I'm about to hit novice swordsman and im maxed out on combat xp. So I can automatically hit 0/0/0/3 and get the ability to use the scythe. My question is, generally what's a better weapon, the scythe or the hammer? Any info would be great. Thanks guys!

No but seeing as how the Scythes come out at about 2.7 speed compared to the hammer of about 5.3 speed for grinding (esp. up the speed line) the scythe wins hands down.

I would say Damage sliced Hammer and Speed 2 handed actualy. Use the 2 Handed to grind up the speed tree after getting tech 1 for the spin attack. I have one that is 60-220 at 1.8 speed and I rip through stuff with that baby. Always have. The 1.8 speed is great verses most oponents and the speed slice on the hammer doesn't realy help that much from what I can tell. It is still realy slow. But getting a 30% damage slice on a 450 power hammer is realy nice for damage output.

Mad XP is Dath with my Curved sword. (2.3 minutes per baz nitch lair after 0010) Just spin attack the lair till everything is dead. and you can kill the lair off then. Sure they will be healing the lair but they will pop out of the lair too. Nice XP

man people still creat 450 max power hammers never tought i would ever see that max damage on them again

Also 60-220 1.8 on a 2-hand curved sword isn't good at all. ether your server has crappier resourses then tarq or your weaponsmiths dont know what they are doing. but i'm going for that they have crappy resourses seeing that they are the newest server in town

Generally the scythe will be a better weapon unless you have +speed skill tapes or an acklay power hammer. The hammer is not very useful until you can get your speed mods up there, but it does do blast damamge which is better vs. certain opponents.

Get a speed sliced powerhammer and a damage sliced 2 handed curved sword. Use the sword until you are 0400. Then head to Dathomir and pull out the hammer. Mad xp there.

I grinded the entire skillset (except the 3 combat xp boxes which I already had enough combat xp for) with a scythe and it worked beautifuly, even in the lower levels it almost never missed and packed a hell of a bunch, nothing easier then sitting in the middle ofa picket lair and just hitting an aoe attack with it, quick and painless.

My scythe I'm using atm is 2.8 speed, 207-360 damage and it rocks. I started as you are with maxed combat xp and trained to 0-0-0-3 right off and I'm currently 0-2-0-3 . Like others stated , start with a speed sliced twohanded curved sword, mine is 2.0 speed with a crap slice for example, its pretty quick. Once your to the level I am move to the scythe then once at the top of the speed tree use the hammer. Basically use your faster weapons first then use your high damage hammer .

May I ask what good stats are on the scythes? They usually cost around 250k-300k on my server and I dont want to get ripped.

My alt Kirassi is a master weaponsmith ,I made all my scythes. I have 4 right now, sold a few, and two more schematics.

The scythe does way more damage than a two handed sword or cleaver and almost as much as a power hammer.
