Guide The Four Bandit Groups Of Almuj And Their Items

Hello!

Have you been trying to find good accessories and items for your level 30-40 character, but to no avial? Then this is the guide for you!

There is a lesser know set of accesoires which can only be collected by very specific means. It is called the Bandit Set, and it is what this thread is all about. I'll provide Coords for all the locations mentioned, and you can look up the stats of the items i talk about on the official Wynncraft website under the "Help" and "Item Guide" selection. Let's start

What is the Bandit Set?

The Bandit Set is a set that consists of 2 rings (Bandit's Ring, Bandit's Knuckle), one bracelet (Bandit's Bangle) and one necklace (Bandit's Locket). It is focused on Loot bonus, XP bonus and stealing. As with all other set items, you get set bonusses depending on how many parts you've collected. The bonusses are as follows:

1 Item: No bonus

2 Items: 3% XP bonus, 3% Loot bonus, 1% stealing

3 Items: 6% XP bonus, 6% Loot bonus, 3% stealing

4 Items: 10% XP bonus, 10% Loot bonus, 5% stealing

Each part of the set can only be droped by one of the bandit, so you have to
travel all over the Almuj Desert to collect each piece. All the groups also have non set items which only they can drop. You should pick these up while farming for the set, as some of them are decent. Anyways, the tribes are named as follows:


The Emerald Knives
Coords: 1324 -1747
Special Drops: The Bandit's Bangle (Set Bracelet) Emerald Knife (Rare Dagger)
Mobs: Ranged and melee

Both the ranged and melee mobs of this cave can drop the Brace, however you should be a bit cautious when you grind in the cave, as Coyotes, a mesa mob, sometimes drop down into the the cave and attack you.


The Quicksand Carvers
Coords: 974 -2106
Special Drops: The Bandit's Knuckle (Set Ring), Quicksand Crossers (Rare Boots)
Mobs: All mobs are melee with around 1060 health

The Carvers are pretty simple. There are one kind of mob that spawns here, all of them are melee attackers and they all have an equal chance of dropping thier two special items.


The Shadow Spears
Coords: 1360 2169
Special Drops: The Bandit's Ring (Set Ring), Shadow Spear (Rare Spear), The Juggernaut (Rare Chestplate)
Mobs: Outside the building, there are both ranged and melee mobs. Inside the building there is only tanky, slow melee mobs.

The drops in this camp are a little confusing. Both mobs inside and outside the building drop the ring. The mobs outside can drop the shadow spear, while the mobs inside cannot. The mobs on the inside can drop the chestplate, but the mobs outside cannot. If you want the ring, farm the mobs outside. They are easier to kill and less tanky.


The Sandstorm Vandals
Coords: 1442 -2021
Special Drops: The Bandits Locket (Set Necklace), Randall's Leg Plating (Rare Leggings) Vandalizer (Rare Dagger)
Mobs: There are both ranged and melee mobs here, as well as a boss. The boss has 60k health and he is the only one of the bandits that can drop the leggings. All the other bandits, including the boss, can drop the locket.

The Sandstorm Vandals are by far my favorite tribe. All the bandits have different names and they have left messages all over their hideout. Randall, their leader, dreams of making a grand heist on the Almuj Bank. Hilda, a member of the group, is a huge booknerd, and is rather philosophical. Gertrude is more of the stereotypical gangster an so on. I really advise you to look around their camp and read all the signs. They also have an art gallery where all the bandits made paintings that reflect their personality. You can see alot of work was put into the place. Even if you don't need the gear, drop by sometime.

(This is my first real thread on here, so feel free to vote above to tell me what you think about it)

rarity is better?

 

Yeah, but not everyone has a rarity. Those things cost alot of LE, which everybody can't afford. See this as the budget version for people who are on their first or second character, or simply don't have the emeralds

 

no like is the set combined at max better?

 

Ah sorry, i read that sarcasticly. With max ID's, plus the set bonus, the whole thing would give you 29% lootbonus, 26% stealing, 7% melee damage and 10% XP bonus. Not better than two rarities in terms of XP bonus, but it's pretty amazing considering the other cheap options there are at that level are pretty mediocre

 

Try killing all the sandstorm vandals, you missed something.
@Selvut283 ARE YOU HAPPY NOW

 

Fixed

 

For XP, no. For Stealing and, in particular, Loot Bonus? It's phenominal.

Also, for fuck's sake finally someone found the goddamn Sandstorm Vandals! They've been there for ages and it's only just now that people are finding them?!

 

i'll stick with my old keepers which kick me down to 1 hp in 2 seconds

 

i just didn't give a shit xd

 

I've known about them for months, just didn't bother to post about them until now XD
