August 23, 200817 yr Ahhh i can almost bet you this is going to turn into a flame war sooner or later, for some reason people hate all d cimi vs d long threads... OT 90% of the people will tell you d scimi is better... id rather say use what you enjoy more... |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|
August 23, 200817 yr You'll love see the high numbers of the dscim. Quest is annoying to do, but so worth it.

August 23, 200817 yr You'll love see the high numbers of the dscim. Quest is annoying to do, but so worth it. The dragon long hits higher. It's slower though, so the d scim is better for training. Use a dds to spec.
August 23, 200817 yr Both are horrible tbh Get a sara sword, or if thats to expensive, you should use obby sword with berserker necklace, on lunge for str training Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning
August 23, 200817 yr Author The reason I ask is because I haven't done the quest yet and I'm wondering if it is really worth it. I'm on the puzzle section and frankly I don't care to do it (I'm really bad at those), and if I pay, that adds another 200k to the cost of the scimmy, essentially. I am happy with the longsword, I like it, I am just wondering if a scmimmy is a lot better, and if I would benefit from the switch.

You'd get 35k xp/hour if you complete the quest in 3 hours, which is quite possible. Just do it.
August 23, 200817 yr I like the scimmy, but I guess it basically just comes down to a personal preference of slightly more power for the longsword vs. slightly more speed for the scimitar.
August 23, 200817 yr D scim, the speed makes it better. Quit. PM me if you play The Conduit to exchange friend codes.
August 23, 200817 yr Both are horrible tbh Get a sara sword, or if thats to expensive, you should use obby sword with berserker necklace, on lunge for str training They aren't horrible. Scimitar is better than the long, so go with that Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool
August 23, 200817 yr the same question can be asked for rune scim vs. rune long...if you find the rune scim better you will prefer the d scim too and vice versa so just ask yourself which weapon is more commonly used...d long would be for power and scim for speed but personally i feel that the extra speed > extra power 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
August 23, 200817 yr The scim deals more damage per second. Period. The only exception is if you're fighting something with high defense that is weak against stab, like metal dragons. This is because the scim doesn't do so well at stab. Join "DG Sweepers" Clan Chat for Dungeoneering Floors | Accepting all tipiters who are Willing to Learn |
August 24, 200817 yr Yep, "personal opinions" do not count here, its a matter of raw damage output. If seeing bigger white numbers inside of the red splotches is worth less XP for you, go for the longsword. For everyone else who wants faster XP, use the scimmy. Unless, as mentioned, your attacking metal drags with stab. I'm still unconvinced that that's actually better, but I haven't done tests so I can't argue :?

For the record the whip beats both, but I do see a significant accuracy boost with the long over the scim.

Whether or not speed>power or vice versa should not be affected by your personal opinion, unless you are an idiot. D scimmy is better for most situations, anyway. The exception is metal dragons, where the dragon longsword has an advantage because it has a stab option. 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 24, 200817 yr Author I guess I'm gonna have to go for the scimmy. Who can argue against faster xp? Once again, thanks.
