Nar's Guide to Duoing General Graardor Hello, and welcome to my first guide. This guide will show you how to duo Bandos in non lootshare worlds. This guide will not show you anything else :wall: . [hide=Introduction, Why Duo Bandos]In my Opinion, duoing Bandos is one of the best ways to make money in Runescape. The rare drops are worth tons of money, up to around 15mil for each person if you get a hilt. Also you will rarely leave the boss room without profit unless you get crashed or something has to leave early. Duoing also means less hassle for finding a team, and since you are in a non lootshare world, you wont get crashed as much as Bandosing in a large team.[/hide] [hide=Requirements]In order to attempt doing this, you will need relatively high stats. Here is what I suggest: Requirements: 80 Attack, Strength, and Defence 80 Hitpoints 70 Prayer (to bless graves, to use piety, and less usage of prayer pots) A partner with those stats also Recommendations: 90 Attack, Strength, and Defence 90 Hitpoints 70 Prayer (to bless graves, to use piety, and less usage of prayer pots) A partner that you will trust to not run away with rare drops and lie about them[/hide] [hide=Note on Splitting Drops]Without lootshare, how may you split valuable drops you might ask. Most people I duo with split their drops through Bounty Hunter. You get some Saradomin/Zamorak/Guthix Rune armour sets, go into F2P Bounty Hunter, and just kill your partner until you both have a equal share of high value drops. Also some people will elect to share the regular drops such as snapdragons or rune armour too. Be sure to make a log of the drops if you are doing this, and find out how much each person owes. This is NOT against the rules. The only way this would be against the rules if there was real world money involved.[/hide] [hide=Killcount]Before you can enter the Boss room, you must kill 40 Bandos creatures. The easiest ones are Goblins which are north of the rope that brings you down to the God Wars Dungeon, though you need a Zamorak item. If you did not bring a Zamorak item, you can kill hobgoblins south of the boss room[/hide] [hide=Tanking Setups and Strategy]Whip Setup: Verac's Helm>Helm of Netiznot Amulet of Fury>God stole>Glory Fire Cape>Trimmed Skillcape>Obsidian Cape>God Cape Whip>Nothing else Karil's Leathertop>Armadyl Top>Black D'hide Top Verac's Skirt>other Barrows legs Dragonfire Shield>Obsidian Shield>Granite Shield Dragon Boots>Bandos Boots Warrior ring, Beserker ring, or ring of wealth (not ring of life, if you tele Graardor will target your partner and might cause him/her to die.) Be sure to have a Bandos item (which is the ancient mace in my setup), and a Zamorak item will speed up killcount.

When the sargents are dead, stand on the east wall with protect from melee prayer and piety on. When Graardor spawns, attack him as soon as possible, and do not let him get on your partner. Continue to kill him and repeat the cycle until you are out of supplies. Then tell your partner to tele out, and click on your teletab.

To get a full inventory into GWD, withdraw 5 law runes, 4 fire runes, and 5 air runes. Tele to Trolleheim, drop 2 items, then tele to Camelot. Fill your inventory with everything you need but those 2 items that you dropped earlier, tele to Trolleheim again, and pick up the items you dropped earlier. Tanker can bring Guthan's and heal on the Sargents when Graardor is dead. The Oo'Glog pools are a great place to visit before you start a trip. Just go into each of the pools, and you will have extra hp, prayer, unlimited energy for the next 20 or so minutes, and best of all: you don't need a Bandos item if you go into the Bandos pool. If you want, have 1 person bring potions and 1 person replace those potions with sharks. Share the potions since you will probably not use all 4 of the doses. Super Attack, Super Strength, and Super Defence mixes can be substituted with the 4 dose non mix variants. They are 2 dose each and heal 6 hp when each dose is drunk.[/hide] [hide=Notes and Stuff]This is my first guide and I will appreciate any constructive criticism, feedback, and advice.
