Arrows VS bolts on F2P?

Featured Replies

So yeah: I got a budget of 9k and I'd like to train my ranged; I can either buy 1,600 of bronze arrows or 4,500 bronze bolts.

 

In such situation, what would be the best to buy?

Cheers. ^^

Hm well to me it sounds like the bolts are a better option, as there are a lot more of them... so they're going to last you a lot longer.

Also something you might want to look into is ranging Minotaurs in the Stronghold of Security, they drops lots of arrows.

I would go with the arrows, as the crossbows in f2p are just sad. Even though you may get more bolts for your money, you will be able to get your goal range level quicker with arrows and be able to make up your money in a shorter amount of time than if you used bolts.

I say use bronze arrows ranging minotaurs. Then pick up the iron arrows they drop (which is tons) then later on you can use them :) You wont even have to spend anything on arrows cuz the ammount they drop. you wont need food, there is a safespot

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest;

Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Arrows. Shortbows are faster and stronger than crossbows, so you will train faster, and assuming you kill minotaurs, you'll get iron arrows in drops faster than you can use them up anyway.

Keep in mind that it is VERY hard to buy bronze and iron arrows now. You're best off gathering arrows yourself.

 

Kill minotaurs with melee, until you get at least 1k iron arrows. Afterwards, with your maple shortbow and green d'hide, range the minotaurs, while collecting every single iron arrow drop.

 

Why shouldn't you buy arrows? Two words: personalized shops. They ridiculously decreased the supply of arrows, which made them unbuyable, almost.

Yeah I noticed that. xP

Like last time on my main, I bought wanted to buy 100k arrows from the GE and like maybe a month later, not a single arrow came to me. >_>

And it's not like I've been active on Runescape when the personalized shop came into being. xP
