The Barrows guide by Barbari91

>Last Edit by Twilight Ray on 6.3.-06 05:36 PM GMT-5<

This is just ONE style, so please do NOT suggest adding stuff from other styles, you may try them out yourself.

Just a little note: I am level 101, so it's pretty easy for me, I've seen level 80's do it well and such

Requirements:

Items

Prayer/Super restore potions (around 100 should do for some time)
Spade
lobsters
arrows (mith and up, I personally use addy),
Mage equipment (see my wearings in pictures(mystic robes do good too, but this is what I wear), God cape HIGHLY recommended)
Slayer's staff (55 slayer and 55 magic - for Magic Dart spell).
Runes (shown in inventory picture)

Skills

At least 50 ranged to wield magic shortbow (70 recommended)
At least 43 prayer,
High prayer HIGHLY recommended.(I have 62.)

Quests

Shades of Mort'ton done (for general store and serum 207's, which is the fastest way.),

Suggested items

The holy wrench from the Rum Deal quest. Having the wrench in your inventory boosts the amount of prayer restored per prayer potion dose.

Sidenotes about requirements: Serum 207's are made from tarromin herb and ashes during the Shades of Mort'ton quest (can be made afterwards too).
Serum 207 can be made to permanent Serum 207 by using the serum on the fire altar in the Mort'ton temple

The inventory (I have super restores since I had a few in bank):



What I wear (Mage stuff may vary, this is what I use though.)



Other people's inventory and equipment:



Just run through the swamps to the Barrows area.



The colours indicate the Brother in the crypt.

The brothers.

Meleers:
Dharok
Guthan
Verac
Torag

Mage:
Ahrim

Ranger:
Karil

Due to today's update (22.11.05), the last brother now WILL appear at the chest when you OPEN it! Only when OPENING, NOT searching, the last brother may still appear when opening doors, so keep your guard up!

I use protect prayers on them ALL, some don't, but I think it's a waste to not to use your advantages.

In some of the tunnel rooms, you might be able to corner the brothers, DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT IF YOU CAN'T FIND ONE STRAIGHT AWAY! YOU CAN'T CORNER THEM INBETWEEN DOORS (in the small spaces)

I do them in a specific order, which is this:
Ahrim
Dharok
Guthan
Karil
Torag
Verac

SIDENOTES ABOUT BROTHERS: Dharok hits upto 58, so keep your protect from melee on ALL THE TIME. Also Karil is VERY dangerous, constant 20's, so remember to protect!

DRINK A DOSE OF PRAYER/SUPER RESTORE POTION WHEN YOU KILL A BROTHER, OR IF YOUR PRAYER FALLS UNDER 15!

When I find the tunnel, and haven't killed all Brothers, I skip the tunnel and kill the rest.
After killing them all (except the one in tunnels), I go to the tunnel crypt and go down.
I suggest to run straight away to the chest, as the last brother WILL appear when OPENING the chest (he may appear when going through doors, too).



If I don't get an item, I'll just run back to ladder and go up, restock in pots/food in Mort'ton general store (use serum 207 on Razmire Keelgan to access, or then again, you could get permanent serum 207 by using a serum 207 on the fire altar in the temple when it's built [on server 2 it's usually being built]).
And repeat, until I get an item, then I'll tele out.

I drink 2 doses of pot after every time I come up from tunnels. When I get an item I tele out and recharge pray at Varrock

Me and my friend tested out that this method is 2x faster than the Ectophial one, we both did it as fast as we could.

Happy barrowing!

Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken on some point. (But do NOT post about using other methods, this is just ONE, like said above.)

Pretty good guide, if your going to be selling and buying back pots then I recomend that you get the permanent serum and use it on the general store shopkeeper.

Yes, but I really can't be bothered to do it, can't find anyone to build it with. (yes, not even serv 2). Also Tarromins are better xp when made to serums than to strength potions.

With this method I managed to get in one day (not same trip though ):
Full Guthan
Ahrim's staff
Torag helm
2x Dharok axe
Verac's brassard

This guide is okay. There are room for improvements though. Mind changing the layout of your text? Add some underlinings, bold words, etc. If you put a style before putting this guide up, it might've been perfect.

Okay, I find very many flaws in your guide. Firstly, let's assume for the sake of arguement that one has already done Shades of Mort'ton. Why would we need Serum 207?

The arrows are too many of too weak a metal. Bring aroun 175-200 rune arrows and you'll live.

Too many runes. I find it easy to get away with 100-200 casts of Slayer Dart and around 50 casts of Snare.

Where's your green vial? Why not use the Ectophial instead of teleport runes to save both runes AND inventory space?

You need an actual mage outfit and not Verac's brassard. It's good but what's the point of using it whilst you're casting spells?

It's utterly pointless to use the noting trick in Mort'ton. Why? By the time you get everything done you'll want to bank.

If I get a chance to I'll post a picture that I used for months when it came out, which served me well to get Dharok.

Nice guide man, I got my own style


This way u dont need serum noted in ur inventory, when u give the guy a pernament cure.
For the permanent cure, you need 20% sanctity and then you must use serum 207 on the sacred flame then give it to the people as serum 207(p). It is recommended to use this on Razmire so that you have ready access to his Stores in the future.

Still, you might not get enough runes from the chest. Not unless you're killing crypt monsters. Any ideas of how many to get death runes?

You'll be surprised that normal armour still works quite well. I've iced my way through before, with full rune.

Guide has been improved a bit. Added details of today's update and made some things highlighted.

May I add a little bit more to your guide?

In other...forums, I read about corners which would trap the brother, allowing you to heal before engaging again. I've tried it and find it highly useful, reducing the need of Prayer Potions (except on Karil). Apparently, only two of the four corners will trap the brother. For Ahrims, just run to the closest side you can reach.

At 71 Defence, I find that ~15 Lobsters is enough to kill all the brothers, some crypt monsters and reach the chest. 15 Lobsters is the about half the cost of a Prayer Potion.

I used spells with full Rune (when I'm out of Prayer) and it still works well.

However, for every trip, you need to recharge your Prayer to face Dharok. Other than that, the Barrow brothers (definitely not Karil) might be weaker than you think.
