What do pures wear

I'm a 1 defence pure. I currently have: 1 Attack 60 Strength 1 Defence 48 Hitpoints For training as you may know it is always good to have a high defence bonus, but it's harder at 1 defence.

I have already thought of the following things. Feet: Iron Boots. Fancy boots for f2p. Quiver: Nothing. That is what i have thought about. Want you to reply and tell me if i have missed any essential items.

Please be sensible and tell me anything that crops up in your head. Thanks for reading this and everyone reply! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites. Micronblast 1. Other than that there's not much more you can do. Ice 0. Phlying High 0. Also, i will be using barrage and range or barrage and maul. In most cases thats an easy k0. Of course, the way you build your account is completely up to you.

There is a huge amount of variations of one defence pure accounts built around specific weapons and combat styles. Questing is a very important factor in making any kind of pure account. Certain quests are needed to obtain useful items or give access to areas of the game.

For example, manually training your Attack level too much before completing quests that give Attack experience will force you to over-level your Attack skill, ultimately making you a higher combat level.

The lowest attack level commonly used for P2P pures is 50, so these quests are ideal to get out of the way before training your Attack skill. Prayer is a tricky skill for pures.

It can be extremely useful for PvP and PvE scenarios, but will give your account a significant combat level boost. A few level differences can put you in a combat bracket with much better built accounts. Unless you are leveling your Prayer to 52 on your pure account, do not complete this quest, or Rum Deal. The following quests will give you Defence experience.

All of these quests, and subsequently any quests that list these as a prerequisite cannot be completed. In addition to this list, if you are completing Monkey Madness to unlock the Dragon Scimitar , you cannot re-visit Ape Atoll at any point.

Doing so requires you to talk to an NPC which gives an additional post-quest reward that gives unavoidable Defence experience. If you want to use Ape Atoll to train your Ranged skill using chinchompas — do not complete Monkey Madness until you have finished your Ranged training as you will not be able to return!

Due to the lack of Defence levels on the account, pures are very limited in what items they can use. Because of this, you will want to get your hands on the best possible items for your account.

Similar to the iconic Barrows Gloves for main accounts, these are the best version you can unlock on a 1 Defence pure. These only slightly outclass items like a Combat Bracelet, but are still better nonetheless. To unlock them, you need to complete the following quests:. A Rune pure is a pure that has 40 Defence mainly so it can wear Rune armour and other stat-boosting equipment such as fighter torsos and rune defenders , as well as the ever-useful dragonhide bodies and coifs.

Rune pures are also extremely popular in free-to-play PvP ; in F2P, the idea behind this type of account is that a player can wear the highest armour available to them while remaining as low of combat as possible. However, F2P rune pures often also have Attack capped off at level 40 for rune weaponry , making their combat level even lower.

Many rune pures are within the combat level range. In P2P , this build is usually passed up for the Berserker or Void builds, as they trade a combat level or two for massive benefits in the form of the Fremennik helmets or Void armour, respectively.

A Berserker pure also called a "Zerker" or "Zerk" is near identical to a rune pure except with 45 Defence for the sake of wearing a Berserker helm or a Fighter hat , which gives better stat bonuses than the Rune full helm , and also with the ability to complete all subquests of Recipe for Disaster , which allows the player to get Barrows gloves , the best gloves in RuneScape.

Their levels are virtually identical to those of rune pures. A Void pure is a pure that utilises the combat bonuses of the Void knight armour to achieve very high hits. Void pures are most often Ranged -oriented due to the already high hits of the Rune crossbow and Dark bow coupled with the damage and accuracy boosts of Ranged Void knight armour.

Melee -based Void pures are less common, and Magic -based Void pures are virtually nonexistent since spells usually have fixed max damage.

Another benefit to this style of pure lies in its ability to risk very little wealth in comparison to many other pures.

Void knight armour is untradeable; rune kiteshields can be made untradeable through the use of Construction and Crafting heraldic kiteshields , also called painted kiteshields.

While their Defence is similar to those of rune or berserker pures , they usually have lesser Melee levels, making their combat levels slightly lower. Many Void pures are within the combat level range. This type of pure is extremely strong at low-level PvP because of the fixed max damage that most spells deal regardless of one's Magic level. Most commonly, pures of this nature will use Ancient Magicks or the Flames of Zamorak spell with a Toxic staff of the dead , although some opt to use the Slayer Dart spell.

Being more effective at lower levels, these accounts are often within the combat level range. A Mage tank is a character with massive Defence , fairly high Hitpoints and Magic levels. Although once popular in RuneScape Classic and early RuneScape 2 , these account builds are rarely used due to the low defensive bonuses of magical armour , reliance on far-casting and Magic adopting more of a supportive role, and its inefficiency to combo out or finish off opponents unless using Melee or Ranged.

A Range tank is a character with high Ranged and Defence levels. Their Defence allows them to participate in high level PvP , wearing Barrows items and utilising Ranged and often high-level Magic , through the use of spells like Vengeance. Their Attack and Strength levels are usually low. The levels of these accounts vary somewhat, most being in the combat level range.

With the addition of Dragon claws , it can have devastating consequences for an opponent. A Barrows Pure is an account that has or has very near 70 Defence mainly for Barrows equipment , such as Dharok's , and ideally 70 Prayer for the ability to use Piety.

This is combined with overall high Attack and Strength for maximum damage; combat level is generally not monitored as seriously, and it is common for these accounts to max out everything but Defence and Prayer. These accounts are almost always within the combat level range. The most frequently suppressed skills combat pures keep as low as possible as not to affect their combat level are Defence , Prayer , and Hitpoints. The debates on whether it is wise to forgo the benefits of each and all of these skills are as old as the concept of pures itself.

Ultimately, it is a matter of preference for each player, keeping in mind that the "purer" they are in this offensive sense, the more dynamic PvP combat will become, and the higher the chance is that fights will end with a kill rather than with a combatant fleeing for good or for bad. It is worth mentioning that only the most radical pures insist on keeping all of the above skills at their extreme minimum once above a certain level, and will gain Hitpoints experience while fighting other players.

Such experience can be gained through experience lamps or activities like Pest Control. Defence is by far the most commonly suppressed skill. While like all skills, it has its pros and cons, most pures generally agree that the cons outweigh the pros. Some pures choose certain levels, including 10, 13, 20, 40, 42, or 45 Defence to have immense power compared to main accounts of the same level.

The Rune Pure , for example, can obtain armour that has nearly the same Strength bonus as a maxed account with 99 Defence. Being a Defence pure mainly has two big cons.
