How to train DEF faster? Range or Melee (F2P)?

Stats:

 

 

 

Att 85, Str 85, Def 90

 

Range 99

 

 

 

Question:

 

 

 

1. How's the attack speed of Maple Short Long Range comparing to Scimmy swing?

 

 

 

2. Without picking arrows, which way will train DEF faster?

 

 

 

The answer to this question will determine whether I should continue stacking training arrows, so kinda wanna know in advance. Thanks for your advice.

Training defence using melee is defenitely faster, you should be able to get ~35k xp/hour with melee, but you'd never get 70k xp/hour using range.

 

 

 

The shortbow is slightly faster or the same speed as a scimitar.
