Quest your defense? What does this mean?

I saw someone say something like this in a thread talking about making a pvp character,

 

"if you didn't quest your defense you are messed up forever. "

 

What does that mean exactly? I'm kind of worried that there's a way to ruin your character forever...please help.

Probably meant that if that person leveled their defence rather than getting the xp from a quest, he'd get too high defence completing a necessary quest. eg account messed up..

 

Not sure though, just the first that came to my mind.

One problem that pures have is that there are certain quest items that they want but you get defense xp for doing the quest. "Questing your defense" means doing a precise selection of quests and getting all of your defense xp from doing those quests so that you have a minimum defense level (usually 40 or 41) with maximum quest benefits to go along with that low defense level.

Ahhh, I understand.

 

I have an old character I used to play a long time ago that i am working on now. It's not a pure...not even close. Is it possible to PVP eventually if you train everything high enough?

 

I suppose I could also just focus on working on a pure once I know what I'm doing.

 

But from what I'm reading making a pure properly is the best way to do well in low level pvp. I'll have to read more about that stuff and maybe make a pure.

You should post your stats & quests done to see how well an account can perform in pvp. There is only one build however that can trump any other, and that's maxed.

My main account is something I started playing back when runescape first came out very occasionally. I'm sure it's messed up.

 

If I were to make a new account specifically for PVP, what would my build be?

Builds in approximate order of how much of the game they can access:

  • Maxed main (all 99s).
  • Maxed tank (all 99s, 78 attack/70 strength, perhaps 78/78 if you want to get the quest cape)
  • Maxed zerker (all 99s, 45 defence, perhaps limited attack)
  • One-defence pures (all 99s, 60 attack, 44 prayer and 1 defence)
  • Summoning tanks (95 summoning 75 defence, if you are really good, 75 prayer + divine), maulers and other low-level specialized builds.
