SirTommy2005 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 For training purposes, I do have the cash to work with that, but are rune arrows relatively faster than bolts? And no chinning, unless jagex gives monkey skulls as slayer task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspeeder Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Broads, they are less expensive, and a rune x-bow is better in most cases to a magic shortbow (And dark bows are NOT good for training). Especially if you get a drag task, because then you can wield an anti shield. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTommy2005 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Not really worried about cost, just the dps comparing the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomcatLX Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Broad Bolts are great for everything hands down. The only time you need to switch into another method of ranging is in PvP (BH and PvP worlds... NOT Castle wars type.) and Boss fights. That is when you need Dragon Arrows/Dark bow or Rune xbow/Onyx bolts (e)/Diamond (e)/Ruby (e).

ghjkl Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Regard every post above this Rune arrows are better. Just compare the max hits and speed. Obviously most slayer tasks have horrible defence so accuracy doesnt matter. Divide max hit by speed and see which comes out higher. I guarantee rune arrows will. YOu said cost is not a factor, so 100% go with rune arrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecardj Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 broad bolts beat rune arrows. magic short bow stinks badly. Void and broadbolts, with sgs/unicorn/10% range pray/zammy book tanking slayer tasks is average 60k an hour exp. not bad all considering i averaged 80k for melee. that set up hits 40+ so its pretty solid Dragon Drops: 80+ boots, 7 med, 3 skirt, 2 left half, 2 Spear, 2 2hSlayer: 30+ whips, 4 Bows, 1 Mask, 3 Granite Legs, 1 Visage (Wyverns)Notable GWD Splits: Bandos Tassets: 12, Bandos Chest: 11, Bandos Hilt: 2Proud Slayer of 99 Att/Str/Def/HP/Range/Summoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuashakent Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wouldn't comparing them to Adamant bolts be a better comparison? [Summoning guide (AOW)] [Slayer guide] [Melee & Brawl player] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadukar123 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wouldn't comparing them to Adamant bolts be a better comparison? Adamant bolts is the same as Broad. If you want to disregard cost, Karil's crossbow is the best actually. :lol: Drops: Misc: Abyssal Whip x28 , Dark Bow x5, Beserker Ring x3, Warrior ring x1 Dragon: Dragon Platelegs x2 , Dragon Plateskirt x2, Dragon Boots x38, Dragon Med Helm x4, Shield left half x3 Godwars: Godsword shard x13, Bandos Hilt x3, Bandos Chestplate x6, Bandos Tassets x4, Bandos Boots x5, Saradomin Sword x1, Zamorakian Spear x1,.

Cptbaker08 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 If you wanna go by speed, wouldn't rune/dragon knives/darts be fastest? or the obby rings?

jijilentosmi Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Broad Bolts OR crystal bows are the best options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to disregard cost, Karil's crossbow is the best actually. :lol: It shows how much cheaper it is. ;) And I think the answer the OP wants is obby rings, although they've blown up in costs because people realized how great they are.
