Every Pure In Runescape!

Thanks to wikia.com here is every main pure in runescape.. Ill start adding picures tommrow im very sleepy.

Attack 1​

Recommended equipment: Obsidian Maul, Berserker Necklace, Berserker Ring, Regen Bracelet, Monk Robes, Obsidian Cape, iron full helm or Bearhead.
These pures are players that have a lot of funds and a lot of time. They stay at 1, 5, 10, 20 Attack, (mostly 1 attack) and 60+ strength for the Obsidian Maul. Some combine range or magic with this to make a deadly but costly combat combo (balance wise). Some also have 1-31-52 prayer. Pures with 1 attack can not get climbing boots due to the fact that the Death Plateau quest has to be completed to obtain them, this quest gives out attack experience points.

​

Defence 1​

Recommended equipment: Abyssal whip, Saradomin sword, Godsword, or dragon scimitar, amulet of fury , unholy book, bearhead, iron platebody, black d'hide chaps, climbing boots, fire cape, berserker ring, adamant gloves, regen bracelet (has more accuracy than adamant gloves and combat bracelet)
These pures were created with pking in mind. A lot of people with defence did not pk in their best equipment unless they have a very large amount of money. With this in mind players created pures so that they could hit high at low combat so that they could destroy an opponent with rune and under armour. The structure of a pure (high attack, strength and hitpoints with low defence) gives a player a better chance of killing an enemy before he runs away, which was fairly common in the Wilderness. This line of thought carries into Bounty Hunter, since an opponent running for the exit has more chance of being killed by someone with high attack and strength than someone who has moderate attack, defence and strength. Low defence keeps the combat level down, so pures can more often than not kill a main account of the same level. Having a pure with high attack and strength creates a powerful account which makes up for its lack of defence. Even though you can hit accurately with high damage, you also receive a lot of damage in return, essentially creating a double edged sword. This is the most popular form of pure among RuneScape players and the type most people think of when talking about pures. Pure attack and strength has the benefit to quickly eliminate your opponent which limits the damage you receive.

​

Defence 10​

Recommended equipment: Melee weapon of choice, Slayer helmet, bearhead or black full helm, black platebody, black d'hide chaps, regen bracelet (Cannot get rune gloves on 10 defence), amulet of fury, black defender or unholy book, climbing boots, fire cape, berserker ring
Some players get 10 defence to wear black armour and combat robes or druidic mage robes while only gaining 1 or 2 combat levels. These pures aren't very common, while most of pures are choosing 1 or 20 defence. The total strength bonus of a "black pure" is 27, 29 with an amulet of strength

Defence 20​

Recommended equipment: Melee weapon of choice, Bearhead or Initiate Sallet, initiate platebody, Black Dragon Hide Chaps, Rune Gloves, Amulet of Fury, Mithril Defender, Climbing Boots, Fire Cape, Berserker Ring
Some players choose to get their Defence to a level of 20 so as to be able to wear Initiate Armour. It's done to have a greater Prayer bonus which will help in keeping one's Prayer level up for longer periods of time and for the better Defence against Magic provided. The only time this pure wears full Initiate Armour is when relying on Prayer. The total strength bonus of an initiate pure is 28. 30 with Amulet of Strength.

​

Defence 30​

Recommended equipment: Melee weapon of choice, Proselyte Armour, Rune gloves, Amulet of fury, Adamant defender, Climbing boots, Fire cape, Berserker ring.
Some Initiate pures get 30 defence (to wear Proselyte Armour as it provides better Prayer and Defence Bonus) when their strength reaches a high level. They normally get 60 or 70/75 attack for Dragon scimitar or Abyssal whip/Godsword, then 70 to 99 strength. The total strength bonus a proselyte pure gets from the outfit above is 30. 32 with strength amulet.

