broad arrows underrated?


The_Gabe

Recommended Posts

Well I really think that broad arrows are a pretty good way to train range if your using a bow.

 

 

 

Pros

 

Almost equavent (sp) to addy arrows

 

Pretty cheap. Around 65gp or so each

 

Untradable which means that if you didn't finish a monster and there is 2 stacks, other players wouldn't be able to take them.

 

 

 

 

 

Cons

 

You need 55 slayer and 50 range to use them.

 

They are members only

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is why I think broad arrows are underrated.

I'm quite sure that the price for broad arrows was like 5gp each when they were relased. But Jagex quickly found out that this was way too cheap and the price is now 60gp each?

Seam to remember on slayers relise they were low priced, and obviously stocked in large quantities, but tradeable, merchants went around buying them up for precicly the reason you just said, hence they are untradeable, to stop people making a hideous profit of them...

 

 

 

they seam okay though, id rather skip the tasks that youd need them for, and use chins for range...

 

 

 

Also not really new news is it?

Not saying they are new news just saying they are underrated :shame:

 

 

 

Sorry was unclear, with all the range updates then there are far far better ways to train range than the old msb and iron (etc) arrows, Chins being a prime example, dark bow to a lesser extent to. They are underrated for what they are, which as you've pointed out does have good points, they are a pain to buy in any sensible bulk though! And just at 65, thats around what just above miths, you could easily buy a lot more of them..

They can hit as high as addys and can be used with a msb? :o

 

 

 

That's right. And they are around 65gp each.

 

 

 

OT: I do believe there are still people that use the plain msb and arrows to train range, you never know :wink:

broad arrows were like 5-6 gp per arrow originally, but arrow makers/merchants [bleep]ed like crazy about it.

 

 

 

 

 

they are good, they hit just as good as addy arrows. im not sure if they hit as frequently but honestly, dont care. i use them @ cw sometimes, before i used my crystal bow constantly.

 

 

 

this has been discussed before. but, yes its been a while and they are very good arrows. i think i hit a few 19s with them around 87 ranged with the new ranged prayer.

They are between addy and mith, but closer to addy than mith.

 

 

 

Use crossbows instead.

 

 

 

And no, they are not underrated because at 55 slayer a lot of players have better alternatives with range.

I wanted to close it because I was getting a bit too many flames, but I will go ahead and keep it open :wink:

 

I don't think you were getting flamed mate, I think they were trying to correct the price.

 

 

 

Whoever said about crystal, you can't pick up those arrows can you? In speed yes it is better, in overall exp no crystal isn't, these would be better...
