Runescape Guide on Strength Pure

Runescape guide on how to make and use a strength pure. Training spots and tactics included.

This is my latest guide on how to make and use a strength pure. It is split into two sections, making the account and using the account.

Training On Men

Head out of lumbridge, and go to men near edgeville. Bank everything, and whip our iron, steel, black, mith, addy, and rune scim. Also bring trouts for food, as they do occasionally hit 1s. Attack the men and train your stats in this order, as it will be quickest.

Attack-Strength-Def

  • 5-1-1
  • 5-5-1
  • 10-5-1
  • 10-10-1
  • 10-20-1
  • 20-20-1
  • 20-30-1
  • 30-30-1
  • 40-30-1
  • 40-40-1

The reason you train on men until 40 strength, is that they have a fast respawn rate, good hp, easy access from bank, and low demand. These are factors people ALWAYS overlook, and so you have yourself and perfect early training ground.

Training on Alkharid Warriors

You will require either kebabs or trout for this process. Bringing strength potions highly speeds up the process. Train strength until 71 on these warriors. You will end up with these stats:

  • 40 Attack
  • 71 Strength
  • 1 Defence
  • Around 50 Combat

You will hit:

  • (Weapon - Prayer - No prayer)
  • Rune Scimitar - 16 - 18
  • Rune 2 Hander - 19 - 21

Prayer!?

Most strength pures get prayer because they believe it will increase their damage. This is a common deception, because 31 prayer gives 3.75 Combat lvls, while you could also get 12 Strength levels within the same combat. Remember that when you drink a strength potion, it adds a proportion of your total strength. The higher strength, the higher proportional bonus. Also the strength levels are permanent and prayer is not.

Just to Prove it

With 71 Str

  • (Weapon - Prayer+Pot - 12 Str + pot)
  • Rune Scimitar - 20 - 24
  • Rune 2 Hander - 20 - 25

PKing (1 v 1)

Invent - 26 Lobsters, Strength Potion, Rune 2 Hander.

Wearing - Iron Helm, Iron chain body, iron platelegs, Rune Scimitar, Strength Amulet, Cape.

Late Switch KOing

This is when you hit your opponent until they on around 23 or so hp. Just before your rune scimmy lifts, you click on your r2h and attack them. The r2h will instantly swipe for damage, and they will assume to take damage from a scimitar, but instead take from r2h. This extra 5 or so damage could mean life or death for them.

Beat Down KOing

This is when you keep beating down your opponent so they cannot eat fast enough. You usually hit a few times with the rune scimitar until they can only eat up to around 22 hp. Then you use your r2h. If you are attempting to do this, be aware that they can eat twice within one hit if you hit them more than 2-3 times.

Eg. They are on 40hp. You hit a 10, then a 15, they eat, you hit a 18, they eat, you use a r2h to hit a 21. They are in Lumby.

PKing (Multi)

Invent - 26 Lobsters, Strength Potion, Rune 2 Hander. Wearing - Iron Helm, Iron chain body, iron platelegs, Rune Scimitar, Strength Amulet, Cape.

Basically practice piling with your team, spam names. You could also tree hug, safe or death dots. Tree Hug means you run into trees so its hard for them to chase or attack you.

Safe means you eat every time you go below half your hp. Death doesn't mean everyone stands on the same spot so on the minimap it appears that only 1 person is there, when in fact there are several.

Final Notes

Please do not PJ, Tag or safe in 1 v 1, as it is dishonorable.

nice guide man im really gonna try this on my pure ty
#2 by Dan, Jun 5, 2007
Nice guide, I'm going to use it for my pure. I have one quesion though. Should I get 40 range for dhide and 25 mage for tele?
#3 by _jØKeR, Jun 6, 2007
Get mage and range for the HP, but dont get them for teleing
#4 by Dan, Jun 6, 2007
Why not?
#5 by Miguel, Jun 7, 2007
Did it say that you hit an 18 with 71 strength? If so, that is off by a few.
#6 by vinnie, Jun 7, 2007
nice guide tryin it now see if it ownz
#7 by Dan, Jun 7, 2007
Ah, I see. But if a clan attacks me, it forces me to tele, even if I lose, let's say "honor". In this game, I'd rather save 50k than have honor. Only my opinion though, but I don't think "honor" is very important in this game, unless you want to be famous, etc.
#8 by Range The V (zezima), Jun 9, 2007
This is a good guide... lol
#9 by Zezima, Jun 9, 2007
Stop acting like your me! Why is everyone doing this!
#10 by Zezima Drank Breast Potion, Jun 9, 2007
Wow nice guide i am going to do this guide in the dark...
#11 by _jØKeR, Jun 9, 2007
Dan, there are many ways not to get killed in the wilderness

