Ultimate Guide to Runescape Hybrids
Ever Wondered why you always get owned in the wild? It’s because making a good pure and learning to PK with it takes practice and skill that this guide can teach you.
Ever wonder why every time you walk into the wilderness you get absolutely owned by people several levels lower than you? It’s because they know about pures and how to make good pures and you don’t… until now.
Definition of a Pure:
A pure is an account designed for a few, usually 2-6, specific skills all contributing to one purpose. This purpose is to kill other pures and mains (see 3 definition) in the wilderness. The reason why they only train certain skills is because it cuts down on their combat level. One skill that almost all pures cut out is defence, they find it unnecessary. They also limit prayer.
Definition of a Hybrid:
A hybrid is a pure which uses a combination of attack, strength, mage, and range to fight opponents in the wilderness. They always have 1 prayer and no more, and usually no more then 52 prayer but having more prayer doesn’t exactly take away your title of hybrid.
Definition of a Main:
A main is an account with all combat stats pretty much equal. They are usually what most people have unless they are planning on pking. An example of a main would be 40 attack 40 strenght 40 defence 35-ish hitpoints 40 range and 40 mage. The reason why these accounts are terrible for pking is because there is nothing to cut down on their combat level so compared to pures they are incredibly weak for their level. A hybrid of the same combat level as that example main could have: 40 attack 40 strenght 55 hitpoints 70 range and 70 mage.
Low Level Pure:
In my experience the best way to start out your hybrid would be in f2p as a low level mage pure. These are the stats you should be getting and the order I give you is the one I find most efficient to work in f2p if you plan on pking.
Mage: 1-13 wind strike on chickens or something, it really doesn’t matter. This only takes a few minutes.
At 13 mage you are able to fire strike so you should fire strike until level 35 magic.
Optional: At lvl 16 mage switch to wind bolt.
Cast fire strike or wind bolt on zombies in varrock sewers.
So now you are still a low level pure but there isn’t much of a point in continuing with mage because mages are no longer “ownage” at these levels because you start seeing rangers with dhide. At this point you should start getting your range up.
1-20 range: Chickens use the best bow you can with iron arrows.
20-35 range: I like to range the scorpions in the alkarid mine at this point, just stand up on the cliff outside of the mine and range them. I don’t recommend picking up your arrows. If you want a place to pick up arrows then go to cows. Once again, iron arrows and best bow.
35-45 range: I recommend training at zombies in varrock sewers, the thing is that you cant pick up arrows. If you really want to pick up arrows then try alkarid warriors but make sure to bring some food.
So know you are a low level range/mage hybrid. To be a true hybrid you will need to get melee stats also. However I do not recommend adding melee to this until you become p2p.
If you decide to be Melee/Range to start out with instead of Range/Mage then you should have around 30 attack 35 strength and 45-50 range. This kind of a pure is called a range 2h pure.
Low-level pking strategy for a Range/Mage:
You should wear robes because it is impossible to cast in dhide. Start out with a couple fire bolts when you have them at around ½-1/4 hp depending on your combat you should switch to range with the best bow and best arrows you can wield. The semi hard and fast hits should be enough to ko, an extra fire bolt as a finisher works well too.
Low-level pking strategy for a Range/2h:
You should have an adamant 2h in your inventory as well as a str potion and lobsters. When your opponent is at half health hit him 1 more time and just as your bow is being raised to fire the arrow click on your 2h and press attack on him resulting in a shot from an arrow plus a shot from a 2h. When done correctly these two hits should stack up causing a large amount of damage on an unsuspecting opponent.
Mid Level F2P Pure:
Congratulations you have gotten ready to become a mid level pure and have done some pking on the way! Now I still suggest choosing either Range/Mage or Range/Melee. Personally I think Range/Melee is slightly more effective because mage is slow and does not help much in f2p.
You should train your range level to 60 using zombies and/or hill giants.
45 Attack wont take you as long as 60 range, I highly suggest training it on monks. The reason you get 45 is so that you max more often.
50 Strength is also recommended for these levels.
If you are going to be a Range/Mage (Highly Discouraged!) then you can get 59 mage instead of 45 attack and 50 strength.
Now for those of you that say range/mage absolutely owns! It does, but not in f2p. It is possible for you to be a successful range 2her in f2p and then become a range/mager as a member. What I really recommend is stay f2p as a range 2her until 65 range 45 attack and 50 str then become p2p and get 70 range 70 mage and 50 attack. 50 attack and strength barely get you any combat levels and gmaul really owns with ice burst combo. Add a kbow to that and you have a k0.
Becoming a Member:
Its time to become a member! You should have the following stats at this point:
- Attack: 45
- Strength: 50
- Range: 60-65
- Mage: 35
- Hp: 50-55
- Prayer: 1
- Defense: 1 (AS ALWAYS!!!)
Your first goal should be to get 70 range.
After that I recommend doing waterfall quest for the attack and strength exp and because it is a desert treasure pre-requirement.
If the exp from waterfall was not enough then get the rest of the way to 50 attack.
