What is a “Pure” account?

A “pure” is a specialized account build specifically designed for Player vs. Player (PvP) combat. By keeping their Defence level at 1, pures artificially keep their combat level very low while maximizing their offensive stats (Strength, Ranged, or Magic). This allows them to hit incredibly hard against other players of the same low combat level.

Why does Prayer only give half points?

According to the underlying base formula, your Prayer level is divided by 2 (and rounded down) before being factored into your base defense. This means it generally takes 8 Prayer levels to increase your final combat level by exactly 1 point, compared to taking only 4 levels in Defence or Hitpoints.

How many levels do I need for my next Combat Level?

A general rule of thumb is that 4 levels in Attack, Strength, Hitpoints, or Defence will raise your combat level by 1. For Ranged or Magic, it takes about 3 levels (assuming they are your primary combat style). Prayer requires exactly 8 levels to guarantee a combat level up.

What is the maximum combat level in OSRS?

The maximum combat level in Old School RuneScape is 126. This is achieved by reaching level 99 in Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Ranged, Magic, and Prayer.

Why do some players keep their combat level low?

Players known as ‘pures’ intentionally keep their Defence or Prayer levels low to maintain a low overall combat level while maximizing their damage output. This gives them a significant advantage in PvP combat against standard accounts of the same level.

Does Magic or Ranged affect my combat level if I am a Melee build?

Only if your Magic or Ranged contribution surpasses your Melee contribution. The combat formula only takes the highest offensive stat combination (Melee, Ranged, or Magic) into account when calculating your final level.
