Check your private messages.

 

 

 

OT: What are your combat stats? You don't have to go all out to handle Arma.

 

 

 

Head: Robin/Karils hood

 

Body: Sara D Hide

 

Legs: Karils bottom

 

Weapon: Rune Crossbow

 

Ammo: 200 Mith Emerald(e) and 200 Mith Diamond(e)

 

Shield: Zammy Book

 

Cape: Accumalator

 

Necklace: Arma Pendant (switch to Glory/Fury once inside)

 

Ring: Archer/Life/Wealth

 

Gloves: Barrows

 

Boots: Ranger/Snakeskin/Dragon/Rune

 

 

 

Now, depending on how skilled you think you are can determine how much wealth you want on your carcass. I have seen the best of the best get KO'ed. It can happen to anyone lol. It takes awhile to get your Kill Count back up if you want to get back to retrieve stuff so take all that into account. For instance, I don't see alot of people with Robin/Ranger sets. Instead they opt for the cheaper Karils hood and Snakeskin boots. You can also switch out any part of the Top/Bottom/Hood with a Sara Dhide item if you choose. Bring a Glory/Fury for when you get into the boss chamber so you can hit harder. Some think the Ring of Wealth helps, others don't. When I go, I personally use a Life Ring. It has saved my [wagon] several times. And lastly, depending on how much you want to flux your Defense and Range Bonus determines which boots you go with. I personally use Snakeskin boots for the Bonus and if I die, its not my Ranger Boots.

 

 

 

*Phew*

 

 

 

Hope that helps...

Afterthought: Terrorbirds/War Tortoises come in handy for this GWD Boss. Extra Supplies and Extra Defense never hurt anyone...but Arma.

77 att

 

77 str

 

84 def (gonna get 1 more for now)

 

94 range (shall have 95)

 

69 prayer (getting 70 now)

 

75 mage

 

89 hp

i have karils set, sara, ranger, robin, archer ring and fury, i only usually use my karils for mith drags and kbd, sometimes net goes proper laggy though which can cause my only real problems, and the occasional dumb idea gone wrong

[asianboy7o7]

you need to raise your mage to like 80

[baileydafrog]

for defence reasons or to attack with mage? :S

[asianboy7o7]

defense

 

 

 

you havent been to armadyl ever?

[baileydafrog]

never been any part of gwd, never thought any of my stats were anywhere near good enough other than range, i so hate mage!

[wioneo]

Sell the Robin and get an Arma helm. It's better in every way, if I remember correctly. Also, Arma really isn't as dangerous as some of the others(you really won't die unless you're not paying attention/lag) but I still wouldn't risk taking in ranger boots. I just use snakeskin.

[baileydafrog]

eee few 100k short of it at the moment, does it hold over other items?

[asianboy7o7]

are you talking about armadyl helm

 

 

 

im pretty sure it doesnt its high alch is 12k

[sweetvictory]

armadly helm is 4.2mil market price rite now

[craven_range]

Wow, don't listen to Ixindor, it's obvious he's never been.

 

 

 

Head: Robin/Karils hood

 

Body: Sara D Hide

 

Legs: Karils bottom

 

Shield: Zammy Book

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That would be great, if your defence level was around .. 99.

 

Get a granite sheild, A Verac helm and Skirt. If Kilisa is on you, you will be nonstop chugging brews with a weak defensive setup. Do not underestimate kilisa. If you must not have that much defence, then swamp granite sheild for Zammy book.

im pretty sure he isnt soloing so why would he need all that melee defense

 

go in a 4 man your first time get kill count on aviansies

Well that's just completely wrong, yes you should underestimate Kilisa as he is pathetically weak compared to the other two(Geerin might get a hit or two in if someone misses their assignment).

 

 

 

That is a generally good setup, except that I use karils top for the extra magic defence. barrows gloves protect over armadyl helms, so I take sara bracers instead(which have higher magic defense and only 1 less range bonus), and they also nullify the damage you would take when you enter.

 

 

 

Karils hood is complete rubbish. An archer helm is actually better than it, if you can't afford an Arma helm, I suggest that you use Veracs and a pendant.

 

 

 

You obviously don't need range defense at all(if you're not praying you will be dead), and the most damage comes from Kree's blue magic tornadoes(Wingman gets some hits in too).

[craven_range]

I will agree, Skree is more deadly than Kilisa. But if you have kilisa on you for even 1 entire kree kill, you will really feel the hp coming off. Then again, i don't normally 4 man. I go 2 man Max, so my setup might not be so right. but defninitly don't waste money on Karil's coif etc

 

 

 

And get a dfs if you can afford, its THE best sheild for Armadyl.

Well I don't go on duo trips, but on 4 man teams. Kilisa will not be on you for very long, he spends most of his time floating around uselessly, so the melee bonuses on a DFS wouldn't help you much. that leaves the 10 magic defense...I'll take 8 ranged attack, 5 prayer, and the ability to wear karils top over blessed dhide over 10 magic defense. I'll bet that there is a bigger difference than 10 points between dhide and karils...so that's all negatives for me.

 

 

 

In duo or when soloing, I can see how a DFS would be better. Definately when soloing, I've personally experienced that fat bird's pecks near the ends of trips...and it's not fun to get hit by.

[craven_range]

DFS has on of the best mage defence in the game? How can it be a negative

[asianboy7o7]

best melee defenses

 

 

 

-5 range atk

 

+10 mage defense

 

 

 

 

 

karils top +15 mage defense over blessed dhide

 

zamorak book +8 range atk +5 prayer

 

 

 

you want mage defense and range atk

So it ends up as -5 magic defense, -5 prayer, and -13 range attack as opposed to zamorak book/karils top unless i mixed up something. I'm eating while I type this, so not my fault :lol:

[craven_range]

You can still wear karils top if you have Dfs, just use zammy bracers.

Then you can't wear sara bracers and most people would have to walk(I can run because use the spa) while saradomin monsters attack them.

 

 

 

This could be resolved by wearing a stole, but he needs the pendant, so that is out.
