Aquashock Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 2 weeks, 10 chests a day, Missing 3 days, Means a 100-110 dry streak, from guthans plate (115th item) to my veracs skirt (116), of course shortly after (3 chests :)) i got a flail and guthans skirt, so im not complaining :) ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jard_Y_Dooku Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hmm... 38 dry runs so far. 7 more to go then it's slayer time. I'll let you know if these final 7 yield anything. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamfarming Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 18, got Karil's crossbow on my 3rd ever trip and then BAM! Guthans Spear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd17 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I agree with Reb. 350 seems way out there... In my barrows experience (70-87 magic and over 140m made) my longest dry spell was about 59-63 where I still made over 5m in runes. Leester was there when I finally came into some luck with a Greataxe. He was also on a mid-50's dry spell which he broke just before me. :P I can't say that I enjoy dry spells, but it's not like you can't make money there anyways. Just need to get a reasonable KC quickly and it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehjl Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 First day it ever came out..i got guthans helm, then never got another item, but i've only done 30-40 runs since then. I usually do 2-3 runs, get mad, and give up.

chenw Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Lately my barrow runs seem extremely strange. If i dont get 3 itens in 10 runs, i get nothing for at least 30 :-s 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Mc_comix_yo Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Well, after I got a Guthan Helm, Verac Skirt, Guthan Spear, and Torag Legs in 3 runs (And used up all my luck for... well, ever.), I've been on a 20 or 30 something dry spell, but I haven't really been barrowing anymore.

JJG Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm on about ~110 at the moment, got bored now wasting 3000 bloods at cw's, hopefully once they've been used, my luck will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfever Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I agree with Reb. 350 seems way out there... If you consider the average to be one item in twenty runs then the probability of going 350 runs without an item is about 1 in 3.6 million. :) Back to the original question, I haven't done any barrowing just yet but this thread sure is making me think twice about it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For long term money making maybe, but you should always try all minigames see if you like them (whisper in ear : you havent played Trouble brewing yet chen!). After all, you play the game to play right? I enjoy barrows so much that I can stay there for weeks (even tolerating the walk from Ecto to Barrows). Try it. And once you get good at it, you are guarenteed to make money every trip, even if it is just runes. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Nah, I was only joking chenw, Barrows is just like anything else in RS I reckon: you play it long enough and you'll get the rewards. That's the thing with probability based stuff, all these 30, 40, 50 dry runs will balance out over time with the day you get two items in five runs or even in the same chest. Besides short term cash isn't an issue for me really, I never had much money and if my past history is anything to go by I'd probably keep most of the barrows drops I got anyway. Personally I think the (practically) free mage xp is the biggest attraction of the barrows to me. I have plenty of pray pots (I never sold any and I never use them so I have a lot) so all I'm spending is a few hundred k on super restores.
