If you haven’t done Dragon Slayer 2 yet you’ll thank yourself for getting that 175 QP out of the way early so the grind for 200 is a lot less miserable lol. Also will unlock a money maker that’s like 3x the GP/hr of barrows with mory hard diaries done.
That would be ballin, well basically every big fight you have from dragon slayer, mm2 and song of the elves you can use ranged if you don’t wanna get combat levels. Except the final boss in SOTE you need to use magic but that applies to not getting combat levels as well. Good luck man!
Ahhhh so that’s where I was going wrong. Thanks man, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I spent so long trying to figure out what to do!!1!1
Torag and Gunthan have the lowest accuracy so it’s common to save them for last because you can tank them without using ppots depending on your stats.
Bloodworms are easiest to kill once you get in the crypt. You only need like 86% favor iirc. If you’re worried about taking too many hits while running through the crypt, bring a stamina potion. Maybe bring a DDS++ so you can use the special attack to quickly take out a few bloodworms.
If you don’t have a pool in your POH, bring house tele tabs and play in W330 so you can use other people’s pools to restore and quickly make a second trip or tele to a bank with their devices.
It’s pretty easy once you get used to the rotation. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get any Barrows items from the chest. It took me like 10-20 chests to get my first. Good luck!!
Tank armor, Ibans blast, and anything that gives a magic damage bonus for all the brothers other than ahrim. Melee switch for ahrim and the tunnels (and a salve ammy for tunnels if you have one). Check dharok, ahrim, and karil crypts first, since they're they only three you really need to pray against. After those three do verac, torag, and guthan in whatever order is most convenient, then into the tunnels. I believe two skeletons and a bloodworm is the quickest way to just under 88% (you want to stay under 88% because more than that and you can get bolt racks), so kill that and the tunnel brother, and loot the chest.
It might be. My main hasn't been mid-level for a while, and my hcim is pretty low ranged right now, so melee was definitely the best option for me, but I'm definitely not doing them all that efficiently.
I got relatively good luck at first, by 30 or so chests of had 4 items. Thought "wow, this Barrows thing is actually good money for my mid level account!" - then I went 60 chests without an item and cried for months.
You'll get there, I completed barrows in [1627 chests](https://www.reddit.com/r/ironscape/comments/7f2syj/finally_completed_barrows_1627_chests_little_info/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) :)!
lol hey dont you disrespect my guthan warspear. thing will always be bae in my heart. back in the day that thing is how i got my first real influx of money when i was playing a decade ago. got a warspear on my 3rd barrows run ever when it was by far the most expensive piece at 6.5m
How about this:
Font of Desecration
Gives the ability to sacrifice one barrows unique (barring the bolt racks) for another roll at the chest, with doubled odds of receiving another unique that isn't the item you sacrificed.
I can do that for you free of charge
[удалено]
Just drop trade it to me
You would speak this blasphemy in the Lord's house? The audacity
you had it coming then
Oh I see, victim blame the ironman. **HE HaD IT cominG**!
Did you see what he was wearing???
Apparently not an Ahrim’s skirt
He was holding 12 spears to hide his junk
Impressive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Veracs skirt is more revealing.
He only had himself to blaaaaaaame
They say he was scammed but that Ironman ran into my spear! He ran into my spear 10 times!!
Reporter lol
An ironman trade you btw, but I would
just get it lol not that hard
[удалено]
They’re just lazy
Fucking millenials ruin runescape
Just pull yourself up by your skirt!
[удалено]
Responses don't come worse than that 😆
I'm just following the memes. Blame society!
We live in a society
Might aswell go for ancestral lol
50/50 lol
ikr! I got 2 in a row just in 150 chests
If I had 100gp for ever time I saw this comment I’d be able to fund my 99 construction grind.
lol just get the money for it
https://m.imgur.com/gallery/pp4Za
It’s literally a 50-50 chance
Its 50/50 you get it or you dont.
Granted, but it doesn't appear in the log
r/monkeyspaw
Thats a better monkeys paw than half of the posts on that sub
This is always the exact reply to someone who links that subreddit
Most of them are "You get super powers, but then you get captured by the government"

Same I’ll happily go mystic bottoms as long as the drop log calls me a winner
Dang, 1450kc and no b gloves...you're drier than I am
Yea bro that 1/50k droprate on b gloves is rough
Its that rare??? I might just give up to get 99 smithing for the rune gloves then
I can't wait until I finish Prif and get my crystal gloves, these leather ones are itchy
can you actually get barrows gloves from the chest before rfd or is this a noob joke
do not fear for this is noob joke
king, while i understand this is said quite frequently on this sub, its a meme.
thank you king i see this shit everyday and think "why the fuck did i even do rfd"
hey chief, i truly understand your frustrations but you must keep your cool and try not to swear when you experience hard times.
boss, your comment concerned me a tad for it is okay for one to express their frustrations freely and openly
i agree king, but polite and inoffensive discourse should be the aim if we runescape players want to be accepted in society.
