Althalus1988 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i know its a very popular wep and all but just wanted some people who have experienced the whip at lower cb levels. Im gonna hit 70 in atk/str/def soon which has been a goal of mine for a little while. after doing this im gonna treat myself to a whip i think cause i see a lot of them and they seem to hit pretty reliably and pretty quick. would it be a good investment for me? also about training; how annoying does controlled get? cause id like to level em fairly together if i can after the 70 mark. yep thats f2p..just waiting for my membership to expire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled is great, it's only bad if you can't go long without levelling. Anyhow, it's a good investment at any level. From 70 it's the best possible weapon you can get your hands on until 99. 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.

bedman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 it's the best investment there is on runescape, and with their 1.4m price tag, they aren't even that expensive anymore. Get one asap.

Althalus1988 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 right that seems pretty unanamous or whoever that words spelt lol. cheers for the advice guys, controlled whip it is.......on second thoughts might refrain from using those words together for a while, controlled whipping sounds oh so very odd :D yep thats f2p..just waiting for my membership to expire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trottle Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I did a lot of controlled fighting between att 92 and 96 Att, and was actually surprised how fast it was.....well not really faster, but it felt like more steady progress. And about the whip...it still is the best training weapon in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadinko Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 when fighting controlled you lose a very small amount of exp. Miseryism | Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureprayer Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 when fighting controlled you lose a very small amount of exp. Yup, you get 3.99 compared to 4 per hit for normal. That is not much but if we get 10,000 million xp you will have wasted 100k xp. That times 3 is 300k xp compared to controlled. Not to mention that if you get 71/70/70 and then 71/71/70 and so on to 71/71/71 you will level faster then controlled from 70/70/70 to 71/71/71 because you get the boosts of 71 attack and str before you get 71/71/71.

However, you can't train just strength with whip, so you would lose the advantage of that. D Scim isn't as good as the whip, and if you use a sara sword you lose the advantage of whatever shield you are using. I'm sure it's been proven that the whip is actually fastest overall.

It has not been. A whip is by FAR the best possible investment that you could make in this game, in my opinion. Controlled training is a bit slower, but if you don't want to use a scimitar and a sara sword is out of your reach, go for it.

Georgelemmons Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 As soon as you get 70 Attack, buy it. Actually, I'd recommend only training Attack until you can buy it. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althalus1988 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 1.4 mil then...well green drags and other methods it is then :D i actually prefer the d long over the scimmy....for pve stuff the specs better and although slower its slightly stronger yep thats f2p..just waiting for my membership to expire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWSentinel Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I bought my whip about 2 years ago, and it's still my main weapon (never lost it). My favorite thing about it is it's fast rep rate with a high str bonus. Good times. With potting over 99, it does a lot of damage in a short period of time. :) KoAClan.org for adults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWSentinel Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i actually prefer the d long over the scimmy....for pve stuff the specs better and although slower its slightly stronger For str training, d scim is the way to go. The rep rate is that of the whip, which makes up for it's "slightly" less str bonus compared to the d long. KoAClan.org for adults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
