lvls for barrowing

[Blueleader9]

I am wondering what the reccommended stats and outfit is to do barrows successfully. here are my stats. I am hopefully asking this to a barrows "expert".

A lil bit better pray and range. Your mage is good enough.

[Blueleader9]

ok ty but like what spells and what should i wear i only have 500k now.

[twr_phr33k]

I bring:

 

 

 

Hat: mystic

 

Arrows: 25 rune

 

Chest: mystic/rune body/torag

 

legs: mystic/ rune legs/torag

 

weapon: mage bow, whip, dds (used on Kharil)

 

gloves: barrow

 

boots: rune

 

 

 

misc items

 

 

 

food: 7 monkfish

 

4(4) ppots - youll need more since you have a lower pray

 

spade

 

air staff + 80 blood runes (for air wave)

 

tele runes to cammy

 

 

 

 

 

I think that's it... I'm still thinking.

Get slayer up 5 more levels for slayer dart and you'll be good. I started barrowing around your stats, and I would say those are the levels barrows is profitable no matter what you get.

 

 

 

Use monk or zammy robes for good pray bonus, sence pray pots will be your biggest expence, pray bonus is key.

[Bickehew]

Umm, you can do barrows easy.

 

 

 

 

 

Look at my stats "MattyB718"

 

 

 

i can do barrows easy, i take 100 deaths, air staff, green dhide armor set, about 8 ppots and a dds! (dds is for arhim, helps ALOT when killing him) and the rest food (apart form tele runes and shovel)

 

 

 

 

 

P.S i take lobbys =/

You could probably do it now, but if you want to do it fairly cheaply and effectively do the following:

 

 

 

Raise your slayer to 55, should be fairly easy and allows you to use magic dart which is god for magic at barrows.

 

 

 

Get your range to 70, not entirely necessary but helps none the less.

 

 

 

Bring around 3-4 prayer pots on your first trip, and as you get better at it you'll narrow down your invent and make it more streamlined.

 

 

 

Personally, i've done a few hundred runs and only use prayer pots now when I have a dharok tunnel. I'll either mage with magic dart in melee armour or melee verac them (which i'm favouring at the moment because i like collecting death runes for ancients), but you're probably a bit off doing barrows runs like that.

 

 

 

All you have to remember is pray on dharok and karil. Watch your health on verac like nothing else, range ahrim in mage defense armour (unless you want to use pray on all of them).

 

 

 

I would recommend bringing a holy wrench, since they boost the number of points you get per dose of prayer pot.

Leesters made a guide to barrows, which you can find in the Archive of Wisdom forum. Sorry but I can't really be bothered making a link right now. Apparently you should just wear the best melee stuff you've got, eve when maging them, and against karil the best range stuff you've got.

That is correct in some sense, but I'll break down everything what ppl have said so far and add a few of my own:

 

 

 

1. As it has been said, Ranged level to 70 to wear Black Hide, but this is NOT so that you can tackle Ahrim (the mage) wthout prayer. In fact my 88 Mage and 82 Defence still has MAJOR troubles against ahrim even in Karil's body and skirt (which has higher Mage defence than Black Hides). This is more for its ranged bonus.

 

 

 

2. The Higher the level of your prayer, the better. so that you wont drink as much p pots.

 

 

 

3. Same goes for defence, the higher the better.

 

 

 

4. If you are getting your slayer to 55 for darts, get 70 mage while you are at it. If you dont have at least 70 mage for darts, then you are better off sticking of Fire Bolt with chaos Gauntlets. This is because Slayer dart's damage increases by 1 for every 10 mage level you have. At 67, you do 16, same as Fire Blast, but Fire Bolt on Chaos Gauntlets do 15 damage. I do not consider 1 extra point of damage justifies the use of runes that are double the cost. If you get it to 70, it does 17, which would justifies it.

 

 

 

5. You can mage the melee brothers in Melee armor, despite heavy mage penalties because the melee brother's mage def is so bad that you still hit them anyway. You can save prayer pots if you do this on Torag and Guthan, however melee armor is nearly absolutely necessary for Verac because he hits through prayer now. So wearing mage armor will let you get hit very often, thus wasting a lot of food. I tried it with Sara Brewed def and hp with mage armor, i still managed to eat 3 sharks before actually killing him.

 

 

 

6. RING OF LIFE!!!!! Never ever anything else, not even if you can do them blindfolded.

 

 

 

7. When you get very skilled at barrows, you can check out the guide in my sig, it will help you save p pots and food if you have a melee bro as a tunnel

 

 

 

Other than that, good luck

get 55 slayer for magic dart, hits good and the runes are almost always replaced, (start with 400 or so casts), then get 70 mage so it hits 17 (it hits 10% of your mage lvl +10. once you get confident its ok to mage guthan, torag and verac in armour using food, its reccomended to always use armour vs guthan so it doesnt heal asmuch (it heals through prayer), they have such low mage def even in rune/any barrows melee armour youll still hit with mage. also get 70 range to make it abit easier to range ahrim. when fighting dharok, always keep an eye on your pray, if it runs out when dharok is low you can get 1hit, and be careful of your pray against karil and ahrim too, they hit very accuratley aswell.
