December 13, 200817 yr Today I completed The Great Brain Robbery (219qp ftw \ ) and fixed the barrelchest anchor. Later, I went to the duel arena to duel littleboy, and found that even with quite low strength (level 65) I was hitting 26's. Anyway, I was thinking, if people can complete the quest before they can buy/wield a Godsword might it be a good replacement? Discuss. :) Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.-Random Youtuber
December 13, 200817 yr Hmmm, I think I'm going to buy mine back now... isn't an anchor really slow? :| As slow as a battleaxe, which is the same speed of a Godsword.

December 13, 200817 yr That may be true, but I still favour my whip, even over a GS (I prefer speed) "Probably the worst thing I do is take bubble baths. But manly ones." No matter what the avatar looks like, I'm male
December 13, 200817 yr isn't an anchor really slow? :| and gs is super fast ? :| did i say that? :roll: i don't like Gs for the fact that they are so slow.
December 13, 200817 yr I guess i could be a replacement but I'd sorta expect that most people who have completed GBR have probably completed MM for a D scimmy or even be able to afford a whip or something. Both of which are better imo because of speed. Cant really speak for duelling though, maybe it would be useful. Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

December 13, 200817 yr Anyway, I was thinking, if people can complete the quest before they can buy/wield a Godsword might it be a good replacement? to reply at the real question... i do think anchor is a good replacement 4 pll between 60 and 70 att. allthou its quite slow it hits good and isnt realy that slow, but personly i never used it at those lvls (only did the quest when i allready could wear whip) but when i used it, the hits where nice even 4 my str. of course u have 2 like slower weapons otherwise scim would still be better [hide]visage drop 11/01/09goals:all skills 70+ (completed)all skills 80+98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER![/hide]
December 13, 200817 yr I guess it could be considered a replacement, but most would people would rather use a whip or dragon scimitar instead for the speed.
December 13, 200817 yr Hmmm, I think I'm going to buy mine back now... isn't an anchor really slow? :| As slow as a battleaxe, which is the same speed of a Godsword. speed of longsword
December 13, 200817 yr Hmmm, I think I'm going to buy mine back now... isn't an anchor really slow? :| As slow as a battleaxe, which is the same speed of a Godsword. speed of longsword Are you say the godsword is as slow as a longsword? Nope, it is in fact a battleaxe.
December 13, 200817 yr According to the official site, a battleaxe's speed equals with a godswords speed, longsword is a tad faster though.
December 13, 200817 yr It could be a decent replacement for very low levels. But once they start going over level 90, an anchor won't get you very far if in a fight with someone wielding a Gs. The stats, aren't too horrible, either. I've not got an anchor (Level 100, owned all the GodSwords) but for very low leveled it could be a decent weapon. If I were a lower level, and having to chose between a whip & an anchor, I would certainly go for a whip. (Could hit twice with it while an anchor can only hit once which is a rather decent advantage.

December 13, 200817 yr I believe you are correct, but there's a few con's in addition to pro's of using it. Pros: 1) It does hit very high for lower levels who can wield it. 2) It has a MUCH better special attack than a Whip/Scimmy - Anchor Special attack: (50% Special Bar) When using this attack, it doubles the odds of hitting the target. If successful, your enemy's Defence, Ranged, Attack or Magic level will lower by 10% of the damage done. 3) Higher hit KO potential than a whip as it can hit harder catching players off guard. 4) Its 2 handed, so you do not have to worry about losing a shield item slot on death. 5) It can use different combat styles, including crush, which is more effective on plate armor. Cons: 1) Slower than a whip/scim and thus has a higher chance to do less damage per time frame of a battle. If you don't get "high" hits on it enough to make your opponent eat, your [cabbaged]. 2) It is a non-tradeable item, and thus will not provide any loot for your opponent if he/she kills you. Some players may not fight you because of this. 3) Its heavy, so any running will be a little more drain on your run energy. 4) Its 2 handed, so you cannot use any accuracy boosting/def boosting shield slot items, such as a defender or Shield. Other than those, I know personal its a good weapon, even at higher levels, but not for training. Its a pvp specific weapon, as its to slow to train with.
December 14, 200817 yr Cons: 2) It is a non-tradeable item, and thus will not provide any loot for your opponent if he/she kills you. Some players may not fight you because of this. I believe you drop 230k instead. 66,275th to 99 Cooking 73,802nd to 99 Fletching 8,839th to 99 Smithing 71,320th to 99 Magic
December 14, 200817 yr One problem with the anchor... Its animation is very slow. Normally, with a godsword you can use it for a KO, switching from a faster weapon. That is because it hits just as fast as a whip for the first hit. However, with an anchor, its animation is alot slower than a godsword. That means if you switch from a whip to a GS, it is faster than a whip to an anchor.
December 14, 200817 yr I think most people disagree with this because the GS is still pretty new and being overrated. On the other hand, the anchor died out a long time ago because it came out a long time ago. I'm sure when cost and other factors are taken into consideration, the anchor may in fact be better for pvp (but not too great for monster hunting since it probably hits less overall).
December 14, 200817 yr Wouldn't an obby maul be better? It hits as hard as a godsword. 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:
December 14, 200817 yr Wouldn't an obby maul be better? It hits as hard as a godsword. No, it doesn't... It also slower, less accurate, and requires a berserker necklace, which you pretty much need the onyx and the crafting level or assist to get it, because no one would sell their onyx necklace for 250k.

December 14, 200817 yr no one would sell their onyx necklace for 250k. Actually yeah, they do. OH S***! He/she/it is back!
December 14, 200817 yr Next up: Dark Bow=GS for rangers? I do English to Japanese and Japanese to English translation for free! Just keep it under 5 sentences, and PM me to use my fluency in Japanese to your advantage!
December 14, 200817 yr I am level 107 and I love using my anchor. I was 3 iteming when pvp first came out (dont flame please) all the one itemers would try to kill me and then i hit 30 with no boots, they die, and usually with a wtf. The anchor is a great replacement for a gs even for higher levels and like others mentioned, the crush is extremely good on most armor people wear. I've fought people with gs's while using my anchor and have won at least half the times i've fought. More people should use anchor, I know I do Tip.it's official Ninja
