Should I Make it a Main?

[Althalus7]

Looking for some stats advice here. Should I just make this character a main or can I still have a successful rune pure account? What kind of stats should I aim for?

If you already have a main, theres no real need.

 

Also, will this be for pking purposes? Or enjoyment of the game?

 

From my experience. 90% of f2p pking involves no armour - so if thats still the case, theres no need for defence.

If you quested the defence it can still be salvaged as a pure if not then you can't get the things all the rune pures of today need to be successful without a lot more defence levels.

If you trained defence to 40 F2P (didn't do any member quests yet) then you shouldn't bother being a pure. As stated above, you need to do some quests to compete with other rune/zerker pures. Seeing as the required quests give some defence xp, you'll certainly go over ~45.

 

If you don't have a main already, just get members and go nuts! So much more shit to do in the P2P game; free play is only like 10% of the full thing. If you do have a main already, just keep the account you posted for F2P pking I guess. Not much reason to train defence in F2P, no real quests or bosses that would require high levels.

If you were going for a modern P2P pure, you could go for Storm of Armadyl as primary weapon - expensive and extremely strong, requiring at least 65 (I think) defence + quests (and 77 agility+mining). As F2P pker, you're pretty much good if you train strength and ranged a bit more (70s and up ideally). If you want a P2P zerker, you'll have to start over for reasons mentioned above.
