Dragon: Longsword or Scimi?

[RayOxide]

Dont say obby combo cause I cbf with it on slayer.

 

 

 

Dragon longsword or scimitar? I havent done MM and the chances of me dying in it are 5x more than the average scaper. I have dialup internet and every time I get attacked by monkeys after the jail area I get really bad lag.

 

 

 

Anyway, is it really necessary to use a dragon scimi? Or will a dragon long provide a mere 5 strength levels?

 

(After these im training controlled with my whip.) :)

 

 

 

Also, knowing I have to do MM one day to get dragon/barrows gloves, with my lag and dialup internet, should I use a computer with a broadband connection to do this quest if I go to someone elses house to do so?

 

(P.S. i hate this quest)

[michel555555]

it depends on your preference. do you want to hit a little higher or a little faster?

 

 

 

i prefer scimi however.

[Kellis]

I'd say to do the quest! You'll have to do it eventually, as you say. Maybe you could log out just before wherever you usually lag and then switch to your friend's computer? Or if you're going to do it on yours, make sure that you've got all other programs and tabs/windows closed to lower lag?

[Master_Smither]

Well since your going to do it eventually do it now and benefit off it while you still traing str with a scimitar. If you can do it at a buds house so you don't lag.

[RayOxide]

It'll be another week until I can possibly get to do it on the computer i'm talking about, and if i miss out next week it'll be 3.

 

 

 

Well. I'm using the d long right now and I kinda find it useful. ;)

 

 

 

And anyway it's only like what 5 levels..

 

New question - if i train whip on controlled - 85 all melee, should I stop using defence and train atk and str solely?

 

I do love defence though

[Kellis]

I'd say focus on the strength, if only because the whip can't do that.

[gun_hippy]

I'd say focus on the strength, if only because the whip can't do that.

 

 

 

Agreed.

 

 

 

Focus on strength, get it a bunch higher than anything else. Then switch to your whip, and get it equal to your strength. Make it so your att and str are both, say, 7-10 lvls above your def.

 

 

 

Then go on controlled whip to 99.

 

 

 

So, in my opinion go:

 

 

 

now:

 

att 77

 

str 73

 

def 76

 

 

 

D long (or scim) until:

 

 

 

77

 

80+

 

76

 

 

 

Then whip until:

 

80+

 

80+

 

76

 

 

 

Then controlled until

 

99

 

99

 

(probably) 97/98

 

 

 

hen finish off def on whip, it'll just speed things up to be working off higher assault levels from the off.

 

 

 

P.s., i'd get the scim, but if you're only doing it for say, 1m xp or so, it won't make a monumental difference. If you didn't want to use controlled to max out, scim DEFINITELY asap, but i doubt it'll make a huge difference for your purposes. Though you'll want it one day - even if not for training, you migth use it for say, quests or pking, where you might die and would rather not risk your whip.

[cat666]

Yeah strength is better to raise first.

 

 

 

You can use a SS though, so just buy/loan one of those as it puts the dragon scimmy to shame.
