Pure melee guide

Pure melee accounts are the most common type of account for new players to use and are very easy to use. This is a guide on how to make them.

Advantages

 * It can be cheaper to train as a melee pure because there is no need for consumable items, such as arrows or runes.
 * At higher strength and attack levels, melee pures can hit considerably high, as well as frequently.

Disadvantages

 * Melee pures are highly susceptible against magic attacks, as it hits harder and with greater frequency, due to the fact that they would mostly be wearing metal armours.

Money and levels
Go to Follow the road out of Lumbridge to the north-west, then go north round Draynor Manor and Barbarian Village and you should see a building with students and Professor Henry in it. Walk round the back to a jail entrance and complete the Stronghold of Player Safety. When you are given antique lamps, use them for two of the following, or the same skill twice:
 * Attack (not recommended until you have used the dummies: If you want to use this keep the lamp until afterwards.).
 * Strength
 * Defence (although not actually a melee skill, it is useful for all Combat classes.)
 * Hitpoints (this skill is slow to train by fighting.)
 * Prayer (as mentioned in Disadvantages, Prayer can be used to block magic, as well as melee and ranged.)

Get to the small chest at the stronghold and open it, to get the safety gloves and 10,000 coins. Click here for more information.

Levels 1-8 Attack
Head up to Varrock and look for a building near the east bank with dummies in it. Keep clicking on dummies until you have 8 Attack. You can then not gain any experience from them. Buy a black weapon (preferably a scimitar), and a set of black armour for use later.

Training
Kill chickens in the farm over the river from Lumbridge. Wear your full black armour when you get the correct levels. At 20 attack, strength and defence, return to the GE and buy a mithril armour set and scimitar and sell the full black, and scimitar from the kit. Melee armour is expensive, so see the Money making guide. Train on thieves until 30 attack, strength and defence.

Levels 30-40 Attack, Strength and Defence
You can kill cows if you need the money, but if you don't really need it and have a high defence level than train on Flesh Crawlers, they give around 2000-4000 xp in one hour. Hill giant, are also very effective for lower levels but they hit up to 5 instead of 1's like the crawlers. But i would advice training on crawlers to 99 strength.

Levels 70-80 Strength and 60 Attack
If you get bored at crawlers you might wanna come train at clan wars, praying will give you pretty good xp. Around 10-20k xp per hour.

Levels 81-99 Strength
Note: Doing the vampire slayer quest might be helpful for leveling up strength (recommended level at least 50). Anyhow you should bring a couple of salmons, just to play it safe. Pures should bring more..but I think 10 would be enough.
