The Value of a SS

[Jwviper]

When I get enough money I might want to buy a saradomin sword. I'm not trying to get a 99 melee stat or anything, I just really think they look like a good weapon. Are they worth the money?

 

I compared it to a whip and it doesn't seem as good as a whip/defender.

 

Opinions?

[Seraphi]

SS if you want to train strength.

 

Otherwise, no, whip is better.

[Lets_3ekout]

Not really, if you're not serious about getting either 99 strength or a very high strength level (92-99) then a whip is superior in just about every way. A whip is just a one handed saradomin sword without the prayer bonus. A shield can easily make up for that.

 

 

 

What you can do is lend it from GE. By which I mean, just buy it and if you don't get screwed by a merch clan you should get your money back later. I wouldn't recommend this right now though, the GE is extremely unstable at the moment.

Saradomin Swords are good for pures.

 

 

 

If you're not pure stick with Whip and rune defender.

[ladycai]

For 99 strength yes. Afterwards it's just lend/sell.

I really find the SS useless. Even my friend who has maxed melee skills doesn't know what people see in it.

 

Stick with a Drag Scimmy+ Rune defender, that's my wep for 99 Str.

 

Anyways, I checked the Slash for Drag Scimmy+ Rune Defender agianst the SS, Drag scimmy has the higher slash stat.

Attack is unimportant for training, since anyone with half a brain will train on something with low defence. SS boasts an enourmous +11 strength over scimmy+defender.

 

 

 

SS is great for what it does, it kills any other weapon for strength training. I still stand by what I said before though.

Whip is a fine weapon as it's not 2h and fairly fast. If you want the strength, use ss, if not, stick with whip. =D>

To clarify (sp?), lets not make this an argument, but a debate. I super attack potted with the SS and still hardly hit, I hit more often with the Dragon scimmy, maybe not as high, sticking around the low 20's, but im still hitting. When I hit with the SS, It'll hit like a 25, 2 hits higher than my max with a drag scimmy. Really, its just an overpriced weapon with not really a huge difference.

What were you attacking though? At armoured zombies/zombie monkies it should hardly be any difference at all in terms of accuracy...

 

 

 

It's really not all that overpriced considering you can sell it right back, but I 'spose that varies from player to player.

I was killing Dags and Yaks, and it would be overpriced for someone who spends how ever amount of time making the money.

It has a crush option which makes it good for training with slayer. the 2 pray bonus helps as well as everyone should train with at least 10% str

 

 

 

D scim is junk

Crush is only good for Waterfiends.

 

 

 

The prayer bonus can be substituted with Whip+Unholy book or Falador shield 3.

[Championfurydelta123]

I suppose a SS is the best weapon to train strength with as it is whip speed and has a pretty good str bonus... however other than that a whip is better unless your trying to get rid of some junk :

Lol not really, but to each their own.

whip>ss>obby split sword w/ zeker neclace>dscim

K, so you could always just sell it back once you're done, assuming it won't crash. I think I've read stuff about how ss is 5-15k exp more than dragon scimmy so if you have the money, just get it.
