i know the rune longsword has better stats, but think about this. if the longsword averages about 150, and scimmy averages about 130(not including misses)after a two minute time period, scimmy overall hits much more higher then the longsword. and only pussies use longswords so cya suckers(longsword users)!

Isn’t the rune scimitar designed for lighter armor like leather as opposed to the longsword, which is good all around? So I’m guessing that a longsword is better in player vs. player situations like clan wars or other minigames.

This rune scimitar have moderate strength like rune long sword but rune long sword did more damage and was more accurate at hitting enemies which is what i found out and i agreed. But what made up for the rune scimitar to be the same as the rune longsword is its speed of hitting the enemy. scimitars are known to be the fastest weapons in RS so that is why evryone like to use it.

If you apply the Longsword vs Scimmy rate to Saradomin Sword versus Godswords, you’ll see that although Godswords are stronger, S.S. is still much faster training if you’re training in an area with monsters with weak defense.

I’m sorry to say but i believe a rune longsword is much more effective than a rune scimitar which I have tested and proven this. Here are my test results:

Using the following attack and strength levels I managed to get 39k xp an hour on flesh crawlers with a rune longsword.
*52 attack
*56 strength

I did the same test with a rune scimitar and only received a mere 23k xp an hour on flesh crawlers.

The reason there was such a significant difference was because of the rune longsword’s increased accuracy and strength at only the cost of 1 bar slower than a scimitar, although I have not done these tests with the other types of scimitar and longsword I still recommend using a longsword over a scimitar.

Thank you for reading this and I hope that I have changed your views on what weapon you should train with.