eg. Tree Hugging, Logging, runnig into single combat zones etc
#12 by Empireking, Jun 11, 2007
Im trying this on my pure, but I have two helpful tips.. Right when you first get off tutorial island, go to varrock and train atk to 8 on dummies. This takes only about 5 min. Also, once about 30 str and 10 atk, do vampire slayer, which will get you around 30 attack.
#13 by _jØKeR, Jun 12, 2007
Empireking, I prefer to not waste time moving around, doing quests and such, because its simply a waste of time... =P

However You could kill dummies, but HP is more important for a pure, so training on Monks is better.
#14 by w0w u 0wned, Jun 12, 2007
this is a prutty good guide but i like your range/2h guide a lot more it goes more in depth and a lot less nubers. so less comfusing.
#15 by _jØKeR, Jun 13, 2007
Thanks, Ill make my next guides less confusing
#16 by omg, Jun 13, 2007
have fun killing 1330 men for 40att and another 1330 men for 40str then killing 27,758 Al kharid warriors lol
or you could kill at lvl 50str -7,132 flesh crawlers from the stronghold with a fishing spot right beside it
#17 by Zob, Jun 14, 2007
Thanks man But I am not sure about those levels. Do they go up that much faster......?
Thank U
#18 by THE YOUNG MATT CANG, Jun 14, 2007
lol j0ker this guide doesnt help./..

usally hwen u str lvl 71 u train on fresh crawlers u have alot of hp...
#19 by The Dude!, Jun 14, 2007
Pretty good guide, but, I'd rather train on monks than men...=) Your Range/R2h Guide was pretty good=) Nice job m8!
#20 by The Dude!, Jun 14, 2007
You mentioned another guide...?? What kind of pure? Mage perhaps?
#21 by Prayer, Jun 15, 2007
=.=; Um... I would think before I say something radical such as prayer being worse than strength... By training strength you also gain hits, which I believe affect your combat as much as a prayer level does. For example, take my level 52 friends. One has a prayer of 31, and one has a prayer of 1. My prayer friend has 56 hits and 66 strength. My non-prayer friend has 61 hits and 71 strength. My prayer friend, with ultimate strength, would get up to 76 strength.
My non-pray friend would not pot five more strength levels then my pray friend...
#22 by Someone828, Jun 15, 2007
There are so many things wrong with this guide I don't even have time to go into them all... (Just to name a few, monks>iron, even str pures need SOME attack, etc.) All I have to say is this guide needs to be rewritten.
#23 by _jØKeR, Jun 15, 2007
IRT Zob

Levels take time to get up, no matter what you are trying to level, just be patient

IRT THE YOUNG MATT CANG

If this guide doesn't help, either you are 100% pro at RS or you just have no idea whats good for you... how about you make your own guide or give an example of a guide? And why are you searching for guides if your pro?

IRT The Dude

Monks get crowded even in worlds like 105, there are always around 2-3 people, that means only 1 monk/person :O

IRT Prayer

Hit points > prayer...
The most important thing to pure is have high damage, and high hit points... Im 56 cb with 71 hitpoints, compared to str pures with prayer who have 60 hp (Im range/2h).They cant kill me half the time coz my hp saves me. If i had a dollar for every time i been redbarred i would be rich

IRT someone828

What do you mean monks> iron? Iron weps or armor? Monks can heal you, and first thing u do is get attack?
#24 by bobjob, Jun 17, 2007
i have da baies wid u lol
#25 by ~I mahatma I~, Jun 17, 2007
You guys r o so noobish, guide is ok but u should train on flesh crawlers for more hp

