I've done a few 100 solo's, nothing yet :wall:

Added the information about Curses vs Normal Prayer. Use Ctrl + F to find it :) Welcome, in this guide I shall atempt to teach ya'll how to tank like a pro I have had lots of experience tanking, so I know what I'm talking about :lol: Quest Requirments: Troll Stronghold Quest Recommendations: Edgar's Ruse As A First Resort... All of Recipe For Disaster Another Slice of H.A.M (that's only if you haven't dont As a First Resort...) Stat Requirements (needed/minimum/recommended) Attack: 70/80/85+ Strength: 70/80/85+ Defence: 70/85/95+ Hp: 70/80/90+ (note that if you have 99 Defence, you can effectively tank with lower Hp) Prayer: 43/60/70+ Range: who cares, you dont range when you tank Mage: ??/60/80 (to reduce mage's hits on you) NOTE YOU MUST HAVE 70 ATT STR AND DEF, you will find out later on :P If you've never been to God Wars Dungeon, you shouldn't tank, but for those who don't care, this is how you do it: Firstly you teleport to the top point of the Troll Stronghold. You can also use the teleport trick, which is that you teleport to the stronghold with another trollhielm teleport in your inventory, drop TWO (2) items (not the runes), teleport to the bank using another means of transport (such as a glory/explorer's ring) get out another TWO (2) potions/food and teleport back to the trollhielm, pick up the other TWO (2) items and you have a full inventory. The black lines are where you go, follow them and you will be at the red circles, PRAY RANGE WHEN YOU GET TO THOSE RED CIRCLES if you don't want to end up in lumbridge/camelot/falador, and when you get to the big boulder, go through the crack next to it, if you can't go past the boulder, then go to the big hole in the background, watch out for the wolves as well. As soon as you get down there, depending if you have a Saradomin item or not, pray MAGE, if you do and haven't got a Zamorak item, pray MELEE Once you are down there follow this map: There is 2 spots that you can go to get your killcount, the 1st and probably the best (if you have a Zamorak item) is the red box, there is a few goblins there and even an ogre, so easy killcount. The 2nd spot is the green box, that is the spot you go to if you don't bring a Zamorak item, it has lvl 45 hobgoblins there as well as a jogre and a bloodveld (try to avoid him) If you have a Zamorak item, might pay to go south of the Bandos Stronghold entrance and kill goblins there near the avansies, if you get hurt by them, just switch to Guthan's Spear and heal off a jogre/ogre. Now for the SERIOUS stuff [hide=Preparations] OK, for when to prepare and stuff, go to Oo'glog, and hop in ALL OF THE POOLS, except for the mud ones, just follow the line in that picture and you'll end up in the bank[/hide] [hide=Inventories] This is the preferred Inv for most tankers, Bring a Restore:Brew ratio of 1:3, so bring 1 restore every 3 brews you bring If you forget your hammer and are already down in GWD, go and kill imps until you get one, if you don't have a Zamorak item, get a friend to run you a hammer down :lol: This is from best to worst: Head: Guthans>no replacement Torso: Guthans>no replacement Legs: Guthans>no Replacement Gloves: Barrows>Dragon>Black d'hide vamps>klank's gauntlets Weapon: Saradomin Godsword+Guthan's Spear>Armadyl Godsword+Guthan's Spear>Whip + Spear Shield: Elysian Spirit Shield*(Only use this is you are using whip, reduces range attacks by up to 15% I believe)>Dragonfire Shield(charged)>Granite Shield>Rune Kite Boots: Dragon>Snakeskin>Rune Amulet: Fury>Glory>Power Ring: Warrior>Berserker Ring>Archer Ring>Ring of Life (only recommended if it's your first time and you have backup tank) Quiver: None, because range fails when you tank Cape: Fire Cape>Zamorak Cape>Skillcape(t)>Skillcape *Note that the Divine Spirit Shield isn't recommended, even though it reduces hits by 30%, it takes 15% of your prayer away, and you kind of need your prayer, and Joe Da Stud pointed out that guthan's is better than the DSS on PAGE 5 Another note, that you can take enhanced excalibur if you don't have the money to buy/rent a SGS, just take the warspear and excalibur, the special restores 20hp and boosts your defence as well, so it's pretty usefull. Note that you need to do ALL of the Seer's Achievment Diary to get acsess to it. You may want to add around 1k mind and air runes into your inventory somewhere, as clicking on air strike, then clicking on Graardor will work nearly all the time, and save your team mates from getting bashed. If you have 