Okay, just wondering about some Barrows stuff. I plan to get some Dragon Maces to use at Barrows when going for my armour goal. I am going to mage, but use the Mace Special first. As for mage - I was wondering, would it be better to use Claws of Guthix or Fire Wave?

fire wave hits 20, if u charge guthix might be 30, but u have to manual cast which can be a pain...and if u lag out u might kill with firewave but ur automatically dead with guthix.

so i would recomend fire wave

Go with firewave out of those two.

Firewave uses less bloods and also auto casts.

However I have heard that magic dart is best for barrows....

Magic Dart being the Slayer Spell? I don't think I can use it yet.

Magic dart does really well but takes 55 slayer to equip the slayer staff to use it. It Only takes death and mind and usually if you dont get barrows items youll get some death or mind so it ends up not costing much.

Fire Wave hits less often, I think because of it's higher level. It's quite dumb really at 99 Mage I should do better with Fire Wave than Magic Dart... But I don't, I remember the magic level for being able to stop failing Fire Wave on RS1 was 85, I believe they should revamp it for 85 to be the level you start doing really awesome with Fire Wave on RS2 too, even though how easy it is to obtain that level now.. This is damage-average wise, of course Fire Wave wins in Experience because of it's higher base experience.

If you care about runes:

• Magic Dart
• Fire Blast/Earth Blast.

Anything lower isn't recommended to save time, unless you have Chaos Gauntlets.

If you don't care about runes:

• Ancient Magicks
• God Spells with Charge (Hits better than Ancient Magicks but has the disadvantage of no "Attack with" option which can be deadly with lag in Barrows.) *
• Fire Wave/Wave Spells.

If you don't care about making Barrows pain in the ass and long inbetween:

• Iban Blast

So here's how I rank spells overall for barrowing:

1. Magic Dart
2. Fire Blast/Earth Blast
3. Fire Bolt/Earth Bolt(With Chaos Gaunts)
4. Ancient Magicks
5. God Spells with Charge *
6. Fire Wave/Earth Wave
7. Iban Blast
8. Chaos Spells without Gaunts(Not recommended)
9. Mind Spells(Not recommended)

* God Spells are great if you have no lag, don't mind casting, and don't care about runes. It makes the trips nearly twice as fast.

I hightly recommend you don't use entangles/snares/binds with Fire Spells/God Spells/Iban Blast, especially God spells/Iban Blast, as Alchemy can be very painful on your inventory.
