Recently got 99 strength and in process made a killing. Mainly due to the increase of rune.slayer drop items since PvP has been released.

 

 

 

My original plan was to sell my Saradomin Sword and buy a Zammy Spear (for Waterfiends) and then buy 80 prayer. Leaving me with 15mil ish.

 

 

 

However I have done the above and still have 23mil so a Bandos Godsword is calling to me, especially as I want to max attack and defense.

 

 

 

I don't like wasting money and always like to have a spare 10 mil in the bank, just in case I die and lose stuff. However this isn't likely, and with the way items are currently, I will be able to bump up my funds very quickly. If need be I have 43k of ess I can craft to deaths.

 

 

 

My question is, is the BGS worth it? Obviously I will keep my whip for tasks I need a shield with (very few as I have blocked irons/steel) but goes the BGS go that extra mile? and is it worth leaving myself with only 3 milion for?

For training? short answer is no. I recently bought one too, it's extremely bad for training. If you want to max attack and defense, go with a whip, cheap and more effective.

Well Fatteh's right. He does have 99 atk and defence. ;)

 

 

 

Just go with the whip. BGS isnt worth it unless you boss hunt really.

Is the speed that bad on the GS?

Speed and accuracy is everything whilst training combat. Along with decent strength - and you have 99.

 

But no a bgs speed isnt too fail, its just that a whip owns it for training attack, and defence, due to the speed, cutting-power, and more often hits.

 

 

 

And even if a whip was only 50% good I wouldnt use 23m on that bgs.

Honestly the only reason I use the BGS for slayer is because I have an extreme dislike for the D scim, and I don't want to train strength on controlled.
