i have a whip but i cant fully train strength with it. should i just use the controlled option? or should i use another weapon to train strength? any suggestions?

Yeah controlled is a really bad way to train strength if you want strength, so try training with a dds or a dragon scimmy/long.

i find scimmy rather good at training strength with. whips more attack and defense, good with def.

or, whisper it, pest control?

use a d scim to train strength, and a whip for attack/defence

i would do that except i dont know how to wield a d scimmy. i heard u have to do some quest to wield it?? which quest is it? is it a difficult quest?

 

 

 

would i be better off not doing the quest and just using a d long to train strength?

The quest is a long--pull your hair out--one but also one of the more enjoyable quests in game. The D-scimmy has the advantage of being a fast weapon, sort of the best fustion of dagger and long. It does have a terrible special though.

You need to do Monkey Madness, and it's not really difficult, just long and can get annoying at times. I have a d scimmy and I'd rather use it for str than a d long.

I heard a guy say he uses the controlled option at PC and spends his points on Strength Xp.

 

 

 

The same could be said for any stat though.

If you are interested in leveling all combat skills you should try controlled. If you merely want strength it's either the scim or PC.

ok i think i want to try to do monkey madness but my account is permanently muted. do you think that will affect anything with the quest?

 

 

 

if i dont do the quest, which is better to train strength: dds or d long?

No, you can just buy what you need from the forums, or make them if you can for the quest. If you don't do the quest, I'd use a d long.

No, use a DDS. The speed, poison, and special make it more worthwhile.

The poison is a flaw in the dds, you don't get the xp for the damage dealt by the poison. Plus I can do more damage with a d long than I can a dds.

If you're worrying about XP on MM....Well, you need to get your priorities straightened out. If you really can't decide, bring em both. I've just found that a DDS is best for killing things fast.

For str exp when your main weapon is a whip, I would go with d scim as a secondary weapon, or use Pest Control.

I never understand why people say use a D Scimi, when you need to eventually train all 3 anyway.

 

 

 

By using a whip, you hit alot more often, so logically you're actually accumulating more total xp between the three skills, as to when you'd use just a Scimi for strength.

D Scim is best choice

In the end.. you spend 3 times the time gaining exp in controlled as you do 1 by 1 in att, str, and def. So if you train Str 5 lvls higher, then wouldn't your max hit be higher and be able to hit high on monsters, thus killing them faster, and letting you kill more in a certain amount of time? :wink:

What about the barrelchest anchor? Is it no longer useful to train strength with? Last I checked (which has been awhile) it was seen as the best strength training weapon.

(Not read the whole thing so probably similar but...)

 

I use D scimmy to train strength. If you want fast levels then D scim and PC.

 

 

 

I done Monkey Madness at 79 combat with well rounded melees and 43 prayer. It's long and can be tedious but it's not THAT hard.
