maul beats out rapier but rapier beats out zs at fiends (from what ive read) you might want to list what you do in runescape to allow us to give you the best advice. e.g: working on herblore *get herblroe scroll, solo arma~ get ccb I got all of the scrolls, so those are out of the way. I mostly do slayer + dungeoneering and the occasionale gwd trip with 2 of my better friends ( zamorak/bandos/armadyl) I always loved ranging, it was my favourite skill, until ranged became obsololete because of extremely overpowered melee weapons. So should i stay melee = get maul, or go back to my old love = ccbow Oooooorrr are those shield any good ? they look sexy :D
