New Idea:To do a quest that has quest requirements e.g Desert Treasure you must collect all rewards making it not possible to get the rewards of legends without defence.(As an Example)Then pures or anyone could stop at one point, but not forever if you are a pker in f2p then you go mems and want Ava's Accumulator then tough luck get Prayer Xp.

the_korny, As far as I know the current f2p quests dont give different xp,and remember no pure could (I Hope Atleast)finish wgs anyway.

Half way through 2.7

Comeplete exept for pics

In runescape when you finish a Quest you get the rewards all at once. Why not be able to chose xp and item rewards when you want. E.g In dragon Slayer you get 18500 str and def xp After Update You chose the def xp because your a def pure Or you have a high defence level and dont want it higher for pvp. This would work because the rewards would be the same, just available like claiming a costume. You would then be able to do quests that would make your account better without the side affects. How It would work would be when you finish a quest you get a screen with the rewards listed on it and the ability to pick what you want. If you change your mind then you could go back and get the remaining rewards when you want.

Great guide so far :thumbsup: I recomend(gold) the grand tree mines because they have 4 gold and 2 adamant with some mith,coal and iron mixed in. Its good if you are mining addy and mining coal in the downtime with gold when it apears. Also if you mine iron and finish a trip its always nice to get an extra 2k on your way out.

Pretty good. I recomend this for low level members too. With 71 atk 68 atr and 61 def I can manage on cheese potatoes(2hour trip) with full rune.

Lengendz recruiter, Im 86 cbat now:) Im targeting def now, so Ill be 90 in a week or so <_<

Omg. Even though 1 def still amazing. I meant a range tank, but this is still "OWNING FR00BS"

Seems right to me, kingdduffy1 has 54m summ xp right now :smile: And about the 110 lvl cap, that would equate to about 45m xp for maxed :shock: In runecrafting only larryr would be maxed :)

Basicly I saw that ranger boots are at a low of 10m. I want to get clue hunting, but need help with what monster. I need the fastest way to acheive lvl 2s with my skills. Atk:70 Str:70 Def:61 Range:73 Hp:71 Pray:46 Mage:60 Summ:23 Ive also got 5m to throw around

Also you might want to look up " Thanatos " 350m with 99 mage at lvl 88 combat

SOunds good, we nnow have a reason for summoning(not really though) and a cape with more prayer, I like it.

We now have internet at home the guide can now resume its construction.

Sorry I didnt reply faster my internet was knocked out by a storm and we have *BEEP* internet so we were at the bottom of the list to be repaired. I am still working on the guide and hope to finish 2.5 tonight.

For the dictonary, DM is death match. Sikhan, funny you should mention a range tank because I just made a begining guide on the subject. A range tank is the absolute best pker in p2p but not so much in f2p because of the player body. If your going p2p then for sure be a tank.

I lost my h'ween mask(green) while in pvp doing a lure :thumbdown: FML

Thanks,I should have the table of contents finished in 10 mins(7chapers of training)and hope to finish the first chapter my tonight. :pray:

I like this guide a lot ;) You might want to add a bit to the training part though. If you dont mind please check out my defence pure guide too(my first guide)its in begining guides although its finished. Its currently on the front page. 9/10

Mweddle's Guide to Ranged Tanks 1.0 Welcome to my guide on ranged tanks, the best pkers in runescape! You may have seen my guide on Defence pures which was pretty fun to make. I in fact liked writing it so much that I am going to try my hand at a pvp based pure;a ranged tank. Before I begin this thread has made a special accomplishment already! It is the 2000th AoW thread posted!

I also want to teach you how to be remembered and respected as one of the greatest pkers of all time; the guide to awesomeness begins now. 1.2 A range tank is a pker that has 99 range and defence(preferably) Range tanks are better than 1 def pures in many ways just a few are. 1.Ever seen a 1 def pure solo Kree'? 2.You can do every thing a main can exept at a lower level 3.Quest cape possibilities anyone? :^_^: 4.The ability to have the highest ranged max hit in runescape 5.60 Attack and 88 str without gaining a level?Surely jagex made a mistake Now as you have seen any range tank owns a 1 def pure, but what about a zerker? Well then check out I liberate I's pvp vids on youtube. Ever seen so much pwnage? I highly doubt it. 1.2 My status Online runescape?:NO Online tip.it?:Yes Currenly:Eating a cookie 1.3 Guide progress: Chapter 2.5 1.4 Explanation of stats Well here I will tell you what you will accoplish by the end of the yellow brick road and why. Attack:60 Why? Unlike 70 you can have 88 str without gaining a lvl and you get d claws ;-) Str:88 Why?Hitting high with d claws is amazing especially when you can without gaining Combat. Defence:99 Why?You wont be hit often, you can do quests easily, full void and barrows the list is endless Range:99 Why?This is what you will attack with most of the time. Hitting 96 with a dark bow is rare but cool also. Hp:95(99) Why?You live longer. 99 is if you got 99 summoning by the way. Magic:96 Why?Spellbook swap is great in PvP Summoning:1(99) Why?Hitting a 90+ at the cost of staying in 12+ wildy? Come on! Prayer:70 Why?Piety is helpful. 1.5 Updates:1.0-2.5 2.0 Make your account with a good name. Although you can change your display name logging in as r4ng3 t4nke4 is very degrading :lol: I recomend something that you like even if it isnt menacing. I would say much rather be kEvin rudolph than xxpk3r48693xx. I have made many accounts and all of them are numberless. 13375p34k3rs are really sad. I once saw a level 78(before names update) called 1 pk3d 090 it was even worse because they were 99 str and 70 atk.Lol Also make your password memorable but impossible to guess. If you like airplanes then you could have the password a380isgreat, a memorable yet hard to guess name. 2.1 Log in and comeplete the tutorial. It takes 5 mins at max. Use the xp on mining,not woodcutting. Otherthan that, just do it as fast as possible. 2.2 After you have made your new account log in and go find the barbarian village. Go north to the safety center and pull back the poster. Go down the stairs and go up the stairs to the north. Comeplete the maze for an easy 10k,safety gloves and 1k xp in a skill. Now use the lamps both on range. Now go to edgeville and bank all items. Now go back to the barbarian village and comeplete the SECURITY stronghold for another easy 10k. If you are queasy about doing it at lvl 3 with no food than bank after the 3rd level. You should now go to the F.O.G also known as the fist of guthix arena. You will be training magic here because even though the exp is mediocre the runes are free which is a plus. Once there comeplete the tutorial and begin playing. When playing always remember to suicide, not forfeit as while forfeiting you lose out on 2 tokens. I recomend staying here until level 35 magic for fire bolt.(not a harry potter reference in anyway!) 2.3 Now that you can hit 14s at level 21 combat go to the grand exchange and buy the following 1.25chaos runes 2.Air and fire runes 3.25salmon Before you begin pvp you need one last thing:25k you need the cash for drops even though the drops are fine without. I recomend comepleting rune mysteries and mining 1k essence. It is more than you need, but you can fall back on it should you die. Now that you have 25k equip yourself with your runes, salmon and 25k. Go to world 17 bounty hunter and wait in lvl1 wildy for a target. Once you have one fire bolt them dead and take the drops. Go now to mandrith in the edgville bank and sell your artifacts. Here we'll assume you made 100k in addtion to your 25k. You should now have 125k from 2 days of casual training. 2.4 Although you have 125k you need a bit more. I recomend 300k but 200k is fine. To get the money use A,B,C or a mix of all. A.Woodcutting 1-15=Normal trees around lumby castle. 15-30=Oaks by Varrock West bank. 30-60=Willows at Draynor 60+=Yews in Rummington B.Mining 1-20=Copper at lumby mine. 20-60=Iron in Dwarven Mines 60+=Mining Guild C.Fishing 1-25=Draynor shrimps&anchovies 25-60=Barb village 60+=Swordies at Karajama Now that you have around 325k in f2p you have a decent pile of cash which you need in the next steps. 2.5 You will do dragon slayer soon, but you need 33 quest points to start it. Here are the quests I recomend doing and notes about them 1.Earnest The Chicken Notes:Huge Qps for the difficulty, gives 600 coins. 