Do not, do not, do NOT make untradeables as your main source of exp. Make them in small amounts to avoid having a [cabbage]load of wealth invested in way more potions that you can use in any span of time. Basically, all you people with 4k extremes sitting in your banks... You see all those millions that those extremes had cost you? Yeah, you could have just made brews and spent the leftovers after selling them on something that would let you make money faster.

Wearing Guthan's means you get hit by Graar's AOE attack nearly 100% of the time. That's the OPPOSITE of what the tank is meant to gear for.

Now, I had left the game for a four-year break while GWD, summoning and tasks were released so, assuming GWD came before both, Guthan's tanking may have been reasonable at the insant of release. My question is why the hell this is still a suggested tactic for Bandos GWD on the RS wiki. I'm aware of the wiki probably being second only to the runescape knowledgebase in terms of misinformation but this simply seems so glaring that it should not be allowed to exist by anyone with more than a couple of brain cells to rub together. My question is this. Am I free to get rid of this informational equivalent to a steaming turd or is there some secrret behind this that I haven't quite grasped yet?

No, you don't need more. It currently costs 100m from 77 prayer. You have 80.

Yes, I sold my Fury and zerker for extrenes since having extremes would allow me to make the 14-15m for the fury and zerker much more quickly than the zerker and fury would allow me to make 15m for extremes.

Ugh. I was originally going to add a note to the end of that post agreeing with that point but I forgot since I was multitasking. You're right. Standard market guidelines apply, of course.

Don't get Bandos until you have everything on this list. in order. Full slayer helm doesn't occupy a space but should be acquired ASAP. Dragon boots Dragon defender (Not bought, I'm aware) Barrows gloves 60 prayer Proselyte Ardy cape 70 prayer 80 atk + Chaotic rapier Berserker ring Fury Soul Wars cape 89 herb Seers' Elite 89 in melee and ranged for an extra point from extremes 91/92 herb 95 prayer

Use a sacred clay hat and r scim for training until you can afford a brackish blade or d scim. None of the other dragon weapons are worth it for training at your level over the sc bonus with a r scim. The hat is chosen because it will later be used for magic training using soul rune spells. In the mean time, work towards 70 atk for a whip and Sara sword.

In my several years of using barrows, I have not once had to budget for the meagre degrade cost. Of course, you'll dump Verac for prossy after a certain def landmark but it's still amazing both for cost and in near-endgame utility.

I'll get to work on that wiki article.

Brackish blade, dragon boots, dragon defender, 60 prayer, proselyte, Ardy cape, 70 prayer. That's the optimal order for you to get all of the big targets for your level.

That makes sense. Neit it is. Just had a VERY successful 2 hour+ camping trip. I honestly think my tort was spawning food since I practically left with more than what I started with. Ended up walking out with a 9.6m tassets split and bought myself Karil's top with it.

I pray range since my friend tanks with a chaotic but your advice still stands for the minions. Thank you.

Since you're advising tank gear, which I'm assuming to be barrows hybrid, I'm going to pull back to my other thread and ask this. Verac or Neit?

Some solid advice, Spawn, but some of it's not very relevant to me. My only interest at Bandos is maxing DPS for as much anticrash as I can get without turm since my duo trips with this friend have all been a successful on the armour front so far, even though we're majorly experimenting (He's near maxed but he's only ever soloed before). It's the same deal the TDs, really. I can last for upwards of twenty kill per trip using void and ovls so, once again, my only interest is maxing my DPS with what I have right now. Does anyone have any comments on the DPS of barrows hybrid vs void?

Could I just confirm that #4 takes into account G-Man's alleged weakness to slash?

First of all, I do not have turm. I've recently acquired ovls and ze rapier and will probably be infatuated with bossing for a week before getting bored and going back to dg for the rest of my life. While I'm in this phase though, I have some glaring questions. I have so much to do and so little time! 1. Tormented Demons. To ovl or not to ovl? 2. TD hybrid setups. I'm currently using void with a deflector and runite bolts. Is this optimal or should I switch to void gloves + ddef/Karil xbow or Verac/Karil hybrid with Karil xbow? 3. Bandos duo DPS. I am uber-welfare right now so a hally will be my spec weapon (What I meant to say was "crash me pl0x"). I will definitely use void so I'm currently torn between d def and barrows gloves. D def seems the intuitive option since the hally specs will benefit from void but I still don't quite know how to quantify the -13atk/+6 str difference between the two options. 4. Rapier. Slash or stab vs The Big G? 5. While discussing tactics with my Bandos partner, I came up with the idea of food-bombing the boss room by suiciding with a full inventory of food and getting blessed. Is there anything that would stop this from being an extremely effective tactic for prolonged stays other than crashers? We Bandos during unsociable hours so crashers aren't a huge problem for us.

I understand the applications of this type of helm. I'm just perplexed as to why you would sacrifice so much def for 2 points of ranged accuracy.

But Verac's attack penalties are miniscule. Is the def really worth trading off?

Could someone explain to me why Neit is generally recommended over Verac? Are the slightly reduced penalties and +3 str really worth it over the def when bossing?

It has amazing DPS. People just don't seem to realise that.

Rush them all. The only significance is which ones you rush on C6. As for that, a good rule of thumb is to C1 your first 75% until you get to Abd2, at which point you'll C6 24+ until you unlock the entirety of Abd2 or something close. From there on, 5:5 everything Abd2+.

This, this and definitely this. Along with this, 90 ranged with chins is fast and also not very expensive. You'll find it useful for quite a few bosses.

I commend you on a good post.

But it's a sunk cost. It's only beneficial to invest sunk costs when it is impossible to acquire commodities on demand. You can make extremes when you need them. If you stockpile, you'll have millions of gp just sitting in your bank doing nothing while you spend ages trying to get through them. All that time, it could have gone into prayer or something that actually increases the speed with which you gain exp/money.
