September 25, 200718 yr This is not a question how to pk, it's just that lately i've been on worlds 3 & 7 and I have seen quite a lot of pures wielding daggers: mith & addy & rune. QUESTION: are daggers better than scim/2h ?
September 25, 200718 yr Im guessing that daggers are cheap to buy but Scimitars are the best pking weapon in f2p imo along with the rune 2h. You may have seen some cheap pkers :P Sn'C Events Team Member942nd to 99 hunter 2/8/07|26,042nd to reach 99 fletching 27/10/07|Quest Cape Achieved 22/1/08|50,000th to 99 Cooking 29/10/08Dagannoth King Drops: 7 Zerkers 2 Axes 3 Warriors | Armadyl: 1 hilt first ever trip and kill | Barrows: 2 Dharok Legs 1 Ahrim Skirt 1 Torag Helm 1 Guthan Spear
September 25, 200718 yr Ha Ha, funny, i noticed that aswell. I vsed a person with a rune dagger (lvl 96) and it was taking off more damage then i had expected. But i ended up killing him easy, got the dagger :thumbsup: I got about 20 rune daggers in my bank from slayer drops \ Coming Soon
October 3, 200718 yr Author ah i see, my friend told me that if you have very high strength for your level, and since daggers pack fast small punches you may be able to hit very quick medium-high hits. #-o
October 3, 200718 yr ah i see, my friend told me that if you have very high strength for your level, and since daggers pack fast small punches you may be able to hit very quick medium-high hits. #-o That'd be the point of using daggers, you're right. But most people use scimitars because it has the best speed-strength ratio. This signature is intentionally left blank.

But most people use scimitars because it has the best speed-strength ratio. Actually, daggers and scimitars have the exact same speed, with scimitar clearly the stronger. So yes, what you see is definately the result of cheap pkers afraid to lose a scimitar. =p 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)
October 3, 200718 yr Since both are same speed they must be arguing extra str vs. cost. 4-10k v 20-35k. Clearly with such high str lvls as pures it is a logical choice considering how often they die.
October 3, 200718 yr i also see people pking with rune swords and longs Where do you pk? I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames.
October 3, 200718 yr Scimitars are very slightly slower than daggers. But scim still better since it has almost twice the strength. Cheap pkers really.

October 4, 200718 yr The scimitar is mainly a slashing weapon, although it does have a less effective stab attack. It's not as flexible as the shortsword, but it deals slightly more damage. Slashing weapons are good against cloth and leather armour. The dagger is one of the faster weapons in RuneScape. Generally, the dagger's best attack style is stabbing, although it also is suitable as a slashing weapon. Kiteshields are marginally weaker against stabbing attacks. Chainmail is weak against stabbing weapons as small pointy blades can pierce the rings Leather is more resistant to crush attacks and weaker against stab attacks Knowledge Base Ownage \ \ \ \ \ They might be using a dagger if they are going to fight rune pures or rangers.
October 5, 200718 yr Author They might be using a dagger if they are going to fight rune pures or rangers. yeah, i was a ranger. and @ imaleber, daggers are just a tad bit faster =P~. anyways, ty all for your help, I've found out daggers are some what effective.
