Armored Zombies 180k xp/hr Combat Training Guide [video] AKwaspRS

Armoured Zombies offer incredibly fast afkable XP rates for all players looking to train combat stats, whether low-leveled or high-leveled. The key to this fast training is that the zombies themselves are only lvl 85, near an altar, aggressive, and weak to slash. The weakness to slash makes your best scimitar or abbysal whip or even chaotic rapiers extremely accurate for fast kills. Moreover, the nearby altar offers easy prayer regeneration for lower leveled players who may opt for protection prayers, and strength, chivalry, piety, turmoil etc. for everyone else. Their constant aggressiveness makes training afk effortless, while their undead nature makes the salve amulet super effective.

Access to the Armored Zombies is unlocked during the Defender of Varrock quest, effectively setting the requirements at: 59 mining, 54 smithing, 51 hunter, 51 agility. With such low requirements, relatively low leveled players can powerlevel on these monsters. Additionally, these lvl 85 monsters yield 340xp (str/att/def) + 113xp (health) = 453xp per kill resulting in xp rates well over 150k xp/hr for higher leveled players. Check my supporting video for timed trials verifying these rates.

Armored Zombies are undead and therefore the Enchanted Salve Amulet increases player's attack and strength by 20% when fighting. This bonus stacks with Void Knight armor, effectively granting a total bonus of +10% Damage, +69% Strength, +50% Attack and +25% Defense, making 2-hit KO's a frequent occurrence for high leveled players, and greatly increasing damage output from weaker players. Check my supporting video for obtaining the Salve Amulet (e).

My recommendations for equipment are illustrated in the video, but generally wearing full Void melee with the Salve Ammy (e) and your best weapon/ defender combination will result in devastating results. If you find yourself getting hit too frequently through Void robes or simply dislike wasting prayer potions, high defense armor like Bandos works wonders while only minimally reducing your effectiveness in exchange for greater afk-ability. If your defense is too low, try protection prayers coupled with some proselyte armor or monk robes. Remember to turn on "auto-retaliate" and bring a bonecrusher or herbicide if you've got them. While overloads are best, extreme potions or even super potions are very beneficial to bring along for added damage.

The real benefit of training on these zombies now is that in a few months high leveled players won't be here since the combat rework will reduce experience for anyone lvl 135+ so it's best to max out those combat stats today! On the flip side, you'll be able to utilize dual weapons and new abilities powered by adrenaline.

Your math is way, way off on the bonusus. "+10% Damage, +69% Strength, +50% Attack and +25% Defense" is simply not true or even accurate.

 

If you're maxed & overloaded, the strength increase is somewhere in the vincinity of 9 + 1.23 * 10% * 1.2. E.g. turmoil base boost, turmoil variable boost, void boost and salve boost.

Yep, I call b.s.

 

You are more accurate on Vyrelords/ladies, hit higher, and they have higher life points. At max strength and gear they cap out at ~150-160 k xp/hr. There's no way that you can break the 120 k mark at AZ's. On top of that you don't even have the best set up which would be void+deflector and subbing in rfd/goliath gloves.

 

I already hate video guides (you'll notice that there are NONE in the AoW) and this one is at best misleading with its exp rates.
