Skill pure

A Skill pure, or Skiller, is a type of pure that only develops non-combat skills. Skillers keep their Combat skills at level 1, leaving their combat level at 3. This makes it challenging to gain levels, as some regions of Gielinor have high-damage dealing monsters to be wary of, and some simply require quests with combat involved.

Skill pures are recommended to equip a training bow, standard bow, standard crossbow, or a phoenix crossbow without wielding any ammo. Also, skill pures are advised to set the options to hide the attack options on both players and monsters in the options tab to hidden. This is to prevent gaining any Combat experience in the event that a monster is accidentally attacked.

This is a really challenging way to compete with the rest, and is seen among other skillers as being really rewarding!

It should be noted that the best gloves that a level 3 skiller can get is limited to Steel, as other Recipe For Disaster quests require killing monsters or getting combat experience.

Strategies
Certain non-combat skills help skill pures in Combat, specifically defending. These skills are extremely helpful and recommended to be trained. Some skill pures also have a set-up when doing quests or activities involving combat. Here's a common one that keeps the items up to three to prevent losing items.
