I don't need logs for Abyssals. It's proven time and time again by people that it's drop rate is 1/450. There you go, Dark bow's drop rate is 1/400 approximately.

I also hate that question, sorry. It's so easy to understand: I don't like it's look... I prefer using cape. :roll: Mmkay. I still don't get how you can possibly care about looks in an online game, but whatever :P It also picks up most of your arrows so you don't have to...

Whip drop rate: 450 Dark bow drop rate: 400 Whip worth: 1.5m Dark bow worth: 800k That is all.

Cave slime's 100% drop of swamp tar is worthwhile. 1600 kills profit can range from 310400gp minimum to 1.8624 million gp.

I'd bring a shield to tank. Swap out most of the super restores for prayer potions, you only need 1 dose of super restore for 2 dose of brew really. (1:3 is best, but hard to achieve.)

Well, my suggestion currently is: -Dagger VS Claws -Shortsword VS Scimitar -Spear inbetween (this one is the odd one out) -Mace VS Longsword -Warhammer VS Battleaxe -2H VS Halberd I only nerfed the scimitar a little. I might consider changes so that the stats are equal to what the weapons are up against. Oh and if scimitar isn't overpowered, why are people all over F2P be using them so much? It's the nerfing the scimitar a little that concerns me. I can already tell you, f2p training is much, much slower than members, with the best gear that is reasonable to use. That means full rune with rune gloves, and a rune scimitar. The only faster you could get is corrupt dragon, but that's too expensive to be realistic. If you nerf the scimitar, even a little, it makes slow training even slower. As for why the scimitar is the most used, it's because it's the best. The same reason a whip is most used. Or a maple short. Or a rune crossbow. Only the uninformed use the others, because they are below par from the best. I don't care if Jagex makes the types of weapons equal. Just as long as they don't kill training for someone along the way. And, for the record, I'm looking at this from a point of view outside where it affects me. Not only am I a member, I also am a ranger, if I ever decide to go back to combat outside of quests. What I'm saying here isn't biased because something would happen to me if these changes occurred. I only nerfed the scimitar, because I wanted longsword to be the best. In most RPGs, they had longsword as one of the best weapons out there. Oh and keep in mind that I improved the rune longsword to make up for the loss of the rune scimitar so training won't be slowed down as much. (I use a rune longsword, not because I'm uninformed, because it's one of my favorites of all time, and it still gives good xp in the free world.) Oh, and why say people are uninformed when they do not use the best? Remember that personal preference plays a big role in choosing your weapon. People don't always have to pick the "best" weapon (which, for some players, isn't really the best at all), they can use other good ones as well. Remember that improving other weapons in the same category can make them on par with the "best" weapon, which I did. By the way, Quelmotz, stop it. Quit arguing with people that are actually correct. That is why I went along with sadukar123. Your stats are COMPLETELY wrong. Scimitar should not be speed 5, mace should not lose its prayer, and battleaxe should not lose its strength. So please stop arguing with my stats and other people at the same time. Capiche? Exactly, we should argue on how to make different weapon have more purpose and use, instead of making more items useless.

No it wouldn't, it's only 19.3k experience per tree, you still have to wait it to grow. (Something like 61 hours?) And only 1 tree can be planted at any time.

Perty sure its only for non-corrupt versions. Correct, corrupt degrade constantly while equipped, non-corrupt only degrade in combat. You say corrupt degrade when 'equipped'. I take it that means when you are wielding it rather than having it in your inventory? If I had a corrupt vesta's longsword in my inventory and was using it for special attacks only, would it last me longer than 15 minutes? Corrupt doesn't have specials. You can, however use it for KO hits. Corrupt items don't start degrading when wielded immediately, it takes about 20-30 seconds before it does, to prevent accidental equips. With this in mind, you can (theoretically) make a Corrupted Zuriel's staff last forever.

