How should I train melee?

Featured Replies

I have 43 attack 41 strength & 41 defense and I wanna get 50 50 45 asap. I thought that training them along with Slayer would be a good idea but it is slowing me down so much. Should I go to the rock crabs instead (you can recommend any other monster) or should I stay with Slayer?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance =]

 

 

 

I Also forgot to mention that rock crabs drop clue scrolls which I find pretty fun.

 

 

 

And are there any quests which give melee xp? I have done dragon slayer, waterfall quest, and vampire slayer.

^dds'er in progress =D

I recommend staying with slayer, the long term xp and profits you will gain are a lot better and more useful then rock crabs. Plus going and assassinating the monsters your slayer master tells you can be pretty fun when you look at it the right way :P

You got a good point but I can train up slayer another day. For now I really want for xp for melee so I can do other things. My slayer is 27 atm which is alright for my level so its not in desperate need of leveling

 

 

 

I'm heading to rock crabs now >.<

How many runescapers does it take to fix a lightbulb?

50, 1 to screw it in and 49 to complain that it was better before.

Banshees are awesome range exp, and you don't lose too much m oney when you cannon them in the Pollnivneach slayer dungeon.

 

 

 

Just take a full inventory of prayer pots and some super sets, and melee them while your cannon blasts away.

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

I can't remember, last time I did sumona was right back when she came out. I've been doing duradel ever since.

 

 

 

If I were you though, I'd buy 1k, see how far you get, and work out how many you need from there.

Cannoning them is cheaper than meleeing them regularly. Time is money.

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:

Plus the cannon is a 1-time investment. You aren't paying 600k for 1 task, you are paying 600k for every single task you will ever do in your future. Plus, when you cannon monsters, the cannon isn't used up, so you could sell it later. Therefore, the cannon effectively costs you 0gp, if you look in the long-term.

 

 

 

You'd only be paying for 1k cballs then. Cannoning tasks is ALWAYS the best option, trust me. A dagannoth task takes 1 hour-1.5 hours if you don't cannon, but 20 minutes if you do cannon. In the 1 hour you saved, you could make enough money to pay for double, or maybe even triple, the cost of the cballs you used.
