Pking Combat Triangle
The premise behind a combat triangle is that there are three classes of fighters in Runescape; warriors, mages, and rangers. This combat triangle has a big influence on Runescape pking. If you are a pking as a warrior you find that when fighting a mage that they will hit you very hard and very often, because in this Runescape pking combat triangle they have the advantage over the warriors. Warriors are slow and cumbersome with all their armor where as mages are light because they essentially only need robes and runes. This gives them quite a weight advantage and thus they can run for quite awhile longer, and seeing mages can range from distance this means that they can essentially run far away enough from warriors that they can mage them without getting into a melee fight, and therefore not take any damage during the fight.
Of course whilst mages may be stronger against warriors they cannot use their same advantages against rangers. Rangers usually wear dragonhide armor which gives good protection against mage’s spells and they also aren’t quite as heavy as a warriors armor so they can run for quite a bit longer which reduces the mage’s light weight advantage, and on top of all this they are also able to fight from distances which means that essentially the mage can’t get in a position where there can deal damage without the damage being dealt to them as well. So rangers have a distinct advantage over mages in the Runescape pking, combat triangle.
hen the final side of this triangle is warriors against rangers. Warriors have heavy armor and a ranger’s arrows generally are not very effective against such armor whereas on the other hand rangers have armor that is lighter weight and whilst effective against mages is not good armor to be wearing against well equipped warriors with good weapons. So Runescape pking warriors deal greats amounts of damage rangers and they hit frequently.

Runescape Pking Clans or Teams
Runescape Pking can be done solo but what is far more popular is doing it as a team or with a Runescape Pking Clan. Basically this is where a group of people get together to go Pking rather than going Pking by oneself. There are many benefits to this; the biggest being that there is safety in numbers. The Runescape wilderness is quite a dangerous place and running around by oneself can lead to being killed very quickly if you are wondering in the wrong areas. There are certain areas on the wilderness that are called multi zones where more than one person can attack you at a time, and if you are walking around the wilderness by yourself and a pack of 5 people start attacking you all at once chances are you are going to struggle to survive even if you are a higher level than them (assuming of course that they are reasonably high level players). So obviously there is also the benefit of being in a group when you are in the multi zone as well because you can gang up on individual players and bring them down quite quickly.
Pking in Runescape Teams
It is also worthwhile having a good mixture of fighting styles within the group as well. So if you are going out into the wild with 8 or 9 players it is good to take 2 or so mages and 2 or so rangers. It also helps a lot if everyone has somewhat an idea of how engaging an enemy will proceed, because efficient teams are extremely effective in the wild, and building a tight team that you can trust and rely on goes a long way to becoming successful in the wilderness and at Runescape pking.
I hope you have enjoyed this brief little Runescape Pking guide, best of luck in the wild.

The Runescape Pking
One of the most interesting and possibly the best aspect of Runescape’s game play is its wilderness section and Runescape Pking. So what is Runescape Pking? Well Pking stands for Player Killing. So basically it’s where you enter the Runescape wilderness and attempt to kill other Runescape players. This of course is much more interesting that killing the regular NPC monsters of Runescape because you are fighting a living, thinking and creative person on the other side.
Runescape Pking Tips – Wilderness Basics
So are there any pking tips one should know before they go pking? Well I guess the obvious thing to mention is the stronger you are the harder you are to kill and therefore it is in your interests to be as strong as you can when you are looking to fight in the wilderness. Does this mean that you need to be level 126 before you enter the wilderness? Of course not. There are players of all level wondering around the wilderness, and one of the interesting things about the wilderness and Runescape pking is that not just anyone can attack anyone in the wilderness.
Basically the wilderness is divided up in to levels, in free to play it’s levels 1 through to 50, and for each levels of wilderness people that can attack you and that you can attack must be within that level of wilderness of your combat level. So if a level 70 player was in level 14 wilderness they could attack or be attacked by any player that had a combat from 56 through to 84. Obviously the deeper you go the greater the range of players you can attack or be attacked by, this is something that should definitely be weighed up before traveling too deep into the wilderness.

