cuppy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I am debating which weapon will be more useful for training attack. Dragon scimitar is very fast hits moderate but has almost no attack bonus. Dragon longsword has massive attack bonus is slightly slower than scimmy and slightly higher hits. opinions?

SportsGuy Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Somebody will probably say neither (and throw out a godsword recommendation or something), but to answer your question, I'd say dragon longsword...though you didn't mention dragon dagger (with poison). You don't get experience for the poison hits, but it helps mow through some enemies quicker which I think helps keep me interested when training it.

Lets_3ekout Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 ^You should keep a clean Drag dagger if you want to do some serious training. Definitely use dragon scimitar, it has been proven to kill faster than d long a ridiculous amount of times, though it seems it just doesn't sink in to some people that it's better. Nevertheless, make sure you train on a PROFITABLE monster and the second you get 1.5M, buy the whip. Seriously, it's beyond comparison. Whip wins RS.

Troacctid Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The scimitar is faster for training, although both are surpassed by a toktz-xil-ak obsidian sword with a berserker necklace. (Unless of course you're fighting undead monsters with a salve ammy.) And obviously a whip is best, but I assume that's what you're training your attack for.

The_dmt1234 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 yes the obby sword with necklace is better, use normal attack pots to help only like 70 gp per dose train at flesh crawlers i got 60-65 str and 40-60 def there and got over 3m on another account ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanNo1 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 scimmy beats the long for each skill (exept if youre training controlled OC) There are three sides to every story: There's one side, there's the other, and there's the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troacctid Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 dagger wins over all. its fast and has a decent att bonus No, the scimitar is the same speed as the dagger with better stats. The dragon dagger is useful only for the special attacks. But like I said, the obby sword + zerker necklace beats all dragon weapons for training any time you aren't fighting undead. (Undead monsters, by the way, are probably your best method anyway...you just need a couple quests out of the way first.)

purewcnub Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 In a situation where are Dragon Dagger is not an option, go with the Dragon Longsword.

After all Jagex wouldn't make such a hard quest for a weapon that isn't as good as one from an easier quest.
