BGS or Whip??

Featured Replies

It seems quite obvious, that if I train def or att, i should use whip, but what's more universal, cooler, and status-showing.. A Bandos Godsword or a Whip.

 

 

 

And btw, is bgs worth its price?

...on my way to a Def 1 Hybrid.. for the 2nd time - Wow !

Life is a cooler status-shower than a RS item.

 

BGS is worth its price, if you need it more than the coins it equals.

 

We don't choose things for you, that's what you have to do.

 

Ice burst is cooler. Ha, get it. So is Zamorak god sword, it has COOL special. Like, it freezes your brains out.

I want jagex to put resource dungeons and dungeoneering skill doors to dungeoneering floors so I can dungeon and get dungeoneering xp while I dg so I don't have to dg to get dg exp, but I can dg while I dg :)?

BGS is only good for lending to sell your junk.

I really dont understand your point in here, but I'm just asking people to give their thoughts about BGS OR WHIP, not something else.

 

i'll see what they think, and make a decision based on their experience too

BGS are a status symbol mainly :D

 

Whips are better though...

Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again

whips are enormously more effecient for training :D

The godsword's only purpose is for boss hunting and (very) high defence monsters in general because of its enormous accuracy and prayer bonuses. Otherwise, a whip is better.

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:

wips are better and bgs are finally going down in price so if you do decide to get one wait a few days

Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature!

Whips are better overall imo, they can also be used with a shield. Bgs is only for trying to get high hits. And if you die for whatever reason, Id personnally rather lose 1.2 mil than 20 mil. ;)

a whip and a dfire shield are an even better status symbol :thumbsup:

Wonder what you'd have to have in your inv to lose an item worth 500k in gen shop..

a whip and a dfire shield are an even better status symbol :thumbsup:

 

DFS sucks for training.

That does not make a DFS "suck" less, to put it bluntly. Any combination of potions can be used with any combination of weapons. Definately used a defender while training(except against dragons, obviously).

 

 

 

In most cases, if you're asking whether or not you need a godsword, you probably don't. The ONLY good uses for a bgs in my opinion are Bandos gwd, Zamorak gwd, DKs hybriding, First form KQ, and dark Beasts(from what I've heard, no personal experience). If you don't do any of that often... :thumbdown:

 

 

 

So get a whip. And spend your leftover money on buying some new useful armour or training up a few skills.

Whip hands down. I've borrowed a BGS and only used it for about 20 minutes before going back to my Whip I was so dissapointed with it.

Whip, definitely. I borrowed a BGS from a friend, it was such a let down... :( Save the higher hits, everything was not that great, especially the fact that you can't hold a shield/defender when using one. I ended up counting down the time till it would go back to my friend so it wouldn't take up bank space!

Personally I would go with whip because it is that little bit faster and I go for exp not looks. But it's up to whether you use whip or GS and it's up to you whether the sword is worth it.

i think that whip is better 8-) :thumbsup:
