Is SS worth making 5m for?

Featured Replies

As the title says, i am looking to buy a SS so i can train my str. First, is the SS even worth it? Second, should i just do barrows to make the extra 5m, or just find another way to make the 5m?

No, it's better with a Dragon scimitar and Rune defender.

I have seen this debat before, so can i please have something to back it up instead of just a statement?

Actually SS is better exp per hour and has a crush option, where as d scim is horrible for many monsters because of only slash and a very weak stab. 2 pray bonus of ss is small but helpful when pray training which is the most effective kind.

 

if your doing slayer gargs and waterfiends are quite weak to ss and u cant even bother with scim on those. not worth it. also im pretty sure kalphites are weak to crush but i know for a fact d scim is horrible on them.

I trained str with my dragon scimitar, i had a SS for a while, but i like being cheap and i made the d-scim work, it didnt take too long to get 99 str with it from just slaying.

I'm liking mine so far

Finally on here to update that I have officially quit! It's been fun.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well, right? If you're going to train strength with a focused weapon, don't settle for less than the best. If it were me, I'd just train on controlled with a whip until I had enough money to buy the SS.

 

My advice is to get the SS, train your strength to whatever level, and then sell it back again. You'll probably break even anyway.
