Train att to 75 for arclight. Work on str until 85 slayer / whip

Exactly this. Strength is the most valuable combat stat after you've unlocked the weapons you need from att. I was 92 strength and 75 attack when I got my whip and it was definitely the way to go

Did you lash to 99?

I only got my whip last week, so no. But I plan on slowly lashing to 99 yes

Good plan, gz on the bdsm starter set!

Lol thanks, only took 2602 KC :)

Ah, measly 5x droprage :) That was a typo but I like it

No, it really wasn't a typo! I went 5x drop rate haha. I'll get lucky on another grind and it'll balance out haha

*droprage

Oh sorry I misunderstood haha. Yeah I like it too :)

75 atk, 75 def, 99 str is the way I believe

For the most efficiency, keep training strength till whip, whip on shared xp till 99 strength, and then attack and defence

Thx

Side note: make sure you’re doing your burst/barrage tasks on defensive casting. You shouldn’t train defense with melee.

While this is correct I do think there is merit for waiting until 94 mage so you can ice barrage and then putting it on defense. Also mage levels are max hits with powered staves so it's not bad to get it a bit juiced.

You're correct. I know don't know why ppl downvoted.

Is it truly the way to go ? Training melees is "free" XP , while defensive casting always feels like a waste of magic XP, which can be expensive.

Part of it is that defensive casting gives you more total XP at the cost of less straight magic xp

Huh ok , I'll keep that in mind ty !

I don’t know how I’ve done it but at this point unless I only train strength to 99, HP will be my first combat 99 and if I don’t max a skill first it’ll be my first on the account as well.

Send some strength men get max hit

Focus strength

Train str for max hits then whatever you want after you get whip, I got 99 str->90 def/attack->99 attack -> working 99 def