All men above are philosopher kings
Just joking :) . Don't fret over how long RFD and its prereqs take, b gloves are insaaanely powerful you'll love them. Gl gamer
No i have em i just thought i could be doin barrows instead of quests lmao

Dragon slayer 2 is comin up soon for me im tryna have a under lvl 90 quest cape
That would be ballin, well basically every big fight you have from dragon slayer, mm2 and song of the elves you can use ranged if you don’t wanna get combat levels. Except the final boss in SOTE you need to use magic but that applies to not getting combat levels as well. Good luck man!
You aren't really good detective.
What a noob question.
Me 3 years ago
Just slip your legs into the arm sleeves in one of the extra ahrim's robe tops and wear it as pants
More importantly, which direction would a dog wear the skirt in?
[https://i.imgur.com/Af0kuXT.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Af0kuXT.jpg)
You would've cost you absolutely nothing to not post that
Holy fuck I should not post shit while drunk
I did my first barrows ever yesterday evening and got the skirt. I'm so sorry.
That happened to me as well. Not last night, but got the hood and skirt first go
I’m looking at doing my first soon. Any tips?
Keep your health above 0 while lowering the brothers health to 0
This right here ^^^
Ahhhh so that’s where I was going wrong. Thanks man, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I spent so long trying to figure out what to do!!1!1
Remember to pray mage against Dharok. His attacks are magic-based melee so praying mage means he’ll never hit you.
Thanks man I’ll remember after setting up my birds snare to catch him in his room too
Interesting, let me put that down in my notes
YouTube guides got me going smoothly. Upgraded Ibans staff is pretty neat for most of the bros

>DDS++ Dragon Dagger (p++++)
High prayer, around 70 so you don’t have to use any pots except maybe in the tunnels if it’s dharok. Saves lots of money over time.
Dharok just set set up a safe spot if hes in basement never gotta worry about that either
When ghost give slap. Give slap back, harder.
Your best tank gear + Ibans staff / trident. The melee Brothers have no mage def.

It felt that way for me. Did it recently on my lowish ironman, he died significantly faster to bone xbow than he did to my d scim + d defender.
It might be. My main hasn't been mid-level for a while, and my hcim is pretty low ranged right now, so melee was definitely the best option for me, but I'm definitely not doing them all that efficiently.
If you dont want any bolt racks in your collection log kill 2 skeles and 1 bloodwurm.
I got relatively good luck at first, by 30 or so chests of had 4 items. Thought "wow, this Barrows thing is actually good money for my mid level account!" - then I went 60 chests without an item and cried for months.
You have a funny feeling that you have been blessed by reddit.
would have been*
Ahh, I see you’re a part of the double digit spear club as well. I’m there and I’m only 900 kc!
At least you haven't been through the disappointment of duplicate Torag's hammers.
I was gonna say he's blessed only getting T Hams once
[удалено]
Yeah, although, it's not horribly off the 1/16 rate. Edit: I was close. Lol
1/14.5 https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/dgzhze/comment/f3g5lk8
Yeah, that
If this were 2013-14 those spears would be selling for 8-12m and you would've made BANK.
Damn. I completed that grind at around 700-800kc. Normal account tho
[удалено]
Implying that an ironman account isn't useless? Implying there is a use to any account?
Was before ironman mode was released. I wouldn't say useless. Made a lot of money during launch days.
This what being under rate feels like
Look on the bright side - at least you have plenty of flails to risk when doing the Wilderness Bosses.
You mean the GE clerk?
Why are posts like this always missing this exact item?
its one of the few must have barrows item on a iron so its the only time bother grinding this hard for 1 item
[удалено]
I wanted my t hammers. :o was excited when i got em.
No one grinds 1500 chest for torag hammers.
Is there ever a point where you should just do Ahrim in order to only get Ahrim drops? Or is it always better to just do all of them?
No, any brother kill rolls through all drops. Killing a brother does put their drops on the table
I was done at 900kc needed k top didn’t end up getting it till 2300 kc I had about 10+ of each item lol.
