I am training on lessers (f2p) in karamja, to raise fishing and cooking a bit as well as combat. I have come across a question though... am I better off with silverlight or my rune scimitar? I hit 2 higher with silverlight than rune scimmy.... however, I take longer to kill them and hit more 0's. Is silverlight a much less accurate weapon?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My next question involves ranging... I am level 65 at the moment and want to get to 70... I would like to continue training on lessers. About how many steel arrows will I need to buy, if I pick them all up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks a bunch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*EDIT* Also, I feel as though I am being hit more and with higher hits when I use silverlight, than I did with rune scimitar... Anyone else experienced this or have knowledge of this. I realize that taking longer to kill them will make me get hit more... but it seems that I get hit every other time, rather than every... 5 or so before I used silverlight. (65 def)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

**EDIT** I ditched the silverlight... I hit 16's as compared to 14's with scimitar... but I got hit a lot more than usual. Thanks a lot.

1. Silverlight may hit higher, but seeing as you are receiving more damage with it, I'd stick with the rune scimmy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Roughly about 10-15k of steel arrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. I only fought lessers with silverlight once and I didn't like it.

From the Tip.it item database

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silverlight has the same attack bonuses as a Steel Longsword (14). Compare these to a Rune Scimitar (45), and you see a difference of 31, meaning you are less likely to hit.

I would guess that you just got screwed by the RNG, brought on by standing there longer.

I would suggest counting how many you take to kill three or four to find a rough guess (number of arrows used / number of demons killed = number needed to kill one), then add a few extra to account for lag/bad luck

Another question... Would anyone suggest iron arrows over steel arrows for training on lessers? They are much less expensive, and slightly weaker... any recommendations?

I would use iron. I used them to get from 1-50 in like 5 days. Also if you pick up the arrows you wont need 10-15k arrows, probably only like 5-6k.

Id suggest if you were going to go down to iron, you mise well save the small amount of money and buy bronze, according to the tip.it damage table, bronze and iron arrows tend to do the same damage. , maybe every few levels iron will do 1 more damage.

Hmmm... interesting... would anyone else recommend bronze then?... I'll check out the tables as well and see what I can find out.

I got to F2P ranging level 80 by using Bronze arrows

 

 

 

against the 2 Lessers on the top of Crandor Island.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll check out the tables as well and see what I can find out.

 

 

 

The max hit for Bronze is about (Range+14)/9

 

 

 

For Iron it is about (Range+15)/9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot guys, I think I will use bronze arrows to save some cash. Thanks again!

Yeah. That's exactly what I did. I used Silverlight and it was awful. Even though I hit 16s with it back then I hit more often with a Rune Scimitar.