keep up the work

#32 by deadlyking12, Jun 19, 2007
wat lvl woud u be if u hav 71 strength and 40 attack?
#33 by _jØKeR, Jun 20, 2007
Lemme check... and depends on your hp. If hp = 60 then combat 51
#34 by king9336, Jun 20, 2007
how high woud the hit be if u hav 99 strength and having barrows weapons and armor?
#35 by Ipwnu18, Jun 20, 2007
Joker i was wondering how much is a black scimmy worth cause i think i got ripped off :(
#36 by meleegod10, Jun 20, 2007
How long woud it take to get 40 attack and 71 strength?
#37 by xblade330, Jun 20, 2007
nice guide, keep up the good work
#38 by xblade330, Jun 20, 2007
o and a blk scimmy is 10k-15k
#39 by mel33r0x, Jun 20, 2007
i was wondering if u raise atk and str at the same rate u mentioned is it effective?doesnt it raise ur combat too much..
#40 by mel33r0x, Jun 20, 2007
oh and by the same rate i ment like 5 attack first then 5 str then 10 atk etc
#41 by _jØKeR, Jun 21, 2007
IRT King
No idea, go to tip-it and find out (google it)

IRT ipwn
You could stick with steel, but its only 10k for faster training... depends how you look at it

IRT melee
Im not sure on that, depends where u train

IRT xblade
Thanks

IRT mel33r0x
Training anything will raise your combat, but if u train attack, str, attack str then u get the advantage of using stronger weapons and hitting more often before u do more damage.
#42 by Cj_owns_str, Jun 22, 2007
what combat i'll have with att 40 and str 58? How many can I hit then?
#43 by straneguth, Jun 25, 2007
hi... i was wondering, i have 60 str and 30 attack... i fight some people 1 on 1 in wild such as same lvls as me that have d fence up and when i fight them i get a lot of 0 hits and then the person beats me...... so should i get d fence up??? thanks
#44 by Cj_owns_str, Jun 26, 2007

#51 by Andrew, Jul 7, 2007
FYI

getting 12 str lvls is alot harder than 1-31 prayer

plus it's easyer
#52 by ms b l 1 t z, Jul 8, 2007
heyy thanks for the guide helped a lot :)
#53 by Drew, Jul 28, 2007
Forget all these ppl critisizing and having their own opinoins about this guide. if they dont like it they should make their own. its a good guide and alot of ppl can make affective pures with it. keep it up =]
#54 by Jo, Jul 28, 2007
how high should my range be if im going str pure, I have 47 ranged atm.Also should I get magic up,like 20 magic for binding?
#55 by Tim Lee, Sep 10, 2007
Damn _jOker u write great guides...this is one of my favourites of all of your runescape guides, if only you posted more!! im such a fan xD
#56 by _jØKeR, Sep 12, 2007
You should get around 59 magic for def nubs
#57 by blablagbla, Sep 26, 2007
bad guid u have to get 55 str before getting ur atk to 40 its to early to train atk when you have 30 str so noobish guide
#58 by pure str, Oct 10, 2007
is it better to get pure str with prayler or with no prayler?
whish one is better, pure str with prayler or with no prayler?
#59 by jus580, Oct 11, 2007
what levl of strength do you need to hit tens
#60 by Wildy Luva, Oct 12, 2007
You said in this guide to not PJ, tag or safe in 1v1 as it is 'dishonourable' i solely DONT believe in the wildy 'honour' rules
Wildy has no rules: axpect to survive and not die these 'rules' make it harder to do just that.
Anyway: like i said before in the Wildy you try and kill others without them killing you by ALL MEANS POSSIBLE so i think whoever made these honour 'rules' should DIE!!
#61 by wildy luva, Oct 13, 2007
Finally someone agrees with me!!!
Like one time i was in the wildy owning and i killed this guy and took his stuff (pretty nooby anyway) and then he private messaged me saying that me using my b ax on 'hack' is cheating

creepy...
#62 by Alex, Oct 13, 2007
does this really work?
#63 by alex, Oct 13, 2007
can i trian on women 2
#64 by BLUH, Oct 15, 2007
women are like the same thing as men
#65 by _jØKeR, Oct 16, 2007
IRT prayah beeezie
Thanks for that. Some people might understand better now

IRT alex
Yes training on men/women is good because they have fast respawn and little people want to kill them. They are also close to bank (edgy)
#66 by Bloodi, Oct 19, 2007
I'd say, 40 ranged for chaps and vambs, 25 for mage, 40 attack 60 str, 1 prayer and ur ready to pk
#67 by Bloodi, Oct 19, 2007
25 mage is for tele* (if you know ur about to get pjed)
#68 by alian488, Oct 19, 2007
wat if i get ma mage up will it affect ma str and att ownage?
#69 by Pur3 s t r2, Oct 23, 2007
this is a pretty good guide but should i get prayer up or str up
#70 by _jØKeR, Oct 24, 2007
Magic doesn't affect strength or attack.

