The tale of the noble bandit that takes from the rich and gives to the poor is far away from reality. The usual Bandit does not care whom he is robbing as long as he is able to gain something of value for himself. Actually in most cases, the poor are those that are worst prepared to defend themselves and so have become the preferred victims of bandits. Bandits are armed with a variety of weapons, their armour has usually been plundered somewhere. Always avoiding the city guards, they set up their hideouts in the wilderness, often close to streets where they are feared as highwaymen. Involved in all kinds of illegal activities, they can be found in the service of all kind of persons that want some dirty work performed. Some even stand in the service of some head Bandit who has managed to suppress some remote area or village.

Magic: 30/30
Kill: 40/40
Econ: 50/50
Bandits aren't much harder than wild warriors. They often appear together with wild warriors and smugglers. Bandits are a bit stronger than wild warriors and got more hitpoints. You shouldn't use magic at them since it's waste to use magic. Just use meele at skils 40/40 and with a weapon that got 30 or more attack. Dark cathedral and bandit camp is good if you going to kill many bandits. The experience is nice and you shouldn't so much. They are starting to get economic at skills 50/50. The problem when hunting them is luring. Hunter can be lured at the bandit camp, orc riders, war wolves to dark cathedral entrace and GS to Lorbas house. So it can be dangerous to hunt them sometimes.

Kill: 8
Level: 15
Level 8+: Bandits aren't hard for paladins. They are a bit easier then wild warriors since wild warriors are fast and bandits are slow. However bandits usually take longer time to kill. Bandits are a bit waste at this level. Use arrows at them. The problem when hunting them is luring. Hunter can be lured at the bandit camp, orc riders, war wolves to dark cathedral entrace and GS to Lorbas house. It can be dangerous to kill them sometimes.
Level 15+: Bandits are good to level on at level 15+. You can go to dark cathedral or bandit camp and hunt them without much problems. The only problem when hunting them is luring. Hunter can be lured at the bandit camp, orc riders, war wolves to dark cathedral entrace and GS to Lorbas house. So it isn't very safe to hunt them sometimes.
Mage hunting guide.
Items needed for (a safe hunt):
* 1 BP of manafluids
* 1 BP of LMM runes
* 1 BP of fireball runes
* 1 BP of IH
* Some blank runes
Introduction: You don't really need to have a blocker while hunting them. But you should get a blocker at lower levels.
Hunting with blocker:
As soon as you get your first wand/rod you can go kill bandits with blocker. You don't need any strong runes but you can take some weak runes with you to kill bandits faster. The blocker should know how to do in case if you find lured creatures like hunters, GS and orc riders. It won't be waste for the blocker to block bandits. Use 1 or 2 manafluids in case if your mana runs out.
Hunting solo:
Bandits aren't hard to solo. Just run from it while shooting your wand/rod and maybe LMM if you want to kill it fast. Watch out since some creatures can get lured. Bandits often give nice loot. Bandits can become your money makers. They can often damage much in close combat so don't try to stay too close. Use IHs or healing spells to heal yourself. If you find a group of bandits, wild warriors and smugglers then don't panic. You can kill them fast using fireballs and shooting your wand or rod.
Safety rules:
* Always keep your backpack of manafluids and IHs open.
* Always use FB if you find a group.
* Always take manafluids with you. Don't even think about not taking it since your mana can run out fast.
Attacks.
Close combat.
A bandit’s close combat isn’t that powerful, though when you don’t have much equips on it can you hard. Bandit can make up to 70 damage with the close combat. But not to worry, the defense a Bandit has got isn’t also that good, you can kill it quick.
Flee from battle
When a Bandit turns red, he starts running for you, it seems like that his robbery has failed. They don’t heal so run after them and kill them.
No other attacks right?
Creative with hunters
Bandits make there name sure true. they are brutal thiefs!
