Barrows theory...

Featured Replies

I've just started doing barrows, and i noticed a trend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I finish all 6 brothers in one go, it's really rare to get an item for me.

 

 

 

Then, once, I forgot to bring a p pot and only ended up killing 4 brothers, making me go back to varroc to get another p pot for the last 2. Bam! I got a torags helm from the chest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, the next time i did barrows, i didn't bring enough death runes...forgot to restock #-o , so i only killed 3 brothers that time. When i went and restocked, then game back, i ended up getting a guthans skirt! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this just a coincidence, or maybe it's possible that when you make multiple trips, you have a better chance for an item?

that would be plain unfair, cuz the idiots (sorry) get more that way

fine, happy now?

Okay, you have a theory. Now go do 1000 runs of 6 brothers and 1000 runs of splitting the brothers up. Hopefully you will see a trend with this very small amount of data.

Wait wait wait... 1,000 runs in 20 days? BULL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its just a coincidence, everything in the chest (item wise) is random. I've done 1,650+ runs so I can be sure of it.

The items are random and you can't change that. :?

Agreed. 2 runs really isn't enough to support a theory.

hmm

 

 

 

ok

 

 

 

it was just a guess of mine...since it was odd i got the items in a row just when i started doing barrows

It is unlikely JagEx would do that because then the lower levels would have an advantage.

Don't complain :wink:

It's just a stupid thoery, if you actually have to go to varrock to bank you really shoulden't be doing barrows in the 1st place, you just got lucky, on my 1st item i got a spear, run right after it i got a k skirt, it's all just luck.

Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....

now thats a bit uncalled for. its not a stupid theory, its just untested. its probably not true, but it isnt stupid. and he can go barrowing even if he hasnt done In Aid Of The Myreque. Its not for you to say who should and shouldnt go :|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the theory, i don't think it's true, why would multiple trips make it better?

1,000 runs? Try 1,000 Barrows items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd like for once for me to be proven wrong when I think that a title stating "Barrows theory" is going to contain a total bull [cabbage] random hypothesis based on less than 10 runs of data.

Again its totally based on luck. I have done 30+ runs (know thats not that much) i and i have not gotten one barrows item. I have gotten a d med and a half key thats all.

I think it was luck. Try doing multiple runs (i.e. 50+) and see what happens. I'd be interested to know.

perfect grammar is one thing, typing like a drugged monkey and enjoying it is another

AMEN!

Relatively, 50 runs really isn't any better than his amount of data.

That is like sayign that you have more of a chance of getting a rare drop from killing 3 monsters than killing 6 monsters.

tbh i think it could just be a coincidence
