Soloing Armadyl

[TheKoolKandy]

I want to make some good money and I know I could if I go solo armadyl but I've never soloed before. I've done a trio once or twice and been on a team a couple of other times.

 

Yes I know I have 85 range but I do have overloads which boost my range lvl up 106 and it can be used with brews which works great and should mean good solos.

 

The thing I would like to know is what a good setup would be. I have about 42m that I could put into supplies and gear I just need to know what it is. I think I know what the inventory would be more or less something like 8 super restores, tele tabs, brews and other things like god items for KC. If someone does have a good setup for using overloads (as in inventory) I would love to know it but I doubt theres that much difference from a normal inventory. I think I might be going on a bit repeating the same things.... so overall point I would like to know the gear and to a lesser extexnt the inventory.

 

Thanks for reading and the replies. :D

you dont really have the stats for armadyl...85 range and 78 mage are not helpful there.

I'd go with 2 OVL's 2 super rests 6 ext. prayers rest brews. tort with brews to start off, switching to uni. Ruby+diamond bolts (e) and broad for kc. Dont forget EE if you have it.

 

for gear go with verac's helm, accumulator, fury/glory, dfs/BSS, karils/black d'hide top, zammy chaps, jester/snakeskin boots, barrows gloves, rcbow, explorers/life. bring an arma pendent for KC.

You would be so much better off soloing bandos with your stats, where you would be a top tier player. Arma might have more valuable drops, but also requires longer kc time and is slower to kill. Your range is average, your melee is really freaking high.

Overloads bring my ranged level up to 106 which would make it better then someone with 99 range if they didn't have overloads and it also brings up my mage but not sure if that acually would increase my mage defense. I solo bandos just fine with that mage level, also. So my point being that I THINK I would do good enough. If you don't know, which I would think you do, overloads keep your stats boosted to those levels so you can brew. The brew does bring it down but as long as you aren't spam drinking them the overloads and maybe a sip of super restore will work just fine for keeping my stats boosted. (just putting that there for comments on my low range :P)

 

Also Zephy I have been soloing bandos but I've been having bad luck (not like armadyl will be much better but oh well) and I just can't seem to do very good soloing bandos because if I want to acually solo well I'll need alot more pricy gear then I have money for. I was acually thinking of soloing armadyl for a bit, seeing how that goes maybe get money for better bandos gear, then solo bandos with some really good gear.

 

On a side note I'm also doing armadyl to switch things up a bit because I'm getting really bored of the same old things over and over again. Anyways I'll see how this all goes and I'm still open to more suggestion on the topic of soloing armadyl.

 

Thanks to the people who have contributed so far. :)

 

I'm also going to bed now so if more people post I wont get back to you till tomorrow but still feel free to post away.

 

BTW 500th post. :P

Not saying you can't do arma, but bandos is so much more in your favor. With your stats gear really isn't that big a deal. I mean, I assume you have the basics like barrows and whip, but the really elite stuff is overrated. Granted, overloads help your range a lot, but they help your melees just the same. At arma, you'll be pretty average (rougly on par compared to a 95 ranger with regular pots). At bandos, you'll be really really good (only turmoilers with overloads would do better in terms of power). Arma hilt is worth several bandos hilts, but every bandos armor piece is worth more than the corresponding arma piece significantly.

 

So in summary, you can solo arma just fine, but it will be nowhere near as good as bandos or even maybe zammy.

 

I hear sara is good. Maybe you should try that instead if you want a change but still gwd.

 

Alternatively, go chin 95 range if you're so set on arma. It's a real pity when your amazing boosts are backed by a less than amazing base stat.

You suck bro. Just do bandos <3

If your heart is set to solo Armadyl, I'd recommend atleast doing a few more trips in a group to get a better feel of it. I'm sure a bit more experience won't hurt a bit at all.

 

I would honestly recommend getting 90 range before soloing as well; every level counts, even with overloads.

[miracleman58]

Even if you had 85 Attack, Str and Defence with overloads you wouldnt consider soloing Bandos who is relatively easier than Armadyl.

 

So why bother soloing Armadyl with 85 Range?

 

I mean you keep going on about it but seriously wheres the logic?

[TheKoolKandy]

Sorry if this comes off mean because I'm in a bad mood but I did not ask people to tell me to solo bandos because I know how to, I have done it many times but now I would like to solo arma. More precisely I asked for a good set up to go not people saying my range fails because I know that already. If your going to tell me to solo bandos ATLEAST say something on topic instead saying doing arma is stupid.

 

Where's my logic? My logic is that I want to do something different and have fun is that to hard to understand? Maybe I wont like soloing arma, I don't know yet but I'll have to go and see.

 

Personally I hate soloing bandos and as I have already said. I want to solo arma for some fun not for pure profit. If I wanted to make alot of money I would camp green dragons, collect summoning second or something else like that. Don't tell me what I can and can't do its my account and I want to have fun not grind.

 

So my point being please stop telling me this is a stupid idea, help me or don't post.

 

(Rant over, please don't take it to personally I just had to say it.)

 

Anyone else with suggestions for setup and such feel free to post.

I've never solod armadyl before, but look at this guys blog, he has a few setups that you could adjust your stats and money to buy gear to.
