Hey guys im a pure in f2p and I was wondering if these stats are good enough to pk with:
lvl 43
att 40
str 53 (almost 54)
def 1
range 58
mage 47
hp 53
pray 1

Are these stats enough to pk? could you give me tips on pking too? and which stats should i get up?

[Jess]

I'd raise up the prayer and I think any account is good enough to PK with if you have technique in pking.

Depends if you get mems or not, too.

[Ash]

I would keep 40 att/1 pray and just raise strength/range

[Paintball]

I would get at least 60 strength, and then make sure to bring in some strength pots when you go into the wildy. Since you're close to 60 range too, I would get that up as well.

According to RuneHQ's own Combat Level Calculator (doesn't appear to be online, but it is included in their MultiCalc tool), you could afford to gain a couple Range levels as it is, before leveling up due to it - in fact, you could have 62 Range, and still be level 43.

I would agree with Ash - just train Range and Strength. You won't need Prayer, and as a Range-2h user (based on your stats, I assume), it will do more to hinder you than to help you, until you reach extremely high Strength levels (90+). Trust me, I speak from experience.
As for combat level, you can go PKing at any level. You seem like you would be just fine. Just try to verify your max hit with range and a rune 2h before you go pking, if you level up a couple times in between goes, so you know the maximum you'll be able to hit (and generally be able to be hit back).
Best of luck!

This.

Get 13 prayer once you can get it without leveling.

Get 13 prayer once you can get it without leveling.

I wouldn't recommend that until a very high Strength level - until later on, it doesn't provide enough of a bonus, unless you're going a melee-only path, as otherwise, it involves switching between ranged and melee prayers, or even just prayer-flashing, which is difficult at best to do during a fight. (I speak from experience in this case - 40att/72str/76rng/13prayer pure currently)

[Ava Rusher]

Thanks guys I recently reached 60str and 60 range as i am lvl 47 and 57hp.
If we all assume that I did become members what should my stats look like when I get 60att? and at wat cb should i complete monkey madness??

[Joeythegrape]

You can do MM at any lvl really - did it at lvl 40ish with no protections.

[Sliver]

Monkey Madness is a very easy quest you can do it if you have enough monkfish and anti-poison pots plus 200k(or be really patceint doing the puzzle)

[Relinquished]

the puzzle is easy and shouldnt take longer than 15 minutes =D

[Khal_Drogo]

This is just me. But if yo matched off against my 43 id own your ass. He has decent stats. But, from what I have seen. People who pk will focus on one area alone.. I have a pure ranger who is sitting on 40 ranged at 27 combat.. so, when im at 43 combat I will be at least 75+ ranged.. and would even be able to get in 20 def levels and still only raise my combat 4 or 5 levels...Just all depends on what you want to pk, where you want to pk.. And what you want to focus on, As for your prayer dont worry about it. I would focus on getting 70+ str with 70+ att 40 def, and then train ranged and mage

[Nightfirecat]

Raising your defense to 20 will gain you 4.75 levels, usually 5 total. Getting only 20 defense, though, usually doesn't make a huge difference, when fighting pures who have simply 40 attack, and an extremely high ranged level. Generally, it tends not to be very effective, but keep in mind, raising your defense will lower your damage output for your level, so you may win a deathmatch more regularly, but in a regular fight, you'll struggle to put out the same kind of hits as your opponent.

And a pure wouldn't be much of a pure anymore if it got defense, would it?...

[Khal_Drogo]

This is why I will never get a single def lvl on a pure account! Thanks for the input ^

[Nightfirecat]

No problem. It's not to say that you can't make good PKing accounts with defense, even in F2P, but you have to be very focused to do it. Personally, I find that F2P only really allows for range tanks, and only really at mid-level. After that, you kinda have to transition into main PKing at higher levels.

[Khal_Drogo]

So true, At higher level you almost need to form a large group to pk. You maybe see a few 90's low lvl pking. Also, if you have (which at one point I did have an account like this) 99 in attack, strength, mage, range, constitution, and 40 defense your PKer will own. Hence I did not say pure. Your level is like high 80's if I remember right. Miss my PKer haha but ima make a new one

[Hi Im Trippy]

Remember, if you do monkey madness you can't accept the EXP rewards at the end, as it will level your defense.

Like Jess said, you should raise up your prayer. But, your skills seem a tad scattered, which worries me a bit. My original account had very scattered stats leading up to combat level 80, making me a very poor PvP player. None the less, you can PvP at any level, you just need to find the right target. If their skills are higher than yours, or if you have the slightest doubt in your ability to win, then don't fight them. Simple as that. Best of luck in the wild!

[Kartman 007]

You should choose a main stat, and look at a combat calculator, to figure out what sort of levels you can get to keep your combat level low.

[Longhorn143]

go for 99 str and attack.
