Thinking of returning, but how?

Hello everyone, veteran runscaper here! Thinking of returning.. again.. :) 

 

I used to be a hardcore gamer back in the days, quitted at 2006 I think, returned when dung arrived and played for about 2 years.

Now I'm thinking of starting playing again but not sure on which one of my accounts.  I've always enjoyed most of all pking, also mini games and bosses. But seems that alot have changed with pking and bosses.. So I might not enjoy my pures anymore as I see it.

How is pking as a pure on rs3 today? any fun at all? Dont really feel like starting over just for OS either.

 

So I need some advice before I start, pros and cons with my main or pures on rs as it is today would be appriciated :)

Good to see another person returning :).

 

I don't think there is much pure PKing, and most of the PK scene has migrated over to OSRS anyway. Probably starting with your main account (far left) would be best - you can subscribe and start training Divination and Herblore, as most of your other skills are already quite high. I'm not sure what your situation is in terms of cash but if you are interested in PvM you could either go for/buy chaotics or one of the tier 90 weapons. For example you could buy a chaotic spear from DG and start killing frost dragons for cash and subsequently purchases drygores, etc. and you are on your way.

 

Also I'm not sure what you've done in terms of quests, but with a few more skill levels and maybe more quests, you can access the Elf city of Prifddinas through the quest "Plague's End" which unlocks a number of skilling areas and attuned crystal weaponry. You will need skills like 75 Crafting and Construction though, which tend to cost money as well. So whatever order you want to prioritize is up to you, but there is plenty to do and quests unlock quite a lot. Almost every quest either unlocks something useful or is required for another quest that will give a nice reward of one form or another.

Legacy mode is a combat mode within RS3 is combat that is close to that of yesteryear. There is a reasonably thriving PK scene on the worlds that are legacy only, from what I've seen its generally maxed accounts and I'm not sure on the use of any pures.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

When it comes to cash I've never really been the guy with alot of it..  Think i have like 20m on my characters right now.

There seem to be many maxed ppl at these days so I suppose those guys are pking cus what else will they do? Maxed everything and billionaiers so no problem risking a couple of mils in wild, Dont think I'd stand a chance there with my main :P 

 

As for quests I'm pretty out of date, the one to get lunar spells is probably the newest one I've done :)

 

So those frost dragons btw, how much profit /hour there?

With Bandos and Sgs (which is likely the best gear with your current cash) my estimate would be a couple million/hr (net profit). You can increase your efficiency by not picking up the drop straight away but killing a few, then collecting drops. Then also drop some herbs and other junk, so if you like you can set up the loot system in Settings -> Gameplay -> Loot settings so that you're only looting stuff >1K in value, which is what I did when I last went there. You also have the option of buying using magic notepaper to camp for long trips by noting the bones, or you can bank every time inventory is full. If you're going to bank then I would recommend bring a Beast of Burden with you (War tortoise for you) so more loot can be carried.

 

In terms of supplies you'll need to keep antifire up and pray magic, and maybe a little food especially when first starting out. So antifires, super prayer renewal, prayer potions, and shark should be enough. Once you get the hang of it you can probably drop food or bring very little (at least from my experience).

 

And in terms of maxed people...well they'll work on getting even richer or buying third-age/partyhats/bossing for the hell of it. Pking, especially with EoC mechanics, doesn't seem to be terribly popular. There are few options to do PvM there (for the most part) anyway, so not much of a stream of people for that either.

Think I've finally made up my mind, started a subscription for my main today! far left one.

Not sure where I'll start off now but first of all may be checking out some new quests, areas and get to know the new combat system :)

Thanks for the support!

If you want any idea for quests to try and complete gaining access to Prifiddinas by completing Plague's End might be a good place to start :)