You should buy around 8k fire strikes for 52+ mage and go to zombies or tzhaar to cast them.
At 52 mage buy 40-50 wizard mind bombs and 10k alchs to get 70 mage.
Then do Desert treasure!
High Level Pure:
By now you should have 70 range 70 mage 50 attack and 50+ str.
You should have completed desert treasure and only have 11 prayer from priest in peril.
At this point you should go to the blue dragons and you have to kill about 3k of them for 80 range, this gets you around 12m from hides and bones plus more for any other drops you get. More than enough for you to alch your way to 85 mage. So guess what you have to do now? That’s right, start alching because you have a long way to go.
I recommend doing other quests for attack exp like fight arena and getting mith RFD gloves. You should also do mm pre requirements. Then train to 60 attack and get dds and d scimitar. Raising your strength should be something you should do now also.
There is not much of a point in telling you about a maxed pure because its pretty self explanatory. But ill give you the stats for a maxed hybrid anyway.
- 99/70 attack
- 99 strength
- 1 defense
- 99 ranged
- 99 mage
- 99 hitpoints
- 52 prayer
This is around 92 combat if you have 99 attack, even less if you stop at 70, which is kind of hard because whip gives attack exp only.
PK-ing with a Hybrid:
Pking with a hybrid is different than pking with other pures because you have all 3 combat styles at your disposal. This can make a deadly combo when used right.
I will only show the strategies for pking with a mid level hybrid and a high level hybrid because there is not much variety in low level pking.
Mid Level PK-ing:
What you should wear for range/ancient/maul:
- + Gnome Hat
- + Zammy Robe top/ Ghostly
- + Black Dhide Legs/ Zammy Robe bottom/ Ghostly
- + Black Dhide Vambs/Mith Gloves
- + Climbing Boots
- + Glory/ Power ammy
- + Magic short bow 100 rune arrows/ Kbow 100 bolt racks
- + God Cape
The Strategy:
What you do is run up and start ranging your opponent if you are using magic short bow. Then you quickly run up once you get halfway to your opponent quickly burst then switch to your Gmaul and 3 hit combo him. You should do this when he is at half health because even if he eats from the burst the 3 hit will KO him.
High Level PK-ing:
What you should wear for range/mage/DDS/whip:
- + Gnome Hat
- + Zammy robe top/ Ghostly
- + Black Dhide legs/ zammy robe bottom/ Ghostly
- +Black Dhide Vambs/ Mith gloves
- + Climbing boots/ Ghostly boots
- + Fury/ Glory/ Power ammy
- + Magic short bow 100 rune arrows, Kbow 100 bolt racks
- + god cape
The Strategy:
What you do is run up and DDS your opponent once. Then you can ice barrage/blitz him and move a few steps south of him and range him. Don’t attempt using your magic short bow special to KO unless you don’t have DDS or you are 100% sure that you will get KO. To KO him run up and whip or DDS. You Barrage/Blitz every time he runs or I guess you could use barrage to KO. Lots of people have prayer at this level so smiting your opponent is recommended.
Closing:
Hope that you enjoyed my guide and maybe ill see you in the wild sometime. If you’re an absolute honor pker you might not like some of my pking methods but that’s too bad.
Liked it
poop
If you think its poop then give a reason. the only pure you have ever had was probably a level 3 pure NOOB so i wouldnt be talking buddy. If i ever see you in wild i will be sure to absolutely own you.
Wow this is such a great guide. Its really helped me alot and i hope it helps you guys too! Im making a hybrid using this guide right now. I want to get him to the mid level pure part.
you forgot to mention that u should have no life at all and be a computer nerd sitting and playing 24-7 literally
Actually i have a life, i wrote this guide for people like you or just for people that need help. See you have no life so all your doing is sitting on your computer searching for runescape guides.
is the kbow dead
i think xbow w/ dragon bolts is better
kbow is incredibly fast and crossbow with dragon bolts relies to much on luck for it to be a good ko weapon. Sure you can get them low and hit with a d bolt but you would need luck for it to hit high, if it doesnt then you have to wait again cuz your opponent probably ate until full after that.
sucky guide…
that isnt a hybrid, x bow works much better for range 2hing in p2p, and range/mage is some of the worse pking ever, they will eat about full by the time you get all your ranging stuff out, my hyrbid is lv 30, 43 range, 10 attack, 60 str, 38 hp, 1 mage 42 prayer( 4,500 exp left…LOL) well work on that, the only EFFECTIVE f2p hybrid is range/2h, dont tell anyone to use otherwise, that stuff is lame.
honestly i think funnest in high lv is melee/range cause then u like dds spec high 30+-30+ then ice barrage them and finish with d scimmy like 30+. that why they fun =D
i mean melee/mage oops
or u just ice barrage then dds spec. Then if they sti8ll not owned and they atktin u use ice then blood barrage. then d scimmi
i go with manrule just ice barrage and dds spec simple you should get ko if not just finish off with d scim blood barrage then dds spec agen
its nice that you are all sharing your comments and opinions, stupid opinions will be marked as span however if you disagree then go ahead and say so just be sure to give a reason. posting helpful comments can help people decide what kind of pure to make and it could give them helpful advice on various other topics.
i made a hybrid and he is a member
my hybrid is 94 str 75 attack 1 def 99 range 94 mage 11 pray and 99 hp (pc helps lol) so i definitely know what im talking about ok? but bounty hunter killed pking.
