There is so much to cover yet. First, ask yourself a few questions before you spend time reading this guide. - Are you bored of training. - Are you irritated of slow experience - Do you have problems training or finding suitable training spots? If your answer was YES to 2 out of 3 of these questions, then look no further! You have found the ULTIMATE guide to training. I myself faced ALL 3 of these problems and have found ways to OVERCOME and WORK AROUND them. Now, by following me, you can do that too! [/hide] [hide=3.TRAINING SPOTS]3.

Weapon Strategies ̢̮â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâû Dragon Battleaxe Pro(s): 85 Strength Bonus. Average Slash/Crush Weapon. Accurate. Special Boosts Strength Stat Con(s): Slow. Requires Heros Quest To be completed. Special Lowers Every other combat stat Uses: Use the Special before you start training, then drink a restore potion if your attack is low(80-) if you wish. ̢̮â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâû Dragon Dagger(p++) Pro(s): Can be poisoned. Managable Stab/Slash Attack. Special Attack is arguable the BEST special in RuneScape. Cheap and easily obtainable. Con(s): Not terribly accurate. Other Weapons eg; Whip, Sara Sword are Stronger yet Same speed. Uses: Dd(p++) also known as the Dds is often used in PvP fights/duels as it has a chance of poisoning your opponent thus doing extra damage. Special also hits hard/Fast and effectively as it only takes 25% drain(there is a bug with the special occationally) ̢̮â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâû Dragon Mace Pro(s): 5 Prayer Bonus. Good Crush Attack. Special attack increases Damage Considerably. Cheap. Con(s): Special Attack increases damage but lowers accuracy horribly. Uses: Not many people use this except for fighting creatures that require prayer. It is good when you like to see High hits and often used to "Max" on others. ̢̮â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâû Dragon Halberd Pro(s): Massive Strength Bonus. Can attack someone 2 Squares away. Special attack hits *Twice* on Monsters that take up more than 1square(eg; Giants). Hits Hard and is relatively accurate. Special only drains 30%. Con(s): Extremely Slow. Not suggested in PvPs as the ability to hit over fences can easily be ignored by walking a step back. This doesn't work on Monsters with a long reach(Elves using Pikes/Bows or Npcs that can mage) Uses: Useful for many tasks with Safespots. Special is nice and useful. ̢̮â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ»ÃÆÃ¢â¬Å¡Ãâû Excalibur Pro(s): Useful Special attack that boosts defence stat by 10% Cons(s): Weak Weapon. Bad accuracy. Uses: Boosts Defense stat by 10%. Useful on slayer tasks. [/hide] [hide=5.CONCLUSION]5.
