How to level Strength pure?

[Spooks]

Currently my Stats are:

 

 

 

Def: 1

 

Attack: 20

 

Strength: 40

 

 

 

I have noticed after a couple hours of PvP that melee pures are very much at a disadvantage at lower levels.

 

 

 

Therefore I have tried to keep a high Str to hit high on an unnsespecting mage/ranger

 

 

 

however I hit many 0's. But by levelling my attack i fear it wont really benefit the key trait of a strength pure of hitting very high for their level.

 

 

 

Any tips? (keep levelling Str or levell attack to 30)

 

 

 

Thanks

My strength pure named Kinoforever got 20 atk and 48 strength and i can't say its that bad, ive pked 300k in value so far.

 

 

 

Just avoid rangers, they own you bad. Waiting for targets and killing other meleers is what you should do.

 

 

 

About leveling i leveled 41-48 strength IN edge in 1-2 days of fun. I really recommend training against other pures, fun and u wont even notice that at the end of the day you have earned 20k str exp.

[Spooks]

so your pretty much the same as me.

 

 

 

Out of interest do u bring a 2H and swing it when there low on hp. Ive been trying it buut 9 times out of time its a 0 :pray:

Get 99 str and 40 attack. Can't do any better than that (unless you are a maxed main of course).

 

 

 

There are tons more locations for pures to train in members. If you are interested in making a pure I'd suggest raising stats there for a month or two.

I thought the standard F2P STR pure was 40 atk, rune wep, iron armour (or iron / green D-hide mix with 40 range), STR 50+ and always on strength.

 

 

 

30 Attack would be addy weapon, with higher bonuses, so as well as hitting less zeros, it should still increase average/max hit.

 

Could be a way to go, only thing is, what's the market like for addy scimmy, the price could be over inflated compared to the more popular rune and store available mithril.

20 att, 40 str is good. Next step is 30/50 then 40/60 continuing to 40/99.

 

 

 

Range/R2H'ers will eat you up until you are 40/80+ so stay away from them, or join them. Mages are kings of F2P until level 35ish where the reangers come into thier own.

 

 

 

good luck!

[Spooks]

Thanks for all the advice guys.

 

 

 

But Should i get 40 range for dhide?

 

 

 

And what do Strength pures wear?

You should get 99 ranged and use range/2h. Its the best f2p combo.

u can buy adam scims in stores too, try al kharid.

I just keep getting owned by rangers. If i train my ranged will it ruin my "pure" status like getting 2 def would

Range/2hers in F2P are very fun.

 

 

 

40 Attack

 

65 Strength

 

1 Defence

 

1-44 Prayer (1 is awesome)

 

70 Range

 

59 Magic

Fantstic,

 

 

 

I take it they just range till there low on hp then swing the 2H?

 

 

 

What would I wear?

 

 

 

Thanks

Coif

 

Power Ammy/Strength Ammy

 

Leather body (Monks robe if you have prayer)

 

Green D'hide Chaps

 

Green D'hide Vambs

 

Maple bow

 

30 Adamant Arrows

 

+ Rune 2h

 

 

 

Personally I bring a 2h, scimitar, and bow. Protect the 2h, risk the scimitar.

 

Bow -> Scimmy -> 2h is pretty good too

Hmmm this sounds interesting but it will be a while before i get the appropriate range level.

 

 

 

No Iron armour?

 

 

 

and...this isnt really a strength pure anymore is it? or is it? lawlz

[armyboy]

if you want to be a strength pure then stats:

 

40 attack

 

99 strength

 

1 defence

 

40 range (dhide chaps +vamps)

 

pray u decide i preffere 1

 

 

 

but then im a range/2h lol

[Kinosjourney]

Bit to late i guess but i do miss alot or hit low with 2h, however swinging 2h have gotten me a couple off kills. i did hit a 11 with 2h for teh kill twice now.

[SythenRs]

A very helpful topic thank you :)

 

 

 

My question is where should a f2p'er train to get these stats, level 2 goblins are getting slow.

[alcoolj]

I trained on goblins til about your level, then went to minataurs (the level 12 ones) in level 1 SoS. Collect all iron arrows as you will need them later on for range training. Once you are at 50 str, I suggest going to the level 23? Ones a couple of rooms away.

 

 

 

Range on the level 12 ones once you are about level 20 range. After 50 range go again to the level 23 ones. I ranged to 70 on those!

[SythenRs]

Thanks for the advice, I went ahead ranging the level 12 minotaurs from 1 range, started off a bit slow but I got lots of iron arrows to play with now :)

[Spooks]

Uktimate Question:

 

 

 

Pure Strength or Range/2H?

 

 

 

Which gets more kills?

[alcoolj]

Depends on levels, and if you're gonna get pray.

 

 

 

from 45-60ish the range/r2h'er is the king of the BH hill. After 60cb though the 1def, 1pray strength pure begins his dominance. Hitting 21's with scim and pot only, and 25/26 with R2H takes away the speed of the ranger. get them low, then keep hitting em.

 

 

 

I did both - got 84 range and 85 strength and did quite well. 1 prayer helps a lot for the range/r2h as you dont need to worry about prayer switching, or refilling prayer points after each fight.

 

 

 

Now am a strength only pure eating rangers for breakfast with 92 strength.

[Spooks]

So I take it i can be either as long as i keep range below strength.

 

 

 

Also at 41 Strength is it about time i got 30 att? (20atm)

[armyboy]

i say range/2h :thumbsup:

 

 

 

but its all down to personal choice what YOU find you work well with.

 

1 mans trash is another mans treasure or something like that :lol:

[BlueBuddy]

range 2h is the way to go unless you are trying to get 80+ str on the account. Yes, get 30 attack with 41 str. i went from 20/30-30/40-40/50-40/50+. it is working out great.
