gorgoroth Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well I'm about 500k Exp from 99Atk. This will mean that i have finally reached one of my goals : Maxed Melee. Since i still want to get 99 Ranged and 85 Slayer i would have liked Slaying my way to 99 Ranged but i also want to keep speed in mind. So i find myself with 2 solutions. Option 1. This would be ranging for 99 through Slayer. I have about 20k Braod Arrows (not bolts) in my bank which i can use. This might take long but it would be killing 2 birds with one stone. Option 2. Make money with Slayer + Melee, then buy Chins for 99. I already calculated that ill need a max of 15k grey chins to get to 99 so thats gonna cost me about 7.5mil. This will be a much faster option. So which option should i take? Which will take the least time to make me reach both my goals of 85 slayer and 99 ranged? **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would go with option 2, and range on tasks where ranging is just as effective as melee. If it was myself though, I wouldn't even buy chinchompas. I'd melee to 85 slayer and tank avansies to 99 range. : PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellMC Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Buy broad bolts, range your tasks to 99 range. I already did it once and it wasn't that hard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspeeder Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If I recall you also had a goal of 250 mill, and although 7.5mil seems small in comparison 250 mill will take a long time to get and every bit counts.

Well yeah this was my first though but since i have 20k braod arrows which i cannot trade nor sell i was hoping to use them in some way. Maybe i can just use them on Aviansies afterwards. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calzo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Broad arrows are horrible tbh . Go with ranging tasks till 99 , i got 99 range that way and even though the exp is fairly slow it really doesn't feel like a drag unlike chinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptbaker08 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I would just drop the Broad Arrows. They are now junk. Better off using Broad Bolts and train slayer with range.

gorgoroth Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I would just drop the Broad Arrows. They are now junk. Better off using Broad Bolts and train slayer with range. I feel a bit uneasy just dropping nearly 1mil in arrows. Is there really no place i can use them? I used them on Black Dragons earlier and i seemed to get fast kills. also i have used them at aviansies once before and they got me faster kills than with Braod Bolts. **Thanks to Boo_Boy666 for my amazing Singnature**[hide=Slaytanicc's Achievments]|99Cooking achieved 24Dec 2008|99Strength achieved 17Feb 2009|99Hit Points achieved 8April 2009||99Defense achieved 29May 2009|99Attack achieved 2August 2009|99Ranged achieved 14August 2009|[/hide][hide=Guides by Slaytanicc]Aviansie Maging + Ranging Guide (Must Read!!)Iron Mining + Banking GuideGreen Dragons GuideAnkou Slaying Guide[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use them if you want, but broad bolts are much better. When using bolts you can use a shield since you're using a C'bow. They have about half the range str as broad bolts, but they are faster since you're using a bow. You get higher hits using bolts, you get faster attack using arrows. Its up to you. If worse comes to worse try pking with them :lol: . But since they are worth 0 now you wont get any credit for them as risked wealth.

ilovecardj Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 id suggest broad bolts with slayer. if you can get an sgs, you can tank nearly every task in void with a zammy book. this with a fury you can pray 10% range fairly cheap and get done tasks very fast. This is what I did and it went quite quick This is assuming you have a unicorn 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...

This is what I did and it went quite quick This is assuming you have a unicorn He is only 71 summoning, so he could not tank every task with void, but most are still do-able with bunyip + sgs (or EE). Most tasks have safe spots though, I got to 85 slayer with only range quite easily when I started this account (Skillz Ftw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecardj Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Id probly go with the void 10% route with a bunyip then. Though more safing would be required it would probly be the best. if your not praying you can probly just use a dfs with it if need be to tank more Broad arrows are definately junky to train with though I wouldnt use em 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...

ilovecardj Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Broad arrows cant be traded and now have a value of 0 gp in pvp worlds 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...
Nhs_Xc Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm kind of in the same situation as you, but my range level is a lot lower. I haven't quite decided what to do, but I am meleeing right now untill I finalize a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
