Pivotto Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm currently training Strength, I have 60 Attack/Defence and I'm trying to get to 60 Strength now. I'm at 53 currently, and have both a Dragon Dagger (p++) and a Dragon Longsword. As of now I've been using the dagger for special attacks, and the longsword for my main weapon. I was thinking to myself and was wondering if the dagger might just be the better weapon to use overall. I know the stats are a little lower but I know it's also faster than the longsword. So my question is: For training purposes, which would be better? Using the method I currently use, or just using the dagger? By better I mean which would be faster. Any and all help is appreciated.

atronic92 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The dragon longsword is the better training option. Even for special attacks, I'd go with the dragon longsword. Its special attack is pretty good, and you don't have to waste time or effort switching to the dragon dagger for specials. "We will certainly not be gaining money or members with this update.

Vulxai Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I would cast my vote for the D long, as longswords are generally better than daggers in the fact that they will deal higher amounts of damage (which would equal higher xp), and the slight speed improvement of the dagger wouldn't justify training with it. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Hard Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thank you, I will put the dagger away in that case! As you'll probably pull it out again for specs when you get a scimi or whip, dont forget that you dont get exp for poison damage - so it's best to use a clean dagger when your leveling, not ddp++. ;> - Gid 'Rock Hard' boss pure - 60/60 Attack | 99/99 Range | 1/1 Defence | 44/44 Prayer | 99/99 Strength | 99/99 Mage - level 79 combat EOC ## '07 Server ## "Best Runescape update ever: Removing 6 years of updates."

On-topic, Scimitar > Longsword > Dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're after gold per hour then the extra invent slot from carrying a spec weapon in the first place might slow you down in the long run - always having to bank ever so slightly sooner, less loot per trip etc... ! ;> 'Rock Hard' boss pure - 60/60 Attack | 99/99 Range | 1/1 Defence | 44/44 Prayer | 99/99 Strength | 99/99 Mage - level 79 combat EOC ## '07 Server ## "Best Runescape update ever: Removing 6 years of updates."
