Armadyl Solos

[GuidesForScapers]

Hi,

i was PKing the other day and i kept coming across divine prods my level, Tzhaar Own/Hans Da Tank. I was asking them how the hell they made enough cash for their gear/divines and Tzhaar said Armadyl solos.

 

I was watching some videos on YouTube yesterday, it seems that with the right gear and anywhere above 75 defence, it is possible to solo armadyl successfully. I have enough cash for decent gear, i was thinking of using this set up:

-Verac's Helm

-Verac's Plateskirt

-Karil's Top (I thought that this may be a good, reasonably priced, option instead of Armadyl Chestplate as it gives Magic defence for the minion and still gives a decent range bonus)

-Holy Book - Spirit Shield to switch to

-Zamorak Bracers

-Armadyl Pendant - Glory to switch to

-Ruby (e)s

-Diamond (e)s

-Dragon Boots

-Ava's Accumulator

-Ring of Life

 

My one question is, could i do it with my range level of 86? Everyone that i have seen in any videos has been 99 range, which i can't afford any time soon.

 

Also, if there are any issues with my set up, please let me know.

 

Thanks.

I would say at your range level and your defense (never explicitly stated, so im just guessing here) that you should kill something else for money or do something else.

I have never attempted to solo Arma personally, but I hear it is one of the more difficult bosses to solo. I would guess 90 range, defense, and mage before trying to solo. You could try to join a team and get some experience with GWD (and maybe a little cash) before soloing.

Thanks for the comments.

 

I've decided to train up my range to 90 - 95. Also, i'm going to trio/duo before i begin. I may also be buying a spectral to help with my Magic defence, although with Karil's and 99 Magic, i think i will be able to do pretty well against the mage minion.

 

I don't feel that defence has a huge effect on soloing Armadyl, the only reason i can see for having a high defence level is getting killcount and when Kree melees. I will try with my current defence, and if i have no luck i will train it up to 90.

If you need some money for supplies, you can train range through slayer, here is a link to a range slaying guide. Also, if you have 70 agility, or less if you dont mind the extra running time, ranging blues in the members dungeon isnt bad money.

You could get a kill but not a steady profit, I think.

To everyones knowledge, Dragon boots doesnt give any ranged bonus, and gives - ranged attack bonus, so you'd be better off by using snakeskin or infinity boots. The little extra melee defense doesnt make up for the ranged atk bonus and magic defense.
