Bronze Iron Or Steel Arrows?

[epeeflecher]

Bronze Iron Or Steel Arrows? isnt it the better the arrow the more it drops on ground or are bronze better because u can buy alot cheap?which gives more xp and will last longer with a 300k-1M budget

[Sjakie_1_1_3]

Use either bronze or Iron. They are almost as good, and are almost the same price (15-20 ea for bronze, 20-25 ea for iron). I personally prefer iron because they are easier to get.

[epeeflecher]

so your saying iron will last longer?

[Sjakie_1_1_3]

No, that doesn't make a real difference. I'm saying that there are loads of players selling iron arrows, and just a few selling bronze arrows. And therefore irons are easier to get.

[sigjicu0]

go with iron...easyer to get...can get for/almost for the same price as bronze..plus the hit like +1 more i think..

[epeeflecher]

ah gotcha ok thanks! \

Bronze, Iron Or Steel Arrows?...

 

 

 

Well, the max hit for each arrow type vs Range level is about

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bronze = (Range + 14)/9

 

 

 

Iron = (Range + 15)/9

 

 

 

Steel = (Range + 14)/8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, IMHO, Iron and Steel are really not that much better than Bronze.

 

 

 

In the long run, the better arrows will do more damage, but unless you are PKing,

 

 

 

I always preferred to make my money last longer by training with bronze.

 

 

 

(I got to level 80 in F2P with Bronze against Lesser Demons, lol )

 

 

 

Better yet, train down in the SoS on arrow dropping monsters.

 

 

 

That way you may be able to replace what you use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I always liked to pull the monster over to my safe spot by hitting it with a Curse

 

 

 

spell first. That way, all of my arrows end up in the monster loot pile when it dies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, pick up your arrows if you can.

 

 

 

You can average about 4 shots out of each one before they break.

 

 

 

Paying for 1000 arrows is a lot easier than paying for 4000 arrows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps

[epeeflecher]

yeah it did thanks

[omid_birgani]

it dosent make a difference what kind of arrow you have

[epeeflecher]

it dosent make a difference what kind of arrow you have

:-s yeah it does some arrows hit higher and some arrows cost more

[Captainkidd]

I find steel pretty good, there like irons just they hit higher and they not that much money, any higher (mith) things get in the 100ks+ Thats mostly why I like steel.

I use the best gear available to me. I used to train with mith or addy arrows, but now crystal bow and range pots. Best gear = fastest XP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The faster XP you get the more time you have at the end to make money back.. duh :roll:

And how much time do u get? Another hour? Compared to using an msb and bronze arrows, a cbow+pots is a truckload of cash more, and the time saved is not worth the money spent.

 

 

 

I say go with bronze or iron arrows

Clearly, you are both speaking from a different background.. However, if you're aiming for the higher rangelvls and can afford the cash, use the best gear. In the long run it will make a huge difference.

With all due respect, if one's ultimate goal is 99 range, using better equipment makes a huge difference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It may not seem like it when your levels are 30-40K XP apart, but wait until you have 250K XP till you next level. You'll do anything to speed that up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mith is about 10-25% better than Iron, and addy even better. If you can speed up your range training by 15-20%, you have time to do other money-making things like runecraft or Barrows or what have you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, using Red Chinchompas is the best way to train range, but that's a completely different story ;)

i use steel all the time i would suggest them but at the end of the day its up to you really

Crystal bow + pots is OVER DOUBLE the xp rate or msb with iron/bronze arrows. So, if you were training for 50 hours, you would spend about 5m in bows and pots. To obtain the same xp with bronze/irons, you would have to train for over 100 hours. Any idiot can make 5m in 50 hours :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, try to use the top spec gear: Ranger set, Ava's accumulator, glory (fury has the same range bonus), archer ring.

 

 

 

If you can't afford a ranger set then archer helm and snakeskin boots are a decent alternative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It cost me about 100k per hour, but I can make 300k an hour crafting nats. At the end of the day using the best equipment to train with just makes the most sense.. Imagine training to high levels with a D long because you didn't want to make enough money to buy a whip?
