Armadyl Solo

[yuyu13]

93 hits, 96 defence, 87 range, 71 prayer, 79 summoning. Would I be able to solo effectively (2-3 kills)? Also, what gear? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[gorgoroth]

yeah you should be able to fit in a few kills.

Simple setup i like is:

 

Verac helm

Ranger Boots

BSS

Fury

Zammy Chaps and Dhide

Archer Ring

Barrows Gloves.

 

Invo would be:

 

TeleTab

Grapple

Ruby + Diamond bolts

E E

1 Spare Tortoise Pouch

Fill the rest of your invo up 1:4 Restores to brews (also your tortoise).

[yuyu13]

rofl. I'm not rich like you. I have maybe 10-12m to invest in this.

[Darkvengence]

Not sure on how many kills you would get as I never soloed until I was already 99 Range and Defence.

 

I'm getting KC for a duo right now and the inventory is pretty much the same as my solo one so I'm going to post it.

 

-I have Ruby Bolts (e) equiped

-Replace the Prayer potion with another Super Restore

-300 Bolts is over kill for a solo but I like to take a lot

-I have 17 Brews and 1 Unicorn pouch in my Tortoise (Replace with Fruit Bat if you don't have Unicorn)

-Try to keep about a 3:1 brew/restore ratio with maybe one extra restore

-You can choose to take an EE but I personally don't like it for solos

 

 

-Replace with whatever you have/can afford (If you can only afford one Armadyl peice I would suggest Armadyl skirt and Zammy D'hide Top)

-Zammy item is not completely needed but it's nice to have

-Depending on what you wear it might be a good idea to replace Fury with a Glory because Fury protects over a lot of the more expensive stuff

[gorgoroth]

rofl. I'm not rich like you. I have maybe 10-12m to invest in this.

Well then use a Normal spirit Shield, Snakeskin Boots, Torags Helm, Zammy Chaps, Black Dhide body, Ring of Life, Fury, Barrows Gloves.

 

Its the cheapest alt Setup.

[Darkvengence]

If you're low on cash soloing Armadyl won't help unless you get a drop, I lose roughly 300k-400k each trip for 5-6 kills.

[Cactuaar]

If you only have 10-12m to invest into this, then just substitute some of the expensive equipment for some cheaper alternatives. For example, try:

 

Torag's Helm

Snakeskin boots

Dragon square or granite shield (you don't really need range defense because you'll be praying range, so the dragon square is the next best thing to blessed spirit shield I think)

Glory Amulet

Black D'hide body and legs

Ring of wealth or ring of life

Barrows gloves

 

and of course a rune crossbow and ava's accumalator/attractor (whichever is the better one, can't remember).

 

This is "welfare" gear, but I dont' think you'll be risking much, and the only big change is the fury-->glory and the blessed spirit shield-->dragon square.

 

Basically a cheaper alternative of everything in gorgoroth's list of equipment, yet still effective. You'll have less prayer bonus and defense, but it should still be good. His inventory is fine, just bring broad bolts for the kill count, leave a space open for the bars, and bring a 1:3 ratio of super restore:saradomin brew. I'm pretty sure a 1:4 ratio would leave you with lowered range.

[Darkvengence]

and bring a 1:3 ratio of super restore:saradomin brew. I'm pretty sure a 1:4 ratio would leave you with lowered range.

 

Yup, if you do a 4:1 ratio at 99 Range it'll leave you at 93 ish Range, then keep going down.

[gorgoroth]

If you're low on cash soloing Armadyl won't help unless you get a drop, I lose roughly 300k-400k each trip for 5-6 kills.

Geez then you're doing something very wrong. On my trips i take 10 Super Restores (200k), 30 Brews (120k), 100 Ruby Bolts (60k) and 100 Diamond Bots (120k). I only end up using about 50 of each bolts. Total of 410k per inventory. Picking up the Adamantite Bars from your KC (Usually its 1:1 meaning you get atleast 40 Bars) is already 110k money you make back. Already cuts your loss to just 300k. Then you get atleast 50k from 3 kree kills. So thats a MAX loss of 250k (which is unlikely. You should lose very little every time you solo. I myself have solo'd alot and everytime i come away with a small profit).

[Lacoste]

If you are looking to be cost effective and make the most out of you money, don't solo, find a team/duo/trio. Then once you can afford the best gear and can play around with some cash i suggest soloing.

[gorgoroth]

and bring a 1:3 ratio of super restore:saradomin brew. I'm pretty sure a 1:4 ratio would leave you with lowered range.

 

Yup, if you do a 4:1 ratio at 99 Range it'll leave you at 93 ish Range, then keep going down.

Yeah sorry, i meant 1:3.

 

Nvm it is 1:4.