Please dont use my name its impressening me and thats kind of a nuby hybride and ur all kind of nuby with ur accounts no offence
panoramic pen you’r really dumb you shouldn’t range/2h range 2h plus like 10 fir blast on you is the best becasue in case a def nub (like you)comes alnog you can blast them and k0 you get full rune =P (for f2p low lvl)
I just made a pure last night.
He is lvl 14 with 23 range, 5 mage, 17 hp, 2 pray, and 11 str.
I am planning on getting 80 range, 94 mage (hopefully), 70 str, 50 attack, and 52 pray…
Good or No?
This is a pretty nice guide =D.
range/melee does own but dont u think itll be better to chuck in a fire blast? and what about a level 51 with 64 strength 40 atk 50 range 59 mage and 60hp? hits 20’s with pot and 2h it would be something like this: range range range mage mage 2h KO
10 10 5 13 8 20
thats already 66hp in 6 shots for F2p
range/2her is the best for bounty hunter!!! weaken the guy who your fighting then rapid fire with range. you’ll own. i think stats for a good range/2her are:
40 attack
70 str
1 def
1 prayer
70-75 range
32 mage
nice guide :p
pretty sweet guide!
this ok guide but i got lvl 26 23att,33str,34rang,32mage,and 33 hp and honestly i think tankers r better.
I never really go pking but I do make alot of pures but most are rubbish, this guide gave me a couple of ideas, maybe you should throw in some help with pking
range/mages are actually pretty good in F2p. IN the old wildy days, my lvl 58 range/mage got so many full runer kills…
Plus, with mage u can train without gaining any hp by cursing, i did that all the way to 70 mage, which gives you very consistent 16s as a k0 shot.
these days there are like no range/magers left, range/2h has become so popular…
I liked the combo with the range/2h hybrid although it took a bit of practice…
When I am level 40 I’m gonna start BH and pawn noobs
Great guide =Þ
Nice guide.. i got tired of my main so decided to make a hybrid.. currently its 53 range 44 hp 20 def 20 attck 34 str 25 mage and 42 cb… any good?
name says it all undypatrollx
good guide, but could use more in the pking strategy section
nice guide but shouldent people use rune c bow +d bolts and thath ownes hard
got bored of my range mage pure 99 range 94 mage 1 def 52 prayer 80 str 70 attk pretty good..? coments plz…! soo made another hybrid
10 attk 40 str 1def 1pray 40 range 40 mage 40 hp level 29 i recon the guides awesome..!
Hello! I am a nuby rs player!
yup im 33 def 47 atk 20 str 21 mage 14 range 6 prayer !! 35 hp
my pure (qlz qlz qlz) is 40 atk 51 str 55 range 60 mage 54 hp 9 pray 1 def 44 cb… good?
This guide sucks! The best pure is the melee/mage. In f2p you can have 70 str, 70 mage, 40 att, 31 prayer, and 60 hp and be under level 55 for low level bounty hunting. The mage isn’t even needed in f2p, except for defense noobs and binding. Regardless you can easily k0 your stupid mage/range hybrid because you max a 16 with fire blast, whereas this pure can hit a 23 with a 2h after prayer and pot. The mage is extremely helpful after you get into p2p and start using ancients and dds.
No offense this is a bad guide u cant drop trade this days so u need to pick up your arrows but other then that good guide
Not a bad guide but it could do with improving besides practically everyone knows how to make a pure any way why havent u included range/melee hitting 20’s at lvl 45 with r2h is scary
I touch children
wtf i idnt just ge to the point i kno were to train tell me the lvls i neeed first second
nice guide man keep up the effort this really helped me with my hybrid, plus all who say this is a bad guide then dont read it or at least say why. Dont just say wow this is a bad guide cuz i bet all who dont give details on why its bad are lvl 3 enough said.

Guys all of you shut up so what the guide is crappy who cares i dont even pk anymore cos my acc is a noob
I dont why you think you should get melee up only for p2p.If you get melee up then you can get range 2h your opponent.and they wouldn’t see your 2h come out.
hailllllo boiyzzz im sought of gay j remember snuf it j just snuff it j oh yai j
u should add mage/str
well im real zezima and this sucks
This Guide Is Good and Bad first u cant pk u can but it sucks…no more wildy…pvp worlds killed game and bh is ok but not as good as wildy!
i r the real gatis/soz owned and ya and r a failed hrbrid so tanks 2 dis gyd i r a gud hrbrid
The fire blast right before ko with 2h in f2p won’t really work well, because it takes longer to cast and attack again than it does to eat. if you hit a 16 and they had 17 hp, they’d eat and end up with 13. then before you could hit again they’d eat another lob and have 25 hp. so whatever you do next you have to hit a 25 or higher to ko.
