Creating Barrows teleport tablets

Introduction to Creating Barrows Teleport Tablets

Creating Barrows Teleport Tablets in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a profitable and relatively low-effort money-making method that leverages the Magic skill and access to a player-owned house (POH). Introduced with the construction and magic tablet updates, this method allows players to craft teleport tablets that provide quick access to the Barrows minigame, a popular activity for mid- to high-level players seeking valuable loot. With a steady demand from adventurers looking to save time and runes, Barrows Teleport Tablets offer consistent profits, especially for those with the right setup and resources. This guide will detail the requirements, process, and strategies to maximize your earnings while crafting and selling these convenient items.

Requirements

To start crafting Barrows Teleport Tablets, you’ll need specific skills, items, and access to certain game features. Below is a comprehensive list of what’s required:

Skills

• Magic Level: A minimum of 25 Magic is required to cast the Barrows Teleport spell, which is necessary for creating the tablets.
• Construction Level: At least 40 Construction is needed to build a Lectern capable of crafting teleport tablets (specifically the Oak Lectern or higher). Higher levels (up to 67 for a Mahogany Lectern) unlock more tablet options but aren’t strictly necessary for Barrows tablets.

Quests and Achievements

• Priest in Peril: This quest is mandatory to unlock Morytania and access the Barrows area, as well as to use the Barrows Teleport spell.
• Player-Owned House: You must own a house, which requires completing the basic Construction tutorial with the Estate Agent (1,000 GP in Rimmington).

Items

Here’s a list of essential and recommended gear:

1. Soft Clay: Used to create teleport tablets. Each tablet requires 1 soft clay.
2. Runes: For the Barrows Teleport spell:

• 2 Law Runes
• 1 Soul Rune
• 2 Blood Runes
  (Per tablet crafted)

1. Lectern: Built in your POH:

• Oak Lectern: 40 Construction, 1 Oak Plank (crafted at a Sawmill for 250 GP).
• Eagle Lectern or Higher: 47+ Construction (optional, but allows more tablet types).

1. Coins: To purchase materials like planks, clay, and runes from the Grand Exchange or vendors.
2. Teleports: An Amulet of Glory or Varrock Teleport for quick banking and travel to your POH.
3. Energy Potions (Optional): To restore run energy if traveling manually.

Optional but Helpful

• Lunar Spellbook: Access to the “Magic Imbue” spell (82 Magic, Lunar Diplomacy quest) eliminates the need for talismans, though not required for Barrows tablets.
• House Teleport Tablets: For quick access to your POH if you don’t want to use runes (Teletabs or Runes: 1 Law Rune, 1 Air Rune, 1 Earth Rune).

Gathering Materials

Crafting Barrows Teleport Tablets requires a steady supply of soft clay and runes. Here’s how to gather them efficiently:

1. Soft Clay:

• Mining Clay: Mine clay rocks (found in the Mining Guild, Rimmington, or Varrock West Mine) with a pickaxe. Each clay yields 1 unit.
• Softening Clay: Use a bucket of water (or jug) on mined clay to create soft clay. A full inventory (28 clay + 1 bucket) produces 28 soft clay.
• Buying: Purchase soft clay directly from the Grand Exchange for 100-150 GP each. This saves time but cuts into profits.

1. Runes:

• Law Runes: Buy from the GE (150-200 GP each) or magic shops like the Wizards’ Guild (240 GP each, limited stock).
• Soul Runes: GE price ranges from 200-250 GP each. Alternatively, craft them at the Soul Altar (65 Runecrafting) with Pure Essence.
• Blood Runes: GE price is 250-300 GP each. Craft them at the Blood Altar (77 Runecrafting) or buy in bulk.
• Rune Packs: Purchase packs from shops (e.g., Mage Arena, Yanille) for bulk discounts if near those locations.

1. POH Setup:

• Build an Oak Lectern in your POH’s Study room (1 Oak Plank, 40 Construction). Use a hammer and saw with nails if constructing manually.
• Ensure a Portal Chamber or Teleport Nexus exists for easy access (optional but ideal).

