how should I build my character?

[dwdwdw]

Hi I'm currently playing a character called dr_tchockyy and at the minute I've spent almost all of my time ingame getting up skills such as Mining and Woodcutting in order to have some sort of established wealth before I start playing around with combat skills. I'm not sure why, it's just the way I usually try to work in games. I think so far I've done quite well, I toyed with the idea of playing a level 3 skiller forever but I decided I was really missing out on alot of the content by staying at the lowest level and eventually abandoned it in order to train magic to 50 so that I could get around faster with teleports (mainly out of laziness). I've probably scared myself by reading so many threads on the forums already about f2p pkers and mains and pures and everything and now i'm just genuinely confused about where I can advance my character with it's current levels to anything which would be worthwhile playing.

 

I've managed so far to get my magic level to 50 by cursing and so I didn't really gain any hp, My constitution is 11. I've also got 2 prayer, which probably came accidently because I genuinely can't remember how I got it.

 

I'm not sure if there's any sort of pure or pker I can build out of the stats I already have, if not I assume this will just be built up as a 'main' character. Admittedly I've always liked pvp and pking in games so if I can get a pker which would be actually effective out of these stats then any ideas would also be welcome! :)

 

Just to avoid the small wall of text and give a tl;dr:

 

I've got these stats:

 

2 prayer

50 magic

11 constitution

26 combat level

80 mining

70 woodcutting

44 smithing

 

If I can build a pker, which will probably be f2p, how would I do it? If with my current combat levels this would be ineffective, how should I otherwise build it as a main?

 

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Don't make your first character a pure.

 

You'll miss out on too much.

 

Instead, just wonder round, train what you feel like and have fun. Worry about efficiency and what you should be doing and instead spend your time doing what you Want to do.If, after a while, you feel the need to pk or whatever, make an new account. But personally, I don't think pures are worth it.

 

EDIT: you train prayer by burrying bones and quest rewards.

Wow nice mining level and woodcutting level!

I must agree with the schmuall on making your first character a pure.

That's a really bad idea.

Just do what you like in game and try some quests and do some combat.

I've got one main account (Bassiq) and a few other accounts which I like to play on.

Got a mining/runecrafting pure and a few other accounts.

You could try out dungeoneering for the experience you can get in almost all your skills.

Main argument is just do what you like

Thanks for the quick replies, and also to dutchphoenix on my trade skill levels! Having alot of patience is definitley a gift in a game like runescape, then again if I have to face rimmington mine for much longer I'll probably end myself

 

I have previously played alot of the main content in p2p a long time ago and I really don't have that much of a desire to repeat alot of it, even some of the skills (such as crafting and runecrafting) are quite a bore to me. I suppose I may as well train this character up as a main, but then I feel as if I might be missing out on what I really have a passion for: pking and pvp in general.

[dutchphoenix]

Well then just make a pker

If that is what you like, you should do that.

Runescape is about having fun and not about doing things you don't like.

You like pking and pvp just DO THEM! :thumbsup:

Personally I hate pking but hey not everyone likes the same stuff!

You could also try Fist of Guthix: a non risk "pvp" minigame with some options to make some big money if you're decent at it.

I'll check it out, thanks alot :) I think i'll just experiment and see how it goes. At the end of the day everything is solveable if it goes wrong by just levelling up all my stats and working toward a main. I could do that if I got bored as well, obviously. I appreciate your help! As i'm reaching runite mining at 85 (20k to 81 mining) is that going to be a reliable source of income for me or is the income i'll get overexaggerated?

If you want to make a pker, then I suggest training your mage and range up to about 60, at which point you will be around 40ish combat. On my pker which has 61 range, 59 mage and all other combat stats are 1, it is really easy to make a lot of money.

Get 40 att, and as high str and range as you can.

 

Something like this:

thanks very much for the screenshot, and to whoever took it originally if it wasn't yourself. I think I'll aim for something like that :)

The main thing you might want to add is 85 mage for teleblock. That'll secure a few more kills in PVP.
