Tip1: Quest "The Branches of Darkmeyer" can reduce the time of resupplying. Simply use Drakan's medallion for unlimited teleports from the barrows to the bank and back!
Tip2: Don't give up, if you haven't got any loot from the chest- you'll have more luck next time!

Always bring a spade; I cannot count the many times I have forgotten. Even if you have one on your toolbelt.
Magic dart and salamanders are effecive, cheap ways of disposing of a majority of the brothers, bring a decent melee or ranged weapon for ahrim.
Know what mound has what brother! This is very important because if you want to try and take out a weak thorag but instead get obliverated by Dharok.
Always pray if you're up close. As a newbie I once tried to take out Thorag without prayer. He then hit high on me once and found myself at lumbridge the next second.
If you're high level and experienced then always keep your HP high, ALWAYS pray on Dharok as he can hit over 990 at low health.
More l00t is more w00t, so do Rotm in your spare time to unlock Akrasiea and increase your chances of getting a barrows item.
You can l00t the chest at any time, but you will get more l00t if you kill more barrows brothers.
Don't bother getting your kill count very high, the brothers give a majaority of the l00t.
Don't be afraid of trying something new! Just don't be suprised when you wake up at lumbridge.
If you know an astral mage, have him share his potions with you instead of ingesting them. Instead of 2 prayer potions on 2 players you can share 1 potion on 2 players! Just make sure nobody else is nearby because it will share with EVERYBODY nearby.
That same astral mage could veng you and heal you if he's selfless!
If said astral mage is going to be assisting you, assume their lack of combat magic. I'm sure less then 0.1% of players have the patience for Livid Farm or repeated spellbookswaps.
Borrowed power will allow you to use slayer dart while on the lunar spellbook. It costs 3 more astral runes per cast, you cannot wear an amulet and you must cast manually. You wont have to use spellbook swap every cast though.

Well here are my tips 1)Recommended stats
It is recommended that before attempting the Barrows, players should have a Combat level of at least 70, level 43 Prayer (for using the protection prayers), level 58+ Magic (for Ice spells - completion of Desert Treasure is required), level 55 Slayer (for using the Magic Dart spell with 50 Magic), level 60+ Constitution, and level 65 Ranged. (85 range if using range for all the brothers - diamond bolts recommended). Players are also advised to turn their "Accept Aid" option off before fighting the brothers, as other players may attempt to use Tele-other spells in order to distract you. To lessen their chances of dying, players should wear a Ring of Life when fighting the brothers. Ring of life will not always activate, as most of the brothers have a higher max hit than 10% of your life points. Also note that wearing a ring of wealth will increase your chance of getting more valuable loot from the chest but for lower levels should stick to ring of life. Unsure players should bring a one click teleport. Killing all of the brothers increases chance of receiving a barrows item. Getting a high kill count (not including the brothers) does not affect the chance of you getting better items from the chest.
2)Things to bring
The Barrows is an excellent example of the delicate balance of the combat triangle between the three combat classes, as it is best to use Magic against the melee brothers, Dharok the Wretched, Verac the Defiled, Torag the Corrupted, and Guthan the Infested, Ranged against Ahrim the Blighted, and Melee against Karil the Tainted.
Prayer potions (About 1-5, or more if you plan on killing the brothers several times per trip)
Super restore (About 3-5)
Lots of food is always recommended also a beast of burden like a spirit terror bird)
Melee approach can be the cheapest method because it does not require any prayer potions. However, this should be done on players that have high melee stats (80+).
