What is your suggestion?:
The amount + drop rate of supplies drop in barrows needs a buff.

Is this in OSRS?:
Not interesting as the feature is neither.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

Not what I have seen.

How would this benefit Alora?:

It seems very uncommon, plus the dropped amount is far too low to be worth it. Would love to see an alt way of getting the supplies, for example red spider eggs without needing wilderness. But this is too useless at the moment to count as one.

Don't think this was ever meant to be a "meta" way to obtain secondaries but I wouldn't mind a buff

[GIM NZ Matt]

Agree with Konar. I don't think this was meant to remove incentive to other methods but I do think it is slightly under-powered and almost irrelevant.

The current chance and amount in getting secondary supplies from barrows is in pretty good spot in my opinion. The barrows are mainly done by lower level accounts for obtaining the gear for bossing and supplies from there is just a sweet boost for them On the other hand, the higher level accounts, who would do barrows for getting all the items in their bank might end up with way too big of secondaries amount just by doing barrows. With that being said, I do not support this suggestion, because secondaries for Barrows is just a QoL thing, not something that every player should grind in case they're in need of the supplies.

Konar's drop table is usually how I get my secondaries as an iron. Barrows should be more for stocking up on runes and getting barrows armor. The secondary rates in barrows are fine as is, in my opinion. Pretty much agree with Tauri. No support.

@Not Tauri @Moral truth 
The reason I think it needs a buff are mainly the spider eggs. But also the crushed nests. I understand that ironman players thinks the situation is fine, but those are not the one i am targeting. I talk about high level UIM + HCIM.

1. On osrs you can gather spider eggs without needing to go to wildy, which you cannot do here, except this - hence the buff suggestion. I should not have to bring all my stuff into wild to make some restores / have to risk them on the floor loosing stuff as scythe to a dc.

2. Crushed nests are mainly obtained through mole on here. But this is awful for a UIM, handing in skins/claws will drop all the nests on the floor, making it very annoying to do. The first time I did this I lost 4 hours of mole as I didn't have time to crush em + note them, and was not aware of this function.

So lose the "ironman thinking" and think of the UIM who needs to risk their bank + HCIM risking their ranks for herblore. 

Konar does not drop this stuff as far as i know.

@Konar For me it will, as the other options available are far worse. 

[Pira]

I can see the issue with uim/hcims getting said supplies, but I don't think they should be obtained through barrows. I would much rather see things like tower of life & bird houses being implemented.

 

No support on this suggestion as it is.

@Not a Nerd 
Sure, but stuff like this has been suggested, but always the same stuff "UIM can't be prioritized". 

Example:

[Tauri]

If I understood correctly, then availability of super restores is a concern for UIM + HCIM? If so, then konar drops bulk sanfews (antidote + super restore). I can't really imagine it's hard to level up herblore as HCIM just because red spider eggs are obtainable in wildy only. (almost maxed dead HCIM btw)

If I understood your post not correctly, then feel free to let me know about it.

@Not Tauri Not only to level it up because you can simply take another pot to train with, but to get the potions. 

Are sanfews on the Konar? Missed that update

[GIM Y0m0pk]

Personally agree. 

Did 100 chests and got 5 supply drops, which just isn't much/many secondaries at all. 

Yes, I can get sanfew on my HC from konar, but I've only had 50 sanfews and nearly 90 slayer - Not sure how viable that 'method' is either.

@GIM Y0m0pk Ye that doesn't seem great as well :/ I would love if they simply added the spider eggs in the varrock sewers, but the suggestion UIM GP did related to this has not had any staff response i think.

Something so simple could be done, but people will moan 'You cannot priorities one game-mode'. Yet, this can be used by multiple game modes and I'm sure it would only take a couple of minutes to add a couple of spawn points in somewhere. Don't even play UIM myself, but updates for ALL game modes are required. 

It's funny when people say 'You cannon priorities a game-mode' yet all game modes apart from HCIM + UIM Seem to be priorities (I rarely even play my HCIM) would just be nice for people to see it's not 'Prioritising' these game modes, it's giving them the same amount/similar amount of development as other game-modes so they don't die out.

@GIM Y0m0pk 100 % agree. One example is a request i did to be able to at least alch pets. I have the best pet house available, but it gets full so quickly (8 pets i think), and by doing raids you collect a lot of herons which you cannot store anywhere as an UIM. And the only way to get rid of them is to die with them, which is annoying as hell for UIM since i will need to put everything in my lootbag again etc. Alching would be the most simple way to get rid of pets for UIM, but that suggestion got "no you shouldn't be able to alch them, thats not in osrs, you should get a bigger house or not be able to get multiple pets", but if u suggest those things you get "we cant prio that, noone plays UIM"... 

(Found a bug that i can use though which makes me able to drop pets on the floor, but it took way too long time to find that, used to raid with 4-5 herons in inv)

[Eim ash]

wouldn't mind it since I've never had bad luck with them didn't go dry at all on em dry as in 15+ without supplies drop.
