I have an F2P pking account. To people saying pures are useless now, they still are fairly effective in f2p, especially depending on their level. In general, ranged will be your best bet (Being a pure melee would be an absolute nightmare without freedom, if somebody rushed you with binding shot the fight is already over). Magic is also a viable option, but you'll need to dungeoneer for a Nature staff, or gravite, as bat wand simply doesn't hit hard enough.I recommend getting at least 3 def for anticipate. In addition, it helps to keep att/str/ranged/magic as close to equal as possible, for extra constitution. What levels do you intend to PK at? The setup I currently use is level 111, 99 magic, 10 def, nature staff, and full imphide. In general, as long as I pay very close attention, I can beat most things in my level range. I tend to PK slightly deeper wilderness, as PKing by the ditch in World 3 / 33 is awful, imo (More action, less profitable drops, rushed after essentially every kill, which is a serious issue on a pure) F2p pure pking will take some getting used to with Eoc, but with timing / smart use of skills, it's definitely profitable, and you'll beat most things your level. Do you have any more specific questions? I have several other pure / nearly pure friends, and all of us definitely put up a good fight for our levels.

I don't have access to chaotics atm, and I'd also need to do the quest for the cannon. Can anybody confirm and give a rough exp/hour rate before I attempt this?

Just curious about what will give me optimal exp/hour. I've currently just been doing waterfiends. Relevant stats are : 65 Prayer 86 Ranged 70 Def 60 Summon 24 Slayer As far as quests go, I haven't completed many, assuming a potential training spot requires quests. For gear, I have a Royal Crossbow, full royal hide and spined boots, however I have money to upgrade (20-30m I'd be willing to spend, more if necessary) Let me know if there's any better spots - I've tried using chinchompas in the Abyss, but I must have been doing something wrong, as the exp was awful :P

Way more than I'd like; probably used a couple thousand, thankfully I made some decent profit in between failed attempts, so I didn't burn through my entire cash stack.

... And I pulled it off next time :) In case anybody with similar stats ever tries this, this is the setup I used (I didn't kill QBD, but I got it forged) Karil's Coif Karil's Top Karil's Skirt Dragonfire Shield (Ranged) Spined Boots Royal Vambraces Ring of Life Amulet of Glory Armadyl Crossbow (Diamond Bolts E) Ava's 3 Prayer Flasks, Super Ranging Pot, Antifire, rest sharks And a terrorbird full of sharks (Only reason I pulled it off) Thanks for the help everybody!

... On my 116th attempt (Yes, I've been counting), I finally hit Phase 4. The second I used Rapid Fire she decided to use extremely hot flames - I desperately spammed Brandish, but I couldn't during rapid fire. Shortly after she summoned her 4 souls and I instantly died. Is there any way to stop the damn rapid fire animation?

Ah, will change that option for sure then. Is it best to run directly through souls, or diagonally?

Still no luck, after several more tries. The main issues I am encountering are 1) Dodging Firewalls consistently - even if I only click on the clear spot once, my character insists on moving back and forth before starting to run, resulting in me getting hit. 2) Timing Souls - I run through them around the same second text appears (I usually have no issues on phase 2 souls, yet I always get double hit on phase 3...?) 3) Withdrawing food from my terrorbird - I right click store terrorbird, but there simply isn't time to withdraw all. I took about 8000 damage last time trying to get my food out, which alone wasted about half of my extra food :( I can tell it's theoretically possible with my gear / stats, but I really don't think I'll be able to pull it off - I'm up at about 80 tries now. Current Gear is Karil's Coif Karil's Top Karil's Skirt Dragonfire Shield (Ranged) Spined Boots Royal Vambraces Ring of Life Amulet of Glory Armadyl Crossbow (Diamond Bolts E) Ava's Currently have about 15m to upgrade - is there any significant upgrade that I can do?

And I had by far my worst QBD run, even with the terrorbird. For some reason I couldn't dodge any of the firewalls - my character insisted on running back and forth, even though I only clicked once. I was standing directly west of the first artifact. I messed up on every single soul, and the queen spawned more in every single time I finally got rapid fire. I seem to be getting progressively worse. What stat would benefit me the most significantly if I train it? I'm not sure if I have the money or patience for herblore, but if I need to I guess I need to :(

I haven't tried bringing a spirit terrorbird with me; that could potentially work though. Quick question though - wouldn't it die? I summoned one for no real reason once, and attacked a waterfiend. The spiritbird joined the fight, and the waterfiend started hitting it. Wouldnt the QBD just tear it apart, especially with the fire walls? Training summoning technically isn't out of the question, but I'd much prefer to avoid it; it was painful enough getting 60! Thanks. Does cost $$ so I'd try with the terrorbird first, I've never actually had mine die back when I attempted it without super anti-fires, so I'd say give it a shot. This was at least 5-6 times and it never died once, except when i died of course :P. I'll definitely try this out when I go again later tonight - the extra 12 sharks would, with luck, allow me to hit phase 4. If it does die, would it drop it's inventory?

And this was when she was weak to ranged / melee...

Keep Karil's on death = it won't degrade. And don't forget, never give up! If this guy was able to get his Royal crossbow forged, you can do it too. ... How. Oh yeah, it was a dragonfire, not antfire :P And in all honestly, I don't think protecting from magic using a polypore or offhand is a viable option - her ranged attack was hitting up to 1000s through my protect from ranged. I'm about to give it another attempt and buy Karil's armor, but I was under the impression it will degrade if I die (This would burn through my budget rather quickly) In addition, I could probably use some advice on a better ability setup; I'm not used to using one handed crossbows, especially with a shield. This is my current one Piercing Shot, Binding Shot, Fragmentation Shot, Rapid Fire, Resonance, Preparation, Revenge, Rejuvenate, Reflect (Should I get rid of this?), Deadshot, Anticipate, Sharks. Two handed is definitely a no go. She consistently hit 1600-2400s, I couldn't even make it past phase one. Using my dragonfire shield I was at least able to make it to phase three somewhat consistently (Although no matter how hard I tried I could only start the wave with 4-5 sharks)

I may give it a shot, I am worried about the QBD hitting 2400s on me though. As a mage setup, what gear would you recommend? Polypore for a weapon, of course, but I have no idea on what magic armors would be in my price range (I'm confident I'd manage to break Ahrims trying QBD :( ) Appreciate the help, guess I'll try it once I get a setup decided on.
