Learn about some of the most powerful PK classes in Runescape - Range pures and the maxed Range pure. Here is a Rs guide explaining everything from armor to the way to attack with Range pures.
Range Pures
A Range pure is a Runescape player whose main attack is Range. Range pures often have 99 Range and will attack by what is known as farcasting in Runescape. Although Magers usually are called farcasters, Range attacks are considered to be a far cast since they attack from a far distance. Range pures often use Magic attacks, like teleblock to block players from teleporting and one of the three holding Magic spells to stop other players from running, which are Bind, Snare, or Entangle.
There are different types of Range pures. There is the level 1 Defense Range pure, level 40 defense Range pure, level 70 defense Range pure, and the maxed Range pure. Of course, there are some types in between, and many different variations of pures; however, these are the 4 most basic types of Range pures that all other Range pures are based off.
Level 1 Defense Range Pure
This is the most basic and lowest level Range pure. Often times, 1 Defense Range pures will have all other combat stats, besides maybe Magic, Prayer, and of course Hit Points, all at level 1. This will result in a combat level close to 75. With these, you will only be able to use hard leather armor. However, you are able to use almost every bow, depending on the quests you have finished. Usually for PKing, you will use a Magic short bow or a Rune crossbow for members, P2P. For F2P, you will most likely use the maple shortbow.
Pking with a 1 Defense Range pure is fairly simple. All you have to do is attack people around your level, but make sure to teleblock them so they can't teleport and hold them from running with one of the three magic spells.
Level 40 Defense Range Pure
The 40 Defense Range pure is the pure wearing green dragonhide armor. They have a combat level of around 90, which depends on the Range pure's Prayer level. They use the same weapons as level 1 Defense Range pures. The only real difference is their defense level and the armor that they can wear.
You can also decide to get 50 Defense to wear blue dragonhide, or get up to 60 defense for red dragonhide armor. All of these PK the same as the level 40 Defense Range pure, having only different defense and combat levels, making it somewhat more dangerous and harder to PK with.