Defence 40-45​

Recommended equipment: Melee weapon of choice, Fighter torso, Rune platelegs, Berserker helm, Berserker ring, Rune defender, Barrows gloves, Amulet of fury, Fire cape, Rune boots, Void Knight equipment
Other players choose to get 40 defence or 45 for a greater selection of armour and the tremendous increase in strength given by the proper berserker pure outfit (see above). Those who get 40 defence have access to Rune armour, Dragonhide armour, Splitbark armour and the Fighter torso (which has a greater defence against slash attacks than rune platebody but has lower Defence against stab and crush attacks). Those who gain 5 more defence levels can wear the Berserker Helm. The other 'perk' that comes with 45 Defence is access to lunar magics and the vengeance spell plus the ability to wield Dragon and Barrows Gloves from the quest Recipe for Disaster. To achieve Barrows Gloves this pure would have to gain a total of 176 quest points and get all their Defence experience directly from quests. The quests a typical zerker pure will get defence from are The Fremennik trials, dragon slayer, Monkey Madness (accept the strength and hitpoints xp to get the lowest amount of defence xp), and Hero's Quest, for Barrows gloves. The total Strength bonus of bonus of a Zerker pure is +44, so a Dragon Scimitar, for example, would have +110 strength.

Defence 50​

Recommended equipment: Saradomin Sword/Godsword, Granite legs, fighter torso, Climbing boots, Berserker helm, Berserker ring, Barrows gloves, Amulet of fury, Fire cape
Although uncommon, level 50 defence pures as they are known are being created. Many players view this as odd but it is not truly so. There a few advantages of 50 defence. One of them being able to better range tank as a hybrid. Another one includes fighting rangers with the granite legs. Another main advantage is that having an Attack level of 75, a Defence of 50, a Prayer level of 52, and a Strength level of 99 allows the player to max out at combat level 100. One bonus to 50 defence is that having a factor of 100 increases the extra defence though this is not 100% confirmed yet. An added bonus is the ability to use the Battle robes from Fist of Guthix.

Defence 70​

Recommended equipment: Melee weapon of choice, Barrows equipment set of choice, Barrows gloves, amulet of fury, fire cape or strength cape, berserker ring
A Barrows pure (which isn't considered by some players to be a true pure) is a player killer with and Attack and Defence level of 70. Most player killers who choose to raise their defence levels to this extent do it to wear a powerful set of armours known as Barrows.
Defence tends to be the more neglected of the three melee stats, so the standard for a Melee tank is simply set by the relative levels. A level 75 wearing Torag The Corrupted's set of barrows equipment is considered a tank, due to a very high defence level relative to other level 75 players, but a level 100 wearing Verac is not considered a tank (unless they have 99 defence), due to the fact that 70 defence becomes significantly more common among similarly levelled players. Typically, these tanks are not the most effective variant, due to the fact that they are likely forced into a lower strength or attack level in order to maintain a lower combat.

Magic Pures​

Defence 1​

Recommended equipment: Magic staff of choice, mage's book, Wizard hat, wizard robe top, leather chaps, wizard boots, adamant gloves, god cape, seers ring
A description often used for a Player killer that routinely fights using the Magic skill. Pure mages can hit for lots of damage at a low level, ideally killing their target before it has a chance to run, but at higher levels, the power of Magic is greatly weakened.
In P2P, low-level (30-40's) PKing with Magic is highly discouraged with the large population of Range Pures and improved dragonhide armour that weaken the accuracy of magic spells immensely. The use of mystic is rare due to the fact that it needs 20 defence, and is an expensive loss if the player dies. However, in more recent times, the strategy of using prayer to enhance the accuracy of magic spells have become more common and favoured, because the player does not risk any expensive types of magic robes. Runes are very expensive and magic is considered better for teleporting, smelting and enchanting than for fighting. Magic will only do good for fighting between level 5 and 30; mainly for pking.
The Mage Pure has no use for low level prayer - even protect item will not save runes, though it may be worth it to save a battlestaff or a piece of member's mage armour.
Also, mage pures tend to die more often than other pures, mainly because of their low hitpoints level, which is often due to training with curse and alchemy (otherwise noncombat) spells, whereas other pures tend to have a higher hitpoints level and are able to take more hits before needing to eat.

