In the absence of at least lvl70+ stats, a barrow wouldn't be a good choice... You could easily require more than one container of OSRS gold prayer pots as well as food to last 1 of the six brothers... This is absolutely terrible... Also the highest level of players require prayers of lvl43, which should be the number one priority at the moment... This shouldn't cost 300k if ur Gilding (not burying) massive bones.

Oh! Even i wanted to be a Mage at first.. However, i ended up getting melee levels higher... Prolly cuz mage sux for combat, except if you're using an ancient spellbook with very powerful spells. But they're expensive. around 1k each time you cast. In addition, melee is the only way to win! For barrows, however, Mage is the best choice, because the armour they wear (the Lvl115s) provide the best melee defenses in the game.. This is a lower defense to magic. Also, prayer is one of the top capabilities you can cultivate.. It's definitely worth the money... Keep training your abilities, but refrain from grinding.. Have fun playing.

Complete torags without the hammer. Costs like under 900k. It's one of the highest melee def in game. It is also much less expensive than veracs (veracs helm on its own is 900k+). Prob is, all Barrows armor degrades in combat.. The brks are completely destroyed after 15hrs of fighting..

After that, you'll have repair them. This is about 230k for the entire armour component. The next step is a Wep. whips are great for atk or def training however, you should get the Dragon Scimmy Blade for Brackish or str. Dragon scimmy is a lot cheaper than a brackish (50k, as opposed to 500k) but needs completion of monkey madness..

A saradomin sword is much better for str, but it's priced at 4m-5m so you cant afford it. In the sheild slot (unless you are tanking (or fighting drags) A dragon defender is the absolute best. It's not traded, but you have to fight cyclopes at the top floor of the warriors guild to old school runescape buy gold acquire these..
