good armour will do, I wear Rune chainbody and Zamorak Plateskirt(LOL, just so I don't care if I lose it)..Wearing that, my God cape, Mystic boots+gloves, and Obby shield you should do okay hitting, that is mostly the same for Torag except Torag seems to hit a little lower, Guthan always killed me today when I was using lobsters cause I don't usually need Sharkies..(NOTE: Which ever brother is your tunnel, just go onto the next one) Alright..So your in the tunnel wanting to open that prized chest??? You want to get into the center with the chest, be ready, every door your open could have your brother behind it..If you don't find him by the time you get to the center, ****OPEN**** NOT SEARCH! Your brother should pop up as soon as you open it!! Have your prayer\armour ready, don't worry, if your brother is Dharok, he will have full HP :wink: After your brother is dead\owned, get your kill count up to about 15(You will get more runes, coins, bolt racks and such if you get higher than 10 about, you will averge on 42(?) Bloods a chest, 283 Chaos (?), 214 Deaths(?) 402 Minds (?) 51 Racks (?), Coins is to hard to know..These aren't really averaged but I just put what I usually get, After your kill count is about 15, search that chest for your reward!!!!

evilboy1034 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Has anyone ever counted how many of these we have now? Ugh, I'm starting to get sick of these. The best guides have been the ones in Leesters "Best Guides~" sticky Ok, I'm not trying to be mean to you, it is an ok guide. You should try to make a pure Slayer Dart guide to Barrows.

noriad Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The mage outfit bonus might be a bit overkill. I barrow with ancients, got 92 mage, wear full metal gear including shield, and wear zammy cape, farseer helm etc. to end up a -9 magic attack bonus/penalty with ancient staff, and hit the melee brothers 90% of the time. Yes their magic defense is that low. The melee outfit helps a lot keeping damage low in the tunnels, as most damage I get is from the vermin that lives there. For Karil`s you need a slightly better magic attack, I hit only 50-60% of the time with full melee outfit, but if I take off my metal armor and put up protect from range prayer, I hit most of the time. However, dds specs followed by whip kills Karil almost as fast and saves runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ero Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Why do none of these barrows guides feature the bank if Burgh De Rott, it helps trips ALOT. Mystical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NETTY Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Why do none of these barrows guides feature the bank if Burgh De Rott, it helps trips ALOT. Mystical. Becuase that city doesn't have an altar to recharge your prayer at. If you're running down there in between chests, you must be wasting tons on ppots to recharge your prayer. Or, you're wasting hours running around Runescape for no good reason. Without an altar that city is only good if you get in serious trouble between brothers (ie, running out of supplies), and you HAVE to bank but don't want to leave the chest unsearched.

Yea and using the house way is almost as fast from walking to Burge de Rott and banking, going back. By the time you get back to the barrows from the Burgh de rott, then the other person will be almost to the barrows.

deangut Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Burg de NOT This city is great for shade collecting, Burning, Runnin supllies to burn shades to bank or building temple. This bank isn't effective for barrows since POH came out. Single click to POH (tablet) Pray at alter Tele to cannifs Bank there. Run to barrows. Almost as quick and you save 2-3 doses of PPot.. Veracs saves runes but not as fast. ((Maybe as fast if you 94+ Att and 80+ str.)) But with Dart you about break even, but if you want to keep the runes I guess it's an option. I did a test on Ancients vs Slayer Dart http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=439170&highlight= Breaks down cost and profits and a point of view on XP..