And IRT pur3
you should get strength up.
#71 by Someone, Oct 28, 2007
let me ask you j0ker. Why shouldent we pj or safe???
how is it dishonourable??? we are only doing those thigns to survive arnt we? so does the wildy have rules now??
#72 by grandaoc, Oct 29, 2007
personally Idc if other person safes...if ur really good (and lucky) ur hits will keep doing more than they can eat so u still k0....and pjers are noobs
#73 by umm pk m8, Oct 31, 2007
omg that was a good guide but takes long i did everything requested im lvl 49 i hit 20's with scimmi and 26's with 2h
#74 by ummm its called ..., Nov 1, 2007
first of all no, the wildy has no rules but if u safe you will never die.... so i guess that s ur point someone? well what if ur opponent says u safe i safe??? then neither of you will die you will both go back to ditch and then you wasted about 26 lobsters so what do you think now
#75 by me me me, Nov 3, 2007
i was trying to make a pure str but i didnt know that prayer raises your combat level... i have 40 att, 37 str, and 28 prayer... i am lvl 37 combat... should i make a new character??
#76 by Too Critical, Nov 4, 2007
this is a good guide even though im not using it. Too Critical is my account name on runescape. it is a strength pure in progress. this guide is good but a few adjustments need to be made in order it for it to pass as intermediate right now its level is beginner. but pretty good work
#77 by _jØKeR, Nov 5, 2007
IRT me me me
If you want to then yes, if your happy with your current account then stick with it, and get 31 prayer. (Might as well :] )

IRT ummmm its called...
Your absolutely right.
#78 by i cyberstr i, Nov 10, 2007
this is a nice guide... but instead of use iron chain, use plate... better def rate ...but it helped me alot this guide, ty you
#79 by pwnage760, Nov 11, 2007

#84 by advance618, Nov 12, 2007

#92 by duality 5tr, Nov 20, 2007
lolz post #100!B A M!!!
#93 by Lucifel, Nov 21, 2007
just a comment on the pjing part, do you honestly think anybody cares about "respect" in rs? if you pj or not, no1s going to know who you are unless your zezima or uloveme or som1 els whos wasted too much of their life on a game. and who really cares? the person who got pjed yeah, but if you don't want to lose something, don't bring it in the friken wilderness!!!(dumb ass) This whole thing about "respect" in runescape is just something some1 started cuz they got pissed cuz they were pjed, and you know what i say? looser!
Soo pj on! I don't give a damn, and if you pj me, good job, keep the full sardomin (yeah i pk with sardomin, who doesn't?).

oh and pures are twenty times better then tanks, totally atleast till you get 99 str.
#94 by lucifel, Nov 22, 2007
respect, honor you know what i mean
#95 by d scimi 69, Nov 25, 2007
joker u said not to safe why do u want us to die or sommething to get our stuff?
#96 by d hal, Nov 26, 2007
this guide owns
#97 by _jØKeR, Nov 26, 2007
Honor is something in the wilderness which cannot be fully implemented, but all the top PKers follow this "honor system". If you feel its stupid then dont follow it, but dont critize it either.
#98 by phillyt96, Nov 26, 2007
well all i do all day is j off so u no
#99 by DDDDDD, Nov 27, 2007
Whats Pjing?
#100 by freez stroke, Nov 28, 2007
hmmmm...the guide isnt bad but....i suggest getting 8 atk on dummys then 30 str then do vamp slayer and u will hav 22 atk and 30 str then raise str to 40 get 40 atk and raise str till like 70 then get 50 atk then u can fight full runers and always bring ur 2h with u and pot no prayer!!!!!!!untill like 85 str =P wen u get 85 str 50-atk get 31 prayer and if u want go ahead for the 40 range for d'hide this is a guide for membs and free world in membs replace 2h wit g-maul
#101 by Repus Nogard, Nov 28, 2007
Freez stroke,

It's a bad idea to train on dummies and do vamp quest 'cos u don't get hp exp for ur atk training, and high-lvled str pures lose to full-runers on f2p (many str pures had fallen for this)
#102 by Repus Nogard, Nov 28, 2007
DDDDDD, Pjing means pile-jumping, it's when u make a kill in a single-cb area and immediately someone else atks u and u have like almost no food left or no food at all. Expert pkers (especially pures with a 2h) are able to deal with some pjers, though.
#103 by Repus Nogard, Nov 28, 2007
But don't pj in single-cb areas in the wildy 'cos it takes the fun out of the other player
#104 by Repus Nogard, Nov 28, 2007
Hey joker,

