Armadyl or Bandos?

[dragon246665]

Alright so I've always wanted to go bosshunting and now I feel like I'm almost ready to decide which boss to train for.

 

 

Bandos Pros:

I already have acceptable armor. (full void)

Easiest GWD boss.

 

Cons:

Many elitest teams demand having an ags and 130+ cb.

Drops tend to be on the lower range of the price spectrum

 

Bottom line:

I'm really thinking about bandos because being the poor person that I am I could really cut down on armor costs with full void.

 

Armadyl pros:

I have full void for fast training to 90 range

Many armadyl teams are less elitest about stats

No godsword required

Most expensive drop in the whole dungeon

 

Armadyl cons:

Most difficult boss in the GWD (So I've heard.)

Some teams demand very expensive armor.

 

Bottom line: I'm sort of leaning towards armadyl because of the potential rewards, but bandos is still a major contender as well. Feel free to suggest another boss too if you want.

Doing Armadyl in Void id goind go be a fail. Might not be that big of a fail but you're still gonna have to eat much more often. You don't need the best gear around, even something like Karil Skirt, D'hide body and Torags Helm with an Obby shield will be fine. I would go with Armadyl for the drops although Bandos might bet you some faster money.

Going for armadyl won't be a fail however it will be harder than doing the bandos boss. You could try to go to armadyl for more money in the drops you get, but doing Bandos will get you the cash you want faster than armadyl. (I've seen a level 93 solo bandos so you should have little or no problem with the boss)

If Armadyl is the hardest, then the rest must be pretty freaking easy. I haven't gone to Sara, but I'm pretty sure Armadyl's quite easy; though Bandos will always be easier :).

 

SO yeah I'd suggest Armadyl.

 

There's also an unbearably huge demand for Bandos bossing, it's pretty much impossible to find a good world. As for armour, just get like an Armadyl helm so you don't look like a noob using the pendant to protect you.

Sorry to be blunt, but void will SUCK with your stats. Void range is terrible at arma most of the times anyway. Not to mention, you really don't have the stats for either boss, and will have a helluva time finding either a good team, or keeping from being crashed.

People remember! I said that full void range is what I would use to train to 90 range, not what I would wear to Armadyl. Another thing to keep in mind is that I am not saying that I'm planning on going today, its just a long term goal.

You didn't say that in your first post. You said you had it for use at bandos.

I said I would use void melee at bandos, as that (from what I've heard/seen) is an acceptable armor to wear. Another question, would 70 prayer be a huge advantage at Armadyl, seeing as two of the stats it boosts are not even useable there?

Its only acceptable with AGS. You won't want to use it with any other GS.

[dragon246665]

Hmm...well I guess that settles it! Seeing as I am not a gazillionaire and cannot afford an AGS I'll just have to go for Armadyl to become a gazillionaire.

 

I'll be aiming for these stats:

90 range

85 defense

70 prayer (perhaps?)

69 summoning

 

And with a setup similar to the one mentioned earlier in the thread. Okay so my final question is...would it be difficult for me to find a coinshare group with these stats? Thanks for all the help sofar everyone!

[stonewall337]

Without top notch gear, it will be semi-hard to find a team. I have 89 range, but high def/prayer/summoning and top notch gear, but can't always find a team right away.

If you can get atleast 90 range you could make your own armadyl CS team just post on forums. Usually its easy to make CS teams, atleast for me it is.

Why did you miss zammy?

Bandos and Zammy are the easiest as long as you pray range/mage you'll only take damage from the minions.

 

Either one has there pros and cons so its really up to you. Personally I prefer DK's to bandos/zammy, but that was down to a lot of tanking at bandos (I'm talking 3/4+ hour trips 3 to 5 times a week for a month) and attacking zammy (KC and tanks are harder to get for zammy).

 

Which ever you pick get atleast 68 summoning and train for prayer to 70+. Summoning adds a lot of options and prayer allows you to bless and stay for longer (piety is ideal for getting rid of crashers).
