gorgoroth Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well ive decided to get myself to 99STR now. About 3.5mil away from it and it should not take me long. Since i dont yet have a Dragon Scimitar im just using a Dragon Longsword. Should i get a Dragon Scimitar though? Should i do Monkey Madness? Will a rune scimitar get me that final EXP so much faster than a Longsword? Ill probably never use a Dragon Scimitar ever again after 99STR. Im not really bothered about using a Longsword but if a Scimitar will speed things up by atleast 10hours then i will get it. What do you guys think? **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazel Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm really surprised you don't already have one. I would say get it, much faster than a longsword and every second counts. The quest really isn't that hard. SLAYERGEEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trottle Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Off course it is worth it, (although u should have done it 5m xp back) because the quest is not that hard, and will give you also 120k cb xp (35k which u can put on str). And when u do MM, u might better go on and do RFD as well and sara sword will do the trick as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purewcnub Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Why not just borrow or buy a saradomin sword? Goals: 94 magic94 ranged55 slayerAddy gloves-done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgoroth Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Faster Weapon=Faster hits=Faster xp So yes, i'd say it's worth it. Well look at it this way. While doing the quest im loosing out on atleast 400k Exp of training. Will that exp lost be made up by the speed of the scimi? And besides that, ill be doing a 6hour quest for just 3.5mil exp. ill never use it after that again... Why not just borrow or buy a saradomin sword? coz im poor. even more poor than a hobo :( **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trottle Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Its not a 6 hour quest! and like i said earlier, u get 120k xp back (35k str) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not to burst anyone,s bubble but the DDS will get you more xp per hour than the d long. That has been tested on dagganoths, a somewhat medium monster in terms of defence. As to the original question, you would need the xp rates of both weapons and an approximate time to complete the quest. Just do the math when you get those. I did my 99 str using the whip on controlled and using DDS spec to boost my str xp rates. Not the fastest way to get 99 str, but faster kills and faster drops.

DDs is around 10% faster than D long (44k xp per hour compared to 40k when I tested it like 2 years ago).

gorgoroth Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 On a certain wall? Meaning? And btw if a DDs is faster than a Long, then it might only e a fraction slower than a scimi if not the same. I think ill just stick with dds then... with or without being sticked on a wallll.... :?: **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the best option since i want to get my DEF and ATK up anyway. By the time i get 99STR ill have round about 94ATK and 92DEF, so ill be very close to my goals :) DDS is a bit slow at only 45-50k exp a hour. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langer Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 It's the best option in my opinion. Don't forget to spec DDS for added str xp. You'll get kills faster than scimmy, global xp faster too. You won't get 99 str faster, but if your ultimate goal is to max out melee, might as well do it with the more faster way.