Do u kno y T R I B 4 L has removed his vids from youtube?
#105 by Freez Stroke, Nov 29, 2007
well less hp means more str and more str means highe hits but....u culd also raise ur range so it will raise ur hp and u will be the same lvl as somebody who didnt raise range with better def and simillar hp and cb lvl and on my pure i always kill full runers the only thing i do in runescape is pk on my pure wen i'm not pking in membs with my rune pure so dont tell me about full runers owning this pure cuz it isnt true at least not 4 me =P
#106 by Repus Nogard, Nov 29, 2007
Ty freez stroke i really needed to kno that lol
#107 by sitting wulf, Nov 30, 2007
ok ima str pure im wondering when to use rune weps on my str pker? cause im rune wep plus str? and im at low ages i just dont wanna stuff up?

Except for one thing: u can't hit 22 with scimmy at only 75 str
#111 by x w0lf str x, Dec 6, 2007
nice
#112 by das right GaNGSTasz, Dec 8, 2007
this is the lamest dumbest pure guide eva its pathetic guys ill tell u a proper pure guide and none of this junk.
#113 by das right GaNGSTasz, Dec 8, 2007
Ok first u train magic till 60 to do fire blast for range. second ranging should be trained at least till 40 for d hide, 3rd u train ur str to only 13 not 31 (it takes to much combat)
#114 by _jØKeR, Dec 9, 2007
IRT Das right
Um... Nice guide...
#115 by »IF u ReAd dIs u r gAy FtW«, Dec 9, 2007
Good Guide.. :P
#116 by Ichigoz5448, Dec 10, 2007
Hey try make a guide for pure def
#117 by Andrewz5, Dec 10, 2007

#121 by The End is Here (lucifel9), Dec 13, 2007
On monday jagex completly ruined rs, they took our pking. They can all burn in hell for all i care. Andrew Gower said and i quote from the runescape site "There has been a significant increase in the amount of real-world trading this year. If we don't find a solution to RWT now, it will ruin RuneScape." but never did he say the answer to all the problems is for jagex to ruin the game themselves!

I will be protesting this in world 67 for aslong as my hope remains that they might relise there mistake and BRING BACK THE OLD WILDERNESS, but i fear that won't be for much longer. Join me in world 67 for f2p protesting if you want, you can add me, the names lucifel9 but don't expect to see me on if jagex doesn't make some changes soon, and none of this "on the 18th" bs either. They just released a new article saying to help them improve by positive sugestions and that they won't be going back to the old ways of pking.

anyway, better start protesting =/
btw sorry for the spelling mistakes and gramar, i'm sure theres lot =P

#128 by hunt3r140, Dec 15, 2007
im a noob trying to get 99 strength could someone help me out
#129 by hunt3r140, Dec 15, 2007
how long does it take to get 99 str if my str is 60?
#130 by Repus Nogard, Dec 15, 2007
Hunter, if you train on fleshcrawlers at stronghold, you could get 99 str from 60 in about 5 months
#131 by str w0nt k1ll, Dec 23, 2007
Joker why train on al kharid warriors until 71strength? wouldn't it be alot easier to make a pure if you had these areas for training?

im pretty sure youll think about this now Joker?

strength:
lvl 1-5 chickens
lvl 5-10 cows
lvl 10-20 goblin village
lvl 20-40 barbarian longhall
lvl 40-50 hill giants
lvl 50-60 moss giants {{Lobbies && Str Pots
lvl 60-70 lesser demons {{Lobbies && Str Pots
#132 by Repus Nogard, Dec 23, 2007
Mossies and lessers would be hard for any type of str pures on f2p...I suggest getting 50 str at hillies and then go to the fleshcrawlers at the stronghold of security--they are excellent xp and their max hit is 1
#133 by skepp, Dec 25, 2007
merry chrismas! look at the date =P

train at men? what are u smokeing.. fleshies ftw
but i love the beat em down tactic i do it all the time.
now to the main part of this! are u ready coz here is were all of u are rong

HIT POINTS < ATTC STR

coz wen ur in a fight ur normal on 15-40 hp so whats the point of having 70 hp if those 30 levels wont do anything beside muck up ur cb. even having 40hp is enough to k0!
#134 by amizez, Dec 26, 2007

#136 by real pker, Jan 2, 2008
i am currently making my own strenth pure and i hav 5 atk 50 strenth 5 defence and i can hit 13\'s with my steel! 2h alltho sumtimes i do not hit because of my low atk but when i hit i hit hard and i am only low lvl but i hav heaps of mony!!!! oh and joker i would like to challenge u in a duel at duel arena ok so reply or add me im zxz568 see u then! and prepare to die!

