Dusang Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey guys!Today, I've decided to take on a huge challenge! I will study, compile, and provide the first accurate statistics centered around barrows and its rewards. Stipulations placed around research:Minimum hours spent barrowed to consider statistics accurate: 150 hoursAverage time spent barrowing a day: 6 hoursAll times will be recorded.All drops will not be sold or distributed until atleast 150 hours of barrowing have been done.I will provide photographic proof of all findings. (ie drops, etc)All information compiled, if used, should be credited to myself before doing so.I will update this thread every day with progress, time spent, and items gained.I will not calculate rune costs/rune gains, etc. Doesn't interest me. I will be using a ring of wealth. You can keep track of my progress here: http://services.runescape.com/m=adventurers-log/display_player_profile.ws?searchName=D+the+Tiger&submit=Goals in doing this research:I will calculate percentages pertaining to how often any particular barrows item is looted.I will calculate the average amount of items required to obtain any barrows item.I will calculate my own personal average run-time.I will calculate average hourly profits. The way I will be doing so is compiling a list of average total earnings each day and then average each daily average, and also, adding the total earnings and dividing it by the total time. Both methods could provide some interesting insight. Though they should be fairly similar. (I'd like some input on how you predict either of these calculations to work out)Future plans:I plan to have this posted on both tip.it and xp-waste by the end of this month.If anyone can make me some graphics for the thread, you will be credited and I'd be extremely appreciative. Perhaps a portion of the final profits could be yours?I will hold a massive give-a-way at the end of this study in which I will distribute around 10m of the total profit. (I will allow TRR to host and distribute these funds, if they want)How can you trust the accuracy of my research? I've worked at multiple labs compiling, recording and assessing information for the past 3 years. I'll do my best to provide you with accurate, thoroughly checked, double-checked and triple-checked information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Fantastic idea, I can't wait to read your findings. I did something similar (although less in-depth) from 80-99 fishing, mainly because I had nothing better to do while my pixel proxy slaved over the beach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MstrMonopoly Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really good idea. Boss hunting profits are down and Barrows prices still seem fairly high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusang Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 So far, so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 So far, so good. Not even great items, either. You could easily make even more if you'd gotten some Helms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huygens Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Looks good! What method do you use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusang Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I slayer dart with a SoL, and pray only on Dharok and Ahrim. I use 0-1 doses of prayer potion, if I don't have a Dh/Ahrim tunnel. I also claw Karil so I don't have to pray on him. I'll be posting my set-up momentarily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusang Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 These pictures are old. Replace the neitz with a v helm and replace a spot in the inventory with d-claws. I don't use my rapier because I don't feel like wasting those expensive charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynisa Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not a bad setup at all.I switch out your cape for zammy god .. cos im not as cool.Switch the SOL for a black sally, reverance aura, fury neck and verac top.I would imagine your setup is better, but you have better stats and more cash. :-P--Barrows used to be a 1m/hr thing - just on the runes. Dunno what its like now, been a while since i've been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tynisa Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 81 chests later .. o.o--Your making me want to barrows again .. i do have to admit it was a rather fun time in my life.Quick tip, i use half monkfish, and half basket of strawberries (5) - they heal overall more than monkfish, but require more eating time. (Use in the tunnels against the little monster peoples.)Dunno if that tip is well known .. i imagine it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
