Goldenjkered Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I was just wondering if Saradomin Sword is that much better than Dragon Scimitar + Rune defender. Sara sword has +11 more strength, but D scimmy and rune defender have +4 slash attack and 18 - 20 defence bonuses from the defender. I don't really want to rake out 9.5 mil on a weapon that looks horrible. Are there any other alternatives?

stonewall337 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It adds up to a few k more xp/hr. I got SS because it was useful for WFS, and I wanted faster xp, but I sold after 99 Str. I'd get if you can afford, but its not worth busting the bank, or even spending all your cash on, or trying hard to borrow.

aspeeder Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It's around 10k/hr exp difference in the Sara Sword's favor; but if you prefer the look of drag scim + def then it's a decent way to train str. Just realize that if you don't get a Sara Sword you'll probably need to get a Zammy Spear as a crush weapon. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get if you can afford, but its not worth busting the bank, or even spending all your cash on, or trying hard to borrow.^ Agreed.I even bought back my Dragon Scimitar for FoG. You could borrow one and then try and see if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'm getting 99 Strength right now. If you're serious about 99 strength or waterfiends, get it, but otherwise don't bother. I piety the fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Kurity Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 If you can afford SS, i dont see the disadvantage to getting it as long as you dont get it before a crash or something stupid like that. Assuming it doesnt crash, you can always sell it back once your done, infact you may even make a profit. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Zaros Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Lend it for a day if you can and just decide how you like it. Definitly a better exp rate, especial is kind of fun, least alot more fun than scimitar.

geesch Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Whip>SS>D Scimmy. The truth is, whip on controlled will give you the fastest overall experience. You will not be training one skill at once with a whip, but if you were, you would get more exp with a whip and defender than you would with a SS. Anything other than a whip (excluding chaotic weapons) are simply not efficient. If you are a pure, fine, use a SS, otherwise use a whip on controlled. If you refuse whipping, SS is far better than a D Scim. No questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
