Barrows is an activity topic that Gnomonkey covers in 4 videos between 2022-03-19 and 2026-05-27. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Contents

Methods

  • For Prayer experience, Gnomonkey does a Barrows task requiring him to kill all six brothers and recover an icon from the chest in their crypt.1
  • Gnomonkey kills only one brother per trip and takes the melee brothers without praying, saving his prayer for Karil, whom he must fight early so he does not run out of prayer.2

Stats and numbers

  • He wants D-plate legs for Moons, quotes a one in seven chance from wave five and six, and says if he sees them on wave six he will send it.3
  • Bolt racks replace rune rolls in the Barrows chest and require a very high reward potential to receive.4

Tips

  • Gnomonkey brings Jangerberries to Barrows because they restore one prayer point each.1
  • Gnomonkey tried to spec Ahrim with his dragon dagger and missed every special attack, and notes Ahrim drains strength and that he has ten less slash defence than stab defence, then decides to mage all of the brothers.5
  • Gnomonkey proposes a chance for the Barrows chest to give a partially used, untradeable strange old lockpick of around 10 to 25 charges instead of bolt racks.6

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey considers Barrows good mid-level content and what Jagex should strive for if they add more, though he thinks they should not add many mid-level bosses.7
  • Gnomonkey says all mid-level content should not have a pet, because it keeps mid-levels grinding it instead of high levels; he notes Barrows has no pet.8
  • Gnomonkey rates Barrows C tier, below Giant Mole, as solid mid-level content for mid-levels.9
  • Gnomonkey notes players typically do not kill Barrows before the Hallowed Sepulchre because the Sepulchre needs Sins of the Father, so the strange old lockpick is mainly for clogging outfits like the Dharok set.10
  • Gnomonkey's lockpick idea would give a trade-off where killing more tunnel creatures for reward potential gives the lockpick to skip doors, allowing faster kills per hour, and keeps the Hallowed Sepulchre lockpick valuable.4

Events

  • Gnomonkey recovers the strange icon from the chest and receives a lamp worth 20,000 Prayer experience.11
  • Gnomonkey received a zombie axe, a one in 800 drop, on his first Barrows kill count after the quest.12
  • The group is trying to get Barrows tank armour before going to Perilous Moons and that they are basically set apart from the Barrows armour; Barrows gloves would also be nice.13
  • He survived a Barrows hit at one health (he calls it his first chance on the account), noting the max hit was 29 and he lasted by one HP.14
  • Gnomonkey completed the Barrows collection log during this stream.15
