November 6, 200817 yr I'm looking to a few godwars dungeon trips, probably Bandos since I'm a beginner. I've been a couple of times before, but I was using ranged. There's no way I can afford a godsword, and my stats probably wouldn't be suited to soloing, so I'll probably be looking for a team. I've got most of the general stat requirements - 70 prayer and summoning, 90 defence and 115 combat - but I have no idea which items to buy. My actual stats: 81 attack 83 strength 91 defence 75 magic (defence against the mage minion, I guess) 75 ranged (useless) 70 prayer 70 summoning I have about a 6m budget, so which items are more important than others? Pretty much every thread in the RSOF requires a godsword, but surely a whip would be moderately helpful... Right? Of course, that raises the problem of actually finding a team. And am I likely to ever actually find a team, seeing as I'm a beginner? Everyone had to start somewhere, but even I wouldn't want me on my team.
November 6, 200817 yr What about W6 Bandos? Sort of free for all Bandos Bashing to get you started, try to find a team from there. Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...
November 6, 200817 yr I would suggest full Verac if you are not tanking, don't tank anyways lol. Inventory, Hammer 16 Sara Brew 10, 10 sup Restores, 1 hammer, Teletab. 3 Bunyip/unicorn pouch and 1 Summoning pot to swap with 4 brews if you have them. You team will guide you on what to do, get them from either Runescape forum (not recommended), clan chat 9 (eg Forsakenmage), of course you are probably going to mess up, so swap like 5 sharks for 3 brew and 2 sup, just to be safe. When Bandos boss respawn, your team should be standing at 1 corner, the tank stand by the respawn point. Don't attack the boss until the boss starts hitting the tank. Pray against range. After boss is dead kill the mage first, then the rest either way. Other than that, its pretty easy. Goodluck on your monster hunting, any question PM me here kai?

November 6, 200817 yr I've always heard that the whip works just fine. Imagine how they did bandos before people had Godswords :
November 6, 200817 yr Just a whip is seriously fine. At 97 attack and 81 strength I hit constant 30s :) "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti

There is no way his range max is 35! Maybe it was glitched, but I swear I saw a hit in the high 50's when I lagged after he spawned! (The tank had him occupied already)
November 6, 200817 yr his range max is 35. but you can be piled by the mage/range and melee sergs for lots more then that if your unlucky Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning
November 6, 200817 yr his range max is 35. but you can be piled by the mage/range and melee sergs for lots more then that if your unlucky I am sure I saw ONE hit that was in the high 50's... Unless they started stacking hits in to one little bubble, I am positive his max is higher than 35...

November 7, 200817 yr Author Ok, thanks for the help guys. I'll definitely take a ROL, mostly in case I get piled by the minions. Do teams usually get annoyed when you tele out because you're about to die? The verac skirt + d'hide body seems to make the most sense, as I'll need the mage defence. I don't think I'll risk my firecape, and a fury doesn't seem worth the 2.5m I'd stand to lose, but apart from that everything looks fine. And the strategy is simple enough. As long as the mage and melee minions both hit me for like 25 twice in a row, I should be fine. Is there any need to pray if Graardor is dead and the three minions are all piling me? I'm guessing mage or range prayer would be best.
