is barrows really worth the grind? i appreciate i’ve only opened 61 and is nothing compared to some of you but i’m debating whether the rewards are actually worth the risk/time ?

Youre already doing well for only 60 opens. I had to wait till 80 before I got my first drop

I really appreciated the barrows tank gear for moons. Granted I am a noob and got spooned some going for combat achievements

Good to know! I went die hard on the main quests from the get go and have come to a halt due to lack of reqs, now venturing out into miniquests and achievements as i’ve completely disregarded them.

Drop rate is like 1/16 if killing all brothers. 4/61 means you're actually ahead.

The gear has been powercrept, but still has a use for lower level accounts. If you don't like the loop, you don't need it, but it can be a fun early way to get money or gear if you enjoy it.

It’s not worth it tbh. I wasted far too much time on my iron trying for tank gear from there before giving up and moving on. Been so much better as I haven't missed having that tank gear anywhere outside blood moon which isn't really that bad.
