Bandos and Herblore

Featured Replies

Ok, well I got a fair sum of money now (about 40M + average bando supplies)

 

My question is an either or thing...

 

Would it be better to buy 86 herblore (potting to extremes) and solo bandos for the money back

 

orrrr

 

Solo bandos for more money (using my current money to buy uber good gear) and then do extremes later.

 

Currently I have karil top/tassets/whip/fury/zerker etc. I'd use the money to buy a dfs and borrow some claws.

 

If I got 86 herblore I would have extremes, but I would have to be without tassets and dfs...

Tassets and dfs are luxury items. Much more bang for your buck off extremes.

I find soloing bandos is only effective if you use overloads.

This you spend too much time banking and getting kc without them for only 5-6 kills a trip.

Whatever, I find it pretty fun. Right now I'm getting 4 kill per trip with rocktails and supers. I don't really mind because it's incredibly fun. Please answer my question and don't spam :angry:

Just buy the levels, item's can only help you so much.

Tassets and DFS are definitely superfluous unless you have 94+ herblore and 95 prayer, IMO. Get the extremes now and make the money back later.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

DFS isn't a superfluous item at Bandos solo. Granted, DFS is outdone by Rune Defender in most cases, but not solo Bandos. Extremes wont get you many extra kills at Bandos, and neither will buying a DFS. The major increase in kills/trip comes from having a yak, epic gear (Spectral+), Soul Split + Turmoil, or overloads, neither of which you have or can get with 30M.

 

I suggest just doing things as normal and cleaning herbs on the side for some easy exp. Once you solo enough money, buy Overloads or Turmoil.

Levels first. Rune defender and v skirt work just fine for your purposes.

Only shield i'd use is a spectral/divine/ely, Defender > DFS

 

The kills are faster to the point where you do get hit less.

 

 

And 3PM, Get overloads first, tbh.

Mmkai. I'm already 82 herblore. Extremes will have to do until I get more money for overloads =X
