[color=limegreen][b][Combat][/b][/color] Training Combat - Armoured Zombies
Zemus:
HELLO MY NAME IS DATZEMUS AND THIS IS MY GUIDE TO ARMOURED ZOMBIES.
Armoured zombies are one of the best places to train in Rune$cape.
• They are undead, so salve amulet can be used for 20% bonus strength/attack
• There is an altar very close, so you can turmoil/piety 100% of the time, or if you're lower combat you can use protection prayers.
• They drop charms, and some decent noted items making them somewhat profitable
• And lastly, they're very easily afkable - so no excuses ##

What to take
Basically you want to prioritise Attack/Strength bonuses as much as possible.
Salve amulet is a must if you have it, and bonecrusher/Herbicide is some nice bonus prayer/herb exp too.
The prayer potions are not nessecary as there is an altar close by, though i choose to bring them so I can AFK even moreso without bothering to click the ladder for prayer. Lower levels may opt to bring food instead, or just leave space open for loot.
Refer to the below table if you still aren't sure what gear to take.
Helm: Neitiznot > Berserker > Warrior
Plate: Bandos > Fighter Torso > Rune
Legs: Bandos > Dragon > Rune
Shield: Dragon Defender > Rune Defender > Dragonfire Shield > Obsidian Shield
Boots: Steadfast > Dragon
Gloves: Goliath > Barrows-Addy (RFD) > Regen Brace > Combat Brace
Amulet: Salve Amulet > Fury > Glory
Cape: Kiln Cape > Fire Cape > Skillcape
Weapon: Chaotic Rapier > Whip > Sara Sword > D Scimmy
Tips
• For a cheaper alternative to super strength pots, bring a Dragon Battleaxe for the spec, then sip a restore & super attack potion.
• Like other aggressive npc's, they will go passive after 15 minutes. Climbing up/down the ladder for prayer will reset the timer.
• It's not multi combat here so fighting familiars won't help you, however a bunyip can be handy.
• From picking up the noted drops here, you can make upto 200k gp/hour
