Runescape F2P Strength Pure Guide

A guide to F2P strength pures in Runescape.

Rush through tutorial island, don't bother getting 3 strength and attack, it's much quicker to get it on the mainland.

As soon as you get into Lumbridge head to the chicken coop, slightly north and train attack to 5, collect the feathers but DO NOT bury any bones; you could do without the extra combat levels. Once you have 5 attack head to Zeke's scimitar shop in Al-Kharid and buy a steel scimitar for around 400-500gp. Scimitar's are going to be your new best friend, as they mix strength and speed brilliantly.

Now that you have your scimmy head back to Lumbridge and start slaughtering them cows until 20 attack and strength, collect their hides and beef, hides are worth about 100gp each and beef is a simple way to raise your cooking, which is pretty handy in the long run.

I recommend you buy a mithril scimitar now and complete the "Vampire Slayer" quest, as it gives a sweet 4.8k attack experience! I suggest you take some decent food when attempting to kill the level 34 Vampire, and don't forget your hammer, stake and garlic!

Now, your off to the Monastery, west of Edgeville, to begin the long, tedious training with monks all the way up to level 40 attack and strength… Once you get there, you'll need about 25k. Personally I recommend air running on world 16, it's quick and simple, check out the thread on the Official Runescape Forums for more information. Once you've got the money you can finally buy that rune scimitar!

Enjoying your rune scimmy? Well, don't get too excited, as you've still got a lot of training to go. Flesh Crawlers on the second floor of the Stronghold Of Security are good from now until all the way up to level 60 strength and beyond, as they yield 100xp per kill.

Now you're ready to head into the savage place most call the wilderness…Get a couple of hundred lobbies, a few strength potion some armour and a strength amulet. But be wary, there are many players out to get you, but, with experience, you'll be pawning them in no time!

So in short, this is what you'll be training on:

  • 1-5 attack - Chickens (Buy Steel Scimmy)
  • 5-20 attack, 1-20 strength - Cows (Buy Mithril Scimmy), (Complete Vampire Slayer)
  • 20-40 attack & strength - Monks (Buy Rune Scimmy), (Stop training attack)
  • 40 strength and beyond - Flesh Crawlers

Good Luck!

Pretty good guide! i used to be a powerseller (make rs2 accounts and sell them to various people) And i used similar methods as you listed here... although i find that it works better to train on monks till 30 atk and 30 str then go to level 1 stronghold security and train on level 12 minotaurs till 40-40 i find it is much faster to do that! just a suggestions
#2 by bad turk9, Jul 29, 2007
do u know any way to get ur str up to 99 ?
#3 by Sainttimmy, Jul 30, 2007
Your method sounds pretty good Mounter, I wasn't familiar with that way of training, this is just what I used with my pure. Thanks for the suggestion though. =]

Bad Turk9 - Pest Control used to be one of the best methods of getting to 99 strength, but since JaGex updated it, it's not as good, plus, of course, it's not F2P. I'm not too sure of a good method of getting to 99 strength in F2P, sorry.

a good guide thanks now i can be a good pure str .. tyvm
#5 by JARED, Aug 3, 2007
the best way to make a strength pure is getting your attack to 40 before your strength because someone with 40 attack will hit higher then someone with 40 strength.
#6 by Sainttimmy, Aug 3, 2007
Thanks.=)
#7 by robster, Dec 6, 2007
I used lvl 12 minataurs too, easy hits and they drop iron arrows which you can sell.
#8 by tenma mukuro, Dec 31, 2007
pretty nice guide, although i find it faster to train on hill giants in wildy where no one is nearby to steal your kills, plus they drop a lot of goods which you can keep or sell

#10 by nice guide m8!, Apr 1, 2008
hey m8 thats a fab guide but im a pure mauler - obby and i need a way to get from 40 str to 60 can som1 help out plz
#11 by Heroine of RUnescape, Apr 1, 2008
Pretty good guide but i would say pest control for memebers or castle wars oh ya and also for f2p flesh crwaler best for upto 60 strength then its no use
so after that use lessers, or mossies and when u get atleast 65 or 70 stregth all you do is basically train on level 50 spiders on the third floor of the strong hold and train up to 99. Viola before u know it ur 99 stregth.
pce nice guide
#12 by drakejude, Apr 20, 2008
hey peeps once you reach 60 cb and higher recomend you go kill giant spiders in lvl3 stronghold bring lobsterz and a varrock telle, etc, its very good place to train at ( i prefer it ) =)

#28 by denvor 34, Jul 16, 2008
lol this is very very very very very awesome!!!! guide-----first of all since jagex put another new update its more easier to make 99 strength and 40 attack...first of all clear the tutorial island and go to the new place--lumbridge mining spot and look for sir vant and ask him to help him on killing the dragon but he will say no thank you and give you 2 lamps!! that only gives you 250 exp...now dont use them yet ..go to the strong hold of misthalin and get the 2 lamps there and the 10k and gloves then go to the chicken coop and train your strength until 15..use any kind of weapon but not battle axe, maces, and 2h only scimi or sword. now once you get 15 strength use the 2 lamps you got from sir vant--gratz you now have 19 strength! now go train on goblins mens untill you get 20 strengh then go to the monstary and train your strength untill 25 remember use a iron scimitar then once you have 25 strength train your attack to 5 and use steel scimitar..keep training on monks untill you get 40 strength and 30 attack....or 20 attack lol  okay now once you got 40 strength and 30 attack train on al-kahird warriors untill 55 strength..then use the 2 lamps you got from strong hold of misthalin to make it faster then keep traininguntill you got 55 strength and 40 attack..now keep training on al-kahrid warrior's untill 60 strength...it may take long like training on monks but you will be happy once you got 60 strength..now dont do bounty hunter yet becuase i still died from stupid rangers so i suggest you train at duel-arena..until 65 strength then your lvl 53 and then its time for the most exicting part--train on bounty hunter...i mean do pk in bounty hunter untill 70 strength....remember if you see a ranger dont fight them just exit or run away becuase range beats pure becuase they have higher defence and sometimes the addy arrows may hit 14 on you if your oppoent has 50+ range....once you got 70 strength go get some food and train on lvl 44 zombies in strong hold 9(not mistahlin) then train on lvl 44 zombies untill 80 strength but it may take long again.
now from 80 strength to 99 strength train on lesser demons or stick to bounty hunter or duel-arena....





here are some tips: during bounty hunter a good idea to beat other people is to say " no arm" then once they take off all their armour youm ay start fighting...but if they put it back on exit the crater and rememnber to always stay close to the crater!!!!!!! and dont fight those stupid rangers.

next tip: in duel-arena i suggest you put the rule (no food and drinks and prayer).

oh yeah and dont train prayer becuase it gives you 3.145 combat exp so dont train prayer if you want to be low lvl and hit high.

remember pnce if mid-lvl crater you must train defence to 40 becuase to many def nubs in there so watch out ^^

hope this help you a lot--peace
#29 by runescape, Jul 23, 2008

#32 by pk4st3r, Aug 7, 2008
I, quiet like the guide but if ur in bounty hunter you should get 25-31pray bacause if youhave like 70 str then you can just take addy scim u will hit like 15sor 16s and a rune 2h and all the other pot n food coz if u do item protect and you die u will get ur 2h bak ull lose food,pot and addy scim wich is about 2-3k.
the total you lose is about 12k wich is better than loseing about 65k if u have no pray and u lose scim food pot and 2h.


hope i helped..
