22woger22 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Is it best to train on monsters with the Accurate or Rapid style on the crystal bow? I heard somewhere that accurate is better for maximum ranged exp per hour gained, but the general concensus believe rapid on ALL types of ranged weapons is much more beneficial for xp. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codguy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Rapid definitely. Accurate doesn't make your damage much better and is a lot slower. Rapid is definitely the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yagami Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I can't confirm one being better than the other, but I always used Accurate with a Crystal bow, I just always have done and probably always will do, I know this is probably no help, but I prefer it to Rapid, unlike any other bow, So, Yeah. I'd like to find out which is actually better too. I would like to get the most difficult 99 in the game to accomplish. which is woodcutting. because I had a drunken night in philadelphia and sprayed a fire extinguiser, evacuated a 7 story hotel on the philly stadium, spent the night in jail.. then got on level 2 prob & have to pay 50 a month because I have a job. It's their way of collecting more money out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22woger22 Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 I remember vaguely reading somewhere (I think it was in tipit forums) that there is a very little speed difference between the rapid and accurate styles of the crystal bow, and the author suggested accurate was more effective in training..

I actually think that there's quite a difference in speed. You can try it out yourself. I'll always be using rapid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I heard that too, I notice a tiny difference in the speed, but it's not much, I still stick to Accurate.

Yagami Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I guess Accurate is slower but less GP per shot, Rapid is obviously a little bit faster, but accurate will get you more XP in the end.

Oh, my question was supposed to ask the best exp PER HOUR, not the best exp PER BOW. If that wasn't what you meant, i'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I heard that too, I notice a tiny difference in the speed, but it's not much, I still stick to Accurate. I did many experiments on my way to 99 range.. Accurate = 20 shots per minute. Rapid = 25 Shots per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamong Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Yes, go Rapid. When I used my crystal bow, I seemed to be ploughing through the monsters quicker with rapid than accurate. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeones Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I've heard somewhere that the general consensus on all bows is to use Rapid. EXCEPT for the Crystal Bow. I read that the Crystal Bow is the only bow in the game that the higher and more often hits of Accurate outdo the faster Rapid method. It was tested, so I guess go for Accurate.

decebal Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Rapid, though I'm not sure. On a normal bow, I use accurate just to save money, though I think Jagex was smart and changed it so that the higher hits of accuarte is better than rapid. Not sure, I can't use one.

klaus703 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I've always used accurate because it read somewhere it was better than rapid for the crystal. Barrows drops: 27 - 2 SpearsDragon drops: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
