something seriously strange with barrows....

Ok here we go, i've done barrows a fair few times and its always gone fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use the method of slayer darting the melee and ranging karil - a fairly standard method yes? Unfortunelty due to a combination of lag and stupidity i died to verac a few days back; today was my first trip back...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don my full rune, whack on the slayer staff to auto cast like always dig to verac and begin...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I splash, everytime, every single cast is a splash, usually with my method it only takes 10ish casts to kill verac but i couldnt even hit after 20 casts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then try on torag, same thing happens, i really cant work it out - after tryin it with mystic i hit about the same, but torag and guthan will pull me apart without prayer. Whats going on #-o

It's just a combination of your awful magic level and bad luck.

Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

remeber that bit in leesters barrows guide? the "any magic level is sufficient, even if you think you have too low magic for barrows you can do it" bit?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also ive been doing it since i had 55 mage for magic dart and this is the first time its ever happened

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can bad luck really be that bad? 20+ casts on torag without a single hit :-s maybe im being silly..

They pest controlled some magic levels?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lol. Saw Dharok down there smacking on some spinners. Said Hi. He said, "Do I know you?" Dang elitists!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just some freaky bad luck. Go back again like normal, and it should go just like it usually does.

A circus in Runescape?? Oh my.

woah leesters on my thread <3: (if dh had actually seen you without prayer he probs woulda chopped you as revenge for all those times you've killed him but still :D )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just went back as you said, still difficult but more doable, probably just me noticing it more after death in retrospect still went through almost 100 deaths on just the 3 non lethal melee bros :-k ill put it down too bad luck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a happier note the chest contained a shiny half key and Dharocks helm so its all good \:D/

You probably wore something with less mage bonus or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Contrary to belief, magic bonus DOES affect magic dart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But with the Barrows nooby magic levels, you won't notice, unless your magic levels are nooby also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But maybe they PC'd some levels (ie, jagex gave them some magic levels to make them harder)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't know myself, because I use black salamander on those dudes now. Totally rocks down there, and i get to keep the runes.

whilst on the topic of the black salamanders what does the average pack look like when using it? Is it worth getting the hunting levels (if there are any)?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry to continue to be a leech on the old knowledge there :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you still come on rs id feel priveledged (sp?) to watch said method in action (a long shot but it can't hurt to try eh :) )

i've also noticed this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really couldn't hit anymore at karils... and also the others were "hard" to hit (still fairly easy but about half the attacks splash these days, and I have a magic lvl of 66)..

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.
