RuneScape F2P and P2p Wilderness Pvp/pking Guide

WARNING: This is a huge guide, it may take quite a while to load. The first part you see when the scroll bar fills a 3rd of the browser is NOT the whole thing. When it’s 1/15ths of the browser, then it’s fully loaded.

An EXTREMELY large and detailed guide on how to pvp without a pure in RuneScape. This guide is much more detailed than those small guides that just tell you what to do to train a pure. It tells you exactly how to pvp and many strategies on it, as well as what to wear and preparation, even time management. It explains the mechanics of bounty worlds too. It’s NOT similar to the others.

Activate your quick prayers so you hit harder. Even when no arming, you still miss an opponent with 70 def a lot. Let the fight go on, watching as your character deals and receives lots of damage. When your character hits hard and brings your opponent’s health bar to about 1/8 (the less bar left, the better), click on the rune 2h and click on your opponent. If you’re lucky, the 2h will also hit hard and your opponent will die. But pking isn’t that easy. More likely, your opponent won’t die and will continue eating until they aren’t in danger anymore, then resume attacking you. In that case, if the 2h didn’t kill them, immediately switch your quick prayers off to conserve prayer and change your weapon back to the scim. When the scim is about to attack again switch your quick prayers on.

Now a good rule of thumb regarding when YOU eat is dependent on your opponent’s max hit. Eat at or below their max hit with 2h. At 85 strength it’s 26, 91 str is 29, etc. If you appear to eat at too high hp (such as 1/3 of the hp bar) other people will start calling you a safer and start eating at high hp themselves or running from the fight. You would generally eat at higher hp on a strength pure because they can hit up to 31, and level 99 rangers can range/2h, with the 2h being a near-instant hit. For example, if you’re at 35 hp, you wouldn’t eat. But the ranger hits a 15 and you’re down to 20 hp, and they hit a 20 with 2h before you’ve had a chance to eat. You need good reflexes to survive range/2hers. Another case is if some melee person keeps hitting high 20s with their scim. When their 2h fails to kill you, and you’re left at like 3 hp, keep eating until your hp is back up to 30 and attack them again. Also, when eating, make sure you turn your quick prayers off because you won’t be attacking your opponent as you eat.

Sometimes, during the heat of battle, you may want to take risks. Both of you might hit hard and bring each other down to around 10 hp. Instead of eating, you may want to pull out the 2h and try to finish them off because they won’t be able to hurt you if they die. If they also take the 2h out, and they had hit you first with the scim, then you can either take the risk and let them hit you first (hoping that they don’t kill you) and then hit them, or eat instead and go back to a scim. But if you had hit first and both of you take out 2h, then you will also strike first with the 2h and possibly kill them. It’s possible to eat instantly after you strike by clicking on food right when you see the 2h animation. This is useful when you didn’t kill your opponent and they 2h you. You’ll have a better chance of surviving.

    Excellent guide, but there is just one mistake. Spell book swap is in the Lunar spell book, so you cant use ice barrage in conjunction with teleblock. You could try full voids with zamorak godsword and teleblock, though =P.

    Ty i fixed it

    Nice, thanks a lot. But Skybolt25 is actually the one who is wrong… unless there is a time restriction on spellbook swap. You can first swap, then tele-block, swap again ice barrage once, and then kill with range/melee/supreme ultimate weapon of mass destruction/fixed device/cannon (not really)/your head. Or just barrage once then use a GS. But yeah, you can do that, so you were right unless you meant to keep barraging.

    u get owned because at 58 strength u cant hit high enough to kill anyone.

    at your level, afford some membership because free players cant do sht

    do monkey madness for the ability to use a dragon scim and train attack to 70 and strength as high as you can because it’s the most useful. leave def at 60. get 43 prayer. then go pking.

    i have been member for a month but are magic or attack not useful?

    Posted November 19, 2009 at 10:16 am

    also I want to pk in non-mem only and I want to use magic or meele only

  13. Posted November 21, 2009 at 6:49 pm

    attack is very useful especially in f2p fights when you’re no arming because even at 77 attack i hit loads of 0s so the higher attack you have the more you hit. for magic its kinda useless in f2p unless ur gonna tele but that loses you ep so u dont wanna train it. its max hit in f2p is 16. only in mems u can ice barrage and stuff

  14. Posted December 10, 2009 at 1:51 am

    the scim to godsword strategy is the most fail strategy ever

  15. Posted December 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm

    You can get good EP if you go to the Dark Warrior’s FOrtress and in the last room. SO by the time a strong Pker gets close to u u can use home teleport and instead u will go to edgeville(Bouny World) It would be better to close all doors in the fortress after going to the final room (left from the first room)

    Pvp is ruined because of terms such as safer and what not. I don’t see safing in the rules

    I just would like to mention another small strategy in no arm fights; When a player is at low hp, the attacker hits once more with his scim for a fast KO that doesn’t have to be predicted by seeing their scim hit.
