get 10 stregnth levels higher than your range lvl and 40 attack, dont get defence as there is going to be an update to bounty hunter, maybe get 31 prayer aswell for ultimate stregnth? And dont forget to stregnth pot before starting a fight.

avoid getting raising defence any higher than 40 because most of your time there will be spent with your mates hunting people down. And if you did raise defence, this could push you into the last combat bracket of bounty hunter (as you should raise your attack to 45-55, and your stregnth to around 70-80.

even tho that was funny and all >.> most of us arn't quiting anyway because of the future update, so great post...

just sit tight and skill for a bit, make some cash, then if the update *is* any good, you can spend your cash on sups and get back into the pking cycle of: killing, selling, buying and then killing again :)

bh-pker, there's no such thing at the moment unfortunately, untill a 1v1 version of bounty hunter is released (which is being done in January), but I think this update shall be for members only sorry, if you have a main, just get a team, wear monks robes and rune scimitor and protect item, as you'll just get slaughtered on your own. Look what the update has made people do...

keep training, a new 1v1 wilderness update will be soon released for p2p players, but yeh train mage and str higher so you can blitz or barrage then dds special :)

try and get your stregnth higher than your attack level. Also if you got your mage lvl to 78 by using non-damage spells; this wouldn't raise your combat lvl :)

lol, what he said, i never knew about the surviving mini-game tho

if it gained defence lvl's it would be called a "tank mage" and tank mages are only good for staking, which has been *almost* removed from runescape

the only thing that does own bh is teams... without a team, you're just gonna get piled and loose your items. so just go on a normal account with a bunch of friends, and you'll be fine.

i think this post is gonna stay on the forums forever lol and a great guide! :D

all 1 def pures mess up, heck, most of them arn't 1 def. like me for example i accidently got 12 def while i used auto-spell cast in the wild, but it only raised me two combat lvls, so don't sweat it :)

like duncan said f2p's won't get another update in a while, whereas p2p pkers will have an update in January all to do with a 1v1 version of bounty hunter.

if you are f2p why raise att, you can;t wield a better weapon, also because of bount hunter you shouldn't get 40 def as you'll just loose it to the teams, in my opinion you got defence too soon you kinda recked it >.

don't fight them or any type of pure if you arn't one? ; P

keep your defence at the same lvl if your staying f2p, get your range to 70-80 and it won't effect your combat lvl if you get your mage level to 59 using non-damage spells. Also if you got your STR to 75 for 2h ko's and maybe 44 prayer for the ranged pray, I think its eagle eye, if you get these state it'll be a pretty nice pker account (if the wilderness was still around)

if you are going to get defence at least have a reason for getting it: e.g. 45 def for zerkers, defenders and torsos as these will give you a high stregnth bonus only start training defence after 85 stregnth tho as your combat lvl will take over your strength.

Dont make the mistake I did; thought of getting 20 defense and got like 4 combat lvls ><. Luckily I stopped at 12 and only gained 2 or 3 combat lvls. Plus there is going to be another wilderness mimigame released in January which is 1v1 so combat lvl will be essential to keep low there :D
