The_Gabe Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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. Discuss Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Alan_1134 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 They're only 5gp each? I thought I often seen people complaining of them being too expensive. :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warlordsagan Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Yea, I used to use them over addy arrows when I was training range. But I think there more around 65gp each or so. "Be Excellent To Each Other" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabuli Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Can you use them with a MSB? :-s Yes. I always used magic shortbow + broad arrows when i wanted to do my kurask tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost-Knigth Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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? 99 ranged | 99 magic | 99 defence | 99 hitpointsRemember, it's just a gameFeel free to add me on RS. :) Always ready for a chat.

time2quit Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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? Solo GWD'er Drops: Bandos Hilt x 1/ boots x 1 / Steam staff x 1 / Shards x 9 99 Str/ 99 Att/ 99 HP (More to come...)

time2quit Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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..

Soma2035 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 They USED to be 5 gp each. Which owned really really badly until archers found out and bought them up so slayers never had any... lol.

Lemeja Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 They can hit as high as addys and can be used with a msb? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gabe Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 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: Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

jessy87 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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.

speedy1135 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 they are 80 each... not 5, not 65, but 80 each this means a crystal bow is a much better choice, because it's only 180k to charge (when charged 5 times) so that makes 72 gp per arrow and it's stronger than adamant arrows ~Speedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncient Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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. Ever wanted to find street prices of RS items?

Viv Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 i think for kurask/turoth task they are underrated people complain bout the lame spear but they can just range them for other rangeing i think that no cause they are sorta expensive ranging from 60-100 ea in the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyMcNabb Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 *equivalent but I do agree with you. But I hate training range, and most of all I hate training range on kurask... *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Why do you want this closed? It's a good discussion? I know...? Addies are what 160-200ea? so for 80 ea you are potentially getting 2.5 broads to 1 addy arrow. Which isn't quite bad if you pick up your arrows.

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...
