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]], [[shortbow|standard bow]], [[Crossbow|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.
  +
  +
==Quests==
  +
The following [[quests]] can be completed by Skill pures as they do not reward the player with any experience points in skills that would raise the character's combat level. Some quests require [[food]] and [[rings of recoil]].

RS
Skill pure max stats

The maximum total level for a skill pure is 1600.

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.
