when the wild was still alive, there used to be many types of pures... you had the f2p low leveled pures, all with skills such as strength, range and mage in the 40s. then you had the p2p pures which were commonly maxed out (99) in 1 or more skills. prodominently strength, range and mage. the main strength of a pure was that because their primary skill was so high, therefore very effective, combined with a very low defence level, was that their combat level was off the same with someone with balanced skills. this differed in 'staking' pures where their attack and defence was always very high.
