November 2, 200817 yr Are the two really comparable? Isn't Bandos considerably better? Also, how are the crowds compared to Bandos? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 2, 200817 yr Bandos is easier to solo, that's why the drops are worth less.Arma is good if you have a good team.Bandos is more crowded than Arma.
November 2, 200817 yr Back when rsof had that specific thread for a boss, didn't you compare the # of post in the bandos and arma thread? Whats the ratio to d-long bandoers to 85 ragners
November 2, 200817 yr Author But which is better, with a team, or course. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]
November 2, 200817 yr Author Bandos is easier, less money.Arma is harder, more money.It's really up to you. Anyone confirm that? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]

November 2, 200817 yr Bandos is easier, less money.Arma is harder, more money.It's really up to you. That's completely wrong. bandos is much more profitable for the simple fact that it's almost 100% profit(except for the tank) especially if you have even at least 68 summoning. I take 26 brews and 10 super rests on each arma trip(each of which gets less kills than a bandos trip with a few ponies and monks), and then you have to add in the bolts as well. The ONLY time that arma is more profit is if you get a hilt(or I suppose that you could compare a helm to boots), because bandos armour is worth more. Bandos is crowded as hell though, and you're much more likely to run into idiots while there, so I personally preferr arma, but bandos is definately more profitable.

November 2, 200817 yr In a trio I have seen people last with a pony and 2 brews in inv for backup. Generally, I believe Bandos to be more consistant, as you spend less in supplies while getting faster kills which = more chance for a drop. Armadyl is slower kills, spending more in supplies, but the "bad" drop (helm) is worth alot more than (boots). Also, armour is worth far more in a team, as generally at bandos you do 4-6 person teams, while armadyl is 2-4. Other thing would be chance for a hilt (which is why everyone probably goes there =p) Anyway, my opinion is GWD is nothing compared to how GWD was during the summer, but that's just how things go. 99 Range on 08/25/08!Solo Arma Hilt on 12/06/08!

November 2, 200817 yr Wio pretty much got it spot on, I don't think there's anything else to contribute.
