Solo Bandos Help

[IHasChicken]

Hey,

 

I'm just posting right now seeking some help for solo bandos. I have 88 herby atm, but have 91 banked, and should be able to stew to overloads in a few short hours.

 

My other combat stats are 99 attack, 99 strength, 92 defence, 89 summoning, 75 prayer, 98 hp, 87 magic and 87 ranged

 

I'm just looking for some pro bandos hunters to okay my equipment set-up, and suggest for me a good inventory to maximise efficiency.

 

GEAR:

 

The gear I am proposing to take will be of medium risk, as it is my first time ever soloing bandos (I do however have quite a bit of experience FFA duoing)

 

HELM: Torag's Helm

BODY: Zamorak D'Hide

LEGS: V Skirt

NECK: Amulet of Fury

GLOVES: Barrows RFD Gloves

CAPE: Unsure about this one, not sure whether a trimmed skill-cape or a god cape would be better (I do not have a SW cape yet, and am not really willing to risk my fire cape as it would be annoying to lose)

BOOTS: D Boots

SHIELD: Obby Shield

WEAPON: Abyssal Whip

SPEC WEAPON: Dragon Claws

RING: Also unsure about this one, would a ROL be better, or does a warrior ring provide so much more effectiveness that it would be worth risking ~3m if i died?

 

INVENTORY:

I only have a vague idea about this, but I'd imagine i'd need to bring a tort with pony pouch + scrolls in my invent when I use the supplies in my tort (plus an extra tort pouch for timer issues), a hammer (of course), some overloads, some brews, some rests, and some spec recovers, plus some normal food if i get in trouble and don't want to spam-brew. However, I have no idea about the proportions of each item i'd need, so I would really appreciate any help if you have an invent that works for you.

Just a quick tip, do NOT take a rune def as the lack of defence will severly shortten trips, however i do reccomend taking a rune def in your invent incase crashers arrive. I would reccomend taking an obby shield, or a DFS if you have one.

I wouldn't quite mind shorter trips however, as the killcount for bandos is ridiculously easy to get, and from my past experience duoing, a rune defender seriously increases the speed of the kills themselves, and hence graar is alive for a shorter amount of time and you take less damage and can kill steelwill (the real pain in the [wagon] when bandossing) a lot quicker

 

Guess I could try both, and see how each of them goes, I don't have enough to afford a DFS atm, so I'd probably use an obby shield.

Rune defender really helps in duo, however it will really kill you if you are on solo.. I'd reckon you will get at least 3-5 more kills using a DFS over rune defender

[mujammil]

More like double the kills, seriuosly shield> defender in all cases of solo, but duo a rune defender is oubiously better if your not tanking.

Yeah, when I duo we alt tank, so I guess that gives us each time for pony specs to recharge and takes the heat off of us.

 

Guess i'll use an obby shield, and maybe buy a dfs when i get my first drop.