Note: Stockpile materials in your bank or POH to minimize downtime. Aim for 500-1,000 of each item to craft in bulk.

Crafting Barrows Teleport Tablets

With materials in hand and your POH set up, crafting the tablets is a simple process:

1. Access Your POH: Teleport to your house using a House Teleport spell (40 Magic: 1 Law Rune, 1 Air Rune, 1 Earth Rune) or a tablet.
2. Navigate to the Study: Locate the room with your Oak Lectern. If you haven’t built one, do so now with 1 Oak Plank.
3. Inventory Setup: Fill your inventory with:

• 1 Soft Clay per tablet (up to 27 if using a servant).
• 2 Law Runes, 1 Soul Rune, 2 Blood Runes per tablet (or use a rune pouch to save space).

1. Craft Tablets:

• Click the Lectern and select “Barrows Teleport Tablet.”
• Confirm the action; each tablet consumes 1 soft clay and the required runes.
• With 27 soft clay and runes, you’ll craft 27 tablets per trip.

1. Bank and Repeat: Use a nearby bank (e.g., Edgeville via Amulet of Glory) or a POH servant (e.g., Butler, 48 Construction, 500 GP per 8 items) to fetch more materials.

Each crafting cycle takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on banking speed and servant use.

Selling Barrows Teleport Tablets

Once crafted, selling your tablets turns your efforts into profit. Here’s how to do it:

1. Grand Exchange: Teleport to Varrock and sell at the GE. As of March 29, 2025, Barrows Teleport Tablets fetch 1,200-1,500 GP each, depending on demand.
2. Bulk Selling: Crafting 27 tablets per trip yields 32,400-40,500 GP at current prices. Sell in batches of 100-500 for quicker transactions.
3. Alternative Markets: Trade directly with Barrows runners at World 1 GE or via OSRS forums if GE prices drop unexpectedly.
4. Timing: Sell after major updates or during peak playtimes (weekends) when Barrows activity spikes.

Tip: Check GE price trends daily to sell at peak value.

Profit Analysis

Let’s analyze the profitability with a detailed table. Assumptions are based on March 2025 GE prices and optimal setups.

Cost Breakdown

• Soft Clay: 120 GP x 27 = 3,240 GP.
• Law Runes: 180 GP x 2 x 27 = 9,720 GP.
• Soul Runes: 220 GP x 1 x 27 = 5,940 GP.
• Blood Runes: 280 GP x 2 x 27 = 15,120 GP.
• Total Cost: ~750 GP per tablet, 20,250 GP per trip.
• Lectern Cost: One-time 250 GP (Oak Plank), negligible over time.

Net Profit

• Revenue: 1,400 GP x 27 = 37,800 GP per trip.
• Profit: 37,800 – 20,250 = 17,550 GP per trip.
• Hourly: 30 trips (with servant) x 17,550 = 526,500 GP/hour.

Without a servant, expect 20 trips/hour, yielding ~351,000 GP/hour. This method rivals high-end money-makers with minimal risk.

Tips and Efficiency

Maximize your profits and streamline the process with these strategies:

1. Hire a Servant: A Butler (48 Construction, 5,000 GP hire, 500 GP per 8 items) fetches materials from the bank, doubling your trips per hour.
2. Rune Pouch: Store runes in a pouch (e.g., Large Rune Pouch holds 16,000 of 3 types) to free inventory space.
3. Bulk Crafting: Stockpile 1,000+ soft clay and runes to craft uninterrupted for hours.
4. POH Optimization: Place the Lectern near your portal entrance for faster access.
5. GE Price Checks: Use the GE Tracker or in-game price checker to sell at optimal times.
6. Energy Management: Wear Graceful gear or sip Energy Potions if running between bank and POH manually.
7. World Selection: Use a low-lag world (e.g., 300s) to reduce delays in crafting animations.

By implementing these tips, you can push your hourly profit toward 500k+ GP, making Barrows Teleport Tablets a top-tier, low-risk money-making method in OSRS. Whether you’re saving for a Twisted Bow or just enjoy passive income, this method delivers consistent rewards with the right setup.
