Barrows or slayer?

I’ve been comfortably doing barrows with almost no resource usage besides super attack/strength and karambean. I just finished 101 chests and have tank legs tank helmet (does Veracs helm count?) but no tank chest. I’m thinking about continuing until I at least have a tank top and hoping for an ahrims top or bottom (I have both of his other useless gear). How much time would I be saving per run if I had a sea trident instead of Ibans?

I didn't even go for barrows before trident. There is no big reason to grind it before trident. You can easy do all the slayer to 87 and beyond with rune/obby/dragon legs. Torso or proselyte for top is perfectly fine until you start higher lvl PVM.

Just get a trident. No real reason you need a tank top or ahrims for pre 87 slay.

Edit:to answer your question, trident speeds things up considerably when you consider 100s of runs. 5 tick vs 4 tick with same/higher damage makes a huge difference

Verac's helm is the best tank helmet btw. Guthans, Torags, and Veracs are all the same except Veracs has a prayer bonus.

Not much. Best to continue barrows for the gear you want before the slayer grind. Especially as the runes will afford you an onyx for fury which again will help slayer.