I have said before in an old and dying thread that the Abyssal Whip was overpowered, but it got flamed to hell by a certain party (let's call him sadukar123, shall we, for anonymity's sake?). Don't make assumptions on certain weapons being overpowered if you never used them. Ok. Lets just forget about it, shall we? I'm sick of arguing with you about it. Back to topic, I agree that f2p mage is underpowered, and may I please direct you to the rants forum, click this topic "f2p mage and range underpowered" by yours truly? Not trying to boast, but if you want you can also see another thread under bugs and suggestions "contemporary S&Q ....(something)". Fine, I will increase all weapons to the scimitar's power instead, since it will instigate a lot of flame and rants if everyone's present weapon (the scim) was nerfed badly. Personal attacks? May I please direct you to the thread "f2p mage and range underpowered" and see WHO started flaming and insulting people? (unless your posts have been removed). By you long time ago. May I ask who started it? Do you realise that when you're pointing your finger at me, four are pointing back at you? Prove it. Nice, an arrow can penetrate armor easily. (correction, at point blank range) Please specify the range. I will not be amazed if a crossbow bolt or arrow can penetrate armor at point blank range. A warhammer can "crush" a PART of the armor? What the hell? It won't necessarily crush the armor (loot man loot!), but send strong shock waves THROUGH the armor, breaking all the bones inside and causing internal bleeding. Although not immediately fatal, it is better than a huge bladed axe in terms of penetrating armor. Battleaxes will not always cut through armor, it depends on the angle of the swinging chop, the person's strength and which part of the armor it hits. You won't always get a "lucky" hit and battleaxes are 2handed, which is a HUGE disadvantage. Don't tell me they're onehanded, you said "HUGE BLADED AXE" and you didn't mention "HUGE HEAVY WARHAMMER" or anything of that sort. Correction "NOT" at point black range. See Battle of Agincourt, Crecy. Crossbow might have been BANNED by Pope Innocent II FOR BEING INHUMANE, it kills a knight who trained for years with ONE SHOT. Longbow+Crossbow>Knights. You forget there's usually CHAIN MAIL underneath some armour, it will absorb whatever "shockwave" the hammer makes. Nice strawman, you compare two different sized weapons and declare you win. Fine. You might be correct on the crossbow, but you stated ARROWS in your initial post, and I was basing my arguments on that. Arrows can STILL destroy Knights. NOT just Crossbow. Do you think all knights are so rich to have chainmail under their armor? Most of them only have cloth under their plate armor, which DOES absorb some impact but not enough to protect them. Erm, most knights are nobles, nobles have lots of money to buy a chainmail. Also, you were the one who started comparing a ONEHANDED warhammer to a TWOHANDED battleaxe for god's sake. Don't be so hypocritical please. I said huge, huge does not mean it's two handed. I can't believe you blindly agreed with him. Seriously I don't make personal attacks for no reason. You can check out "f2p mage and range underpowered" somewhere around page 20 or so and see WHO started the flame wars and personal attacks by insulting and flaming me. And it isn't banned. I'm posting right now. I am careful. I am usually a nice person, its just these people (take note I didn't say "idiots" (which I would if I wasn't in a not-so-bad mood today)) who get on my nerves. I didn't specify anyone, don't make assumptions. Seriously stop denying the fact that you started attacking me first. Things were running well in my thread. I was telling a fool to stop posting unconstructive posts on my thread when YOU suddenly appeared and started attacking me, saying my posts were not constructive. Since when did I say all my posts were constructive? And you started it, so stop denying the fact that you did. Pointing out a hypocritical post is attacking? Review your definitions. Arrows can destroy knights, sure. And is that part of the question? We're discussing about melee weapons now, so please revert back to the topic. Sure, knights have money. Chainmail is heavy, so who'll be stupid enough to wear two layers of armor into battle, weighing them down badly. Why even wear armours at all? In Agincourt the lightly dressed British massacred the heavily armoured French. Huge = heavy =/= onehanded due to weight. Therefore huge/heavy = two handed. Depends on the person.

+150% damage then. And better accuracy. And better speed. With poison. No, it's not debatable. Uh, Dragon claws>DDS. lol. It's debatable that way.

DDS is about 25% damage boost.

No point paying RWTers to die. Many players would gladly do it for free or if you give them the money.

Dragonfire shield>Mind shield.

Stopped reading right about here. And TL;DR

Partially it is. :P You need some type of mouse point projection to play Runescape. ;)

Agreed, other wise you'd spend more money going over 99 Mage getting Charms.

Using 1 piece and using max offensive gear for every other slot is the most efficient way to use them. Helm is most used.

Barraging Monkey skeletons>Bursting Monkey skeletons>String Jewellery=Barraging Rock lobsters>Bursting Rock lobsters

The very maximum DP kills I think is about 5-10. Not sure which number, probably between that.

1/2 as fast by what I'm told. Seems correct logically too.

Well, that seems...really [developmentally delayed]ed. Maybe you set your country wrong.

1. You are confusing the DPs, there's a DP from losing your items, and there's another from spending time in PVP/BH with stuff over 75k. My pro pking friend THINKS the first one might be gone, the best second one will not go away from log out.
