OSRS 60 Attack Pure Guide for PvP Domination

Building a 60 Attack Pure in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a thrilling journey for players aiming to dominate in player-versus-player (PvP) combat. This guide walks you through creating a powerful 60 Attack Pure, optimized for low combat levels and high damage output. With a focus on quests, training methods, gear, and strategies, you’ll be ready to take on the Wilderness with confidence.
A 60 Attack Pure is a specialized account build that prioritizes offensive stats while keeping Defence at level 1 to maintain a low combat level. This allows you to deal significant damage to opponents in similar combat brackets, making it ideal for PvP in the Wilderness or PvP worlds.
Benefits of a 60 Attack Pure
- Low Combat Level: Staying at 1 Defence keeps your combat level between 50–90, giving you an edge over higher-Defence opponents.
- Access to Dragon Weapons: 60 Attack unlocks powerful weapons like the Dragon Scimitar and Dragon Dagger, perfect for quick knockouts.
- Versatility: Combine melee with high Ranged or Magic for hybrid builds, increasing your PvP effectiveness.
Challenges to Consider
While powerful, 60 Attack Pures are glass cannons. Their low Defence makes them vulnerable to high-damage attacks, requiring careful planning and frequent banking during training. Questing strategically is also crucial to avoid unwanted Defence experience.
Questing for Efficient Attack Experience
Questing is the fastest way to reach 60 Attack without gaining Defence experience. Completing specific quests grants substantial Attack XP, allowing you to hit level 45 Attack before manual training. Below is a list of recommended quests for a 60 Attack Pure.
Key Quests for Attack XP
Quest | Attack XP Reward | Other Requirements |
---|---|---|
Vampire Slayer | 4,825 | None |
Tree Gnome Village | 11,450 | None |
Fight Arena | 12,175 | Combat readiness |
The Grand Tree | 18,400 | 25 Agility |
Waterfall Quest | 13,750 | 30 Strength (shared) |
Total Attack XP: 60,600 (approximately level 45 Attack from level 1). These quests are safe for 1 Defence Pures, as they award no Defence XP. Complete them in any order, but prioritize Waterfall Quest for its dual Attack and Strength XP.
Additional Useful Quests
- Lost City: Unlocks Dragon Dagger and Dragon Longsword (31 Crafting, 36 Woodcutting).
- Rock Crabs (Rellekka): Low max hit, high HP, and AFK-friendly. Expect 20,000–30,000 XP per hour.
- Sand Crabs (Hosidius): Similar to Rock Crabs, located on southern coasts. Ideal for members after 70 Cooking.
- Ammonite Crabs (Fossil Island): Accessible after Bone Voyage, offering high HP and low damage.
- Hill/Moss Giants: Near banks (e.g., Varrock or Edgeville), but require frequent food restocks due to higher damage.
- Ranged: Train on Sand Crabs with a Magic Shortbow or at the Nightmare Zone (NMZ) with custom rumble mode for 40,000–50,000 XP per hour.
- Magic: Use high-alchemy or teleports to train safely, or splash spells on low-level monsters like cows. Aim for 94 Magic to unlock Vengeance.
- Prayer: 31 (Protect Item, Ultimate Strength), 43 (Protection Prayers), or 52 (Smite for high-level PKing).
- Hitpoints: Let it level naturally through combat (typically 60–80) or train intentionally at NMZ for higher survivability.
- Food: 16–20 Sharks or Karambwans for quick healing.
- Potions: Super Strength, Super Attack, and Ranging potions for stat boosts.
- Weapons: Dragon Dagger for special attacks, Magic Shortbow for Ranged switches.
- Runes: For Vengeance (94 Magic) or teleports.
- Ranged to Melee Combo: Start with Magic Shortbow special attacks, then switch to Dragon Dagger for a quick knockout.
- Vengeance Timing: Cast Vengeance (94 Magic) just before an opponent’s high-damage hit to reflect damage.
- Prayer Switching: Use Protection Prayers (43 Prayer) to mitigate damage from specific combat styles.
- Edgeville Wilderness: Ideal for 1v1 fights at low combat levels.
- PvP Worlds: High-traffic areas like Lumbridge or Varrock for quick matches.
- Deep Wilderness: Riskier but offers higher rewards for skilled PKers.
- Practice Switching: Use hotkeys for quick gear and prayer switches.
- Scout Opponents: Target players with similar combat levels to avoid being outmatched.
- Manage Risk: Keep expensive items like Fire Cape protected or banked when learning.
Tip: Use the RuneLite “Attack Styles” plugin to hide defensive attack options, ensuring no accidental Defence XP during questing.
Training to 60 Attack and Beyond
After questing, you’ll need to train from level 45 to 60 Attack manually. Additionally, boosting Strength, Ranged, and Magic enhances your PvP potential. Here’s how to train efficiently while keeping Defence at 1.
Melee Training Methods
Due to low Defence, training melee requires safe spots or high-hitpoint monsters with low damage. Recommended spots include:
Strategy: Use a Rune Scimitar or the best affordable weapon with Strength potions to maximize XP rates. Train Attack to 60 before focusing on Strength to 80–99 for maximum damage.
Ranged and Magic Training
For hybrid builds, train Ranged and Magic to complement melee. Aim for 92 Ranged/Magic (0.66x your Attack + Strength level, e.g., 60 Attack + 80 Strength = 140 x 0.66). Suggested methods:
Prayer and Hitpoints
Prayer and Hitpoints are critical for PvP. Recommended levels:
Gear and Inventory Setup
Choosing the right gear is crucial for a 60 Attack Pure, as it maximizes damage while compensating for low Defence. Below is a recommended setup for PvP.
Best-in-Slot Gear
Slot | Item | Notes |
---|---|---|
Head | Bearhead or Mithril Med Helm | Bearhead from Mountain Daughter; no Defence requirement. |
Cape | Fire Cape or God Cape | Fire Cape for melee; God Cape for Magic bonus. |
Neck | Salve Amulet (e) | Boosts damage against undead; requires Haunted Mine. |
Body | Black D’hide Body | High Magic Defence for hybrid fights. |
Legs | Black D’hide Chaps | Complements body for Magic Defence. |

Inventory Setup
Your inventory should balance food, potions, and special attack weapons for PvP:
