I was looking at some rune weapons lately. I am boosting my attack to lvl 40 to get me a rune weapon. I will also get my defence up to 40 for rune chain, legs and full helm. I will also get dragonshield for elvarg....

 

 

 

I was looking at some high level f2p the other day, the best they could buy is rune ofcourse and 90% of them were using rune scimi. also when I go to tip.it general forum I see dropparty's where scimi are being dropped. but let's look at the stats:

 

 

 

rune scimi:

 

 

 

stab+7

 

slash:+45

 

crush:-2

 

magic:+0

 

range:+0

 

 

 

bonus:

 

+44 strenght

 

 

 

defence bonus:

 

slash:+1

 

 

 

rune longsword:

 

 

 

stab:+38

 

slash:+47

 

crush:-2

 

magic:+0

 

range:+0

 

 

 

bonus:

 

 

 

strenght:+49

 

 

 

defence:

 

 

 

slash:+3

 

crush:+2

 

 

 

So it looks like the longsword is better, if I remember correctly they will both cost 2 rune bars. So price shouldn't be a problem.

 

 

 

even battle axe ownes the scimi:

 

 

 

stab:-2

 

slash:+48

 

crush:+43

 

magic:+0

 

range:+0

 

 

 

bonus:

 

 

 

strenght:+64!!!

 

 

 

So the scimi has only one good attack, the rune longsword has 2. and if you want to kill an enemy wearing lots of armour, then use the battle-axe. So why do people use scimi? just for fun or is it because of that little advertising for al-kharid??

Scimitar is used because it is fast and hits quite well.

I didn't look at that yet, that's something I forgot. thanks for the tip.

the scimi has 6/10 speed, the long sword 5/10 and the battle axe 4/10. that would mean that the slash of a scimi is better, but still lacks in stabbing. does this do any damage to training? will I traing something less quickly?

In f2p, using a Scimmy is faster training than a Long or B Axe.

hmm okay, any other person who can comment on this? So people use scimi because it's faster, not because of better hits..

I have no idea, where can you get a rune scimmy?

it's a p2p drop if remembered correctly or buy from player. I don't think there is a f2p shop for it, there isn't a rune scimi at champions guide for sure.

yea u should use scimmy
