Help for a soon to be new Mem- Str Training?

[Xantos000]

Ok, after playing for a very long time, I've decided that sometime in the next 2 weeks.... I'm going to become a mem. Now, money isn't really that much an issue for me (being "rich" for f2p with roughly 12 mil), but what is the best str training weapon? I was looking at the Sara Sword, and that looks pretty good. I know abysall whips are best overall, but is the dragon scim or ss better for str training?

 

 

 

Also.... what should a lvl 80 or so start doing in a mem world? There seems like theres just so much....

Sara Sword is the bet str trainer

I'd get the sara sword, but also do alot of member quests, if you haven't already then can unlock many great training places you wouldn't be able to get into without doing them. Definitely do waterfall and monkey madness.

1. SS is two handed with a pretty decent special

 

2. Dragon scimmy is good as you can have a shield, but you need a few quests to wield it

 

3. Zamorakian spear is pretty decent, but again it's two handed

 

4. With whip you can't train strength, but you can train controlled.

 

 

 

I just chose depending on what monster i'm going to kill, if it's a monster i can manage fairly easily - i don't have to worry so much about a sheild, so an SS is good. But if it's a harder monster i would opt with the dragon scimmy and shield option.

 

With some monsters you can take advantage of their vulnerabilities (ie Waterfiends are weak to a crush attack, so one would opt for an SS or ZS)

 

 

 

Personally i use whip for virtually all training.

 

 

 

You also have to look at the requirements to wield the weapons (ie 70 attack for SS and whip and ZS. 60 attack for a drag scimmy)

 

 

 

5. Start with a few quests, check out new skills and weapons/armour and areas.

As to answer your original question as to what to use, I'd go with a Rune Defender and Dragon Scimmy, you can get alot of black kinves and the Cyclopes are also really good experience and no one ever goes there, I got from 70/70/73 to 80/85/80 there and made tons of money from the drops too.

It has been proven that the Toktz-xil-ak in conjunction with a Berserker necklace performs better than a dragon scimmy for strength training.

Irrelevant, DDS is far superior.

I'd like to say i didn't say it was better than a DDS special, i simply said it had a decent special - and it does...

 

 

 

(And off topic, how do you always manage to want to start an argument with me? - even when you have no experience yourself?)

Wow, thanks for all of the quick responses.... I think I will buy a SS and a Whip (already planned on this).

 

 

 

Another couple of questions;

 

Currently I am a zerker pure with 45 def; I think I'm going to bring my def up to 70 for barrows, so I was wondering, what does everyone think about using just.... rune..... til 70 def? It shouldn't take that long especially with an abysal whip, hence my questions.

 

 

 

I've already started looking at the quests I should do and I had planned on doing at the very least,

 

Monkey Madness

 

Lost City

 

Heroes Quest

 

 

 

Thanks for the tip about waterfall, I'm adding that as well. What are some other "must have" quests?

Rune is good for until 70 defence, you could switch to some dragon armour if you fancied at level 60.

 

 

 

I can't remember the names of half the quests i recommend you do, but i suggest doing these....

 

 

 

~ Hand in the sand (84 buckets of free sand per day)

 

~ Tears of Guthix for free exp in your lowest level once per week

 

~ Throne of Miscellina and Royal trouble (Basically free money - clicky

 

~ Cold war - gives you extra exp in the Penguin hunting minigame which is an excellent source of free exp.

 

~ Drudic ritual (to start herblore)

 

~ Priest in Peril - Unlocks the region of Morytania

 

~ Plague City - Allows use of Ardougne Teleport spell

 

~ Wolf Whistle - Unlocks the Summoning skill

 

~ Recruitment Drive - Allows you to buy some good armour, and set your respawn point to Falador

 

~ Shilo Village Quest - Get access to Shilo village

 

~ Fairy tale part 1 + 2 - Gain access to fairy rings (very helpful transportation device)

 

 

 

Do lost city, heroes and monkey madness too :)

 

 

 

Hope this helps
