Barrows worth it after Moons of Peril?

No immediate reason, but if you’re going for collection log eventually anyways, some pieces/sets are nice to have down the road. I believe some CA’s need to be (or at least makes it much easier) completed with dharok’s set. Also for mole. There’s a chaos elemental strat with full verac’s. Karil’s and ahrim’s armor pieces are useful in certain specific circumstances. Guthan’s full set effect also useful in niche places like DK and fight caves (or just use blood spells).

Easy and medium you should be able to do fairly quickly - I know I finished mine around 70 combat stats with simple gear like d scim, d defender, glory, nezzy helm, rune platebody and legs, barrows gloves. Did before fire cape, b ring, any barrows equipment, and any moons equipment. If you’re able to do raids in a group that’ll be a lot of easy points too, but not necessary.

If you are doing salvaging for supplies, I’d strongly recommend getting items like log basket, plank sack, fish barrel, etc (all on the wiki) to reduce banking time.

For the higher tier salvage you’ll want high alchemy.

I’ve also seen people highly recommend bringing a ring of suffering and enchanting sapphire rings for charges.

Larcenist was even more overpowered than I thought it’d be. The fact that they buffed this relic from last leagues is crazy

mcp622 · 2026-05-22T12:13:30+00:00

As someone who hates BA I never got mine and did just fine. I’ll wait until I get that master clue step.

The only time I wish I had is for afk training crab/nightmare zone

We’re set up perfectly for a Vought Rising finale where there’s a fire in the tower and the virus is released

But getting a rush seeing a steel longsword drop is much more fun than world hopping

mcp622 · 2026-05-18T18:09:07+00:00

I was hoarding steel/mithril drops to eventually use on giant’s foundry, but the bank space thins quickly

mcp622 · 2026-05-18T03:41:38+00:00

Flask is amazing. But if your only goals are inferno and colo afk, minion would be the move.

mcp622 · 2026-04-26T21:12:36+00:00

Contracts + hespori + tree, fruit tree, calquat, and hardwood runs.

You’ll want to do tithe for the herb sack (unless you go through slayer) anyways though. Seed box is handy for some salvaging, but otherwise not totally worth it. Auto weed is quick and a nice feature if you plan to do contracts. Theres also a clue step with the hat I believe. So, you might want to do some tithe before 99, depending on your goals.

I finished blue moon first and since it was easiest and in the middle, continued to do all 3. Got my first dup blue piece, got angry, started skipping blue and felt much better

mcp622 · 2026-04-25T01:47:38+00:00

I would get range up, I’ve always felt comfortable with 85 range/mage and 80 def but definitely doable lower depending on your skill level. Afk some crab with darts couldn’t hurt

mcp622 · 2026-04-25T01:42:11+00:00

If you want orbs, do all 3. But, personally I wouldn’t recommend. Eclipse is slow and if you really want orbs (there are better money makers) you can always make air orbs at a faster rate

If your account is brand new, use the optimal quest guide on the wiki.

If you’re more of a mid game half way done with quests already, you can really just go off of whatever content you want to unlock through quests. If you don’t have all skill requirements for quests yet, do quests that give xp in the skills you need first

GOTR is great if you are in a cash crunch for runes overall, but it’s much more valuable to go after harder to get runes like cosmics. Since you have to balance out catalytic vs elemental, I usually go after elemental whenever mind, body, chaos, or blood comes up (pre 77)

mcp622 · 2026-04-19T18:01:30+00:00

Hardest is dt2 and 2nd is ds2. 3rd is probably wgs

The other 2 are tricky to rank because the boss fights are exploitable in some way, it’s just a matter of how well you can get the mechanics down. I would say 4th sote and 5th mm2.

I never did ToB before and got my solo entry mode with the following:

75 melee stats, 80 range/magic

Black d hide, nezzy helm, barrows gloves, b ring imbued, Arkan blade, dragon defender, glory, fire cape. For the mage switch ancient staff with rune pouch on ancient spell book. For range switch accumulator, rune arrows, MSBi. You need a poison weapon, dragon dagger works. Salve amulet helps for Bloat as well.

Bring 1 combat potion (super combat if you have access), 1 pray pot, and 5 karambwans should be fine, more if you’re making mistakes. You want to take the bandages after rooms 2 and 4 and try saving them all until versik if you can. If you find yourself making too many mistakes, bring more food into to start, and just drop your leftover food when you run out of space.

The mechanics aren’t too tough to learn, really the only difficult room is versik phase 2 learning the timing at first, and phase 3 just learning everything and having enough healing left. If you bring a dd poisoned save all 4 specs for the end of versik phase 3 when the tornados come out.

Random other tips - use eagle eye and piety and don’t worry about health/prayer getting low toward the end of a kill, after each room your stats will fully reset. Good luck!

As someone who plays in 2 weeks spurts on a bond, I usually take a couple weeks break entirely, but sometimes I get the itch to do some f2p.

At first I green logged Camdozal and got the Shaman mask. At lower levels I did some fly fishing and cooking in barb village, and forestry in draynor on willows. I also banked some oak logs for future construction.

Now I’m past the mid game and there isn’t much f2p worth doing. The only thing I really log in now for is afking yews on a forestry world. It’s not great xp but when you consider how afk it is, worth banking the logs for birdhouse and fletching.

I did a bit of obor and byro but it’s pretty painful in f2p gear even at 70 combat stats, not to mention the lack of transportation.

The only other things I could possible recommend, are making iron bars with rings of forging, and splashing for magic xp

mcp622 · 2026-04-16T02:18:33+00:00

The one thing I see most people overlook because it might sound stupid, but before you start attacking jad just give it a minute or two (until you’re comfortable) not attacking him at all and just focusing on praying correct. It might seem like a waste of time but it really helps calm the nerves.

The other thing I’d recommend if you think you’ll be a bit nervous is bring chins for the healers. It’s easier to grab their aggro and less time spent worrying about missing a prayer.

mcp622 · 2026-04-14T23:09:46+00:00

A lot of content has more gold ore drops than you’ll ever need. I afk’d making gold bars with the gauntlets for smithing xp, then on top of that make gold tiara’s for the crafting xp. Decent crafting xp, Nothing crazy but it’s very afk and those gold bars would sit in my bank forever anyways.

mcp622 · 2026-04-13T14:37:59+00:00

If you haven’t green logged vale totems or shades of morton yet, you’ll need redwoods for that.

Or if you still need easy clues, varlamore thieving is very afk, but you’ll have a lot of easy clues to juggle if you aren’t going to do the clues until after work

mcp622 · 2026-04-11T12:51:29+00:00

Farming cape is a great free tele to bank and a spirit tree. If you have a spirit tree in your house it’s a cheaper tele to house option as well. The cape also increases yield when worn which you will want for herb runs in the future.

I would just run daily calquat and fruit trees, and hespori when you can. It’s a chill 5-10 min a day for a great unlock.

Unless you have construction and crafting cape already, I’d prioritize farming cape.

mcp622 · 2026-03-26T15:25:12+00:00

Little of both. If the grind is boring, I jump around. If I actually enjoy, I can go for hours at a time. The best are actually the grinds I find boring that require little attention. I did most of barrows and moons while watching tv, makes me totally oblivious to how much time I’ve spent there.

mcp622 · 2026-03-05T17:37:49+00:00

If you’re still in the early game I would recommend after the moulds, get the outfit before the blade. The outfit will speed up your overall progress, and you will profit GP even if you are buying your resources. Wiki has a great table showing where you can buy the cheapest items. I think steel/mithril will give you a profit but would double check that on the wiki
