Is There Anyway?

[Pure ShadeZ]

Hello!

 

I just recently go back into play Runescape 3 after a long and hard break of not playing for almost a few years now.

 

A lot of friends seemed to get back into after the Evolution of Combat update came into play and enjoy it, and of course they talked me back into making an account and joining them on their adventurers.

So from that I created a new account just today and everyone told me to go Range Pure, I've never had a pure before so I decided to accept the challenge and go on with it.

 

I just began the first quest/tutorial stage and it seems that you're automatically given a bronze sword. And from that I hit a giant brick wall.

 

Be main goal is to strictly keep my Strength, Defense, and Attack at level 1 and boosting my Constitution and Ranging levels to the max. I can't seem to access my backpack/inventory during the beginning stage and this leads my to gaining my Defense level to level 2. I hate to have it had level 2, yes, a bit OCD with numbers.

 

Is there anyway that you could not gain any Str, Def, or Att XP during the starting stage?

It seems like your friends are giving you advice based on pre-EoC mechanics; I would suggest playing on Old School RuneScape if you want to make a pure account, since OSRS is based on an August 2007 snapshot of the game.

Being a ranged pure in EoC wouldn't give you any significant advantage like you may have been able to get back in the pre-EoC days, so I would keep that in mind when choosing to be a range pure on EoC.

Do note that I'm not saying you *shouldn't* be a pure on EoC; it would definitely offer a challenge compared to playing a regular character, if you're interested in that.

 

As for the tutorial, I read that there was a way to skip the tutorial so that you would be sent straight to Taverley, but I don't know the details (it might even have been a glitch.)

I'd agree with the sentiment pures are next to worthless in eoc with people using all three styles having a significant advantage right through until you hit the lvl 80 weapons where you can get by as 1 style, or lvl 90 where you can do what the heck you want.

 

If you do want to make a pure ignoring defence is a bad idea, in eoc defence matters much more than it did before eoc. With armour accounting for around half your health and a massive amount of defence you need those levels to get any sort of decent gear.

Keep attack/strength 1 get your defence up to 50 and get 92 fletching for DL darts ^^.
