PvP is a huge part of Runescape and is played competitively in PvP worlds. Some of these are PvP worlds while others are just the wilderness called Bounty Hunter worlds
Q: Why do people get 45 defense? Why not just 40? Would I get 45 defense for my F2P pker?
A: 45 Defense allows people to wear rune berserker shields, berserker helms and void robes. These give huge offensive bonuses to benefit the player.
Q: When\why should I get prayer?
A: This depends on your style of attack. As a rule of thumb follow these guidelines:
-Pure mages rarely benefit from prayer
-Pure archers should consider getting 26 prayer if using an expensive piece of equipment, it allows it to be protected with Protect Item and gain 10% range bonus with Eagle Eye
-Strength pures should consider getting 31 prayer at around 60-70 strength
Q: What prayer level should I get?
A: I'd recommend either
-26: Gives Protect Item and Hawk Eye
-31: Gives Protect Item and Superhuman strength
-34: Gives Incredible Reflexes which can be used against tanks
-43: Gives all the Protects which can be used to stop pile jumpers
-44: Gives Eagle Eye
-60/70: Gives access to Chivalry/Piety, these require Kings Ransom and as this gives defense exp should only be used on berserker pures
Q: Why don't pures defense?
A: Defense adds extra combat levels; by not getting defense you have the advantage over other players as you have higher strength/range/magic levels which heightens your offensive output.
Q: Why should I get 20 defense?
A: 20 defense gives many advantages; you can wield the prayer armour intiate, mystic robes and the slayer helm.
Q: What attack level should I get in f2p?
A: 40 attack allows you to wield rune, however corrupt dragon can be used at 60 attack and this allows you to hit the highest f2p hit, 37.
Q: What attack level should I get in P2P?
A: In p2p the recommended levels are 50/60/70/78 these enable you to wield:
The infamous Granite Maul
Dragon weapons
The Saradomin Sword and the Abbysal Whip
Vestas longsword and Statius warhammer
Q: How does protect item work?
A: Protect item enables you to keep the highest value item according to alchemy values. This means expensive weapons like the Abbysal Whip will not be protected compared to Dragon Longswords
Q: Is there anything that can help me plan my pure and to know what combat level he is once I am done with what I have planned?
A: The Zybez Combat Calculator
Q: At what level should I use a certain type of pure?
A: All pures can win at fights but the following pures are recommended:
Low levels: 20-35 Mage pures own the combat triangle in f2p while in members Obby maulers are very powerful
Middle levels: 35-60 Range pures are very powerful while granite maulers also pack a punch. Obby maulers still hold there own but against granite maulers can get outhit
Higher Levels: 60-80 Strength pures start to shine here however range tanks begin to develop good hits at this point
Maxed Levels: Once you have maxed combat, tribriding using all 3 combat forms to devastating effects
Q: What does "pj" mean?
A: Pjing means Pile Jumping, this is when you attack someone who has just finished a fight.
Q: What is tagging?
A: Tagging is fighting with a partner in a single combat zone
Q: Where are good areas to pk in BH and Pvp Worlds?
A: In BH outside edge Ville is good for one on ones; however the volcano bank and Fist of Guthix bank are popular
In PvP the Ge is very popular, Ardouge is very popular for mageing and Falador is very popular for 1 iteming
Q: What is "Safing"?
A: Safing is when you eat at health where you opponent can't pk. However more often it is an excuse for your opponent not killing you.
Q: I need some inspiration...Where can I find some?

Q: What is 'barraging'?
A: Barraging is using the barrage spells in the ancient magic’s spellbook.
Q: How do I get a target in BH?
A: To get a target in BH simple stand in a dangerous area on a BH world. After 30 minutes you can get a target, after 1 hour your chance increases. The lighter the red box is in the top right corner the more likely a target is
Q: How do I gain Drop Potential?
A: To get drop potential simply risk 25k in an f2p world or 75k on a members world. To see if you are risking check the items on death screen
You can also get potential by dieing with 25k risked on you
Q: What is 26king?
A: 26king is killing other people with 26k on trying to get good drops. This is used to get drops after gathering potential without the danger of pking.
Q: Do I lose potential when I die?
A: No, you gain potential
Q: Does my drop potential reset when entering a save zone?
A: No
Q: Does it reset when logging out?
A: No
Q: How long does it take to get a decent drop potential?
A: Theres no way of knowing, but most people reccomend at least 2 hours to make 3 kills worthwhile, mroe if it was not generated in a hotzone
Q: Can I put on protect item just before I die to protect an item worth 80k and still get potential for the time I spend with protect item off?
A: Yes, but please protect it if you get attacked. However you need to be able to reskull every 20 minutes so this isn't reccomended, easier to carry 75k risk in small items or junk and just teleport.
Q: What is honour or no-honour pking?
A: This is a tricky subject, honour pking is usually pking without a teleport or means of escape. If someone asks you to "Dm" or Deathmatch it means that niether of you will be allowed to run. However it is reccomended to only do these with friends as not all the community is honourable.
The following things are considered "dis-honounorable":
-Pile Jumping, attack someone halfway through a fight or jsut as they finish a fight
-Rushing, not giving people tiem to prepare for a fight
-Luring, luring people into deeper or multiway parts of the wilderness to be killed
-Safing, eating at higher health to stop being pked
However, all these tatics help you win. So its your choice.