 

Sip Sara brew down to (1) dose, sip Restore brew dow to (3) dose. Sip another Sara brew to (1) and the same Restore brew to (2). Anoterh sara Brew to (1) and yet again the first restore to (1). Now sip all the remaining (1) dose Sara Brews and the remaining (1) Super restore. Your stats will be unchanged and you willl have maintaned a 1:4 Ratio.

[yuyu13]

Thanks for the help. I might look into rebuying a BSS, as I greatly prefer it to the Dragon Square. Already have fury and Guthan's helm, which I'll take instead of torag's helm. I'll try to borrow an armadyl top, zammy chaps, wealth, snakeskin boots. Only question now is how many bolts. Would 200 of each be enough?

 

EDIT~ I see Gorgoroth said he takes 100 of each, but how many broads should I take for kc? I am also aware that I will often not make any money or breakeven. This is mainly for fun with a chance at a nice profit.

If you're short of cash, don't do this, it's extremely rare to get a drop, and if you're short of budget then you'll end up losing more, just do Aviansies, they're pretty good cash

 

On the setup

 

I use a 1,2m risk setup

Verac's Helm

Amulet of Fury

Ava's Accumulator

Mithril Grapple

Rune Crossbow

Unholy Book (Zamorak One)

Armadyl Chestplate

Karil's Skirt (As I'm 99 Def, if not then swap this for Saradomin Chaps)

Saradomin Bracers (If you took the karil's skirt, if you took the saradomin chaps, then barrows gloves)

Snakeskin Boots (Yes, I don't like risking a lot on boots considering my power dies randomly)

Ring Of Life

 

Inventory:

200 Ruby Bolts (e)

200 Diamond Bolts (e)

100 Broad Bolts (For KC)

Spare BoB Pouch (Either Yak or Tortoise)

Teleport Tab

2 Prayer Potions (For KC, kill the lv 71 and 74 inside the Eyrie

12 Saradomin Brew

9 Super Restore

 

Inside Tortoise (As you don't have Yak)

16 Saradomin Brew

2 Super Restore

 

 

I do about...5 solos with that, I'm 99 Ranged, 99 Defence, 99 Hitpoints, 90 Prayer, 96 Summoning (I do about 9-10 kills with the yak)

 

 

I don't really think you'll solo effectively as you're 87 Ranged, but I think you could pull about 2 kills a trip, maybe 3 with a little luck

 

(I use Item Protect, Ranged Protection, Steel Skin and Eagle's Eye prayers all the time while I'm in the boss room)

 

NOTE: You might end up needing more Super Restores, if I were you, I would get at least 94 Ranged first.

[Darkvengence]

Sip Sara brew down to (1) dose, sip Restore brew dow to (3) dose. Sip another Sara brew to (1) and the same Restore brew to (2). Anoterh sara Brew to (1) and yet again the first restore to (1). Now sip all the remaining (1) dose Sara Brews and the remaining (1) Super restore. Your stats will be unchanged and you willl have maintaned a 1:4 Ratio.

 

That makes like no sense lol..

 

A dose of Restore every 3 doses of Brew is a lot simpler and easier.

 

 

And about above losses I don't pick up bars because I very rarely get a 1:1 ratio, I would normally only get about 20-30, plus I don't have the room for them.

 

I use 10-11 Restores, 29 Brews, two Tortoise pocuhes, two Unicorn pouches, 25-50 Unicorn scrolls, 45-65 Ruby bolts, 75-115 Diamond bolts, house tele tab, 4 Law runes, 4 Fire runes

 

That's a total of 514k supplies used per trip.

And I've somewhat often gone a whole trip getting less than 50k loot, 50k is not guaranteed.

[Cactuaar]

 

Yeah sorry, i meant 1:3.

 

Nvm it is 1:4.

 

Sip Sara brew down to (1) dose, sip Restore brew dow to (3) dose. Sip another Sara brew to (1) and the same Restore brew to (2). Anoterh sara Brew to (1) and yet again the first restore to (1). Now sip all the remaining (1) dose Sara Brews and the remaining (1) Super restore. Your stats will be unchanged and you willl have maintaned a 1:4 Ratio.

 

In this example, you still have a 1:3 ratio.

 

Sara brew 1.) drink to 1 dose left. 1 dose left, 3 doses of super restore left.

Sara brew 2.) drink to 1 dose left. 1 dose left, 2 doses of super restore left.

Sara brew 3.) drink to 1 dose left. 1 dose left, 1 dose of super restore left.

Now, drink the final dose of sara brews number 1, 2, and 3, and then the final dose of super restore.

 

How is this a 1:4 ratio?

:wall: Never do math at 1am. Thats how you do it :D
