Hey guys. This is going to be a pro guide to barrows. I'm assuming you already know the basics, and if you don't, I suggest reading this (http://www.worldscapeblitz.com/blitz/smf/index.php/topic,11005.0.html) first. This guide won't tell you how to get there and my steps won't just be: 'kill the brothers' because I think that's a bit obvious. This is only a melee guide though, because I have yet to do this with mage to see how effective it is, but I'll post a mage guide in this topic as soon as I can.
First I'm going to talk about inventory/bank/equipment setup.
For inventory, I recommend something like this:
(http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz142/PhoToeBuckAwt69/stuff.png)
The DDS can be any spec'ing weapon that you want. I prefer this because it has a nice special and you can use it 4 times. I also have nothing better. The spade, well that's obvious. You should use one dose of each potion per go. You can have more food than that if you want, but I like to have empty inventory space for drops.
For equipment, I recommend something like this:
(http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz142/PhoToeBuckAwt69/armor.png)
The neitiznot can be a berserker helm if you can't afford one, the amulet of strength could also be an amulet of fury or berserker necklace to increase your attack bonuses. I recommend a fire cape over skillcapes just because of the +4 strength that it gives. Keris could be replaced with a whip. I wouldn't recommend using a godsword as your primary weapon because they're slow. Fighter torso could be replaced with any barrows body or bandos if you have that. The rune defender could also be substituted with an obby shield. Dragon boots could be replaced with rune boots. You kinda need barrows gloves, but I guess dragon or something could work too. You don't really need the berserker ring, but if you have one, definitely use it.
Another thing you could do is wear ahrims or keep it in your inventory so when you fight ahrim you won't have to pray mage.*
EDIT: I just found out that using ahrims doesn't really work for protecting against ahrim's magic attacks. I was told by 1 800 owned or brianc that armadyl is good for ahrim, so I'll try that in the future and let you know how it works. That means I might also change my equipment setup recommendation.
So in your bank, just make sure you have plenty of food you can use and potions.
What to do before each go:
- Drink a dose of potions
- For quick prayer restore, put these coords in your ignore list and go to them: 3244, 3208
- Get some more food and bank your reward if it was any good
How I recommend doing it
- Go in a circle around barrows, then go in the middle one last.
- Spec the guys as often as you can.
- Turn on strength prayer ONLY each time you enter a crypt.
- Protect from magic when fighting ahrim because he's just annoying.. (unless using ahrims or mage armor)
- Rush through them as fast as you can, it makes it more interesting so you'll be less likely to get bored.
- Don't go in expecting to get great rewards your first go, because 99 times out of 100, that won't happen. You'll just be discouraged to be expecting something great then get runes.
I honestly recommend very high attack and strength levels before doing this, just to make it go faster. Like, if you're a level 120 or something, don't try this until you have better stats because you just won't have fun. You'll take a long time to kill the brothers and the crappy rewards won't help boost your morale. There are obviously some exceptions to this, such as being a pure or if you are using magic.

Hahaha thanks. I got them confused with the ones from the token shop. I actually meant dragon boots and just forgot there were bandos boots. And thanks everyone else. I'm going to try to get 15 - 20 docs every day.
Great guide. Well put. :P
Is this just going to be a solo thing or are you eventually going to get people to help you?
Uh I would accept help if people wanted to lol. It would really help speed up the process.

This is his own personal documentation. Ratman's is totally different.
Yeah I can't really just copy someone else's work.
What about this then?

That. I was simply helping....
Well by help I meant record your own and post your own topic and I could link it in this one. I'll add that one you sent me.
Here's my main good ones, I have a personal counter for my stuff..
Trip 4; Kill count; 6, Saradomin sword.
Trip 14; Kill count; 6, Bandos Chest plate.
Trip 25; Kill count; 6 Mage 3a robe bottom.
Thats my main good stuff.
I've found out that kill count doesn't really matter. Unless you have less than 6.
ok so say i get like a 50-60 kill count does this help or does it not matter
no :P

:P You're wasting your time getting more than 6 tbh.

See what happens when I leave for a 3 days? I miss out on a Grave-dug topic. I will let it slide this time seeing as it was relevant and because this guide is to good to lock.
Make sure you re-read the rules and everyone report a post if it's breaking a rule.
J100 & Antythechamp please refrain from posting one word posts. It's against the rules.
Thanks.
I'm not sure if this counts, but I don't mind people posting on my guides as long as it's not something stupid. I'm always open to answer their questions. :P
It's not that it's hurting anyone, It's just the rule. I will let it go if it's an awesome guide like this 8)
