Your account was not cracked - you have given someone your password. Start a new character - 60 range doesn't take long. Retire this one - if someone else knows the pw, then making it a main and loading it with great stuff is folly.

Man - I'm gonna stock up on rope big time - both horsing and boating will probably need rope, and Ima gonna sellem for mega mils!!!! OT: Highly doubtful a new skill will come out any day soon - there is so much other content awaiting release, it doesn't make sense to throw out a skill yet.

Get it once you are sick of F2P pking, and have vowed never to return there. Once you get 60 attack, you are ruined as a F2P strength pure pker as others will have 20 strength levels on you.

I agree with Angra. PvP is a lot of fun, but there are too many safers/runners, not to mention 65's tappin you constantly. If you are a 53-55 combat player, then BH is where you should go until you get 56 combat coz after that you are stuck in PvP for the remainder of this year at least!

Be careful - define lower level, and most of the running I see/do is due to 40+ deffers safing to the extreme. I will not stand and fight a main who safes - as the few times I have, they run away as to not lose their precious rune. I have killed more 40+ deffers than those who have killed me. I am a 1 def, 1 pray pure with 82 str, 82 range. Pures own those of the same levels up until the level 70 mark, then the rune pures begin to dominate. btw - this is all from a F2P perspective. P2P pures are a completely different kettle of fish - most have prayer, varying from 11-52, many have 20 def pffft, and the barrage/claw rushers spank the pants off all who stands before them at low levels.

The build is good, and I assume you will be members? Otherwise the 45 attack is a tad on the wasteful side, as they are 5 strength levels you have missed out on for your combat level. If members, get 50 attack for the maul - althout at 56 cb, many blitz/maulers are out there who will wipe the floor of you. Likewise many 80+ rangers will take you out with dark bows, and rune xbows. High range, and high mage are a must (80+ for both) in members, whereas in Free-to-play, only range matters. F2P range/R2H'ers rule the roost from combat levels 50-70, and strength pures for a while after that. Tanks will always win through though, so just avoid em like the plague - although a couple of lucky hits can get em to their knees :)

Keep at 13, any higher is a waste until you are 85+ in strength, or 91+ in range. I got 44 prayer on my old pure when I was 84 range, and regretted it all the way to 99. Once I was 99, I would have got it anyway, but all the time I was pking, and ran out of prayer - I was at a disadvantage.

Your stats are horrible for a level 56 account. I have a level 59 account with 81 strength and 82 range - its not the best, but puts yours to shame. Why 42 attack? 40 should be your max attack level until you hagve 99 strength - never ever raise it again. Strength - meh, raise it to 80+ then go pking. Def, leave it at 40 until again you have your 99 strength. Magic should be 60, or as high as you can afford to get it. The higher your magic, the better mage defence you have. Range should be 40 as your absolute minimum for dhide vambs. Range tanks rock mid level bounty hunter- but I doubt if you can handle getting 99 range and 99 def. What is your prayer level? If it is 31 or less, great. Get 31, and leave it there for a long time - lets say 99 strength again. Call us when you get the 1st goal of 99 strnegth.

I have trained one pure to 99 range, and have 82 range on another, so listen up! If you are 1 def then follow this rule: 1-20 chickens. 20-40 SoS minataurs (lower level ones) 40-70 SoS minataurs (Higher level ones) 70-90 Lessers 90-99 Ankous/Lessers The above options are a mix of very good experience combined with enough rewards to keep you stocked up with all the arrows you will ever need - keep all noted drops from minataurs, as you will need all those arrows later on. If you are a main - then you could go to flesh crawlers at around the 50 combat mark and stay for quite a while without having to eat. They hit 1's rarely on rune, and are aggressive. These are excellent money makers in P2P, but are rubbish for F2P.

He has no idea at all 77 attack in f2p, I mean cmon 1) why 77, its not a special number is it?, and 2) 10 def sheesh nuff said.

Range/str hybrid is a tricky one at lower levels (50-65) range/R2H is hands down the KO king but after that strength dominates. Who cares if your arrows can hit 16s when a scimmy is pounding 24s on ya, and the meleeman has a sneaky R2H capable of inflicting a further 29 on top of that. Range/R2H are a lot of fun, esp if you are 1 def, 1 pray and in the 55-63 combat range. Once you succumb to the temptation of pray though melee will take hold of you. The range will always come in handy supplying you with additional hits, and allowing you to hybrid in clan wars. Dumb mains also put on protect prayers and sometimes dont notice if you switch, or cant switch quick enough. I scored two rune kills last night because of slow prayer switchers!

