Hello evreyone!
This is my first post, so please be indulgent.
I have decided to create a post that will infrom people who are attempting to create melee pures to help them level, in free to play area, and some pking tips.
I think this thread will be usefull because it will explain where to train, what equipment to bring, and also some pking advices.
The diffrent type of pures:
Strength pure
Range pure
Mage pure
Hybrid
Prayer beast
Skiller
1. Strength pure
Character with decent attack (40-60) high strength and the rest of the combat skills 1.
This type of pure is prefferd by alot of people because it requires only a rune scimitar and amulet of strength to start pking, unlike the other ones where you need runes and\or arrows.
Training:
1-15 attack and strength train it on the chicken north of lumbridge, or south of falador. Equipment: full iron armor, leather boots or stronghold of security boots, any cape,amulet of strength, and an iron and steel scimitar. Don't buy black its a waste of money.
15-25 attack and strength is recommended to be trained at the edgeville men's, the monastery monk's, the cows west of the crafting guild , the goblin village goblins or you can keep on with the chickens. Same equipment as above except this time use a mithril scimitar.
25-40 attack and strength can be trained at either, the men's north of edgville bank, the stronghold of security; minotaurs, goblins and such. The scorpions in the dwarven mines, or the pirates in the blurite cave. Same eq as above except at 40 attack get a rune scimitar to train (MUST)
40-60 attack and strength should be trained against either al-kharid guards, hobgoblins west of the crafting guild, flesh crawlers in the stronghold of security, mens north of edgeville if you don't want to waste food, or the varrock sewer: zombies, skeleton, ghosts etc. Same eq, as above.
if you stopped at 40 attack and want to max out strength...
go train at the al-kharids if not crowded, flesh crawlers hobgoblins. Pretty much any creature that has good enough hp and dosent hit that much.
Also there is diffrent type of strength pures such as:
The Iron Pure:
Attack: 40
Strength: 60+
Defense: 1
Mage: 1
Range: 1
Prayer: 1
These pures like to have low defense, and have higher strength to hit higher. These are the most used pures, and are very common. They usually wear full iron to give out max defence agsint ranged and melee attacks.
The Steel Pure:
Attack: 40
Strength: 60+
Defense: 5
Mage: 1
Range: 1
Prayer: 1
These pures are usually made because the pure owner might have "accidentally" gotten 2 defense and said, "Might as well get it to 5 defense." These pures are rarely seen, and are usually never purposely made. They usually wear full steel sets.
The Black or mith pures:
Attack: 40
Strength: 60+
Defense: 10-20
Mage: 1
Range: 1
Prayer: 1
These pures are usually made purposely. There purpose is to kill rangers or steel/iron warriors with ease. They are rarely seen. They usually wear full black or mithril armor.
The Rune Pure
Attack: 40
Strength: 60+
Defense: 40
Mage: 1
Range: 1
Prayer: 1
These pures are also made purposely, they are made to kill without getting hurt quite as often, they are usually very high levels, and kill decent amout of people.
Places to pk:
Well with the introduction of the pvp world system, you will mostly see alot of pkers in lumbridge and varrock. so those would be the recommended areas.
Watch out for PJers (player jumpers) Who will wait untill you win the fight and pop up with a rune 2h, potted and prayed, to try to K.O. you.
When your going on a trip to go pking, always bring the best food available : Lobsters or Swordfishs are great
also, your main weapon should always be your rune scimmi and your K.O. weapon your rune 2h. bring some strength pots, an amulet of strength, full iron, unless you fight a mage remove it.
Before trying your first pk attempt, I suggest you to go duel against players your level and levels above you, to know what you will be facing, and to help out your K.O. technique.
Knock Outs:
Scimitar and 2h:
- When fighting someone that is at about 1\4 of his hp you can K.O. him by surprise usuing this technique, make sure you have drank a strength pot, then when your character raises his scimitar, quickly switch with your 2h and click on your opponent, this should inflict dual damage wich can K.O. your opponent. This technique takes alot of practice to master, so I recommend you to go duel with ppl and to practice there until you got the hang of it.
Fake run K.O.
When fighting someone, try this other K.O. technique; When your hp is lower than your opponent has about 1\3 to 1\4 of his hp walk like 2-3 tiles away, he will think your running away and will forget about his hp and try to finish you. That is exactly what we want, so when he comes back to you, wait till your scimi is raised then switch to 2h and finish him. Always remeber to be potted for maximum damage.
P.S.: Always practice your techniques, you only get better with practice!
Also, if you die , dont give up, no one is invincible and this is just part of the game!, just buy yourself another scimitar, 2h and etc and go back pking!h):
Always bring 1-2 strength pot and use them, they increase your strength, thus making you hit stronger, but use this if you can get your opponent over confident of himself so he lets his hp drop a bit...
Always remeber if you mess up and get 2 or 3 defence, its not all that because your character is not ruined, you can still keep on pking and enjoy it, plus it gives a little more defence against player attack xD
also when fighting scimmi users, I recommend you to either wear full iron or if you want better protection agasint slash, to wear a chainmail and a square shield as it gives better protection to slash than platebody and kite.
For those who have 70 str+
I recommend evryone who has 70 strength and above to get their prayer to 31 for the strength prayer which increases your strength level buy 15%, wich can be easly 3-4 more damage and thus helping you kill people faster!
And if you plan to get to higher levels, 43 prayer to get all the protection comes in very handy as it helps you counter other pures attack so you can consentrate on your K.O. instead of healing, healing healing :P
So this concludes my simple guide for free players, on how to make a strength pure. I hope evryone can enjoy it
Please leave a 1-5 rating 5 being the best. and a comment if you appreciated it or how I can make this better xD
Thank you all, truly yours: Zego
