For stats I would say you should be at least level 70 with level 60 or higher defense and attack for strength at least 50. Range at least level 60+ and mage at a level that you can use death runes would be wonderful.

I would recommend that you bring Rune legs, plate, and kite if you don’t have Rune armor then Dragon or Barrows armor (I will talk about latter on in this guide) or just addy. Then when you have the melee armor figured out you can work on your Mage armor, I would recommend full mystic possibly split bark if you have a low defense both of which cost about 200000 gold as of early April, 2006. Now for Ranged armor I would recommend that you don’t bring full dragon hide just bring the body and the legs if you want. For a bow I would bring a Magic short or Crystal bow, there is only one person you will be fighting with Range. Now for the rest of the equipment I would say bring a few sharks and a lot of Prayer pots a Magical Elemental staff, Slayer staff, or ancient staff and the needed runes to cast at least 100 spells of your choice. To use ancients or magic dart you need 55 slayer and 55 mage I think. Now you are going to need a cape I would recommend an Obby cape, God cape, or Legends cape.

Ok what I bring to barrows. A SPADE I cannot stress enough how important it is to bring a spade if you don’t bring one then you will have to go elsewhere. You cannot do barrows without a spade. Now I would bring full Mystic, Glory ammy, Black Dragon Hide body, Crystal bow with 1 or 2 charges remaining, 10000 gold, five or so unnoted sharks with 100-500 noted sharks and three more prayer pots then sharks, runes to do 500-1000 spells then just fill the rest of my slots with prayer pots. Just to let you all know, when I go to barrows I always do it for days at a time. This inventory setup will allow me to do it for one to two days. I personally don’t bring Melee armor just because I know what I am doing and I can use the extra supplies more.

Quests needed and recommended for barrows. Need priest in peril, should get In search of Myreque (for faster way to barrows), Ghosts Ahoy for low level mages or if you are using regular spells, or if you are going to use ancients Desert Treasure (for easy teleportation spots) and Nature Spirit if you haven’t done the Myreque quest. Shades of Mort'ton is one I would personally recommend for people who plan on doing this like I do, and that is for a day to a few days at a time.


Now what is Barrows?

I am sure if you think you can do barrows that you have been a member long enough to get a Treasure Trail Clue this is the same thing in a sense. Here you know where the Treasure is you just need to get to it, in order to get to it you must kill 6 brothers to get it. These brothers are extremely hard to kill you must be able to use protection from melee to have a chance. The names are as follows Ahrim (Mage Brother) Dharok Guthen Veracs and Torag these 4 are Melee brothers and Karil is a Range Brother. You will need to kill 5 of them in their crypt and the final one in the tunnels (if you quit barrows and start again a few days after you more then likely will not have to kill one in the tunnel you will kill the one in the crypt instead of the tunnel).

Now to get to barrows go to Canifis bank then get your supplies, head south you will see a fence on the East side, stay close to the fence you will see a door, go through it. Now turn on run and head south, do not stop for anything. You will see a brown path a after a little while now you can walk. Start trying to go East, I know this might be a little hard your first time but if you are standing on grey ground head north back to the trail then take the north path and just follow it and you will end up in Mort'ton from here it is quite simple really. Go west and you will see a transportation spot now go over the bridge and into that big place and you are there.

Now for what to kill and when I would personally recommend killing the Mage Brother first so you don’t need to set you spell except for one time. From the gate entrance go south all the way until you see the final hill. Stand on the very top in the center and use your spade and you will fall into the crypt, turn your protection from mage on, switch to your range armor and search the coffin in the center of the room if your prayer points goes under 20 take a dose of Prayer potion (You would rather loose a dose of potion then all of the stuff you have on you right?). Now go up the stairs and let’s kill Dharok the hardest brother there is. Go north to the next hill then North East to that hill dig. Before you search the crypt get your mage armor on set your spell get full prayer and turn on protection from melee on. And kill Dharok when you are done it don’t really matter what order you kill the other brothers in but I would to Veracs Karil Guthen Torag in that order keep in mind one of these brothers will show up in the tunnel do NOT enter the tunnel until your kill count is five. The brothers locations is as follows North West Crypt is Verac, Dharok is to the east of Verac, Karil is between those two just to the south a little bit, now the south west crypt is Torag the one to the east is Verac in-between the two of them just to the South is Ahrim. Remember for the mage use protection from Mage for the range use protection from range for the melee brothers use protection from melee.

Ok now you remember the brother that the game didn’t make you fight in the crypt lets go hunt him down. Go back to that crypt get your melee armor now lets remember where you are and how to get back. In this guide it would be impossible for me to tell you how to get to the center but you will see doors not all are doors when you get to a door that is a puzzle answer it then go in you will see a chest open it up and get your reward and then go back to that room I told you to remember how to get back from and start again. When you start to run low on food and pots go to the general store back in Mort’ton sell some to the store and buy back and then start again.
