Which one is the best for strength training?

D long hits more but is slower.
D scimitar hits a bit less but is faster.

Which one do you prefer?

I personally prefer Scimmy because it looks better and is faster.

After I completed Monkey Madness in Summer 05 I got rid of my longsword and used the scimitar until January 28 (guessing with 28) 2006 when I managed to get enough money for the whip. I didn't use the longsword after until I was trying to hit really high.

The scimitar delivers fast consistant damage as well as advertizing you have done a moderately hard quest, as well as looking good it's special can make or break a duel.

The longsword hits harder at the cost of being 1 slower than the scimitar, it is much easier and cheaper to obtain as well as having 4 specials in one bar that hits with increased accuracy and strength.

Get a scimitar.

I personally own 2 scimmys and 1 long, but i use the d-scim way more than the d-long, i normally only use the long to max out or something. (But the whippeh owns all)

d-scim for life

I'd say get both xD, just spec with dlong for nice 30ies, and continue with scim.

Btw, why does everybody use rune scimitar over rune long? because it's faster, and only a little bit less powerful.

Maybe because the longsword looks like a stick.

The sandbox was very rarely used by moderators, site owners and admins, it was used by the regular member to have "fun". Flame baiting, spamming or whatever, I think it would have been only fair to ask what everyone else thought first. Regardless of the outcome, it would have been a lot less selfish (because removing it like this is) and would have gotten a much better response.

I think the scimitar is, because once you get high strength, it does more than the dragon long, because of the faster attacks, and it is only like a difference of 1 damage.

Fast constant slashes > slow unstable slashes.

Don't bother about specs, max hits, etc, because there's various items to cover that up.

Specs - DDS.

Max hit - You're better off hitting 3 20's than 2 25's. Again I emphasise "Speed>Power".

Scimitarrr.

Dump the Dragon Longsword. A Dragon Mace's specials are better than a Dragon long's just a bit slower. Theres also the Dragon Dagger which was previously stated.

Dragon Scimitar is best for training.

Why get a 99 quickly when you can enjoy the skill for a longer time and make a lot of money in the process?
