The new way also is a new pure. The pure level is strength. Now lets get started.
First of all you will need to only train
your strength level in the tutorial.
Then you will need to buy an iron
battleaxe or scimitar. Now you will need
to make sure that your combat style is set to
strength. Ok now all you have to do I train until
your desired strength level is met.
If you
decide to become a member, this is where the
strength comes in with weapons. The best strength
pure weapon is an obsidian maul but you will have
to train your level up to 60. this may take a
while but trust me it is worth it.
I haven't ever
been a strength pure but I have been owned
by one many times in the wilderness. I was level 50 combat when I was owned in two hits by a level 49 with 70 strength. He got my full rune along with a granite maul and a full inventory of sharks. So becoming a strength pure is definitely worth it.
