Bandos boots

Bandos boots are part of the Bandos armour set, which requires 65 Defence to wear. It is dropped by General Graardor and his sergeants in the God Wars Dungeon. It has the second strongest melee defence and highest ranged defence for boots, and is one of only three pairs of boots that have a prayer bonus, among White boots and Holy sandals.

These boots are the odd one out of the Bandos armour set, as the chestplate and tassets sacrifice defence (albeit a small amount) to give strength bonus. This is the reason why most players, even while wearing a Bandos chestplate and Bandos tassets, will usually wear Dragon boots or Primordial boots instead because they give a +4 or +5 strength bonus respectively for a negligible loss in defence (in the case of dragon boots) while also having fewer negative bonuses. This is probably also the reason why the price of Bandos boots is relatively cheap compared to other Bandos armour. Players commonly use Dragon boots instead of this with other pieces of armour. Because of this, full Bandos commonly refers to the Bandos chestplate and Bandos tassets and not the boots, because the frequency of using them is very low.

It is commonly used for protection against Bandos followers. Wearing these boots will prevent followers of Bandos from attacking players in the God Wars Dungeon.

On the 16th of April 2014 it was polled that a +20 ranged defence bonus be added to Bandos boots, and this poll failed by only 33 votes, getting 74.8% yes votes instead of the 75% needed. It was re-polled with a +15 ranged defence bonus instead, and passed.
