How to Pick a Runescape Combat Type F2P

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

How do you know whether you should be a warrior, mage, or a ranger. This guide will give you some basic ideas to identify what to become.

Steps

1. Figure out whether you are a duo, group or solo Pker.
   
2. Based on that, you can pick a combat type.
   
3. As you start, the best combat type is mage, since at low levels you can hit the hardest with it.
   
4. Once you hit level 25, make a choice, whether you want to be a mage, melee or ranger. You could also be a hybrid.
   
5. Melee. Train to 40 attack, and 60 strength as well as 25/31 prayer.
   
   • This is great if you fight in larger teams, or want to train outside of the wilderness. At this level you will find many large teams to fight with.
     
6. Range. Train to 67 Ranging and raise your prayer level to help you defend yourself.
   
   • Range is ideal when fighting in small groups at the low level.
     
7. Mage.Becoming a mage becomes unimportant once you get to 42 combat. Until you reach 70 combat, there is no need to use mage, so picking another combat style is recommended.
   
8. Becoming a Range/2h pure is ideal for true Pkers especially soloers. Raise 40 Attack, 70 Strength and 70 Range for ideal results, with prayer as an optional stat.
   
9. This is a guide for pures, but if you want to gain defense, nothing is stopping you. Defense is great once you pass 90 combat.
   

Tips

• Identify the group you are going to be Pking with.
  
• Know the combat triangle. Mage beats melee, melee beats range, range beats mage.
  
• Specializing is especially great in large groups, because it means less risk of backstabbing
  
• People like having guys with defense on their team, because it helps take a few hits for the team, especially in large groups.
  

Warnings

• The wilderness is dangerous. Do not risk stuff you are not willing to lose.
  
• Get special stuff like gravite items. They are great for Pkers, but are long and hard to get, and easy to lose.
