    A noobish question

    Main pking typically involves either dhing, bridding, or fighting with a clan in deep wild with maxed or near-maxed combat stats.

    A noobish question

    An account with 60/60/60 stats would be completely outclassed by basically any other build of a similar combat level. The combat bracket for mains doesn't start until around ~110+. Also, main pking and no risk don't really go together - most people who main pk do so because they know that the loot is guaranteed to be somewhat decent. If you're looking for a build that performs well in pvp with minimal risk, I would recommend making a voider.

    What meteor said, a voider or even a low lvl tank ranger being 40 def 70 range, d hide is quite cheap and you'll do well against pures with the defence. Then when you get time it's a simple task of getting the void

    Void is basically that build, except you need do pest control to get void armour set taking 10-15 hours, requires 42 defence instead of 40. You'd be a ranger using that gear, if you died you can run back and pick up your armour.

    Try google it you'll get all the info you need there

    Void actually requires 42 defence to use and is only buyable with points from an npc at the Pest Control minigame. Having a higher defence level isn't optimal as it gives you unnecessary combat levels. Void rangers will also typically use a crossbow with dragon (e) bolts, a dark bow, or a ballista (new ranged weapon) to ko, but I have seen some people use a melee helm switch with a gmaul before too.

    Depending on what your other stats are, I would recommend making a new account. The most time consuming part of making a voider that you can start pking on is obtaining the void itself, so if you haven't made any progress on that yet, you won't really be losing out on much by starting over.

    At the lower levels, it would probably be better to stick with just using ranged, so there's no real need to get your strength higher than 42 right away. 70 range will also take far less time than getting full void (not sure where you got 12 hours from, I think it's even longer on the novice boat). Of course it's ultimately up to you to determine if it would be worth starting over, but I don't think that you would be losing that much to justify not trying to optimize a pvp based build.

    Void requires level 42 in all combat stats as well as 22 prayer, but these can be easily quested or trained up. I also don't recall 70 ranged taking me longer than a few hours, but I also used the most expensive methods (cannon -> chinning as soon as I could). Depending on how much money you have to work with it could take longer.