#137 by Repus Nogard, Jan 2, 2008
Real pker, you ought to prepare to die if you ever fight joker lol
#138 by 40 att 93 str 40 def l3m0n, Jan 2, 2008
totally agree with skepp,

1
- fresh crawlers own all, its the best xp even if your lvl 100+, keys to finding good monsters to train on are
1) enough hp, not high but jsut enough so u wont 1 hit ko them every time
2)they have low def, so u can hit more on them
3)they dont hit u alot, so u wont waste food and time going to bank

2
-All hp does is \"muck up your combat lv\", in a 1 vs 1 fite your hp should stay at around 30 hp so ur not safing. having that extra 10 hp levels wont help u in a fite unless ur staking or u want to safe without ur opponent knowing :P

#139 by Repus Nogard, Jan 2, 2008
One thing to add to ur list lemon...

Fleshcrawlers are good only until 100 cb, then you should move to the 3rd level of the security stronghold and train on the level 50 giant spiders--I leveled up 1 cb lvl a day on my main there--until level 115, then go to the ice warriors and ice giants at the mudskipper's point and train there until you've reached 99 everything. Best way to lvl up cb on f2p ^^

Repus
#140 by l3m0n, Jan 2, 2008
on my lvl 109 account, i trained there until i stopped playin on that account anymore, i was 95 atk 99 str 65 def, and believe me, i got way more xp there than spiders or ice giants. the extra hp on the red spiders isnt needed because when at freshies, u jsut constantly atk one after the other, so its like atking 1 monster with unlimited xp, the spiders arent as great because they hit higher and have higher def
#141 by Repus Nogard, Jan 2, 2008
Sounds reasonable...I ought to try that out
#142 by Ob By Ma Ul, Jan 5, 2008
u guys r all so dumb flesh crawlers r pointless low hp and u get hit alot more try rcs rock crabs fastest and best

#151 by hazar, Jan 16, 2008
getting range to 40 is also a good idea so u can wear green d'hide and also doing prince ali rescue then training scorps till u die with three items then running to the scorps again and repeating is a pretty good way to train with no food needed
#152 by Repus Nogard, Jan 16, 2008
Yeah, but it would take too long to go back and forth all the time from lumbridge--you could just train on minotaurs by standing behind a fence without picking up your arrows--at least until 50 or so range.
#153 by 0mfg r u 0k, Feb 1, 2008
Good guide, max hits are off by a few, and i prefer 31 prayer, especially if u can max out str at 99.

hi. nice guide, although there are more things to train on which you didnt mention, and more types of pure, e.g. obby mauler
#163 by Lucifel9, Feb 24, 2008
A note on training on flesh crawlers, I find it better to train on the zombies in the graveyard between bh and clan wars. The lvl 18 zombies there have 24 hp and the lvl 35 flesh crawlers in the stronghold are 17 cb lvls higher (almost double the cb lvl) and have only 1 more hp. The zombies are much easier to kill and the bh bank is close for refilling on food so its pretty good training, aslong as you don't mind running to clan wars to hide from the odd revenant.

Btw you deleted my letter to jagex >=[ lol

Forgot how to make a pure, you should raise ur attack up to 40 and str up to whatever level that doesn't make ur cb lvl exceed 55. For p2p bhing, get 60 atk and use d scimmy for pking (don't talk to the dude in monkey madness that gets you stat bonuses 'cos it will raise ur def!!!). Also, get ur str up to whatever level you want as long as ur cb lvl doesn't exceed 67 (on p2p)

