Eh I'd say 2h, because you are limited to lower-tier weapons compared to the gear of your opponents. I think you encounter less low-defence opponents in f2p.

2h is basically always better than a battleaxe of the same material anyway. The only time there's an argument about battleaxe vs. 2h is when it's a primal battleaxe vs. a promethium 2h.

Hi, basically because i do dungeoneering on my pure account, i dont want to get any attack or defence exp from it. So is there any good weapons in f2p dungeoneering which have a strength xp style?

Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price.

Uh, read the title. It specifically says that a weapon that can slash is desired.

 

Maul is pretty bad for dungeoneering anyway, and there's no reason to use it unless you're one of those 50 strength/1 attack pures or something, but since OP is f2p, that isn't likely. Even using the t4 2h would be better than t5 maul.

He was just asking for a weapon giving Strength XP only, and most weapons do this via a slash option (exempt - Whip).

 

Fractite Maul is the best F2p dungeoneering Melee weapon.

Not that I have extensive experience f2p dungeoneering, but unless there's a reason to believe that it's astronomically different from p2p dungeoneering, mauls suck. If you have any proof that f2p dungeoneering monsters are, for whatever reason, much tougher to kill than their p2p counterparts, please say that.

Maul is same speed as 2H, whilst having more crush and Strength bonuses. Also, the F2p monsters are actually easier to kill, thus making different attack styles less needed, which is the only Pro of the 2H as compared to the Maul, which juxtaposes your argument.

Amitoz, he was asking for a weapon in f2p dung that does 2 things: slash that gives a str exp, 2hs fulfills both of those criteria better than all other weapons.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, F2P dungeoneering has zombies. If there are zombies, you need slash. Period. Crush sucks on them.

So if the monsters are easier to kill it would favor faster weapons, which means while the Maul may beat out the 2H on slash/crush neutral monsters, the baxe would beat the Maul because it's faster.

 

Going even further if the defenses are really that low you could justify using a rapier on slash, which also trains strength.

 

Bottom line is that if defense matters, 2H would win because it can slash and crush. If defense doesn't matter as much, faster weapons such as the battleaxe win. Either way, maul is inferior to something.

 

Plus:

There are zombies.

Ok then i will probs go with fractite 2h unless there are any good reasons not to

Yes, if you're a pure, definitely go with a 2H. Don't listen to the guy who suggested mauls, they are inferior to 2H's because of the lack of a slash. The higher crush and strength doesn't work against crush-strong enemies (biggest examples: zombies). TRUST ME ON THIS.

 

Don't bother with stab using anything other than a spear. Since you're str only, just stick with slash and crush with the 2H.

 

Amitoz, I don't see how f2p monsters are "easier to kill". If anything it's actually harder than p2p because the level 100+ enemies and the defense of the bosses are still present, and f2p only has tier 5. There's a reason everyone uses spears/2H's + range/mage in f2p.

If you NEED slash, for whatever reason (It doesn't make a difference, use the 'best' weapon!), then use a 2H.

 

Having said that:

 

T3 Maul > T1 2H

T4 Maul > T2 2H

T5 Maul > T3 2H

T6 Maul > T4 2H

T7 Maul > T5 2H

T8 Maul > T6 2H

T9 Maul > T7 2H

T10 Maul > T8 2h

T11 Maul > T9 2H

 

While:

 

T2 Maul < T1 2H

T3 Maul < T2 2H

T4 Maul < T3 2H

T5 Maul < T4 2H

T6 Maul < T5 2H

T7 Maul < T6 2H

T8 Maul < T7 2H

T9 Maul < T8 2H

T10 Maul < T9 2H

T11 Maul < T10 2H

 

Basically, unless you can weild a Maul 2 tiers or higher then a 2H, use a 2h. If this is confusing, what are you attack and strength levels? (iPod, can't check, sorry!)
