I am curently trying to get 70 defence for barrows. The problem is: I am a ranger. Well, as I think most of you know, longrange gives horible XP to defence AND range.

 

 

 

I decided to go melee to get there. These are my current stats:

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, with 10+ more range levels AND 70 defence, my charecter would be alot better.

 

 

 

ANYWAYS,

 

 

 

The way I was planing on getting to 70 defence, was, like I said melee. I was going to get 60 attack and str, then work on defence until it's 70.

 

 

 

The reason I am posting this, is to ask, what way is best?

 

Should I get 50 str and 50 att, or just use range?

 

 

 

Please help me!

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

At the time, I am f2p, but I plan on going back to p2p sooner or later.

If you go p2p, try ranging in pest control and use the points for defence, so you can get the 10 range levels and get 70 def and have a lower cmb. Unless you're not 40 cmb. I don't know where to train def in f2p at that low stats, sorry. Nice range BTW.

yea, use melee

get ur attack to 40 and ur str really high (like 50) then start training with melee or you could try mage?

I can not do the mage due to my sad amount of money.

 

 

 

I will continue doing melee.

 

 

 

BUT

 

 

 

What should I get my str and attack to?

 

 

 

40 att 50 str, that doesn't seem like a good way? Can you explain why?

 

 

 

Also, stakers, how do you get 35 str, 70 att, 70 defence? Any tips?
