Whip...flail is only better than whip when you have full set.

get the full Verac Set and then use a flail. Otherwise, don't even bother with it.

This little predicament has so many constraints and variables with it that I can't use the Fast Reply to give you a well-thought response.

1. The whip is all-mighty with +82 Strength bonus and one-handed. It's quite viable for use in single-zone confrontations. If you need the extra strength boost, Amulet of Fury, Beserker Ring/Helmet, and Tokitz-et-xil (Obsidian Shield) will provide you with well over 100 strength bonus, meaning constant 30s on a low-medium defense player.

2. The flail is utterly useless without it's brother armour pieces. It boasts an impressive +72 Strength bonus but is one handed. However, two factors provide it with a viable chance against opponents: the fact that it is a crush/stab-type weapon, meaning Plate/Chainmail warriors won't stand a chance, and also Verac's entire special ability which allows a player to negate any armour bonuses.

If you're properly equipped, the Verac flail can get as high as +82 Strength but attacks at the rate of a Longsword. However, it is like a whip on no armour (if you had the full set).

The choice is yours...spend 3.4M on a 1-handed whip or go for 6.6M for the entire Verac set.

Get both if you can. They both are better than each other in different situations.

Flail is useless for training, even scimitar beats it exp wise because it is slower and also 2 handed therefore you lose the atk bonus or str bonus you could get from zammy book/obsidian shield.

Whip owns it in absolutely every way, bar str training but then scimitar is better than flail anyway so why bother.

I'd say go with whip. Best weapon I've ever used.

Yeah, flail is really useless without the rest of the set, just like all the Barrows weapons. Make sure you have a D Scimmy for str training if you buy the whip.

If you have the money, you might as well go with Veracs, in my opinion. Course, I don't play much.
