Possibly a defender is a rare drop from Cyclops? [locked]

I don't think they're a rare drop. On one of my other accounts, It took me about 3 hours from 0 tokens and bronze to rune. Rune defenders should not be considered a rare drop.

Cyclops in Ardougne Zoo and the God Wars Dungeon does not dropping a defender.

we're talking about the cyclopes in the warriors guild. not the ones elsewhere. The ones in the warrior's guild are the only ones that drop defenders

If I lose the defenders, go back to bronze?

Yes, if you lose al your defenders, you have to start at bronze again. If oyu only lose rune and keep addy, you start at addy

It depends on how much you're carrying and what those items are. If you are like wearing rune armour and a dragon weapon, you are most likely not going to keep the defender even if you use Protect Items. Because defenders are untradable, they don't really have a value, so they cost less than most of the other items.

Ahh... Ok.. To enter the Warriors' Guild, your Attack and Strength levels must over 130 or more or a player achieve level 99 in either Attack or Strength to get a Skillcape and hood for 99k.

That is correct, so according to the signature you have, you should be able to enter it since Attack and Strength add up to 140.

Under 130 in Attack and Strength levels, the players cannot be enter in the Warriors' Guild?

Owen1892 · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2010, 5:11 am

That is right as well, if you noticed for someone that got 99 Attack or Strength, some of their friends who don't meet the requirement can't go in to see their friend get the skill cape. Hope that wasn't too confusing. :oops:

1000 Warrior Guild tokens and foods are recommended? Potions are not recommended? Is that correct for killing Cyclops until get a defenders?

Cyclops are very easy to kill and are relatively low combat level.
Bring potions only if you want to speed it up a bit.
I was around 80 combat when I got my rune defender and didn't need to bank much. Only about 2 times or so.

Of course, bring full inventory of food.

The two main variations of cyclopes may be found in the Warriors' Guild. To get inside the Warriors' Guild, a player's Attack and Strength levels must add up to a sum of 130 or greater. In order to enter the Cyclops area, located on the second floor, a player must gain at least 100 Warriors' Guild Tokens. When inside the room, 10 tokens are used up every minute, and the player must leave when the tokens run out.

A single cyclops is caged in the Ardougne Zoo, but it does not drop defenders.

Level 81 cyclopes inhabit the God Wars Dungeon, but these too do not drop defenders.

Very well, 1-5 hours to get a Rune Defender from Cyclops? If I have a Defender on my bank, can I get another metal Defenders? I have an Attack and Strength of 140. The Defenders are off-handed weapons that are wielded as a shield slot. Defenders can be wielded on the PvP areas but you will lose all your items (including Defenders). The Defenders has a Strength (except Bronze and Iron), Attack and Defence bonus

You're answering your own questions lol.
Yes, you can have multiple defenders in the bank.