94+ mage, might be usefull to invest in some vengenace runes, because it will make quite alot of difference, (never tried this yet, so don't complain to me if you die because of it). Inventory: Restore:Brew ratio of 1:3 GUTHAN'S SPEAR VERY IMPORTANT NEVER EVER TANK WITHOUT IT Hammer Trollhielm teleport runes (2 fires and 2 laws) A TELEPORT OUT, ALSO VERY IMPORTANT (reason why I don't have one in my inventory is because I keep forgetting) Familiar Inventory: This is for the 52-66 summoner, all it is, is just your normal inventory except with 3 extra pouches and less brews and restores This is for the 67 summoner, basicly it's just like the terrorbird's inventory, except it holds an extra 6 spaces. This is for the 67-78 summoner, its basicly the same as the last one, except you take out 3 spots and replace them with bunyips This is for the 88-99 summoner, it is just like the tortiose's inventory, but instead of taking extra brews, replace them with a few unicorns and put the scrolls INSIDE the turtle. DO NOT USE A PACK-YAK, OTHERWISE HALF OF ITS 30? SPACES WILL BE EXTRA POUCHES, SO IT'S JUST LIKE THE TURTLE LOL. [/hide] Ok, you'd be screwed if you didn't know what to do wouldn't you? That's where this part comes in: [hide=How to Tank] When you're going to tank, stand in the red square, as Graardor spawns in the purple/blue square and you can get to him easy and not let your team mates get picked on. ALWAYS pray melee after about 20 secs after you kill the last midget, he hit me a 67 because I put range pray on lol, always try and get the steel darts of the people that get them as a drop, they can help lots as you can attack from where the mage spawns and you don't waste time getting to the mage. As soon as you attack Graardor, put Protect from melee on, it is suggested that you have quick prayers enabled to these: You can take piety off if you want. When you have Graardor on you, RUN straight to the mage (Steelwill, he is in the South East corner) and wait for Graardor to attack you with melee again, if you're damaged, chuck on piety, and SGS spec the MAGE ONCE, if that didn't heal you fully, switch to your Guthan's Warspear. When Graardor is dead, and if you are damaged (which you most likely will be) run straight to the Range guy (forget his name lol) and heal on him, if any of your team mates attack him, spam off, but if they do attack him, they can't have been to Bandos.[/hide] [hide=Normal Prayer vs Curses] Curses should only be used if you have Soul Split, which is at 92. After the boss kill, turn on Soul Split, and continue healing on the ranger like usual, it SHOULD give you full HP. If you don't have 92 prayer, it is completely up to you whether to use Curses or Normal Prayer.[/hide] [hide=The Bandos Update] If you are tanking, you don't need to do anything, because if your familer is attacked, Graardor will attack you and that really helps when you miss a spawn or you lag. But make sure your team knows what to do, get them to set their left click on the summoning icon to "Call" that way they can keep clicking that during kills, and the player doesnt stop attacking which is good :D. Hope this helps with your Tanking[/hide] The Rewards: The Bandos Hilt Bandos Chestplate Bandos Tassets Bandos Boots Godsword Shards 1, 2 & 3 Along with some other junk :lol: [hide=My Loot While Tanking] Plus lots of other crap lol[/hide] [hide=Peoples Loot Using My Guide] All 3 from JoeDaStudd[/hide] If anybody sees any spelling errors, please notify me, I'm not a dictionary And constructive criticism is also welcome :D GOODLUCK AT TANKING :thumbsup: [hide=How to activate Quick Prayers]It's fairly easy Right click the prayer icon near the mini-map and then click the set quick prayers and set it to whatever you want, but in this case put it to protect from melee and protect item.[/hide] [hide=Player Credits]Cantristenon (Unicorn & Pack Yak info) Smobo (For the ring's and cape info + the dart method) Pureprayer (spelling error) Red_fat1 (for the transparent rewards) Abc1230 (spelling error) Daxter76 (for teaching me how to spell Graardor lol) Kepp1 (for the enhanced excailbur thing) Bladewing (spelling errors) Chris924 (Air Strike Method) The_Great_One (Imp killing method) JoeDaStudd (Alternate killcount method) UmaDeLuz (Veng Info)[/hide] Credits: JaGeX - Giving me moneys/Making Godwars (see Loot Tab) Tip.It Forums - Giving me info about stuff on Bandos Randoms I've been to Bandos with - we all win Randoms who I've borrowed SGS off - you're a life saver YOU - for reading hopefully :lol:
