Barbarian Training is a miniquest in which players learn how to train their skills as the Barbarians once did during ancient times. Barbarians train their Fishing, Firemaking, Herblore and Smithing skills far differently from the rest of the RuneScape world. To some, these methods may seem unorthodox — perhaps even a bit extreme — but the advantages are worth it!
