I haven't played RS in over a year, and haven't played it consistently in nearly 2 years. With all these new PKing updates, is it worth even trying to train/pk on a f2p pure?

 

 

 

I enjoy it but the way the drop system works on f2p, as well as the new splurge of 1 itemers and trash drops, it seems its all risk and no reward. When I used to pk with my pures, it was back in the old Wildy. No revs, no ditch, no pvp worlds, no bounty hunter. None of that junk, just good old fashioned Wildy Pking. I tried the new PvP system and even at 100% EP, bountied target, risking upwards to 1m on f2p and 83 combat, PKing a rune set only nets a few of the items, and maybe a 3rd age carafe. The risk vs reward factor doesn't seem to be equal to me.

 

 

 

I haven't pked much with the new system, so I might just be ignorant of the probable rewards available on f2p.

 

 

 

My conclusion is that either A) I haven't fully explored the system, so I could (and most likely be) wrong as far as F2P goes or B) It's purely fun now, with no way of being profitable unless you are extremely lucky.

 

 

 

Also, if I do start Pking on my f2p pure, I might start doing blogs, videos and such. I really liked Monkey933's, Mackey14's, Hiei's, Dutch's, etc. videos, blogs and such. They were the ones that sparked my interest in PKing and pures back in '04 and '05.

 

 

 

I looked into P2P training for a f2p pure, seeing how rock crabs and experiments seem to have died once Pest Control came out and now Soul Wars (PC noobs on crack, wtf?!), it seems you can engage in any or no combat at all in order to get experience.

You have the risk vs reward wrong, I'm playing on my pure (Gandhi Bros) right now... It was level 35 before old wild died. I would constantly lose money. Now, I just take 25k worth of bind runes and arrows (Me and my brother, Gandhi Broz, run very large teams in world 32 multi), along with armor, and get 150-250k worth in rune per kill.

We must have very different PKing strategies ;)

 

 

 

I usually solo at Edge and I've grossed 1.5m one day of pking skimmies and 2hers with a pure lvl 50-ish. I hate teams, so boring :shame:

Not really. Most of the time you'll just end up killing EP'ers for targets.

 

 

 

Your choice. I have a few friends who are pures and they say they still have good fights every so often, but I would definitely say it's not as good as it was before. You might as well just pk on your main now, if it's not in pure range.

I've never really tried single pking, since I lag at edgeville level 1-5 wilderness and bank on ANY bounty world. By lag, i mean reducing my fps to ~3-5

I might try it but I really don't know now. Bounty Hunter is a gross facade of old style wildy, except with a damn timer >.> Might be interesting by a main does offer more opportunities to pk, skill, etc.

I'd say it's not really worth reviving an old f2p pure. My pure was lvl 47 2 years ago, and its only at lvl 50 now. The reason being, I don't find this new pvp system to my liking.

 

 

 

But you're more than welcome to try it out, then decide for yourself :P