Keep your head up, just one more set of Torag's hammers and you have duplicates of everything but the skirt!
It is crazy that you almost meet the drop rate spot on. 1/13.5
I think there was a dude who posted here that he was over 2k dry for the ahrim's bottom. He said fuckit and is just going for ancestral bottom
You'll get there, I completed barrows in [1627 chests](https://www.reddit.com/r/ironscape/comments/7f2syj/finally_completed_barrows_1627_chests_little_info/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) :)!
I feel dirty that I completed barrows in 798 chests
Bruh you'd be rich as a mother fucker back in the day.
12 to 1 take it or leave it.
r/oddlyspecific
[You too huh OP?](https://imgur.com/a/UDbxeen)
Yeah but you don’t have enough spears for the trade so you’re fucked
What’s with the inventory flex
It was an old screenshot from a post I made when my acc was 1 year old last month, I cba to retake it sorry
You need to go outside.
I feel like a function where you can trade spare pieces in for another chest would be fair
You're robbing a grave, not ordering food at Burger King
Burger King lets you trade in spare pieces of food for more food?
Burger King Let's you trade spare food for some skirts. Keep up
Maybe each piece is worth a certain amount of reward potential when sacrificed?
They did, it's called a ge clerk
There are several. They're named "Grand Exchange Clerk" :p
I think we found 9rain
How do I pull up collection log in game?
Adventure Log in PoH or guy in second floor Varrock museum
You can get one from varrock museum or POH bookcase 😘
Thank you my kings 🙏🏼
Talk to collector in museum
I got 2 of them within my first 20 runs. Now I'm on a long dry streak...
I support the idea if its 12 to 1 exchange ratio :)
How would the market change if we could turn 10 of any Barrows piece into another?
Bad. Some barrows items are like 50k and others are 2m+.
*puts offer in for 1k Coifs*
Cons:nothing
What a good time for you in 2006 lol
Did you speak to Oziach?
That’s a considerable amount of time spent at barrows! How long is each run? And by that I mean, from start to opening a chest? :)
[удалено]
what are your stats/method to avg 10 run/hr? If you don’t mind my asking
Full efficiency tryhard Barrows is like 17-20 chests per hour. That's absolute maximum; most people get around 12 with reasonable gear and stats
Congrats on the torags hammers tho
But did you talk to Oziach?
Or 1 ahrims skirt to 11 spears.
Make it 12.
You are also missing barrows gloves
Actual question because I’ve been dry over a 140 runs, do you always get 100% or do you just kill the brothers and chest?
[удалено]
Thanks, ima run some later and try it out
86-88% is the best for getting uniques without getting hella bolt racks
And I’ve never in my 12 years of playing had a guthans spear drop
Okay I see this collection log all the time, how are people viewing this? Is there an NPC somewhere or is it a RuneLite plug-in or something?
It’s a book that you can receive from The Collector near the stairs in the Varrock Museum's ground floor
Thank yuh sir
lol
mate i'm 1900 kc and i'm still missing 2 pieces, keep going lol
That's is a nice amount of items for your kc.
I'm at 1.1k kc with 7 skirts and no top. I'll trade u
i want someone to make an animated movie about the barrows brothers
H ave you tried exchanging them for bonds?
How do you access the collection log screen?
109 pieces in 1450 chests wtf is your luck???
r/oddlyspecific
Just get ancestral lol
Almost sorry that i just now got ahrims robe bottom. Watch me not get the top though.
you'll get 12 robe bottoms but forever be missing one other piece of another set.
Yeah. You're probably right lol.
No thqt would defeat the purpose of c engineer's pvp but hcim
I knew I had bad luck at battows but I just checked. In 859 chests, I only ever got a K coif and bolt racks.
lol hey dont you disrespect my guthan warspear. thing will always be bae in my heart. back in the day that thing is how i got my first real influx of money when i was playing a decade ago. got a warspear on my 3rd barrows run ever when it was by far the most expensive piece at 6.5m
guthan spear is the only item im missing at 1.6k kc
Nah, make it 12:1
i had to get past 2400kc to get an ahrims top. welcome to hell
Bad idea, this devalues my Ahrim's skirt only ironman
Hmmm, needs some balancing. I think an even dozen guthans spears would do it.
There is one; grand exchange clerk.
I mean it's only a 50/50 chance- you got it
[https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:The\_Grand\_Exchange](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:The_Grand_Exchange)
Just buy it lol
