Duo Bandos Guide

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.

 

 

 

Inventory: Teletab, HAMMER, 4 dose super set, 3 prayer pots, Bandos/Zamorak item if your arent wearing one, Bunyip/Titan with scrolls if you have the summoning level, rest sharks

 

 

 

Beast of Burden:Best Beast of Burden that you can summon filled with sharks

 

 

 

Strategy: Pot up, tell your partner that you are going in, and enter with piety and protect from melee on. Partner enters after you. Attack Graardor, eating when needed. After he his dead, proceed to kill the sargents. Kill the Strongstack last. Pray if they are on you. 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.

 

 

 

Godsword Setup:

 

 

Verac's Helm>Helm of Netiznot

 

Amulet of Fury>God stole>Glory

 

Fire Cape>Trimmed Skillcape>Obsidian Cape>God Cape

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.

 

 

 

Inventory: Teletab, HAMMER, 4 dose super set, 3 prayer pots, Bandos/Zamorak item if your arent wearing one, Bunyip/Titan with scrolls if you have the summoning level, rest sharks

 

 

 

Beast of Burden:Best Beast of Burden that you can summon filled with sharks

 

 

 

Strategy: Pot up and enter with Protect from Melee prayer, and attack Graardor. Use the special attack of the Godsword if it is not a Saradomin one. Eat as necessary. When you and your partner kill Graardor, proceed to kill the sargents, with Strongstack last. Pray accordingly if they are after you. If you have a Saradomin Godsword this is when you use the special attack if you have less than 20-30 hp above your max. When the sargents are dead, stand on the east wall with Protect from Melee prayer on. When Graardor spawns, turn on piety and attack him. Kill him and then proceed to kill the sargents. Repeat until you are out of supplies. Alert your partner when you are about to teleport.[/hide]

Beast of Burden:Best Beast of Burden that you can summon filled with sharks

 

 

 

Strategy: Pot up and enter with range pray and piety after your partner enters and gets Graardor on him/her. Attack the boss, using a special weapon if you have one, then switch to whip. Continue to attack Graardor, eating when necessary. After he is dead, proceed to kill the Sargents, with Strongstack last. Pray if they are on you. After the Sargents are dead, run to the northwest corner and put protect from range prayer on. When Graardor spawns, wait for the tanker to get him on him, then put on piety and attack Graardor with the tanker. When Graardor is dead, proceed to kill the sargents. Share food with tanker after the sargents are dead if he needs any. Repeat until one of you run out of supplies. Then alert your partner and teleport out.

Strategy:

 

Pot up and enter the room after your parter gets Graardor on him. Attack and spec Graardor if you have a Godsword other than the Saradomin one. Eat when necessary. When Graardor is dead, proceed to kill the sargents with Strongstack last. Then share food with your partner if he needs any. Run to the northwest corner and put on range protect prayer. When Graardor spawns and your partner attacks him, put on piety and attack Graardor. Eat when needed. Proceed to sargents after Graardor is dead. Repeat until you and your partner are out of supplies. Then tell your to teleport out.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Tips and Tricks]If you do not trust you partner, agree to take inventory screenshots before you teleport out to ensure that no one is lieing about drops.

 

 

 

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. I will add more to the Tips and Tricks section.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Credits]Jagex for making Runescape, all my duo bandos partners, Tipit for being awesome, Swiftkit for pictures, Imageshack for hosting, and me for writing this guide.[/hide]

[haz280]

Not to bad but try to get a few more pictures ;)

 

 

 

Why the karil's skirt? for non tank? :?

 

 

 

I would reccomend putting a brew and super rest instead of the super defence, a tad more defence but the extra hp can be helpfull.

 

 

 

Oh and no, bunyip is useless for duo :-#

[Musky44]

Nice guide naruto. Duo bandos seems simple enough with this guide.

[ghjkl]

It's simple enough without it but I cba to explain how to do it whenever someone else wants to come with me. :wall:

Transferring through bounty hunter is against TIF rules.

 

 

 

And those inventories are really bad. Plus Godswords are better

[ghjkl]

Point me to where it says transferring items through bounty hunter and I will remove it as soon as possible. I also stated that I will add godswords when I get mine back from a 16 hour loan. Instead of saying my inventory is bad why not suggest ways to improve it?

[toast647]

Because I was making a duo bandos guide

Because he is a [wagon]. :) Nice guide.

[Squisher_33]

wouldnt v helm or something possibly be better for tank since the extra 3 str bonus from net helm wouldnt make up for the 20+ extra def bonus

 

 

 

the guide is still young but try a larger variety of invos and setups and some summoning choices when you find the time

 

:thumbsup:

[nyyankees588]

sthu about toast all of his suggestions are better. Godswords are definitly better, possibly a whip and dfs would be better but you wouldn't hit that much. Also torag plate and helmet are better then what you have setup.

Can you not read the part where he said he would be adding a godsword section?

 

Toast, if you're going to flame you could have at least suggested something or not posted.

Added godsword setups and more tips and tricks