Entering a game in the last few minutes though can be done, and if you have enough mates on other worlds playing who know how long the game will last for, you can hop and collect on those games too increasing the 1 game per 20 mins into a lot more.

Would require loads of luck in turning up at games with a few minutes spare, and getting in. There may be some IRC channels with enough players to get the idea going so watch this space I guess. If you see some incredible records being broken over the next couple of days then you may be onto something, and get prepared to see the ban stick brought out of the cupboard.

1) Ignore all this rot, it makes no sense. 2) Darkvoid stop posting nonsensical posts, and esp ones that have people getting 10 def, crazy attack, str and pray stats you are putting people way off track. 3) Go back up to others posts, thats what makes sense.

Ignore Darkvoid obviously! Take usual ranging gear, with a str ammy instead of a power for better KO power with the R2H. I did take Bounty Locate spells with me, and they came in handy on many occasions. One 4 pot str pot, runes, 1 lob and rest swordies was my usual inventory. I would sacrifice the lob on occasion to pick up arrows. If your max hit with str ammy is same as with a power, then use a power ammy, though this is usually only for a select few levels of strength.

Is the worst set up ever - 10 def is a nono, 35 prayer with those stats is awful. no, just no.

You would think that TET and other eventing groups/clans would be wrapped that jagex would incorporate their ideas into actual game material but no, the old I saw it first, its my stick attitude must come into play, sad. The no BTS will be a bit of a disappointment, but its the way it was for so long, Im sure we will get used to it again, and be surprised even more each week when new content gets delivered. I give Mark a 8/10 on his opening move more or less depending on his next actions :)

Not bad - I'll assume you are 58/59 combat at those stats with 1 pray? What is your range/mage, again I'll assume they are too low to assist in fighting otherwise your hits would be up into the 74/75 range. You will do OK in F2P PvP, although the level 60+ range/R2H will beat you regularly. The scim/R2H is just too slow to be a great combo against these guys.

20 def is worthless imo. May as well go whole hog and get 40 for rune. 31 pray too, and get 80+ str.

Not at low levels. i dont know... its great that u can hit higher but its health we are talking about... its precious... and u can wear down ur opponents. What we are trying to get through is that after 56 combat hitpoints are valuable, but below 56, they are secondary. They are the bane of a pure for it is hitpoints that assist in raising your combat over 55, and hence ruining your Bounty Hunter fun for a very long time as a 1 def, 1 pray pure, or even 31 pray. Only once you are 99 range, 99 str, 60 att will you find yourself once again dominating in BH, and that will be many, many months away.

I killed over 20k of them and never got a d med. Then got a left half, and d med within ½ hour of training slayer on other creatures lolz. Scims are very common, Id say 1/50ish, but kites/chains/R2H are more like 1/200+ and drag items, well revisit that 20k!!

Stay 60 mage, and well done on cursing to it. High hp will be the bane of all low level BH'ers. The maxed range/R2H'er can get 77 range, 72 str in low level BH but will only stay for a few days until hp gets the better of you, or you gain another range level. I suggest you get 70 range, now, then max out your strength until you are combat 54. Then head into BH with range/R2H, or as a str pure only, and have a ball :)

Trouble is finding the cash to train mage to high levels early on, and thehn realising at level 50ish that the hitpoint levels gained during the 3-40 combat levels are now hurting your KO ability by limiting range, or strength later. BUT indeed, if a level 35-40 pker is what you want, then a 59 mager is the key. Just go to minataurs to mage away, and use the arrows, ores, and gems as you income. You may have to use the arrows, and range for a while to boost your income. Good Luck.

You have done very well to avoid the lure of Range/R2H as your mode of pking, and have gone for the 77 range mode instead. Well done! Get 77 range, then pk, and have a blast. You can get 77 range, 70 hp and still be 2 range levels away from levliing, BUT get 71 hp, and you are only 1 more range level from big bad 56 combat avoid hp like the plague as long as you are under 56 combat.

No, no no - that is all wrong. DO NOT use combat spells to raise magic until you are over the 56 combat barrier. Hit points will get themse;lves up enbuogh without worrying about getting too much and breaking the 56 combat barrier. IF you decide to level magic at all, use curse then high alch. 77 range, and 71 str will get you very close to the 56 combat mark, and leaves you only 1 range level away from 56 which about 3 days of pking. I suggest you stay at 72 range, and raise str instead to maximise the R2H KO potential. You will gain less str exp in BH, so the range levels will push you over the limit a lot slower if you use thta method.
