Hmm... about the mace, I was thinking about either speed or strength, but you're right. A mace is pretty heavy. Daggers are weaker than claws, so daggers deserve poison. And NO WAY claws should become Speed 8, otherwise claws will be the next overpowered weapon. Maybe the spear CAN do that, but then again, it is the uniqueness of the halberd, so I don't think so. You're right though, hammering with a spear is indeed less accurate than stabbing with it if you look into real life. My "logical reasons" are already there actually, I mentioned the warhammer's underpowered strength and the halberd's "not-enough" squares to reach. Added you to Support list.

I heard Waterfiends have an extremely high Crimson Charm drop rate.

While gaining Drop Potential, I powermine at the Steel/Hobogoblin Mine in the Wilderness (Hot Zone). And I only skill on PVP worlds. PKing is so old school to me. -.-

No, I did not. I actually recorded my XP rates on a notebook. If you want, I can do 3 more tests for you. Ok ok, I give up. You win. Longswords are better than scimitars in select situations, but that is like the extremely rare circumstance involving the mace and rapid heal prayer or saradomin swords at waterfiends. I'll be adding a supporter's list. I assume you support? Yes. I support. I want FULLY balanced weapons, not the absurdly overpowered scimitars or the absurdly underpowered warhammers and shortswords. I can also add armor suggestions if you want. Changing the defence bonus so chainmail is EXACTLY the same as platemail except the stab and crush defences are inverted? I'll make a post on this in "Suggestions" later. Good idea, except it isn't historically or logically true, but who cares? I mean, if this game is supposed to be logical, a scimitar wouldn't be as fast as a dagger and carrying 100 billion coins in your backpack would make you stronger. I've already made a suggestion on this, so... yeah. :-#

