Tip 1: Monsters spawn every time you open a door in the crypts. Use this to rack up the kills for a larger reward. (Note: Does not increase your chances of finding a Barrows item.)
Tip 2: When you find the door leading to the treasure room, lure any monsters attacking you to the wall opposite of the door. Once you're there, quickly run back to the door and try to solve the puzzle as quickly as you can. There's a chance the monster attacking you will get stuck behind another one, buying you a few more seconds to solve the puzzle without any interruptions.

I were void mage / melee mystic boots arcane steam necklace and ring of wealth (row) and use the staff of light (sol) with a spectril spirit shield (until i can afford arcane)
I use slayer dart for mage (they repleish your runes with chest rewards) and a vine whip for melee except for the fight with akrisae I use the sol the whole time switching between mage/melee as he switches prayers by turning on and off my magic att.
I start at dharok and run clockwise in a circle ending in the center with Ahrim because i melee him then go down to tunnles already dressed for melee to get my kc and find final brother I then switch to appropriate att style and gear for the final brother (mage/melee)
I bring pots and food enough for multipl runs once I have finished off the final brother and looted the final chest I then tele back to my starting point useing my Drakan's medallion and repeat this process banking in burg de roth when needed
I avrage 10-13 kc ea round and I have also been keeping a running loot total since i started barrows and to date i have made 179m gp at barrows so far

Polypore staff, with best mage gear you can afford/wear (arcane stream necklace is great) along with a melee weapon for Akrisae when he prayer switches is the most effective way I found. I've two hit Torag with Ganodermic/Polypore staff combo. I don't bother with prayers at all, instead, I'll bring Vecna Skull for magic boost, Drakan's Medallion for a quick bank trip (Burg De Rott) and rest of my inventory is Monkfish. I can usually kill the brothers fast enough with Polypore that I don't worry much about food and can go 3-4 rounds without having to bank. Even when banking, Drakan's Medallion makes it quick to go back and forth and start over!
Don't bother much with "kill count" if you're interested in the armor drops. Wear Ring of Wealth and get through as fast as you can!

For those who have high def 87+ you can kill verac,guthan,torag,ahrim(d'hide will help as a 2nd armor)and karill with swords,tuna,or sweetcorn as food you will require prayer for dharok.For my stats 99att 92 str 95 def i usualy use sweetcorn and when it come to dharok only 1 dose of prayer potion(holy wrench will help) with this setup i can go 2 trips at max without banking for more food. now for lower lvls or pures using thier weakness to help you kill them takes less time and food,but with my other cb skills in the low 80's I do not fight them that way so that is all I can muster. :P

Kill the brothers in the following order: Dharok, Verac, Akrisae (after ROTM), Torag, Guthan and finally Ahrim. Bring some strong defensive gear, preferably barrows armour or bandos with a good weapon and shield. My preferred set-up is Helm of Neitiznot, Rune platebody and platelegs, Abyssal Whip and a dragon defender. Use magic if possible, slayers dart works a treat. Bring a good spec weapon such as Korasi's Sword, Dragon Claws or a Dragon Dagger (P++) to speed up the run. Bring a set of potions whether it is normal attack, strength, defence or a super set. These work well but extremes or overloads are obviously better.
Make sure you bring prayer potions as during the activity your prayer will be drained slightly every now and then. Bring good healing food, a ring of wealth for extra loot, restore potions as Ahrim lowers your stats and an emergency teleport to ensure a successful trip!

Tip #1
I reccomend killing the barrow brothers in this order:
1. Dharok
2. Karil
3. Verac
4.(Arkisae if you beat ritual of the mahjarrat) if not then ahrim
5.Torag
6.Guthan
Tip #2
If you can, I highly reccomend beating the Ritual of the Mahjarrat and Branches of Darkmeyer. The reason why is because if you do beat the Ritual of the Mahjarrat, you have an extra Barrows brother, Akrisae, which you can kill for more valuable items then Torags. Also, if you beat branches of darkmeyer, not only do you get a staright teleport to the Barrows, but as well as a teleport to an altar (darkmeyer) and a bank (Burgh de Rott). What's better, the amulet doesnt waste charges if you are anywhere in Mortyana! Those are my tips, good luck people :)
