I think its mostly fact that Abyssal Whip is better, and I think most people would agree; let me check the stats of them both in our handy dandy combat guide real quick.

- Edit:

I suppose its debatable; the whip offers +82 in both Stab and Crush, where as the Scimitar offers +8 in Stab, +67 in Slash, and +66 in Strength; though it also has a -2 Crush, and a +1 for Slash Defence.

Whatever.

Well, I <3 d scimmy!

But, most people like the whip for many reasons:

-makes you look rich and powerful
-it's fast
-it's strong
-it's one of the weapons, that you need 70+ att for.
-you have to do a long quest for d scim.

Edit: I wrote "it" instead of "the whip"

Lol D skim= 60 attack.
Not 70.

And the whip is about the same bounes in STR only, but, the Whip is ahella lot faster so I say whip.

Depends on your method of use.

If you can use a Whip and you want to train attack, defense or controlled then chose a whip - also if you want to pk you should use a whip if you can (depends on your stats also - and whether oyu are willing to lose it) - the str bonus on the whip + it's slight speed advantage makes it > the scimi anytime.

Both are useful. Whip is better in training attack and defence whilst scimitar is probably the best weapon to train strength. I prefer longsword for its balance.

It's debateable. It also depends on what you want to train. I use whip for attack and defence because it hits about the same as d scim with almost twice the speed, and I train with d scim for strength because there is no strength option of the whip. :s

Whip and scimmy has the same speed.
Whip have higher att and str bonus.
Same speed and whip hits more often and harder, its better.
Unless you want to train str, than scimmy is better (no str option in whip, only att, def and controlled).

I use the whip because I train controlled.

I use the scimmy when doing training where I just want strength.

Once again, the answer is...it depends.

On the note of Monkey Madness, I'd say the demon isn't even 1/4 of the problem. It's those damned ninja monkeys running around and throwing me in jail, those steroided gorillas punching me across the village, the constant poison, going through that cave with zombie monkeys, etc., etc...

Well, I still believe it's all a matter of opinion, and it depends on what you're training like everyone said.

I'd PK with a whip if you're willing to risk it though.

To answer your question from the thread subtitle:

why is the whip 1.9m if it adds 82 strentgh and d skim adds almost tha

Dragon scimmy can be bought in a shop. Whip cannot. This affects the prices greatly.
