Am I doing Barrows all wrong?

Featured Replies

I've done a bajillion Barrow's runs, and managed to snag Verac's Plateskirt and just recently his Brassard. But I'm wondering if I'm going about it the wrong way. Some general stats:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Armoured Brothers

 

 

 

Farseer Helm

 

 

 

Blue Mystic Top/Bottom/Boots

 

 

 

Gloves from Culimancer's (sp?) chest

 

 

 

Saradomin cape

 

 

 

Glory amulet

 

 

 

Ring of Life

 

 

 

Holy prayer book

 

 

 

Air battlestaff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the Archer and Mage Brother

 

 

 

Archer's Helm

 

 

 

Red dragon chest/legs

 

 

 

Gloves from Culimancer's (sp?) chest

 

 

 

Saradomin Cape

 

 

 

Glory Amulet

 

 

 

Ring of Life

 

 

 

Holy prayer book

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karil - DDS for the special, and whip for normal

 

 

 

Ahrim - Magic shortbow with Mithril arrows

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spells - I used to do Iban blasts but having to recharge the blasted thing wasn't worth it. I've switched to Fire Wave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inventory - Ectophial, spade, holy wrench, druid pouch to protect food from Ghasts, eight potatos with sweetcorn and tuna for food, and roughly eight prayer potions (4 doses).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always manage all right, I have never died there; but I don't want to break my bank waiting for a Barrow's drop.

I swear some of you people would think it was a fair update if we had a lever you could pull which gave you 99 all stats and any item you liked. ----- Paul Gower; Runescape Senior Content Designer

I use only about two four-dose potions. The rest are insurance. ANd my signature is vastly outdated.

If I knew how to link the Tip.it Barrows guide I would post it for you. Look under Mini Games on the main Tip.it page. It has very good information on Barrowing for different leveled players and includes inventory and gear suggestions as well as strategies for killing the brothers and navigating the tunnel to the chest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well worth a read. :)

Even the player made guides forum here has some pretty good guides using different tactics (i.e. little to no prayer pots, with/without guthans, etc.).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But like Mr Cheeses said, slayer dart for rune efficiency (usually get all the runes you use up back). Not sure what your current levels are, but raise your construction to make a kharyll(sp) portal (if you don't already have one). And make home tele-tabs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 full prayer pots each run is a bit much. Switch to your best melee armor (with the melee brothers low magic def, you'll still hit them a lot) and try not praying on torag and guthan. That should save a few doses there. best range armor for ahrim and no prayer on him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, make sure you're using safe spots in the tunnels, if you're tunnel brother is a melee brother, then you won't have to worry about prayer there either.

If Jagex ever made a perfect update, there would be players complaining about nothing to complain about.
