Barrows Gloves, The Ultimate Guide from Scratch!

Barrows gloves are among the most sought-after items in Old School RuneScape because they provide high bonuses for all combat styles at a low cost.

-Why Get Barrows Gloves?

Barrows Gloves are a game-changer for any account. They provide the second-highest bonuses for all combat styles, making them a versatile and cost-effective choice. Compared to Best-in-Slot (BiS) gloves like Ferocious Gloves or Tormented Bracelet, Barrows Gloves are significantly cheaper and accessible to mid-level players.

If you’re serious about progressing your account, Barrows Gloves are a must-have.

-How to Get Barrows Gloves

Before diving into RFD, you’ll need to meet the following skill requirements:

  • Cooking: 70
  • Agility: 48
  • Mining: 50
  • Fishing: 53
  • Thieving: 53
  • Herblore: 25
  • Magic: 59
  • Smithing: 40
  • Firemaking: 50
  • Ranged: 4
  • Crafting: 40
  • Fletching: 10
  • Woodcutting: 36

You’ll also need 175 Quest Points to start the final sub-quest. If you’re short on QP, consider knocking out some easy quests to boost your total.



After completing your first RFD sub-quest, you’ll gain access to the Culinaromancer’s Chest in the Lumbridge Castle basement. This chest allows you to purchase gloves and food, which are especially useful for Ironman accounts.

The gloves you unlock will upgrade as you progress through the questline, starting with Hardleather Gloves and culminating in Barrows Gloves.



These gloves are the initial pair unlocked during this quest line and will be upgraded each time you finish a sub-quest, progressing from “Hardleather Gloves” to the “Barrows Gloves.”

The Grand Finale!

Once you’ve completed all 8 sub-quests, it’s time for the final showdown. The Culinaromancer fight consists of 6 phases, each with a unique demi-boss:

  1. Agrith-Na-Na
  2. Flambeed
  3. Karamel
  4. Dessourt
  5. Gelatinnoth Mother
  6. The Culinaromancer

Each boss has different strengths and weaknesses, so you’ll need to adapt your strategy accordingly. After defeating a demi-boss, you can leave the instance to resupply and regear for the next phase.
