Sara Sword and karils I assume. Not sure on the inventory, depends if you want to pray range the whole time.

I thought zamorakian spear was the best?

Saradomin sword edges it out slightly. Since you're already 99 strength then you could get away with Z spear. It's only marginally worse.

Zammy spear has other uses too, like Aquanites, Corp Beast, and Dragons if you have the herblore level.

Thanks for getting off-topic. I already own one so need to convince me to buy one... >_>

Really no purpose to camping. The Bank is so close with the Fairy Ring there, just bring whatever and when you gotta bank, just bank.

Equipment is fairly obvious. For Inventory, what prayers are you using?

Void, SS, fire cape, fury, zerker ring, d boots. If you don't have void use karils/dhide + nezzy and barrows gloves.

 

Lunar staff, EE, uni scrolls, pure set, 11 prayer pots, leave the rest as room for drops. Use just piety prayer, redose your super set every 8 minutes (boosted max-8=repot level), bank every 32 minutes, bring a uni pouch with you and recharge points at obelisk. I got 110 crims/h with karils and 120/h with void using this setup.

@ Ancient Cavern

If you want multi-combat waterfiends you'd have to use the Chaos Tunnels, but those are only advised if you have an iron titan for a cb familiar. Go with a uni :thumbup: .

Seems like you have your answer, but if it means anything, i prefer the z spear over a ss. I have used both on them, and not only does the z spear have many other uses, it seems more effective on them because of its high crush bonus. I was beating out a maxed player using a SGS most of the time with a simple z spear and pure set.

This is wrong. Sara Sword is better than the spear, but the difference is small enough that the spear is perfectly acceptable.

Well I bought a spear already, and I plan on using the spear on Defensive Stab. I need defense experience. I'll be doing KBD for a while, I find it pretty fun and good charms.

 

Edit: Thought wfs were weak to stab, not crush. my bad =x

No, you are wrong. SS has +60 crush, Zspear has +65. The difference is small, but i found i was faster with a zspear, likely because of the crush bonus.

Extensive testing was conducted by a maxed player consistantly potting and praying, same gear...The SS outdamages the ZS by like 1k exp/hour, due to the higher str bonus presumably.

Drops: Black Mask.

Clue rewards: Sara Plate, 2 Robins, Some other random stuff.

You might want to compare the strength bonuses. From personal data SS is definitely better but ZS works if you don't want to buy one.

The str bonus is marginally lower, which equates to a 10-20 lifepoint lower max hit. The ZS, however, will make you land bigger hits more often than the SS. They are very similar, so whichever you have works, but i stick with the zs because its cheaper, and imo, better for monsters vulnerable to crush.

 

EDIT: Based on tipits calc, i will hit 11 lifepoints less as a max hit using a zs compared to a ss.

Attack bonus does not make you hit bigger hits more often, it makes you hit less 0s. Strength bonus does what you described by increasing your mean damage. Simulating what each weapon will help you with is great and all but based on personal testing, I wouldn't bring a ZS for 4k crimsons unless it would somehow mess up my bank.

Less 0s = hits more often = bigger hits more often. Higher crush means you hit more accurately while on a crush attack style. We clearly have opposite opinions based on personal experience. Agree to disagree?