#207 by Repus Nogard, Apr 29, 2008
Fitty Wierdo, rangers can't pile on you anymore in bounty hunter, since that jagex updated it so that the whole thing is virtually single combat, unless you were unlucky enough to be a target of a clan leader (he just hits the teleport button and the rest of the clan that are following him runs after him automatically). Def nubs we can deal with, although it is hard as a pure (I've had experiences too =/)

first of all, why does it matter what order you have to switch from one stat to level in the other stat e.g., attack 10 then strength 20, then attack 20, and so on. Is this not even right here, because I just read someone post above, nonetheless I kinda heard that people do this, but what is the real deal with this - is there a order? Can you just level 40 attack, 50 strength then after. Could you, or does it give a few more levels, and why and how? Does anyone have a logical explaination rather than a rude remark or comment thats best NOT posted. Please shed some light

#217 by Repus Nogard, May 15, 2008
The white man with the white staff,

The reason why this order was made is to ensure that you can level up as quickly and consistently as possible. You can do it a different way of course, although it is best if you do not level up all the way to 40 attack and then 50 strength, because it will take much too long to get 40 attack if you have only 1 strength. In the combat system of Runescape, it is mandatory that you take certain matters into hands when you are training up, otherwise it will take much longer to train up certain stats than you hope it will be.

Repus

P.S. It's no use telling people to not post dirty comments or remarks, those are just the intentions of not-so-friendly people.
#218 by Repus Nogard, May 15, 2008
Good luck for future pures by the way!
#219 by def is good, May 28, 2008
dude, u guys all think str is good, when u r wrong, a def pure can own a str pure, lets say a 99atk, 99def vs a 99str, 99atk, 99atk doesnt hit very often on 99def... and 99atk pwns 1def... so def is betta than str. and Joker, nice guild, perhaps trying def?
#220 by poop smells good lol, May 28, 2008
hey love the guide just started a new guy for pure str followin it!i was wondering tho when u complete what u do like have 40att and 71str do u get str up to 99 then att or what. Also i want to be a pure st but i want to work on mage so do u have a guide that tells you how to have the same stat with mage in their if u have mad a guide like this tell me how to get to it thx!
#221 by Repus Nogard, May 31, 2008
Actually Def is good, 99 atk and 99 str are equivalent to 99 atk and 99 def, in different ways. However, it is not suggested to have 99 atk and def but very low str because you accomplish so little with it. It's not worth hitting constant 1s when you can reach for the high 30s with 99 str.

Poop smells good lol, because of bounty hunter, you have to restrain your str in order to not exceed the combat restrictions in the low-level cave, which is why you should not work it all up to 99 str (unless you want to be a rune pure, but that's out of the subject). If you want mage, well, you could either get 32 mage for teleporting to your target, but if you want to exceed further, you can get your mage up to 59 for fire blast and a decent binding chance. Make sure that when you're training mage though, you do not advance hp at the same time, since that will add up to your combat level. Ex. training with iron-cursing, cammy teleports, etc. When you mage at bounty hunter, it would be best if you wore wizard's hat and top (no iron platelegs). However, if you are a 31 prayer pure, the suggested equipment are full monk robes and a wizard's hat. Make sure not to bring more than 20 binds at bounty hunter, and I suggest no more than 80 fire blasts too. As for a mage guide, there isn't one in Joker's profiles, and I don't know whether there even is a good one around here.

Best of luck,
Repus

Kingturkey11, this is supposed to be an f2p guide, as baby blues aren't f2p. Also, baby blues aren't very good exp on p2p either, since that they have too high def and a regular blue would cause interference.

Hey as u can see (obby pk3r 44) is the guy i just made he is a obby pure. His stats suck- 5att, 1str, 1,range. Im talking about this cause i've read so many guides on how to be a obby pure but none of them show how to get att, str and range in order (preferably i just want 40 range for now). The thing is some guides say just dont have youre range over str or you'll gain lvls but wont u gain lvls if u dont go over anyway? Now im srry im putting this on your guide fourm but u get so many replies and stuff, so if anyone knows what to train of obby pure and in order plz tell me. THX. Great guide 10/10. I have made a str pure, of this guide me and my brother. Again THX and GREAT GUIDE!

IRT Pure Rs
Iron chain blocks melee attacks more than plate, not much difference, but there is a little :)

Also I think it looks better than a plate, however its weaker against arrows, and ofc magic.

Please, anyone who liked this guide visit http://www.makingrunescapemillions.wordpress.com for more articles are guides similar to this, written by myself. It is a blogwebsite I will try to update daily.

PS: Congratulations if you have read all the comments from #1 down to #240, you deserve a medal!
