I've been doing these on my stream unofficially on my iron man, is I barrows tab, no matter what spot I'm in, that is my starting points. Just to keep me motivated to try and beat my own PB while trying to hunt out my remaining items, but this could be more competitive deffinetly for main accounts to then bring super combat potions, imbued hearts and ranging potions into this mix. I just do my speed runs on my iron man with only food for supplies, and 1 prayer potion for like backup, I could imagine these runs being done way faster with a main account in BIS gear and prayer potions.
how I got about my barrows speedruns are Dharok>Karil>Ahrim>Verac>Torag>Guthan>Chest
I have other forms of speed running this since I play an iron man. I do the same as above for my more recent speedruns for rewards + kill npcs underground for roughly 86% in my splits for live splits I use it at 83%-86% range to get my max amount of runes without hitting the bolt table.
I do other forms of it as well where I leave out brothers I don't need items from, I was often doing Dharock>>Karil>>Guthan>>Chest since I have full torags and veracs and don't really care for ahrims staff.
How I go about when a tunnel brother occurs in any run, I immedietly split that, and count that brother into the "chest" time in some runs and I put it in the "83-86%" splits of my other runs where I go for full profit outta barrows while trying to speed run it, I think they'd have to be different catagories, where 83-86% be considered 100% barrows for iron man varients, if you guys want it 100% maybe for mains? Basically I call my time upon the moment of the reward items showing up on screen.
any thoughts on this? would it be hard to like code/implimment onto this site?
the any% could be literally finding the tunnel as fast as you can, and getting the luckiest tunnel pattern to reach the chest and get your 15gp or w/e it rewards you.
the any% would be more open to new speed runners, where 100% barrows run would be done by people in like ancestral, arma, bandos and a slayer task for WR type of deals.
unless we'd rather ban runs done on a very very rare boss slayer task which assigns barrows.
maybe make the any% include killing the barrows brother that's spawned by opening the chest, just so the speedrunner has a slight slight slight chance at an item from that brother? idk just a thought
the 100% could probably be totally optimized for main accounts with mage gear and prayer potions to be used. rather then the route I gave out that I do on my iron man
we could even to like marathon runs where ya get 5-10-25 chests in different speedrun catagories.
or like a No potions run, where you don't use any prayer pots, you just use the prayer you got then if ya run out you gotta tank the rest of the brothers?