As you know, currently in F2P, the only weapon that is most commonly used is the Rune Scimitar. In this suggestion, I would try to re-balance the weapons so that other weapons can be better (maces and warhammers most notably). I will also make armor suggestions so defence bonuses become more noticeable as well. For stat changes, I used rune items as an example. Weapons: Dagger: Increased to Speed 7, Decreased DDS spec, Increased strength, Increased Stab Reason: Currently, daggers are one of the worst weapons in the F2P world. If we tweak this weapon up a bit, we can at least make this weapon's speed more noticeable, and people will use it more. Dagger is also weak, so I suggest that the strength goes up a bit. I also suggest that the DDS spec be slower, so that DDS won't be overpowered. Stab should be increased as well. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +25 +12 -4 +1 +0 +0 +0 +0 +1 +0 +0 +24 +0 Speed: 6 Changed: +38 +12 -4 +1 +0 +0 +0 +0 +1 +0 +0 +34 +0 Speed: 7[/hide] Claws: Increased to Speed 7, Decreased D Claws spec, Decreased Strength Reason: Same as the dagger. Since this weapon is 2-handed, claws need a tweak more than the dagger does. Also suggest that the D claws spec is slowed down so it doesn't overpower as well. The strength should be decreased, however, because of the speed. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +26 +38 -4 +0 +0 +10 +19 +5 +0 +0 +0 +39 +0 Speed: 6 Changed: +26 +38 -4 +0 +0 +10 +19 +5 +0 +0 +0 +34 +0 Speed: 7[/hide] Shortsword: Increased Stab accuracies, Increased strength Reason: The stab attack of the shortsword (Rune) is currently exactly the same as a longsword (Rune). This must be tweaked so the accuracy becomes more notable. I also increased the strength so that it is comparable to the scimitar. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +38 +26 -2 +0 +0 +0 +2 +1 +0 +0 +0 +39 +0 Speed: 6 Changed: +45 +26 -2 +0 +0 +0 +2 +1 +0 +0 +0 +44 +0 Speed: 6[/hide] Mace: Increased Strength, better Prayer bonus, better Crush bonus Reason: Currently, mace is one of the worst weapons, mainly because it is longsword speed while it hits only as hard as a shortsword. The strength should be tweaked, to justify for the lost speed. To compete with the longsword, it should have a Crush boost as well. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +20 -2 +39 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +36 +4 Speed: 5 Changes: +20 -2 +47 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +52 +7 Speed: 5[/hide] Scimitar: No change Reason: One of the most overpowered weapons (especially in F2P), this weapon shoudn't be changed. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +7 +45 -2 +0 +0 +0 +1 +0 +0 +0 +0 +44 +0 Speed: 6 Changes: None[/hide] Spear: Increased Strength bonuses, Increased defence bonuses, Increased Stab bonuses, Slight increased Slash bonuses, More likely to poison Reason: Since spear is the most flexible weapon, it deserves to have lowered speed. However, its current strength made it exactly like the mace in a way. The strength is tweaked up a bit so it would be like a scimitar and longsword in a way, but 2-handed and more flexibility. And because it is 2-handed, I gave it better defence bonuses. The stab bonus for the spear should be increased, while the slash bonus of the spear should be increased a bit. And it should poison more likely than the dagger so it's worth using in PVP. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +36 +36 +36 +0 +0 +1 +1 +0 +0 +0 +0 +42 +0 Speed: 5 Changes: +42 +40 +36 +0 +0 +6 +3 +1 +0 +0 +0 +50 +0 Speed: 5[/hide] Longsword: Increased strength, Increased Slash accuracies Reason: Currently, this weapon has the most balanced speed and strength. It doesn't hit too high, and it doesn't go too fast either. I will not nerf the stab attack however, tweaking the shortsword's stab is enough. I will give it a TINY boost to the strength though. I also gave Slash bonuses so that the longsword isn't obsolete to the mace. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +38 +47 -2 +0 +0 +0 +3 +2 +0 +0 +0 +49 +0 Speed: 5 Changes: +40 +53 -2 +0 +0 +0 +3 +2 +0 +0 +0 +56 +0 Speed: 5[/hide] Warhammer: Increased strength Reason: Again, the warhammer's battleaxe speed and longsword strength does not make up for the warhammer's incredibly high crush accuracy. The strength should be tweaked up so it's comparable to a battleaxe. [hide=Stat changes]Original: -4 -4 +53 -4 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +48 +0 Speed: 4 Changes: -4 -4 +53 -4 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +64 +0 Speed: 4[/hide] Battleaxe: Increased Slash accuracies Reason: To justify for the warhammer's big boost in strength, I suggest that the Slash accuracy should be tweaked. The Crush accuracy should be left alone, as the warhammer is supposed to be better in that area. [hide=Stat changes]Original: -2 +48 +43 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 -1 +0 +64 +0 Speed: 4 Changes: -2 +53 +43 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 -1 +0 +64 +0 Speed: 4[/hide] Halberd: Ability to reach 3 squares ahead, increased defence bonuses Reason: All of halberd's stats are just below those of the 2-hander. Having the advantage to reach 2 squares isn't significant enough, so I suggest the halberd to reach an extra square beyond to make the advantage better. Again, it's 2-handed, so it deserves a defence bonus tweak. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +48 +67 +0 -4 +0 -1 +4 +5 +0 +0 +0 +68 +0 Speed: 3 Changes: +50 +72 +0 -4 +0 +2 +6 +8 +0 +0 +0 +68 +0 Speed: 3[/hide] 2-hander: Increased defence bonuses Reason: The 2H's strength is good enough for a KO. We don't need to tweak it's strength. Its defence, however, should be increased, due to the 2H being a two-handed weapon. [hide=Stat changes]Original: -4 +69 +50 -4 +0 +0 +0 +0 +0 -1 +0 +70 +0 Speed: 3 Changes: -4 +69 +50 -4 +0 +5 +4 +4 +0 -1 +0 +70 +0 Speed: 3[/hide] Armor: Platebody, Platelegs: Decreased crush defence, Increase stab/slash defence Reason: Since the platebody has a weakness to Crush, I have decreased the crush defence a bit. To balance that, I suggest that the other defence styles against melee should be increased. [hide=Stat changes]Original: Platebody: +0 +0 +0 -30 -10 +82 +80 +72 -6 +80 +40 +0 +0 Platelegs: +0 +0 +0 -21 -7 +51 +49 +47 -4 +49 +15 +0 +0 Changes: Platebody: +0 +0 +0 -30 -10 +85 +85 +65 -6 +80 +40 +0 +0 Platelegs: +0 +0 +0 -25 -10 +55 +55 +40 -4 +50 +15 +0 +0[/hide] Chainbody: Same defence as Platebody, except Crush and Stab are reversed, also made negative bonuses same as platebody Reason: I have made the chainbody exactly equal to the platebody, so it's worth using. Since the chainbody's weakness is Stab, I have inverted the Crush and Stab defence bonuses from the platebody. The negative bonuses of the platebody should also be added to the chainbody, to justify the chainbody's advantages. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +0 +0 +0 -15 +0 +63 +72 +78 -3 +65 +40 +0 +0 Changes: +0 +0 +0 -30 -10 +65 +85 +85 -6 +80 +40 +0 +0[/hide] Plateskirts: Decreased defence Reason: Because of the plateskirt's size, it is lighter. However, because of this, it shouldn't have the same defence as platelegs. Since they are both prone to Crush, plateskirts deserve a nerf. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +0 +0 +0 -21 -7 +51 +49 +47 -4 +49 +15 +0 +0 Changes: +0 +0 +0 -15 -5 +45 +45 +30 -2 +40 +10 +0 +0[/hide] Kiteshields: Decreased Stab defence Reason: Kiteshields have a weakness to Stab, so I decreased the stab defence bonuses. To balance that, I suggest that the other defence styles should be upgraded. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +0 +0 +0 -8 -2 +44 +48 +46 -1 +46 +40 +0 +0 Changes: +0 +0 +0 -8 -2 +40 +50 +50 -1 +50 +40 +0 +0[/hide] Sq Shields: Same defence as Kiteshields, except Stab and Crush are reversed, also made negative bonuses from kiteshields Reason: Same as the chainbody, make Sq Shields exactly the same as Kiteshields. Except that Sq Shield's weakness is Crush, so Stab and Crush are inverted. Same reason as chainbody, the kiteshield's negative bonuses should also be applied to the sq shield. [hide=Stat changes]Original: +0 +0 +0 -6 -2 +38 +40 +36 +0 +38 +35 +0 +0 Changes: +0 +0 +0 -8 -2 +50 +50 +40 -1 +50 +40 +0 +0[/hide] Full/Med Helms: No change Reason: They are both prone to crush, and Med helms are lighter. So Med helms deserve lowered defence. Full helms provide enough protection as it is, so they don't need a tweak. [hide=Stat changes]Original: Full Helms: +0 +0 +0 -6 -2 +30 +32 +27 -1 +30 +7 +0 +0 Med Helms: +0 +0 +0 -3 -1 +22 +23 +21 -1 +22 +7 +0 +0 Changes: None[/hide] Gauntlets and Boots: No change Reason: Gauntlets and boots are just a minor part of armor.