Best Weapons
What people perceive to be the “best Runescape weapons” largely comes down to personal preference and also depends on how much you play Runescape training your combat and what sort of stats your characters has which can vary greatly from player to player. More attacks and weapons can be used the higher your level in a particular combat skill. Let’s start with melee:
Runescape Melee Weapons
First time fighters will have level one attack. This is the only skill required for wielding weapons, but people try to raise their strength, or they will only hit low amounts of damage. At level one attack you can wield only bronze and iron weapons. Both are very inexpensive, but at the same time are not very good weapons.
At level five attack, you will find you can now wield some stronger steel weapons. These are still quite inexpensive.
At level 10 attack, the black weapons are opened up to you. These are the first of two metal weapons (and the only free member weapon) that can’t be made using the smithing skill. While inexpensive, they are harder to find as few stores sell black items.
At level 20 you can use the mithril (also known as “mith”) weapons! These are sometimes the last type of weapon in a store, but some won’t stop here. Still not expensive, but they are not cheap either for beginning players.
At level 30 you can use adamant (also know as “addy”) swords and the like. Addy weapons are more expensive for some players and are the last free member (F2P) weapons sold in normal stores.
Once you have reach level 40 attack and can use the best Runescape free to play weapons - Rune! Rune weapons are quite expensive and there is only one shop that sells them in free member, the champions guild which is south-west of Varrock. They can also be bought from other players and be smithed by high level smithers.
The best weapon in Runescape for free members is Rune scimitars (also known as “scimmys”). These scimitars are fast and accurate yet still relatively powerful. Some people also prefer two-handers (aka “2h”) – this weapon that cannot be used with a shield as they require two hand to wield so they leave you slightly more prone to damage and they are fairly inaccurate yet they make up for all this by packing a big punch. Other people often like to opt for the battle axe (also know as a “baxe”). These weapons are stronger but slower than the scimitar, yet and are faster but weaker than the two-hander. They can also be used with a shield.

Range Weapons
Range is the simplest combat form, the least expensive, and the fastest and most accurate. All you need is a bow and arrows and it requires two hands. At different levels of range you can use different bows and arrows. There are long bows and short bows. Short bows are preferred as they are faster and more lightweight while the longbow can shoot farther distances. There are also crossbows and their bolts which I will go over later.
At level one range you can use a normal short or long bow and bronze or iron arrows.
At level 5 range you can use oak bows and steel arrows.
At level 20 range you can use willow bows and mithril arrows.
At level 30 you can use maple bows and adamant arrows. These are the highest range weapons you can use as a free member.
For level 40 range you are allowed to use yew bows and rune arrows.
At 50 range you can use magic bows and any arrows.
An alternative to wooden bows and arrows, you can use crossbows and bolts. Their advantage is being one handed, meaning you can use a shield. The disadvantage is being slower, heavier, and harder to make. Free members can only use two crossbows, the regular crossbow and the phoenix crossbow, both requiring level one range and only being able to use bronze bolts. Bolts can also be fitted with gem tips.Paying members (P2P) can use bronze crossbows at level one. From there:
Blurite crossbows and bolts can be used at level 16 range.
At 26 range, iron crossbows and bolts can be used.
The Dorgeshuun crossbow requires 28 range and can use bone and iron bolts with out gem tips.
At 31 range, the steel crossbow and bolts can be acquired.
Mithril crossbows and bolts are used at level 36 range.
Once 46 range, a ranger can use adamant crossbows and arrows.
Finally, the rune crossbow and bolts can be used once level 61 range.
Most rangers use the best bow they can use at their range level. The arrows they use depend on how much money they want to spend buying or making them. Most people training prefer iron and steel arrows, but while “player-killing” (also known as Runescape Pking), most rangers will use the best arrows they can.

Weapons Guide
There are many skills and over one hundred quests you can do in Runescape - you can make many new friends and have Runescape adventures with your friends. This guide talks about one of the most important features of the game: Runescape combat and its weapons.
Basics of Runescape Combat
First off, there are three main types of combat; Melee, Magic, and Range (archery to some). Some people prefer only one of these skills while others prefer to train up two or all three of the skills. These three types of combat have their own advantages and disadvantages that are represented in the Runescape combat triangle.
The combat triangle is the situation where melee has good defense and offense against Range because arrows easily bounce off that hard, bulky metal and swords can easily cut through soft durable leather. Rangers will have the upper-hand again mages users because arrows can easily pierce those thin robes and magic is deflected against leather and dragon-hide. Magic users (commonly known as mages) will normally be seen trying to fight a warrior because magic can be shot from longer distances than arrows and the armor has a very weak magic defense and is much heavier than the light robes that mages where allowing them to run for longer. All types of combat also have their own styles to use for accurate, aggressive, or defensive measures.
