Scotteh Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Is it just me or are these things quite decent Ranged experience? The broad arrows are the same as adamant and are VERY cheap - like 60 gp at full stock. -There's safe spots in the NW corner and it takes about 2 minutes to get there (fairy rings) -They have decent drops (White mystic body, 30 nats and a bunch of insta-alch items) -They would also be decent slayer experience, but I'm just killing them for fun. If you ever run out of food/arrows then the fairy ring is a 2 minute run away. Just jump in, fill up on food and visit Chaelder for some arrows :) So why do people say they're useless and pointless? :-s I like them O:) ^^ Support it or get confused by pixel-mess :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Buying the arrows is quite a pain imo, so I prefer maging them. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Umega Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 and are VERY cheap - like 60 gp at full stock. I wasted 50k on just 500 arrows and I only got round to doing half of my kurask slayer task with them until they ran out. The ranged exp I got for them was average though. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 500 for 40k, I've lost about 120 so far after about 16k Ranged experience. I think the exp is great, I usually train with Crystal which isn't renowned for it's speed -.- ^^ Support it or get confused by pixel-mess :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taito2004 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I think theyre slow, the arrows are too expensive, the runes are a bit expensive too.. theey are bad for melee, and I dont exactly rate the drops highly. Also, I cant use the faery rings. 92/99 Fishing | 119/120 Combat | 92/99 Firemaking | 94/99 Fletching | 1878/1900 Total | 85/85 Slayer | 80/80 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirlessWig Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Broad arrows are not the same as addy arrows. I hit 15 with addies on fast range, and only 14 with broad arrows, i do hit 15's with spec. And yes they are great xp, slayer and rangexp. Click here for my guide on how to solo the D Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncoz51 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Kurask is one of my favorite slayer tasks -good xp -great range xp -i always manage decent drops And don't say the arrows are expensive because you almost always get a clue and end up making the cost of arrows back through drops. woot go kurasks =D> fight caves defeated 3/10/06 at 96 combat 77 range99+ farming----99+herblore----99 range----99 thieving213th to 99 herblore, June 29, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onanica Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 the way i see it: the drops pay (mostly) for the arrows, plus, i'd better stop by there sometime soon to try for a kurask head (need to display my slayer prowess... rawr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemis_42 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 While Kurasks are quite good range and slayer exp, they get boring really fast. More often then now the drops pay for my arrows, but not always. At this point I only do those tasks in an attempt for a head, no luck so far after close to 1000. Judgeing by how many kills it takes some people to get one, I guess I have a lot of work to do.
