Talk:Barrows

Man just go to runescape.com click on explorer knowledge database and search for barrows. This guide right here sets you up for death.
 * How about you help make it better, eh? Using that info from the KB, improve this article.--Richard 01:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Kill count
Just so y'all know, I gots a message in my inbox from some golden moddy-type bloke sayings that the killsies don't affect your chest reward. :) JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  13:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I did quite a few with a KC of 6 (just the brothers) and got the same as normal (crap). JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 11:11, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

a kc of 6 will give u the max chance of barrows item (unles u kill 7 bros (twinned by the door spawn) even more chance, but a kc of around 12 at least is needed for bloods and bolt racks or u just won't get them. Bob2006ty 13:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Done
I finally finished the page, check it pplz for spelling etc and make adjustments etc. Bob2006ty

senseless abuse
217.42.221.120 If you have an issue with the barrows article please post it on the discussion page, thankyou.

or alternatively why not improve it if the article "sucks", at least We took the time to bother to write something moderately useful, if there are better guides in your opinion why not use them to improve the existing one? (do not copy them as this would be a copyright breach) at least this article is a step in the right direction

my name when im logged on is bob2006ty if u wish to talk please post on my discussion page or this one

Improvement is needed
If you are trying to improve this guide, please feel free to message me (username's Ssj_metroid) if you have anything to add. I have nearly 500 trips below my belt and have gotten a little over 30 barrows items. Please make sure to include accurate information. We don't want anybody to be sent to their death sentence!

ya I agree, I created it and am always trying to improve it using imformation from prominent sites, your lucky lol I have done about 600 trips in my time but have only ever got 28 items and they were mostly rubbish like ahrim's staff and torags hams, but I enjoy the barrows all the same it is my favourite. Your last message was a bit confusing why are you asking players to contact you if they wish to expand the guide?

Ranged
On the strategy for doing the barrows without any prayer potions it gives the suggested stats for attack strength defence prayer and magic. However your supposed to use ranged against ahrim. So you guys left out the recommended ranged level for the strategy. Should I go ahead and put in 70, 80 or what? Ice 04:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If your combat level is high enough (>95) you can melee ahrim easely, but you should have a high range (>= 70) to be able to wear a black d'hide (high magic defense). Anyway, using range is very powerful against ahrim, even with a level of 60 (red d'hide, magic shortbow, rune arrows,...). I did it a couple of time before reaching level 70, which is much much better. With red d'hide, you will be hit often, that's why i recommend prayer...Urssaff 08:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

should i put 60, 70 or 80 for ranging ahrim without prayer pots? Ice 19:50, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think 70 is the minimum, this way you will be able to wear black d'hide, it will avoid most of ahrim's spells. 23:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

so 70 it is? Ice 01:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, 70 range is enough to kill Ahrim, although I still suggest higher.

Well, the question is, is 70 enough to kill ahrim fast enough so that you dont use any prayer pots?
 * I've done a lot of run without using p pot with 70 range, but i ate a lot of food ! If i want to spare p pot, i bring a lot of food (6-10) and drink a p pot every 4-8 runs. If i want to make 3 run on a trip, i bring a p pot by run and less food...euuuuhhh, in fact i don't know the range and magic level where you won't be hit by ahrim, i think that both level are important Urssaff 08:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I started running without prayer potions at around combat level 98, range at 74 I believe and magic was at 83. Back then, I used about 3-5 food when I went to fight Ahrim. Now, I'm 82 range and 89 mage and I barely use food at all! So it's safe to believe that at 85 mage and about 75 range that you would use minimal food against Ahrim. Ssj metroid 13:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay then, Iam putting 70-75 ranged, it says 80 mage is enough so I wont change that. if anyone would like to change it go ahead. Ice 17:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Also about how many hitpoints should you have to do it without pots?
 * if you have 75 range, 80 mage and combat 98 i guess that you will have enough hp ! ;) 22:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

so put about 80 hitpoints? and 75 ranged? Ice 02:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I went with 78 hp and 53 range =| Christine Talk 02:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Our work so far..
...has been incredible. We really improved this guide a lot. The pictures of the maze and the puzzles on each door is very, very useful, as the tunnels are where I got most of my loot =P. However, we are missing one puzzle, the one with the large square divided into four smaller squares I believe. Anyways, kudos to all that contributed to this guide! =)Ssj metroid 14:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
