Sure you can. Currently I am growing Snapdraggon and fishing Sharks (and building my house as well – And doing Jungle cleanup, never had done that before so wanted to be able to cut Teak and Mahogany in the future so am getting that out of the way). But as soon as I am done, I’ll be back to the Barrows to finish up the last half of the 6 KC 100 and then do a 12 KC 100.

BTW, you don’t have to wait on me. Take a look in the Barrows Rewards Sticky and you’ll see that there are lots of people that have been doing this more than I have, they just don’t have a log up right now. That’s a shame too, I bet the information they could share would be tremendous. But some of those guys are currently active at Barrows, you might PM them and see if they want company as well. Some of them might not, but you never know.

Your right, Torags Hammers should have ‘Hoover’ stamped on the side of each one.

LOL, I don’t know. I have to believe I would get bored after the first 1 million runs. How long would that Take? Hmm, at 15 and over KC it takes 20 minutes plus to do a run, doing 6 KC runs takes less than 15 minutes. Lets say you could do all those runs in 17 minutes on average. 17*9,000,000=153,000,000 minutes – divided by 60 = 2,550,000 hours – divided by 24 = 106,250 days – divided by 365 = just over 291 years of non stop Barrowing.

I’m going to need some help with this one.

[hr]



I’m with you 100%, I like to have enough money so that if a good deal comes along I can jump all over it (By the way, I’ll spend 3-4 million on snaps anytime someone wants to sell them ) but I don’t have any desire to buy things just to let them appreciate in value. Of course now that Construction is out, maybe I should rethink that. It’s going to cost a ton of money and it would be nice to have a Phat around to sell off to pay that Tab.



854 trips done, just 146 to go, and me either!!

[hr]



Don’t know what your level in Slayer is, but just do slayer assignments for a while. You really can move it pretty well if you stay after it. Would be more than happy to see you in the Crypt’s.

And Congratulations on the big 500

Good, spread the word that The RuneVillage is the place to be for the best info on the net concerning Runescape. And while this is not a guide, really just my log of what I’ve picked up, there are some GREAT guides here for all aspects of the game. Read S.S.4Goten’s Updated guide for the Barrows to see what I mean. It’s great that people here are going back and revisiting old guides to challenge the established way and see if there is something else that can be learned, to see if there is a better, faster, cheaper way to do the same thing. By all means, spread the word.

[hr]

So, I have about 100 snaps harvested, with another 30 seeds on hand to plant, still like to have about another 150 (pots beyond what I have in the pipe) before I go back to make sure I have enough. After that I need to fish and cook some sharks, but I wont need anywhere as many with 6 and 12 KC runs as I needed with 18 and 21 KC runs, although in the past I have not prayed on Ahrim and Torag, I am going to follow 4Goten’s suggestion and not use Prayer on Guthan. That will be a savings in pots’ but an increase in food. So is Monkfish faster than sharks to fish? It might be worth my time to go do that quest (whatever then name is) vs’ fishing Sharks right now which is a royal pain IMHO

Ok, well since Rarius Inspired me to do Barrows... I did a few (being 50) and got the following good drops:

Verac's Brassard

Dhorak Helm

Dragon Medium (go figure)

and that fits in with his observation of a good drop every 15 runs.

Thanks Rarius and hope to join you soon. Anyone who wants to go barrowing with me just PM me in game (RS name: dave36464736) and lemme know. Ill mostly be doing barrows anyways... oh, and if you have any sharks for sale, lemme know. lol

I should be back to the Barrows by the middle of this week. I took a little time to do some other work on skills. Now I need to gather about 300 red spider eggs to mix with my snaps and I’ll be back to the Barrow.

Danny9760, I don't see how you could possably be dissapointed. Maybe you didn't get the Barrow drops you wanted, but look at what you did get.

$52,124 gp
2218 Blood Runes at average of 500gp each = $1,109,000 gp
5324 Chaos Runes at average of 125gp each =$665,500 gp
1713 Bolt Racks at average of 300gp each =$513,900 gp

Thats $2,340,524 gp in Gold Pieces, Runes and Bolt Racks not counting minds and deaths that you saved on.

Add in -

Dharoks Platelegs - $1,275,000 gp
Karil's Leathertop - $225,000 gp
Torags Helm - $250,000 gp
Half A Key - $30,000

Now we all know that Barrow prices are in flux, but I have been able to get very close to pre construction prices by being persistent. But knock some off these prices anyway.

Still thats $4,000,000 gp for 5 days of fun.

Plus 3 drops in 55 trips is an average of 1 every 18 trips, not that far outside average that 1 more in the next few trips dosn't put you right back in.

Looks to me like your doing pretty dang good.

i did work out the totals but still 4mil for a week non stop,
just seems very little for all the effort
i guess i did want more barrows hehe or is that just being greedy :S
its just more satisfying if i got more armour and weapons ya know instead of runes hehe
but i must say the forums helped me make even more out of it, plus i sold it all my "loot" the day or two after construction came out so prices were everywhere

I agree, you just love to see those peices of Barrow Gear show up in your inventory. You hope it happens often but the reality is it comes in waves. Sometimes you'll get 3 items in 4 trips, other times you get 1 item in 50 trips. You just gotta play through the pain.

Still, if your trip lengths are about what mine are, 15-20 minutes each, then your making in the area of $250,000 an hour. Not to bad, not as good as some of the other skills, but a lot less boring wouldn't you say?

I recommened that you continue to go for a while and see what happens to your drop rate, your over 15 now which is where I started. As I have done more trips my drop rate has continued to come down. It's in the 12-13 runs per drop on average now. Thats 7-9 Barrow drops every 100 runs.

Son of Hades and dave, I might see you guys at the Barrows starting again tonight. Last night I finished making 370 Super Restores and already put 600 Monkfish in the bank so it's time to finish off 50 runs at 6 KC and then 100 runs at 12 KC. I normally do not have private chat on at all when I Barrow, but I will tonight for a while. My 'tonight' will start about 5 hours from now.

Well in a couple of days I'll need to buy some more monkfish (haven't done quest to fish) and I can get back. Still no more luck

__________________

Im not on too often, mainly due to exams and stuff. If you add me I may see you on sometime.

Did about 20 runs and got a karil coif, sold it for a massive 75k.

edit: HAHAHAH ownt, 2nd d med right after

__________________

I'll add you tonight although, with about 7 hours different in our time zones (Assuming you are indeed in Wales) we might not see each other online much except the weekends. (And since I have to work both days this upcoming weekend, it might be awhile)

Did about 12 runs last night, and funny you should mention Karils Coif, I got one of those myself. But it was a strange night, same run I gut the Coif I got Guthan's Helm. 2 drops in the same chest is pretty uncommon for me. Very next run was Torag's Hammers and Verac's Flail. Back to back doubles. And the market blows right now so I am holding to see if it recovers any at all. I have 5 Flail's to dump off at some point and I would just as soon not give them away.

Whats the market on D-Med's right now? I have 4 of those to get rid of as well.

Hope to see you online sometime, trying to get as far as I can in the recipe for disaster quest atm.
