GWD setup

[mlskid]

I've never really done GWD before, but since the new boss nex just came out, i was curious as to how I might go about obtaining the kill count and the drop count necessary to get into the room. I just want to get in and train killing on the kills before Nex, cause I know i will die at nex. =p :thumbsup:

you will die very quickey if not istantley at nex train your combats first via slayer or armoured zombies or other methods of your choice. good luck trying to find a team to go with at your lvl

Sorry, I guess i didn't really make my intentions clear. I don't plan on going and being in a mass for nex or anything like that, but I want to go and kill the zaros minions in hope of the ceremonial clothings that are worth like 1m each =p :thumbsup: If I still should train for that let me know what stats i will need, and remember i do have extremes

Don't listen to the above, I did fine and I'm only a few levels higher than yourself. However I have turmoil so you'll need to bring more healing as you can't ss. A bunyip would be nice.

 

First I recommend you take your regular melee gear - bandos, barrows etc. Make sure at least one item is bandos (borrow the chestplate if you have to). Bring a saradomin arrow in your arrow slot and equip a zamorak item (or the other way around) such as an unholy book.

 

Now you basicaly go into the lairs but not the bossrooms - take ppots, combat pots, perhaps a little food. You need a hammer and two ropes to (ropes are one-time) get into the encampments. Going into the Zamorak area drains your prayer so I'd do that last (don't pot up prayer until you're nearly out, use piety).

 

What I did was simply whack orcs in Bandos's area (requires hammer, can drop once you are in) until the first piece with turmoil+ extreme set. I got the piece, was at low prayer then went Zamorak. Same story (spiritual warriors, werewolves). Then Saradomin, killed some priests (protect mage!). You need to use ropes to climb down.

 

Finally you need to kill aviansies with ranged. this requires a mithril grapple as well (to get in). Void deflector + armadyl chestplate is best (borrow the plate, it also protects you).

 

Only minions inside the encampments drop pieces.

Okay, thanks. So a possible setup would be my barrows armor, then at least a god item from each faction. Next my inventory would have two ropes, a grappling hook, a hammer, then the rest filled with my eee for healing with spec, sharks for more healing and about 7-8 pray pots? Would that be a decent setup?

 

I came up with this setup:

Helm - niet

necklace - armadyl pendant

cape - soul wars

ammo - sara arrow

weapon - korasi's sword

shield - Unholy book

Torso - Guthans

Legs - Guthans

Boots - bandos

gloves - barrows

ring - ROL

 

Is this alright?

Well there is absolutely no reason to use an armadyl pendant as you'll encounter them only briefly when going to other rooms.

 

I recommend splitting your killing into a melee and a ranged trip. The melee trip needs no armadyl item and no grapple. Other than that it's a good setup, the rol is not really neccesary but ok if you need the confidence :).

 

EEE spec + a few monks should really do in Guthan's, it's tough stuff :P.

 

For ranging, pray protect from ranged when in the eyrie. Without an armadyl item you can slightly afk the kills (NOT near any spiritual mages).

Okay, thank you VERY much for your help. I am just waiting on the bandos boots to buy before I start my trips, =D i can' wait to use the new trollheim teleport tabs :thumbsup:
