August 21, 200817 yr Okay now before all of you say Rune Scimi is the best weapon in f2p, first considder the options... On my journey to 99str i would like to use the weapon that would get me there in the least amount of time... At my current str lvl of 90 i hit 19with a scimi, 20with a rune long, 22with a b-axe and 23 with a 2h(not sure about war hammer) i know using a 2h is the worste option as it is way to slow... a warhammer is more or less the same speed as a rune long and im sure ill be able to hit 20-21 with it. a b-axe is slightly slower than the war hammer and rune long but hitting 22 is atractive... What would be the best weapon to use on my journey to 99str?? |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|
August 21, 200817 yr First Choice: Rune Scimy Second Choice: Rune Scimy Third Choice: Rune Scimy That was just the enforce the fact that Scimy is the best weapon in f2p for training or other purposes. If you dont believe it, test it out and you will find out.
August 21, 200817 yr Rune Longsword. Hits higher than scimmy, and not much slower. #653 to 120 Divination
August 21, 200817 yr Rune scimmy... Unless if you hit like 4 more w/ a long than a scimmy it's not worth it, speed is very important. (Why a whip pwns) Longsword isn't practical. It hit two higher. When he hits twenties that's like a ten percent increase. The speed is a 20-25 percent increase so every five hits you get twenty additional damage. (two) Also you get more consistent hits kills due to the law of averages. Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again
August 21, 200817 yr Rune Longsword. Hits higher than scimmy, and not much slower. 'Not much' is about half a second/hit. That really adds up, and the damage difference is less than 10%.
August 21, 200817 yr i'll say it depends on which monster you are training on...for a high level monster the rune baxe or long might prove to be better than the scim due to their greater accuracy (no point hitting very fast 0s) such monsters include lesser demons, cockroach soldier, ankous for example but if you are training on weaker stuff the scim does shine more... maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it

Yes i am thinking of going to ankou for a bit... witch do you suggest i use? b-axe or long? |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|
August 21, 200817 yr A scimmy for now would be your best bet. Or you could wait a while for the new p2p update and hope for a new f2p weapon.
August 21, 200817 yr with 85 attack, this isn't even a conversation, its a rune scim. I don't know why people still try to say that other weapons are better. Until a new f2p weapon comes out, the rune scim is and will be the best. 4031st person to 99 Thieving on 5/25/2008If anyone plays NBA Live '08 online on the Wii please PM me. I'm up for anyone.
August 21, 200817 yr Author A new F2P weapon would be soooo cool... actually now im hoping for something like that... something that would allow some1 with 95+ str to hit 30-40.. anyhow i guess ill just use my scimi then |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|
August 21, 200817 yr Rune Longsword. Hits higher than scimmy, and not much slower. Longswords are definitely underpowered. Unless you have very high strength the difference between the two would be insignificant. It's not worth the roughly 15% speed bonus that the scimitar offers. Rune scimitar is the best melee training weapon in F2P. Period. Oh, and rune warhammer hits at the same speed as a battleaxe, not longsword. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:
August 21, 200817 yr Rune scimitar would be the best choice. I would know, I've tried almost all of the F2P weaponry.

Seems Davidium know what he's talking about... in the past few hours ive been testing 2 weapons, rune scimi and rune b-axe at ankous.... b-axe came out tops...did three trips with each weapon and on all 3 occasions the b-axe got me more kills(witch means more exp and more money).

August 21, 200817 yr People applied the exact logic to the godsword - whip debate. Godsword was for high def, whip for low. But after extensive testing, the gs came nowhere close. [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player]

How long was that 'trip'? Go there for an hour, start the timer when you start killing and note the starting xp. After an hour of killing them (using strength pots, speeds it up), note your ending xp. Do this for both the scimitar and the battleaxe, at least 2-3 times for each weapon.
August 22, 200817 yr Author D jay99, what you said is exactly what i did and i did it for 3 times with each weapon, and 2 time again today.... i got a avg of 31k exp p/h with b-axe and only 25k with scimi... |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|

August 23, 200817 yr iron knives are better than bronze and his results came out backwards Pureprayer, you're awesome.
August 23, 200817 yr Rune scimmy.. 99 Strength Achieved 26/9/08. L0L in 3 years I've made 7m. In the past 2 days I've made 7.2m on top of that thanks to Bounty Hunter. So why play for 3 years when you can do that?
