Zammy spear help

[Brit]

Hey, I'm looking for an alternative to the d-scimmy for strength training, and i was considering the zammy spear a friend recommended it to me.

 

 

 

does it even have a strength option?

 

 

 

and is it a 2 handed weapon like most spears?

 

 

 

Thx

No strength option.

[Brit]

ok, thanks

Probably your friend was thinking of its holier counterpart, the Saradomin Sword, which does indeed have a strength option and is the best weapon for strength training. It has the same strength & slash and attack speed as a whip, but it's two-handed. It's also very expensive, but if you can't afford it and you still want something better than a d scimmy, you can try an obby sword with a zerker necklace, which is better than the d scimmy and under a mil.

he was probably thinking of ss, which is quite good for str training. however, it is significantly more expensive..

I like how you always reply to a thread just saying what others have already said, without adding anything :|.

 

 

 

If you're not a pure and/or maxed, just using a whip on controlled is the best. If yes, just follow what troacctid said.

I apologize, usually i am only looking at the question, not the answers others have given.

I have seen so many people claiming that controlled training is the best method, but only attack and strength increase the rate that you get xp, so wouldn't training attack and strength up individually and then training defense while you have a higher attack and strength be faster than training all three at a slower rate?

It would be, except that in order to train strength on its own, you need to use a weaker weapon.

Ok, thanks :thumbup:

So are you saying that somebody with 90 attack and strength would be getting attack exp on the focused option at a faster rate using a whip than someone with 95 attack and strength would be getting strength xp using a sara sword on its focused option? because SERIOUSLY doubt that the gap in xp/hour is that large, even in a 91/91 to 90/90 comparison.

Bingo. I used to do controlled, then I (a) sold my whip (but I almost have it back) and (B) realised that my old method of att-str-def was actualy faster because I get the same end (1 up each level) but each level I get helps me train a bit faster. Even the def level helps since it means using less food, but I think att-str-def is best because the attack level gets you the most out of your strenth level.

So if i were wanting to have a general weapon to train attack def and use controlled for all 3, should i use a whip, or a zammy spear :?: ;)

Use a whip with a Rune Defender. Zammy Spear is best when the stab or crush attack options are far superior to slash; examples of this being at waterfiends or the corpreal beast.