Defence 20-25​

Recommended equipment: Staff of choice, Mage's Book, Mystic Robes Set or Infinity Hat (no gloves), Combat Bracelet, God Cape, Seers' Ring
Some players choose to get their Defence to a level of 20 so as to be able to wear Mystic robes for a much larger Magic attack bonus which helps while spellcasting. Also, you can opt to get 25 Defence for Infinity Robes.
[edit] Defence 50
Recommended equipment: Staff of choice, Mage's Book, Battle Robes, Combat Bracelet, God Cape, Seers' Ring
A rare type of mage pure, usually berserker pures that mistakenly get more than 45 defence will bump it up to 50. The benefit of 50 defence allows them to wear Battle robes. These robes provide a much higher bonus opposed to the Mystic Robes/Infinity Robes. However the Infinity Hat surpasses the Battle Robe hood.
Another benefit of the combat robes is that if the full set is equipped, there is a good chance that the robes will supply any Mind, Chaos, Death or Blood runes when casting a combat spell.
[edit] Defence 70
Recommended equipment: Staff of choice, Mage's Book, Ahrim's Set, Combat Bracelet, God Cape, Seer's Ring
Although not commonly seen, a Mage Tank will often have a very high Magic level, along with 70 Defence to utilise Ahrim's Robes. These tanks are extremely rare, and are often easily taken down by a Damage Range Tank.

​

Range Pures​

Defence 1​

A term often used for any PKer that routinely fights using the Ranged skill.
Since Defence is only required to wear the body section of the leather armour and the coif rewards from Fist of Guthix, a level 20 ranger can upgrade to Studded Chaps and a Coif, and a level 40 with no defence can wear Green Dragonhide Vambraces and Green Dragonhide Chaps, a Coif and a basic Leather Body. Another common item is the Iron Chainbody, due to it's defence bonus with no range attack negative.
For P2P rangers, it is advised to wear the highest-level Dragonhide that is available for the player's range level. The Magic Shortbow is a must for PKing, as it has a special attack unlike other bows and with the use of rune arrows, medium to high level rangers prove quite deadly. Rangers succeed most in the high level 30's to the low level 40's.
With the addition of the Dark Bow and Rune Crossbow, rangers at higher combat levels have a much higher chance of defeating other players in armour, compared to the Magic Shortbow.
The Range Pure has no use for low level prayer, except to protect a crossbow or dark bow - protect item will not save arrows. Another prayer sometimes used is the protect prayers, but is not advised since it is not needed at a pure low level
There is another type of range pure that involves a player not getting hitpoints at all. To use this type of pure a player must level ranged using either cannon, exp lamp, archery minigame at the ranging guild and/or soul wars. This type of pure involves using a dark bow to kill the target in one hit, 25 prayer recommended for using protect item in case of death. A pure with 43 prayer, 10 hitpoints, and 60 ranged will come out to be level 37, capable of hitting 27 damage per dark bow special arrow, that's a total of 54 damage in one hit, it is capable of taking out most people around level 35-45 in one hit. Unfortunately, your only form of defence is using protect from melee, however it is possible to get 50 magic to access the snare spell in order to disable the target allowing you to get 2, maybe 3 shots in at once. Getting 50 magic will not affect your combat level unless you get to 60 magic. This method is very effective however, it does not prevent other players from killing you. This type of pure can only be used for roughly 3000 kills before it becomes obsolete, as every time you hit you gain hitpoints experience, and soon, it will become too high level to pk effectively. However, you can get to 71 range and 10 hp, along with 50 magic at level 43, allowing you to pk very effectively, this type of pure lasts almost double the last one's kill count, assuming that you do not kill any monsters. An even better idea is to get hitpoints instead of prayer.

Defence 40-70​

The second most common tank variant is a Tank Ranger. By far the most commonly seen form of a Tank Ranger is a player wearing a Black Dragonhide body with Rune Platelegs, a Rune Full Helmet, and a Rune Kiteshield, often with a Rune Crossbow as the weapon of choice. However, these tanks are often described as "wannabe tanks" due to the fact that they generally do not have a very high defence bonus. Generally, the most effective Tank Ranger is a setup in which the Rune Helm is replaced with a Torag's Helm, the Rune Platelegs replaced with Torag's platelegs, and a superior shield such as a Granite shield, Crystal Shield or Obsidian shield in place of the Rune Kiteshield.
Another type of Tank Ranger utilises armour such as Karil's for the phenomenal magic defence, and uses a very powerful weapon such as a Dark Bow or Karil's Crossbow. Due to the low melee defence of Karil's armour, this tank doesn't not excel against meleers, and as such, many also have the gear for regular Tank Ranging.
edit Defence Pure or Tank

​

An Example of a Defence Pure
Although extremely rare, a true Defence Pure is a character who solely trains Defence, whilst purposefully not gaining experience in the 2 melee stats. These types of pures can be useful for tanking, a method groups use to tackle powerful monsters. It is possible to gain 60 defence while not exceeding 30 combat; if the account is purely defence, it is possible to achieve level 99 defence at the lowest, level 27 combat. However, Defence Pures are not very effective, as they have a max hit of 1 and hit many 0's due to the lack of attack and strength levels. A popular way of killing the opponent is to use an iron dagger (p++) to slowly whittle their health down. They then switch to a red topaz machete, which has the highest attack bonus of weapons requiring 1 attack. For non members, the highest attack bonus is shared with Silverlight and the Blurite sword. Another is, with 75 defence and the all-powerful Dragonfire Shield, using the shield to hit 17+. Training an account to 60 defence takes a good deal of patience gaining a maximum of 4 experience per attack, while not consistently administering damage. The more common reason for a Defence Pure is to show off one's opulence, such as equipping the account with Dragon chainmail, Dragon Legs or Plateskirt, and a Dragon full helmet of some sort. A good way to train defence pures is to kill men in Edgeville, in the house just north of the bank. Soul Wars is the notable way of training Defence as one could go from level 40-99 in about a month as Zeal points give massive experience.
An option for a member account wishing to build a defensive pure would be to train Farming skill (which doesn't get accounted for in combat skill calculations) and using the Magic secateurs for damage. The one problem with this approach is that the quests needed to obtain the secateurs require defeating the Dramen Tree Spirit with limited equipment and armour that you can make while on Entrana, and defeating several other creatures. Some of these creatures may require some limited combat with ranging equipment instead. These quests also grant experience in defence and attack, so it won't be so much a "pure" defence after completing these quests either.
Another way a defence pure or tank will train defence without training Strength or Attack is by sacrificing some of their combat level to the skill Summoning. they will get the lowest level Summoning as they possibly can but try to get a familiar that gives bonus Defence experience. a popular familiar is the Bronze Minotaur, which can hit higher than a defence pure or tank can.

Hybrid​

A hybrid is a term usually used for combat pures. A hybrid works on multiple skills. The most common hybrid is ranged/magic. It is difficult to use, but it should be possible to have equal primary statistics in two or even three classes of combat or at least a working ability in one or two other combat classes. Usually it is best to work on only 2 different combat types, rather than working on 3. Otherwise your combat will be high and your combat skill level will not be the best it can be.
Carrying two or three different sets of equipment would leave a hybrid with a lot to lose and very little space for food, but enable you to stand in two or three points of the Combat Triangle.
Armoured warrior is weak against Mage (if you have no other choice, take off your armour and charge the mage if you are willing to take a risk.)
Mages are weak against Rangers, as range armour is better defensively against magic than mage gear is against arrows.
Ranger is generally weak against Warrior (use bind to stop the warrior approaching if mage-range hybrid, and make good use of obstructions such as forest, fences, or higher ground).
At the very least, the Mage or Ranger should carry a backup weapon and train attack and strength to do worthwhile damage with it, better than hitting with their staff or bow when out of ammunition. A slashing weapon, such as a scimitar, is also needed to enter areas protected by a web.
Ranged/Mage: At low levels, Ranged/Magic hybrids can deal speedy damage and then finish their targets off with a powerful spell. At higher levels, Magic is merely used to bind other players, and to attack melee fighters in metal armour.
Melee/Ranged: Uses dragonhide chaps/vambs. The player switches from the bow when the opponent is low on hitpoints to a powerful melee weapon. Weapons used include Granite maul, TzHaar-Ket-Om (Obsidian Maul), Rune 2h Sword, or a Dragon Dagger.
Any/Mage: Enables teleport spells, bind, and combat spells, and increases resistance to Magic.
Any/Melee: Gives a backup combat method when out of runes or arrows, and good for kills that aren't worth wasting non-renewable items on.
Mage/Melee: An increasingly popular strategy among lower levels is to Ice Blitz an enemy from a distance, and then perform a dragon dagger special on the person/monster. This prevents the enemy from escaping, while allowing the player to inflict damage a few seconds before the enemy reaches the person. These pures can often be spotted in F2P wearing magical robes, and a fast weapon, such as a rune scimitar, or a DD(P++), and possibly a shield. This makes a good combination for F2P. They start by opening a Melee attack, then binding the foe as he or she tries to run. They may use a power spell as a finisher, which can be very affective. These Hybrids, however, are very uncommon, and can easily be taken down by a Pure Ranger.
Any/Prayer: Prayer allows the use of protect item, smite, which lowers one's prayer, and prayers to boost attack, strength, defence, ranged, and magic accuracy.
Melee/Melee: First uses a simple fast weapon like a Rune scimitar, then takes out a much stronger weapon like Rune 2h sword or Rune Battleaxe to perform a much stronger attack at the same speed. But then its as slow as weapon chosen.
Ranged/Ranged: Similar to melee/melee, as the person uses a fast weapon such as a Magic shortbow, then takes out a much stronger ranged weapon such as a Dark bow or Rune c'bow.
Hybrids are the most feared types of pures as they can do damage in many different ways. In f2p the best possible hybrid for low level crater is melee/ranged, but once you reach a Combat level of 56, then you must use the medium level crater in Bounty Hunter. It is highly recommended to tank and get your attack and strength up. The tactics: Range/2h and Range/G Maul:Bring a strength potion and drink it then attack your target with the 2h and immediately switch to your bow and start attacking. Once the opponent's health is extremely low they should be ready to eat. The next time your character pulls the arrow back on the bow click your 2h and then the person your attacking which normally leads to a KO (knockout). Range and G Mauling is the same thing except when you switched to your maul you must click then click the special bar on the attack screen. Ranged/Mage- Against warriors use your bind spell (or ice spell if you have Ancients) and then start to range and then go to your spell book and get ready to cast your highest damage inflicting spell. When your target has almost no hp your target will probably eat the same time you shoot. Keep casting a high damage spell and your target will probably be overwhelmed and die. Melee/Mage- Against warriors, attack using a fast hitting weapon and finish off with a high strength weapon. If your target decides to run, you should already be ready to cast bind on him. You may also cast a fire blast as a finisher. In free to play the max hit for your best spell Fire blast is 16. It may be helpful to know that using one form of combat (e.g., ranged with a shortbow on rapid), then after a few shots switching to a weapon of a completely different combat style (e.g. rune scimitar), it is possible to bypass protection prayers, as the opponent will often not be able to switch the prayer in time to protect against that quick strike. This however, has the irritating side effect of sometimes generating criticism.
Another type of combat pure involves counting your combat level right. Using the soul wars minigame, dwarf cannon, curses, high alching, and exp lamps, you can get to level 37 with 90 strength, 50 magic, 60 range,43 prayer and 10 hitpoints. This provides a very, very good pking combination and allows you to hit a maximum of 27 per arrow when using dragon arrows with dark bow special, allows you to cast snare to stop your opponent for 10 seconds, lets you use obsidian maul with outstanding results and lets you protect item should you die. Unfortunately, like the 10 hitpoint range pure, levels hitpoints when you decide to go player killing. Fortunately, it lets you pk level 80s at level 60, and gives you a decent chance against other pures.
