A pure is generally someone who has a player that is high in a level like attack strength range or mage, and is based around the idea of being about æurely?one skill ?thus the name pures.
There is a true pure and what people call an off set pure where the attack and strength or mage or range doesnæ° affect the combat levels. So for an off set pure Range like what I have he is level 80 with 80 range with 70 defense and a high prayer not a pure right? Well it is because look the range is where all of my combat levels are coming from. I am a member, I want a high defense level knowing about all the goodies members get to fight with and now I can uses barrows armor.
Another example of a off set pure level 99 range level 99 defense and level 52 prayer he would be about level just over 100 but now I can have give him 69 attack and strength without having attack and strength affecting the combat level at all. But now for people who donæ° see that as a long term goal to get to be one of the greats just want a low level pure PKer then I would say it like this. Level 1 - 4 defense levels per pure level to keep combat down but keep your defense for a pure strength I would say to begin with 40 attack is a must to wield a rune weapon, for members look into 60 attack for dragon weapons. For a pure mage 2-5 defense levels per mage level, keeping in mind you might want to get a few attack and strength levels to help you get your defense up when you want to get it up
