Bows Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Dragon looks better and doesn't give a strength bonus, and it's like 500k cheaper. Bandos is around 1m with a small strength bonus, and looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuall Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Bandos have +1 pray and +1 stab, slash and crush defence Dragon have +4 str. Attack bonus difference are only for mage and range (therefore not worth considering). Only other factor is what they protect over (B high alch = 15k, D High alch = 12k) and bandos favour in GWD give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandos is around 1m with a small strength bonus, and looks horrible. That's completely opinionated. Also they don't have a strength bonus at all, you're probably thinking of the prayer bonus. 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandos Boots are also more expensive and can be used as a Bandos item in the God Wars dungeon. You can log out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Zaaps1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 There's really no reason to ever used Bandos Boots. If you are praying, White Boots offer the same prayer bonus and are practically free, albeit a little hard to buy without the White Knight Ranks. Not that +1 prayer is that big anyway... The extra defense isn't worth considering. It's minuscule. And for GWD? Take a dip in the Bandos pool at Oo'glog. 30 minutes is more than enough time to get to GWD and get 40 kc on anything. Dragon boots are cheaper and better offensively. Why would you ever want Bandos Boots? ~It's Super Effective!

Sir_Squab Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't know, it looks better with full bandos? And that +4 str is really overrated tbh....(then again, +1 def won't do much either) Personally, if I actually got bandos armour, I'd probably get the boots to go with it. Squab unleashes Megiddo!

It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

And that +4 str is really overrated tbh....(then again, +1 def won't do much either) Personally, if I actually got bandos armour, I'd probably get the boots to go with it. If you think about it, however, +4 str is actually a pretty good deal. For +4 str, you could: -Slave away at BA for a Torso-Cough up 22m+ for a BCP-Cough up 4m+ for a Berserker Ring None of which are also the best equipment in its class. Torso is trash defense, BCP isn't as good as barrows, and the Berserker Ring is usually not used in favor of the Ring of Life, Onyx/Dragonstone (i), Warrior (i), or the Ring of Wealth. Although it is worth noting that the Berserker Ring (i) is the best ring for typical training. Thus, if you look at your other options, +4 strength for 300k is an extremely good deal, and comes with great defense bonuses as well, which none of the above 3 can boast when compared to alternatives. ~It's Super Effective!

If you think +4 str for 500k is overrated, then how would you justify +1 prayer for 1m+Besides, I think D boots look better then B boots with bandos armour. As already said, there's no reason to get Bandos boots.

Zaaps1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Bandos boots don't give ranged defense. http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2item_id=7102 ~It's Super Effective!

Infi Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 A while ago I wanted to buy Bandos boots to bring it for GWD protection against the followers and also for its range defence.. that is until I figured out that it doesn't have any ranged defence :wall: Considering its counterparts have the highest range defence for non degradable armour, it really should have ranged defence. It would be really useful over Dragon Boots at Solo Bandos and DKs if it had say, +20 range defence or so >_> One can hope.. 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiel Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 There is no reason to ever use bandos. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Looks is very subjective, but as dragon boots aren't really good looking i'd say bandos boots look better. Other than that, they are useless. First to 99 Farming on 27.

Ddude42 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 There is only one thing I ever used Bandos boots for, and that was to tank-range Aviansie with Full void. Otherwise, Bandos boots are truly a waste of your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why did you use Bandos boots for that? give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