No, I did not. I actually recorded my XP rates on a notebook. If you want, I can do 3 more tests for you. Ok ok, I give up. You win.

I'll make a post on this in "Suggestions" later.

Congrats on F2P 99 ranged! :thumbsup: 10/10

Sometimes I wish bots never appeared in the first place... It was them who removed free trade, old wilderness, and staking. But since there are much fewer bots in RuneScape now, I don't think bots are that much of a big problem anymore.

The Swordfish Gloves lasts for 1000 Swordfish catches. Tuna doesn't count.

The fire axe is equel to a rune battle axe it for fighting not for woodcutting and i will leave the spec's up to jagex thy are good with that sort of thing to give balance to the game For runecrafing how how about a Fire Crown that u need level 50 firemaking to light and has the same ability as the fire tiaras and it can telleport u to the Fire Altar ( and it look like u are in golfed by flames wen u telleport ). And lastly there is a fire woodcutting axe and a fire pick axe its called a Inferno Adze. Thanks for the support and ideas u have beed added to the list. I was thinking something that gives more XP when Fire Runecrafting, but yeah, that would work.

Nah. The longsword isn't good at all because it's damage:time ratio is too low, much lower than the scimitar. The only -sword that beats a -scimitar is the Obby Sword + Zerker Necklace, and that's p2p. I have done tests, and sometimes longswords exceeds scimitars in XP. I can show you XP rates if you want. Summary from the above posts: A sword isn't worth using in F2P.

No, I did not. I actually recorded my XP rates on a notebook. If you want, I can do 3 more tests for you.

Sword and Scimitar are the same speed. You might as well go with a scimitar since it has better stats. If you want looks though, a Longsword is your best bet (By the way, Longswords sometimes (not all the time!) get more XP than scimitars. Although scimtars can also get more XP than longswords as well.)

If you want Experience, then Flesh Crawlers or Giant Spiders are your best bets. If you want Drops, Cockroach Workers/Soldiers are great. If you want Prayer, any kind of giant is good. Note that these are for Melee.

Out of all of them, I like the Firemaking untrimmed cape the most.

It really depends on what computer I play on. HD on my laptop. (It can handle it) SD on my desktop. (HD lags there :wall: )

The point is I get more XP with a rune longsword.

Here is my second test, but this time it's 10 minutes for each weapon. Rune Longsword: 4.5k xp per 10 min Rune Scimitar: 4.0k xp per 10 min This is done with the "Aggressive" style, yet again.

Gonna have to bring up one of my older tests with rune scimitar and longsword at flesh crawlers. Rune Scimitar: 34k xp/hour Rune Longsword: 40k xp/hour This was done in the "Aggressive" style. Please explain why.

I think you should get 70 mining (if you don't have it already). You can race me to 70 if you want. :P And do all of the above, AND rank all your stats. (Sorry if melee is a pain to you...)

They were lamer than before. Especially New Super Mario Bros. THAT'S why I said Kirby is the best at making remakes. (Kirby Super Star Ultra)

Nah. Longswords look better. Anyways, good luck on slaying Elvarg! You will need 1 strength potion, fully charged prayer, 1 cabbageport-tele, and the rest inventory swordfish. That is the inventory for what I recommend. :

Zokot, good luck on getting 99 RC! :D Runecrafting rules.

Yep. After Deu Terium gets his 99 pray, IMMEDIATELY update the list so we can see this guy's honor. :thumbsup:
