[Request] Defence Pure Guide [Request]

You May All Be Asking Didn't You Just Steal This From A Website??
The Answer Is Half and Half. I Looked At it To Refer To My Guide.

I. Picking a name.

There are three things to keep in mind when coming up with a name.
1. Originality - something like defil3d works well.
2. Creativity - Don't I repeat Dont use L33t For a Defense Pure Name!!
3. Inventive - Choose a name nobody will think of. It may become rare. Thus making your account worth more in the long run!!!



Finally, the most important factor in a name, you need to like the name. If you're anything like me and create an account with a name that you're not so crazy about, you'll regret it forever.


II. Equipment for training.

Weapons 4 True Defense Pures!

There are only a few weapons to choose from when making a defense pure because you'll only have 1 attack. These are Iron dagger, Iron scimitar, Red topaz machete and Silverlight.

Iron Dagger – 1.5-1.6k exp per hour. (F2P)

This is probably the best F2p weapon for training a defense pure. They attack fast, are accurate and they give a good stab bonus (for the defensive attack style).

Iron Scimitar – 1.3-1.4k exp per hour.(F2P)

This is another good weapon choice, however, not the best. An Iron Scimitar is a good sword to train with, but it is slightly worse than the Iron dagger.

Red Topaz Machete - 1.5-2k exp per hour.(P2P)

A Red topaz machete is the overall best weapon known for defense pures. It attacks just as fast as a scimitar or dagger, but has higher damage and accuracy than the iron dagger.

Silverlight – 1-1.3k exp per hour (F2P)

The Silverlight sword isn't a popular choice among defense pures, but it is effective. It has the highest damage and accuracy of the four weapons mentioned, but it attacks slower resulting in slower experience per hour.

Darklight - 1.2k-1.5k exp per hour(P2P)

The Darklight is a weapon from a Quest called Sadow From the Storm *I Think* I not sure if this weapon is at all good. Just the experience i calculated sounded good.

Armor

Bronze - 1 Defense

Bronze is a very weak armor and should not be used because Iron gives better defense bonuses while having the same defense requirements.

Iron - 1 Defense
Another weak armor, but it is the best that you can use until 5 defense.

Steel - 5 Defense

This armor is still very weak compared to others, but it is the best that you can wear until 10 defense.

Black - 10 Defense

Black is an interesting armor because you cannot make it using the smithing skill. Also, some items only drop from monsters and are not sold at shops (for example, the black kite shield). Use this armor until 20 defense.

Mithril - 20 Defense

Now you're getting to the good stuff. Mithril gives a medium defense bonus and requires 20 defense. A great thing about it, is it weighs less than other armor so you can preserve that precious energy for longer amount of time.

Adamant - 30 Defense

Adamant also gives a decent defense bonus. A cool thing about it, is that you can get it in trimmed or gold trimmed if you want to look fancy . Use this armor until 40 defense.

Rune - 40 Defense

Now we're getting to the higher armors. Rune armor gives the best defense bonus for free to play worlds and some defense pures stop here. But we're going to keep going! Use Rune armor until 60 defense.

Dragon and Obsidian - 60 Defense

Dragon armor is probably the prettiest armor (in my opinion ). It also gives a great defense bonus. And once again, a lot of defense pures stop here, but we're going to continue to be the best. Use dragon armor until 65 or 70 defense. Depending on the amount of money you have to spend.

Third Age Melee - 65 Defense

Third Age armor comes from a long time ago. It gives a great defense bonus, but there's a down side. It is amazingly expensive. It isn't much better than dragon, so you can stick with dragon until 70 defense.

Barrows - 70 Defense

Barrows is the ultimate armor for defense pures and for any other type of character with 70 defense for that matter. There is a down side though. It needs to be repaired after every 15 hours of combat (and it costs a good amount to repair). The repair costs are listed below.

Keep in mind these are the repair costs when the item is at 0. You can repair it earlier for less.

Barrows Helms - 60,000 gp
Barrows Body Armor - 90,000 gp
Barrows Leg Armor - 80,000 gp
Barrows Weapons - 100,000 gp

You may continue using barrows until 99 defense! Although, if you plan on training that long on monks, you can use another armor so you don't need to pay repair costs. Monks will not hit on anything from Adamant to Barrows. Anyways, you're not done yet. You still need to get 75 defense for the most exciting item of all... The Dragonfire Shield!

Dragonfire Shield - 75 Defense

The Dragonfire Shield works wonders for defense pures. It allows them to stake and even PK with ease. What makes it so special is that it has a special attack. The special attack uses the fire from dragons to your advantage. What you must do is charge the shield by having dragons use their fiery breath attack on it. Once it is fully charge you may "operate" it to unleash the fire on an opponent.

BEWARE! The Dragonfire Shield will give magic experience if you use the special attack on a monster. So only use the special attack on other players if you want to continue as a defense pure.

For more information on the Dragonfire Shield visit these links: Runescape Knowledge Base or Zybez Item Database

III. Training spots. (monster info taken from Zybez.net)

1-10 Defense:

The ideal monster to train on for these levels is Chicken (level-3). There are many in one location, and they deal no damage (no matter what defense level you have)



Combat: 3
Hitpoints: 3
Race: Animal
Members: No
Quest: No
Nature: Not Aggressive
Attack Style: Melee
Examine: Yep definitely a chicken.

If You Want get mage until 40 combat. getting 40 combat lets you get in Pest control!. You may not want to do this unless you want to ruin your Def pure! When in Pest control dont attack anything
just repair the gates, etc for zeals... trade in your points for defence exp.
*Note* Dont do until 60+ Defense.



Combat: 5
Hitpoints: 15
Race: Human
Members: No
Quest: No
Nature: Not Aggressive
Attack Style: Melee
Examine: A holy man.


IV. Helpful quests.

At the moment there are no quests that can be easily done on a defense pure that give defense experience. So this section will be coming soon…


V. Avoiding Trouble

1. While training at the monastery, you may be tempted to leave your computer. However, this is against JaGeX rules and is dangerous because of random events. I believe that it is allowed to browse other web pages while training though.

2. Once you've become a pretty good defense pure, with say… 40 – 70 defense, you will want to show off with fancy armor or items. Be Careful!

3. While training on monks, I guarantee that there will be people coming and flaming you for not killing the monk fast enough. Just add them to your ignore list, because it isn't worth getting banned.

 

Good read, good guide.

 

Yeah lol Good guide. Add some pics maybe though. 8/10

 

Thanks I will Post Pictures Soon

 

Good guide. If I started making money to buy my armor after 20 defense, about how much would all this cost me if I was to get 99 defense, and how would I make my money? I plan on getting range after about 65-70 defense, and getting 99 defense and 99 range and 99 hitpoints, due to the effects i've seen other pkers like this put on the game and pking. Very good guide, if there was pictures I'd give you a 9, but so far 8.5/10

 

Extremely good guide i only miss pictures, add that and this guide would be perfect.

 

Great guide, had good content and a nice layout.

 

Thanks everyone for the post. I am taking your advice and adding pictures!

 

You Could make money buy picking flax?? thats what i did for about 300k of my money. I also fished and mined p ess.

 

great guide 7/10 - pics would make it 9/10.Thanks for posting it

 

Slayer staff.

Fastest weapon w/ 1 att.


Defil3d used, and alot of pure str's do.

 

Ripped from RSC.
I'll find the link in a sec, but it's Alec's guide.
Edit: There we are: http://www.zybez.net/community/index.php?showtopic=890113

 

Yeah, True. Saw this before.
Its copyright on it ...

 

You talk about creativity in a name. Isn't it ironic that you teach people about creativity yet your name is Solid Ranqe?

Anyways, nice name. Your opinions you state as facts are false, and a defence pure guide is simple.

"1-10 def wear steel/black train at monks" etc. Not that hard. Only idiots that have no sense in low level training wouldn't know how to make a defence pure.

Anyways, cool, I guess.

 

Actually very good, I enjoyed reading the guide I'd rate it 8/10.. Differnt color font to orginize things

 

I did say i got and added info form that guide -_-

 

pc is a bad place to train def

 

Every bit of this guide was taken from RunescapeCommunity.

"Al3c" on RuneScape community has the SAME exact guide, except that it was posted last year.

Simply ripping a guide, I doubt you were trying to, "Help every who needed it!", and just so you know, it's against the rules to rip a guide.

Honestly..You barely even changed anything. Half and half. Pshh.

 

Thanks!

Its pretty easy to tell (mainly because of this part of the guide

" 1. While training at the monastery, you may be tempted to leave your computer. However, this is against JaGeX rules and is dangerous because of random events. I believe that it is allowed to browse other web pages while training though ") but that is no reason to troll...

 

Pretty cool