2.Imp Catcher Notes:Buy beads in ge,sell ammy of accuracy 3.Witch's Potion Notes:None 4.Prince Ali Rescue Notes:No toll anymore 5.Vampire Slayer Notes:4250 Att Xp 6.Goblin Diplomacy Notes:None 7.Romeo&julliet Notes:5qps 8.Demon Slayer Notes:None 9.Doric's Quest Notes:Buy Ore in ge, he's named after a type of Greek Pillar 10.Pirates Treasure Notes:None 11.Cook's Assistant Notes:None 12.Sheep Shearer Notes:Buy the Wool 13.Black Knight'S Fortress Notes:11 qps Needed 14.Knight's Sword Notes:12k Smith xp, 29 Smithing 15.Sheild Of Arrav Notes:Use Tip.it's "Looking For a Gang Member"thread 16.The Resless Ghost Notes:Gives Pray Xp. 2.6 We will be doing dragon slayer here, so you will need 1+Friends Because this guide is for people that know what their doing in runescape, I will only tell you how to beat Elvarg. Once you have done enough this quest to kill elvarg get a few friends to have invs of swordies waiting outside of the cavern for you once you eat your inventory. You will kill Elvarg with magic from a distance with fire bolt. You should be able to get Elvarg to half Hp in an Inv, so Have friends Bring you swordies. *You Kill Elvarg* Now go to Oziach and claim your xp for 33 str and def. 2.7 Now you need to level your range, meele and mage along with other skills. First Buy From The ge all shortbows up to maple,1k steel arrows,full leather,studded Chaps,green d'hide vambs and chaps,accuracy ammy, team cape of choice, 200 Salmon,scims Up to Rune, 1k fires,an air staff and 2k Earth Runes,full wizzy,mage ammy,Str ammy,Full Addy. That should have drained 100k from your account. 2.7(Range) Go to chickens with your training bow until 5 range at which time you should equip your oak short with steel arrows. Remain Here Until 15 range. Now go to the cows and get 20 range and equip your willow bow. Now go get an inv of salmon and go to monks until 30 range. Now go to the level 12 minotaurs in the stronghold of security until 40 range. Equip your green d'hide and go to the flesh crawlers at the second level. KIll these until 50 range. 2.7(Melee) Go to the chickens in Lumbridge like in the Ranged Portion and kill them until 5 atk and str at which point you should switch to steel using iron. Now go to the cows until 20 atk and str banking all of your cowhides and raw beef. Now go to monks with a mithril scimitar until 30 attack when you should go to the stronghold of security minotaurs with an adamant scimitar until you acheive 40 attack and stregnth. 2.7(Mage) From all of the questing and dragon slayer you should have say 40 mage now. You will get 45 very quickly and cheaply. First take your full wizzy and runes along with some food. Proceed to Karajama and go to the lesser demons. Set your fire strike to auto cast and kill away using this you should be done in less than 2 hours. 2.7(Other) Well if you want to do anything, do it now because we will be making even more cash with f2p soon. This may include:Selling anything over 1k on the account or making back any lost money. 2.8 Well Here we will be making around 700 more (k) in f2p before we prepare for members. I recomend staying with the method you used earlier because then this will be much faster. I will use the same format as earlier A You will be using woodcutting. Using yews in rummington is best so we will go there. You will need to cut 1750yew logs to get 700k assuming they are 400 each. THis will give you about 67 woodcutting also. B You will be using the famed skill mining. Use the mining guild here!You will need to mine roughly 4000 coal to do this and will receive in addition to this level 66 mining assuming tht the coal ore gives you 180 gp each. C You will be using the slowest method with Lobsters at Musa point. The skill we will use is fishing the only remaining f2p skill. You will need to catch a staggering 2000Lobsters to acheive this. You will amass level 64 fishing with this. Now that you have about 1m get ready to end your f2p career. 2.9 Well in the next section you begin your members career! Lets take a look at whatyou have accomplished in f2p! 1:Dragon Slayer @ 25 combat! 2:50 Range 3:40 Attack&Str 4:45 Mage! Any way now you should get members as the range tank is a p2p pker. Also in the next sections I will teach you a tactic in training to always get your spot! Anyhoo get members before you get to the next section; 3.0. 3.0 MMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZ! Lol. Proceed to the grand exachange now and buy with your cash: 1. 5k darts(steel) 2.

Wow just wow.

Thragon13,sorry about spelling, changes at one. 999134fishy,Ok here I will sum up every thing that I have said and answer all of your questions,1.5 atk and 3 str is for the road of 11-65def, and 80-85. It shaves about 150 hours off at the price of 1 combat level.2.Pestcontrol is better than sw from 92+ because in pc you get no hp xp WITHOUT being a leech. I am just trying to do the world a favor by ridding soul wars of leeches.3. I never said that you have to go in multi, and remember unless the person has one of those new herblore pots they have to wait 1 min before specing again.4.I will admit that for low levels(3-45) summoning tanks are invincible, I have seen them take on 4 maulers at a time and win. I just am trying to say that defence pures arent just for pvp they are for showing off your 99 def accomplishment. If I wanted to own in pvp I could spend 2 months on say a void pure.5. I do have a defence pure called La Defanse which you should know if you actually read the guide which is at level 53 defence currently.

Sounds cool

Wow now we all can suck down some good ol' overload and antifire while equiping a ags and we'll be invincible at the kbd!

The ragon13, great! Ill add you to the hall of fame list at once! :thumbsup:
