Runescape Barrows

The runescape barrows mini game has proven to be one of the better games introduced by Jagex. The initial popularity of barrows may have subsided a bit, however, many experienced players still actively do barrow runs to help pass their game playing time.

Their are many different strategies that can be used while doing barrow runs. Many people will find that most strategies are useful and they will naturally find themselves being drawn into a combination of methods - in effect making their own strategy.

Some tips for barrows should always be heeded. This will help players make more efficient use of their time - and therefore enable them to get doing more runs and potentially receiving the desired barrows item as a reward.

Some requirements and strong suggestions are:

  • Must have completed the Priest in Peril Quest
  • Should have started the Nature Spirit Quest
  • Should have 43 prayer
  • Combat level of 70 or higher
  • Magic level of 53 or higher
  • Range level of 50 or higher
In addition to this, in order for runescape members to be able to travel efficiently, additional quests should be completed. These quests are:
  • In Search of the Myreque
  • Ghost Ahoy
  • Desert Treasure Quest
If any player meets all the above requirements and suggestions, they should also consider having the resources required to do plenty of barrow runs ie. 500k+ coins, plenty of food, sufficient runes or arrows etc.

Rewards can be considerable if you get lucky and regularly pick up actual barrow items. However, be prepared to get a lot of runes stocking up if you barrow run often. The following list gives an example of some of the items players can expect to receive:
  • Mind, Chaos, Death or Blood runes
  • Cash
  • Bolt Racks
  • Half Key
  • Dragon Medium Helmet
  • Barrows Items
Overall, popularity of this mini game has dampened somewhat as the price of items has dropped over time. Although plenty of people still make a considerable amount of virtual wealth through regularly doing runescape barrows. It is one of the few mini games that players still seek to find out more information on and whether or not any cheat exists for it. I will say that no cheat exists but there are plenty of ways to help improve efficiency in doing the runs that can vastly improve overall chances of gaining more items.
