Hidhaeg Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am a recently registered member, and I was wondering which item I should go for. Retain my Rune Scimi - or go for a halberd. Any ideas? What's your personal preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh181830 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Depends what level. When I was a member, I really liked the dragon hally, but I also really liked the dragon skimmy.. so its up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidhaeg Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am not yet able to use any dragon items - so I'm stuck with Rune, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowsEatFood Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Halberds are extremely slow :/. But if you like the safespotting ability... I'd recommend staying with scimi, or brine saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightzero Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 unless u like safespotting monsters stick with rune scimy, perhaps a granite maul in 10 levels. lulz wut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidhaeg Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, I was considering levelling up, and getting a granite maul. Pest control seems to be a rather quick and painless way to get through said levels, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wioneo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, I was considering levelling up, and getting a granite maul. Pest control seems to be a rather quick and painless way to get through said levels, too. Quick, yes. Painless, no. Stay off of that island and keep your soul pure, just my opinion. Back on topic, I have very limited experience with granite mauls(only ever used them on gargoyles) but they seem to be pretty good weapons. I'm not sure about the requirements, though.

Hantoumei Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Out of curoisity, why were you using a granite maul on gargoyles? Also, stick with a rune scimitar, the halberd dosen't have a special to make up for its poor speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, and I was hoping to somehow avoid having to use the rock hammer each time, which does not work for anyone that cares.

subway765 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Halberds are extremely slow :/. But if you like the safespotting ability... I'd recommend staying with scimi, or brine saber. What is a "brine saber"? A brine sabre is a weapon dropped by Brine Rats. Last time I checked, brine sabres were 16k. Lvl 40 attack is needed to weild it. The special attack only works underwater. And I'd stick with rune scim I like chocolate chip pancakesDO YOU?Barrows:Guthans Warspear x1Dragon:Shield left half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Stick with your Rune Scimitar until you decide to get a Dragon item. Getting the Halberd or the Granite Maul is not worth it, they are both expensive wastes. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

atronic92 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Keep your rune scimitar until you can get a dragon longsword or dragon scimitar. The rune halberd has a pretty narrow usefulness, it would only be useful if you wanted to fight monsters slightly above your level that were possible to safespot, but it would have to be for slayer or something because it would be very bad melee XP. A granite maul is also a weapon that is impractical for training as it is much slower than a rune scimitar so it would also offer bad XP/hour.
