{{External|rs}}[[File:Skill pure max stats.png|frame|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]], [[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]].
 
 
Finishing all of these quests would require the following skill levels:

==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.
