First question...

 

How high should I, if at all, get my range and mage?

 

What should my strength lvl be before I begin pking?

 

Should I stay with 13 prayer or get 31?

[kwimbob]

It's a good idea to get your mage as high as you possibly can without it pushing your combat forward. I suggest this because it is a fact that your magic level, along with your magic defence bonuses and defence level, makes up your overall magic defence.

[sweetdeal7777]

Does this hold true for range as well?

[antonwhy]

yes, it counts for range as well. 40 ranged allows for you to wear green champs and vambraces as well as giving several more hp levels.

 

 

 

U shouldnt really train prayer in f2p as it drains really quickly

[primadog]

Pure, by definition, should not have any prayer level.

[Risen_The]

I'd say train until 50 str.

 

 

 

40 Range might be good, but it'll get you hits exps as there is no cannoing in F2P.

[Doomster]

If you can handle the tedium of curse casting (1 by 1), then it's a cheap, 0 HP way to raise mage, especially if you make all the runes, or buy the bodies (usually cheap) and make either earth or water and wield the opposite staff.

 

 

 

Witch's Potion and Imp catcher will also give a magic boost.

 

 

 

Reasons for raising mage:

 

1. Mage level helps defence against magic

 

2. Teleport, if you choose to

 

3. Alching drops

 

4. Can be done without raising HP (curses, weakens, tele, alch, enchant)

 

 

 

 

 

Ranged level is useful for:

 

(level 20) - change your iron legs for studded chaps, stronger all round defence and + rather than - in magic defence.

 

 

 

(level 40) - Dragonhide (green) chaps and vambraces

 

 

 

Members can use higher dragonhide pieces at levels 50, 60, 70

 

 

 

There is no direct benefit from ranged level itself, unless you are actually operating as a melee/range hybrid, unlike the magic defence effect of mage level.

[T0mmyB]

I believe it all really depends on what your going for.

 

 

 

My pure at the moment is Attack-40, Strength-50, Defence-1, Range-40, Magic-1, Hp-44 Combat 40.

 

 

 

I like the approach of keeping melee as my main combat type and training range and mage for the extra hp levels. However of course if you want to keep a lower combat, train mage using spells like curse, as doomster said, as this will not give you hp exp.

 

It also holds true that raising magic and range on the side increases your defence for each ability, and this is especially useful if your not gaining combat levels.

 

 

 

:arrow: I personally prefer the extra hp compensating with a few extra combat levels :)

 

 

 

Also, if you are F2P i wouldn't be getting prayer; it's just not worth it at lower levels, especially without prayer pots and the like.

 

 

 

Hope i helped a bit... :oops:
