I'd recommend keeping the armour, but taking around 20 p pots and 4 sharks with you. It's a bit more pricey, but you can stay at aviansies for hours longer, don't need the zam bracers either, if you stay near where you grapple, but don't cross, you'll generally not be bothered by them. I get anywhere between 500 and 1000 bars when I go with an inv of pray pots
