THIS IS NOT MY GUIDE
I FOUND IT ON TIP.IT AND WANTED TO SPREAD THE WORD AS I MADE QUITE A PROFIT.
The Ultimate Aviansie Slaying Guide
The first aviansie guide and the most popular* player-made guide on tip.it forums, by Jordanweb.

Section 1: What are aviansies?

Section 3: Okay, where can i find these creatures?

Section 1: What are aviansies?
Aviansies are bird-like followers of armadyl that come in levels 69,71,83,89 and 137. Here is a picture:



Section 2: What's so good about aviansies then?
Although not many people know about them, they are the fastest way to aquire adamantite bars on your own in runescape.

From my trips i'd say that the rate of aviansies dropping 4 noted adamanite bars is about 1:4, making each aviansie kill worth 2.5k(Excluding supplies)!

Not only do they drop adamantite bars, but they regularly drop rune daggers and crossbow limbs which you can alch for 4.8k and around 10k respectively.

They are also relatively easy to kill, minimum requirements i'd say are:
60 Ranged
40 Prayer
60 Strength or Agility(Potting works and this is only to get past the boulder, neither skills help actually killing the aviansies)
Being past the part where you kill "dad" in the troll stronghold quest

A lot of people have asked how long a trip takes, from my own trips and what other people have told me it takes on average 2-3 hours to use up an inventory of prayer potions. Of course if you want the most accurate time then you'll have to take a trip yourself.

Section 3: Okay, where can i find these creatures?
Aviansies can be found in the south of the godwars dungeon.

To get to the godwars dungeon refer to my map:

Make sure to protect from range on the thrower trolls and bring a rope on your first trip so you can get into the dungeon!

Activate protect from ranged and go inside.

Ok, so you're in the dungeon, now just go south till you get to a geyser and then you're in the correct place to start killing aviansies!

Here is a map submitted by Theoknight2 of the correct place:

And Dwarven9177 has made a video of one of his trips, including the way he gets there, make sure to watch it!

Section 4: What equipment should i take?
This is an ideal setup for killing aviansies, and one that i have used:

If you do not have the requirements for these, use my below equipment guide:

Cape
Trimmed skillcape > God cloak > Ava's Accumulator > Anything

Hat
God Mitre > Neitiznot Helmet > Initiate/proselyte Helmet > Anything with a ranged bonus verac/archer/karil coif

Top
Monk robe top, anyone can wear it. karil/black

Legs
Armadyl Legs > Black dragonhide/3a Ranged > Penance Skirt > Red dragonhide Legs Verac skirt

Boots
Ranger boots > White boots > Snakeskin boots > Bandos boots

Shield
Zamorak Book > Guthix Book > Saradomin Book > White Shield

Gloves
Barrows Gloves > Your best dhide vambraces > White Gloves

Ring
Archer Ring > Ring of Life (Some people take a ring of wealth however i personally don't recomend it)

Amulet
God Stole > God symbol > Amulet of Fury > Glory amulet

Bow & Bolts
Rune xbow + Emerald (e)/Addy/Mith bolts > Bone Xbow + Bolts > Any good ranged weapon

Remember: You must take a saradomin and a zamorak item(monk robes do not count as a saradomin item), taking an armadyl pendant is a waste of your amulet spot as an armadyl item really isn't needed.

Inventory Essentials:
Around 100 nature runes (high alch)
Around 500 fire runes/Fire staff (high alch)
Runes/Item for teleporting out
Climbing boots if you're going on the Non-trollheim tele path
2 law runes and 2 fire runes if you're going on the trollheim tele path

Prayer Potions
I'd recomend taking atleast 15 4 dose prayer potions if you want a good trip, but ideally you should take as many as you can fit into your inventory.

Here is an inventory setup i have used and found to be quite good:



If you don't have the holy wrench replace it with another prayer potion and instead of taking the addy bar/coin placeholders you can take another 2 prayer potions but you may find yourself struggling to find space for drops early on in the trip.

A Tip
Look out for aviansies that are being attacked by zamorak creatures(Goraks, fiends, bloodvelds etc) and deal a few damage on them then return to the aviansie you were previously killing. You will get the drops of it from only 2 seconds of attacking it, using this tip you will improve your trip killcount by possibly hundreds!

Note: You can only kill aviansies with ranged or magic, melee will NOT work!

muh, go to armadyl room then kill the Gorak, use the safespot. They drop pretty good (they drop rune chain) :) No pray/food necessary. Just be sure to take the Armadyl pendant.

i started at level 70 range with 74 defense, and it was really easy. I don't know where people come up with the 400-500k an hour though, i only got 1m after being their for about 8 hours. if it was 400-500k an hou, i should have gotten 3.2m - 4.6m. it's still good though.

Its maybe because people loose their sence of time, because when im there, im like this : " oh yes i got here" and 3 hours later "what you mean im out of ammo, i just got here" :D, time realy fly bi there :D

@isjusme, thats when you attack Aviansies being attacked by Zamorak creatures and that are almost dead. Then its ~5 seconds per kill and then its 500K an hour ;-)

This is a great guide, although It's not yours, also you can stay at aviansies for like a week as long as you have enough bolts because you can buy bones to peaches tabs!

collect as many bones as your inventory will let then convert them to peaches thus increasing your time at aviansies which increases your efficiency :)

Hope I helped!

Lol.

Armour you should use is:
Torag's Helm
Zamorak Dhide Body
Torag's Legs
Climbing/Dragon Boots
Saradomin Bracers
PS. "armadyl pendant" from -> temple of ikov quest, or Amulet of glory, both ways works good unless you have good range DEFENCE bonus.
