Okay, for this guide I will show you guys how I do barrows, and then as time goes on I will add various other methods that I know.
NOTE: Maps will be at the bottom portion of this guide. If you're on a limited download connection, by now very few of the pictures have loaded, you might want to stop the page loading, and read the text, I will go through and list the items when i have the time for these users. As i plan on having Quite a few images on here.
Currently Ive been doing barrows on various accounts for well over two years. And I've never looked back on the money its made me, barrows in my opinion is well worth the time. Anyway, enough about me, lets get started with the actual guide.
Quests.
(Req - Priest in peril)
And I'm pretty sure you need to have started Nature spirit. I will look into this.
Quests you may find useful. (I reccomend you do them, saves loads of time)
Ghosts ahoy - Gives you the ectophial. Useful for banking.
In search of the myreque
-HIGHLY RECCOMENDED- - Faster route to barrows, Less food wasted compared to running through the swamp.
Desert Treasure - Canifis teleport. Also gives you the ability to put Canifis portals in your house if you have the Req'd Con level. This is required for the Burst/blitz/barrage method. Although I don't reccomend the method, i'll add it to this guide later on.
In aid of the myreque - Just opens up a bank at Burgh De'rott (Correct me if i spelt that wrong.)
Recipie for disaster - Just gives you the various gloves ranging from Leather - Barrows. The higher the better, but not required.
Mage arena Minigame - Required if you want to use the god spells. The mage bonus also helps with the Ancients method.
And Horror From The Deep - Just gives access to the god books. I reccomend this for EVERYBODY. And get the guthix book, easier to fill than the zamorak book.
If you can think of ANY quests that may need to be added onto this guide, simply tell me, and i'll find out why when i read the post.
Reccomended levels for this guide:
70 attack
70 Strength
70 Defence
70 Range
60 mage
70 HP
43 Prayer (A MUST)
55 Slayer -Slayer dart method, HIGHLY RECOMMEND-
Note: These are recommended levels, you can do it with lower levels, but it will just be a little harder. And remember, Higher is better.
Okay, now were going to get into the tactics of doing barrows, covering all of the combat skills.
Tactics: Melee
First Timer setup:
Please note: I will do a video on all the setups I show you except ancients.
basically the inventory is the same as guthans *look down*
But you have 2-4 more prayer potions, pray on all brothers, And no spear.
This method you can get two chests in possibly, but for a first time i would only do one chest, and then bank, untill you're used to it. And then you can decide what method you want to try, alter the number of prayer potions you take, and whatnot.
Okay for melee, their are a few ways to do this. This method I will now bring up, is Guthans.
Guthans
Pros: Allows you to use less food, and do more then one - two chests a run
Can heal mid-Fight if you get low on food and/or prayer potions.
A decent defence bonus for defeting Torag and Guthan.
Healing effect lets you take less food, and more prayer potions for more runs.
Cons: Without prayer, you will be owned by ahrim.
As with all methods, No prayer, means Dharok will Rape you. Horribly.
The method: Guthans.
Now, with guthans, I do
NOT reccomend using the spear all the time. But having it in your inventory is essental for the guthans method. I would either have, an Abyssal Whip, or Dragon Scimitar as your main weapon.
My typical setup for guthan would be:
Just add a ROL to you'
re ring slot if its your first time, and you're good to go. And i do NOT reccomend this for your first time.
Basically you pray on all of the brothers except for Verac, Torag, and Guthan with this method. And heal in the tunnels. Be sure to start with Dharok first, that way you have less chance of the drain effect making you run out of prayer.
Slayer Dart Method -Best method Imo-
Okay guys, heres the method i prefer, and would recommend to anybody with 55 slayer, and the reqd magic level for Slayer Dart.
Basically you cast slayer dart on all the brothers except ahrim, you range or melee him. I personally range him. Heres the gear:
Heres a few maps for you guys.
How to get there using The Myreque route:
Running through the swamps -Dont reccomend-
And heres the little key for you guys.
The green route, is where the boatie takes you from the hallows.
KEY:
Green: Dharok
Purple: Verac
Red:Ahrim
Black:Torag
White:Karil
Blue: Guthan
