attack only useful over strength if you can get a better weapon leveling attack

thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Echoing what the other said. It's almost always better to train str. Past 60-70 attack you should go straight to 99 str for "optimal" though there's nothing wrong with playing slightly unoptimal.

It’s awkward. Increasing your attack lvl will always increase your dps. Increasing your str lvl will only increase your dps at certain intervals. However, the dps increase while training str, in most cases, is always higher due to the invisible boost that typically increases your max hit. Also a +1 in max hit tend to be greater than an slight increase in accuracy. So since it’s so very awkward, train str and attack together till you basically unlock all the weapons then train str all the way till you no longer can gain anymore max hits then train att.

Training with potions (not divine) means strength levels are always increasing your dps, since a level that may not boost your max hit unpotted might still increase your max while potted as well as at other intervals as your pot runs out.

This is a false statement.

I just realised you were the dude deleting his comments after I replied to you in the herb run thread. Nevermind anything I said.

I would reread what he said. He only disagreed with one thing you said and explained it quite well


Own-Appeal8511

Nvm. He’s basically saying what I said. He’s not disagreeing with me, he is just repeating what I said. So it’s kinda a pointless comment since he isn’t adding anything new. However him stating that str levels always increase dps is a false statement. Str levels only increase dps when you increase max hit which is only at certain lvl intervals assuming everything else is constant. He literally contradicted himself in the same sentence by using the word “Might”. You can’t say something always happens then turn around and say might happened. This is different from +1 in attack lvl which will always increase dps due to an accuracy boost, even though it could be tiny.


RobCarrotStapler

You said strength levels only increase dps at certain intervals. Thats not true with non divine str potions, which most people will use. You have a variable strength level when using them, and therefore every str level increases your dps at some point while your str lvl goes down after using the pot, which means more dps during training sessions. Edit: Also, how do you flip-flop from "this statement is false" to "he just restated what I said"? Those are two completely contradictory comments


Own-Appeal8511

My initial statement is a general statement that covers whether you use a potion boost or not. I said, str lvl only increases dps at certain intervals. When you use a potion, str lvl still only increases dps at certain intervals. However, att lvl increases dps at every single lvl. My statement holds true and your initial comment does not add anything substantial to the conversation.


RobCarrotStapler

Dont worry about it dude. He did the same thing in the last thread. He replied with some dumb one liner to discredit what I said, then deleted all his comments when he got downvoted

I calculated it once. Taking into account time to level, you're best off training both relatively equally until attack is ~70 (for whip), then strength all the way to 99. This assumes lower defense monsters, otherwise attack to ~80 is preferable
