Soloing Bandos

Featured Replies

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about soloing bandos, but have a few questions...

 

 

 

1.What is the best familiar for me to use? I have 70 summoning.

 

 

 

2.Whats gonna be the better option for me, whip+defender, or trying to borrow a BGS from someone?

 

 

 

3.How many kills per trip do you think I could get with 93 str, 91 atk, 85 def, 93 hp, and 63 prayer?

 

 

 

Thanks guys.

99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

Pureprayer, you're awesome.

1.) War tortoise

 

2.)Personal preference although people say whip plus defender is better at maxed melee but give both a try I would say.

 

3.) Your defense is quite low for soloing so maybe 2-3 kills (don't take my word for it).

Whip + defender is better at all soloing stats.

What's more worse is that he can't use piety. So I'd definitely say not over 2

Yeah soloing really isnt as easy as it looks. with my stats i find it hard to get a kill. For Solo i would suggest 95 str, 90atk and 90def. 70+ prayer and 80mage. Dont even try solo without it coz you will be wasting time'

You might not be skilled enough, in the nicest way possible. I don't think I'll ever be able to solo bandos, unless I had 99's in everything lol. I'm not the type of person who likes to get intense on Runescape and do like tons of clicking. I am lazy like that :P.

 

 

 

And On topic. You should try to get atleast 90 defense. And remember defense doesn't lower the dmg you take, it merely gives you a better chance of forcing your enemy to hit a 0. There should be a guide in the AoW, though I forgot who the author is. I think it's Toast647. Look it up, its helpful and gives you recommended stats and equipment and all that good stuff.

 

 

 

Good luck.

3.How many kills per trip do you think I could get with 93 str, 91 atk, 85 def, 93 hp, and 63 prayer? I can manage 1 kill easily but piety does make a bit of a difference. I would say 2 at the most.

 

 

 

Thanks guys.

Pureprayer, you're awesome.

with 98 atk 99 str 77 def 70 prayer and a turtle i get 1 kill with maybe 2 or 3 sharks left over when i use a whip and with ags i cant even get 1 kill so i would train def and use whip to solo

Can anyone confirm this theory.

 

 

 

Whips are faster than Godsword's, but surely, when eating every 2 or 3 hits, the speed of how fast the weapon hits consecutively will no longer be a factor in efficency of killing bandos. so, in effect, the more accurate and higher hitting god sword will come out the prodominetly better weapon.

 

 

 

i rest my case.

No, but I can list 6-7 people who can dispute your theory including me.

Whip is only better with high attack (95+) other then that use a godsword as you will hit alot of zero's with a whip, and if u do use a whip, use a dfs first, if u easily get a few kills then try a defender.
