Talk:Combat pure

Cbp what is wrong with the section "A pure is a player who works solely on certain skills, focusing all their attention to make those skills stronger. However, this leads to a pure having relatively low skills in other areas. Pures fall into two categories: Combat pures and Non-combat pures." -- Couchpotato99 20:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

It is already explained, with more information, in the next paragraph.

You need an introduction at the beginning, something so that people can tell what it is at a glance. -- 20:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Do people still use pures?
Are pures really necessary now that the Wilderness has been changed? Zeldafanjtl 21:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Much more to be said on this subject.
This entry only covers the basics of the common Free Play, low level pure; however, much, much more is to be said about the varioius forms of Pay To Play pures, ranging from the very common level 49 pure ranger to the rare maxed out pures that push level 90. There is also a lot more to be said about pures, the basic techniques used by them, and the current state of them in the wilderness than what the brief explainations of this article provide. Some bits of this article are also a tad outdated (since the writing/last edit of this article, it notes the price of "essence" as 20-30 gp each, whereas now, quite a bit after the pure essence update, pure essence can cap at 100 gp each). Are some major edits in order, or shall we leave the article as it is, and leave it as more of a basic explaination of what a "pure" is?

I added a ton more about p2p pures, and fixed the biased info in a way.

All my edits are rough sketches of accurate information on the topic, and are not in anyway guarenteed to be written effeciently, grammatically correct, or to up to standards. Other users may willingly fix statistical, grammatical, and any other sort of errors that I have expressed, which may or may not mislead the reader.

Written information, by cjgone2, is by no means accurate or correct, but are assumed truthful to cjgone2's knowledge.

~Thanks cjgone2

wtf??
This whole article is f2p biased we need an article on p2p pures which are much more interesting, I don't think any pure would fight in full iron by the way.
 * Please make an account...And they use full iron because they have level 1 Defence and can't wear anything better. That's why I'm changing it back... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  16:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Same as above ~cjgone2

Criticism
IMO, it's a strikingly dumb strategy to be a pure. I level my combat skills equally, but there was one time I banked all my items and went to explore the wilderness. As was inevitable, some dude with the same combat level as me -- but with the addition of a rune longsword and a bit of armour -- decided to attack me and my character nearly took him out unarmed. He must have had a pathetic defense level for fists to rival a rune weapon.

Being a pure does not make oneself a complete prayer. There are skills beyond pure aggression and it is folly to neglect them. -- 216.16.236.2 06:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Whoever wrote a good majority of this article is..
An idiot who knows nothing about pures. There's no such thing as a 'Pure Warrior'. I tried fixing as much as I could, but there is still mucho work to be done. :| B4rr4g3 You 21:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I made it a little more comprehensive and added links, should the cleanup tag still remain? -- 21:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Twin
Why does "Twin" redirect here? If I typed in Twin I'd be looking for Molly. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 18:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Search "twin" on the Official Forums. It's a player-killing term for two players with a similar name, similar stats etc.
 * So why isn't that in the article? JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  07:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll add it then. >_<

Pure nonsense
I started playing just over a month ago. One thing I could never find explained is why someone would want to create a pure. I had to deduct that it was to keep combat level low so that pk'ing people at your combat level would be easy. This article talks about pures but it doesn't give any information about why anyone would ever want to create one.

It's been asked before but I've yet to see someone answer... Is there any reason to create a pure now that pvp is gone?


 * Well first of all you can trick people into dueling you at the Al-Kharid Dueling arena if you have the combat level as them (as long as you don't explicitly scam them) and in addition, if you are a magic pure you have a lower combat level than a "regular" with the same magic level which means it is easier to kill regulars in Fist of Guthix at the same level as you (since they have lower magic) and you can get more ranking and FOG tokens. Even if they're a higher level you may be able to defeat them since other stats don't play that much of a role when you are both using magic (which is usually the case in that minigame).--99.237.222.73 14:25, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Def pure = wrong info
When talking about hardcore def pures, it says that their max hit is 1. Even without pots, it's possible to hit 2 as long as your str bonus is 43 or higher (def pures can get it to 47).

Umm
This page is for discussion of the article itself and how to improve it. Stop discussing whether you think pures are good or not, it's compleete spam.

Hitpoints pure?
Uhhh... as far as I know, it is absolutely impossible to create a hitpoints pure, probably due to the fact that you cannot level your hitpoints that high while staying at 1 in all other stats. Please, could someone edit this out along with the Summoning / Prayer pures as they are non existent. It is like saying that there is a Purple Flying Hippopotamus in Runescape. User:Mythiko97
 * The release of Soul Wars made it possible? 11:09, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it a superb article
Thank you I much enjoyed reading of all these ideas that go into making a pure :) I going to have a go make my lvl 3 quest skiller into f2p mage pure it adds another dimension to this game and I look forward to skilling in PvP then giving would-be pk-ers something to remember me by :) Perduta 02:58, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Account types
It isn't explained what an "Exodus Pure" is or what he does.. I've never heard of that one. Oh, and maybe every type of pure should have an explanation for each of his stats (e.g. why 67 Attack for a Neitiznot pure and not 70).
