OSRS Grid Master Barrows Guide | Fast Kills & Rewards

The Barrows tile in Grid Master sounds intimidating, but with the event’s boosted power levels and XP, it’s one of the easiest mid-game completions you can clear. Here’s how to finish it fast, earn relic progress, and take full advantage of the 8x drop rate boost.

How to Unlock and Reach Barrows in Grid Master

You can reach Barrows quickly once Fairy’s Flight or the Banker’s Briefcase is unlocked. Use either teleport option to travel near Morytania, then head to the Barrows mound area east of Mort'ton. Every player can access it in Grid Master without needing the full quest line.

Most players clear this tile after completing Golden God, since the infinite money and high Magic levels make the run smoother. You’ll also have strong combat stats from linked skills or relics like Combat Mastery, which removes the usual accuracy struggles.

Best Setup for Barrows in This Mode

Magic is still the best way to kill the Barrows Brothers fast. Auto-alch from Golden God means you can stay topped on cash while clearing each crypt. Equip any high-tier weapon or spell combo you’ve earned from the grid and bring simple food like sharks or stews, which are easy to restock anywhere.

If you’ve unlocked Khopesh from Construction or similar relics, melee can work too. The no-miss combat perk makes it viable even on lower Attack levels.

Recommended loadout:

• Magic or Melee main setup with prayer support

• Sharks or Corrupted Shark for healing

• Stamina potions from rooftop runs or early crafting

• Teleport back via Banker’s Briefcase or Fairy’s Flight

Drop Rate Boosts and Rewards

Every Barrows Brother drop, including unique sets and bolt racks, is affected by Grid Master’s 8x drop multiplier. That means full Barrows sets drop more often, making this one of the most efficient GP farms in the event.

Loot also synergizes well with Golden God. You can alch duplicate items instantly for fast gold while keeping rare drops in your bank. It’s worth a few runs even after completing the tile just for profit.

Extra Tips to Speed It Up

• Link Combat skills together before attempting Barrows, so every hit gains extra shared XP.

• Bring plenty of prayer points or protection prayers since fights are faster but still hit hard.

• Use the Bank Heist reward to restock and return faster.

• Do Barrows during XP-boosted phases for maximum benefit, especially if you’ve unlocked the center-column bonus.

Final Blurb

Barrows in Grid Master is far easier than in the base game thanks to the boosted rates and relic synergy. You’ll crush the Brothers in record time, earn steady profit, and clear an important mid-grid tile toward your completion bonuses.

Just make sure you’ve got Golden God or a strong combat relic active before diving in.
