PK Training Arena

The PK Training Arena is a sparring ground at the Duel Arena built to teach the actual

skills of PKing - **1-ticking combos, spec timing, PID, prayer and gear switching, and

Vengeance - without risking a single item. It is not** Last Man Standing: no lobby, no fog,

no loot chests. You get a kit, you get an opponent, and you fight until you've got the tempo down.

Getting in

Head to the Duel Arena and talk to Ardan the Ripper, the battle-scarred mercenary who runs

the grounds - or use ::pktrain to teleport straight to him.

He offers you two ways to fight:

• The kit locker - the LMS-style kit editor. Start from a Dharok's or NH tribrid preset, then change absolutely anything: every worn slot and all 28 inventory slots are yours to edit from the armoury, with your spellbook and the bot's difficulty on the same screen. Save up to three custom kits to your account - they're waiting on every visit (and can be loaded from your own bank anywhere with ::kit, see below).
• Bring your own gear - spar in your own setup.

Then the bout runs just like a real duel: you're teleported into a **private copy of the

fight pit** — every trainee gets their own, so the whole server can train at once and nobody can

walk in on your lesson — with your opponent standing across from you, a 3... 2... 1... FIGHT!

countdown, then it's live. When one of you falls, you're teleported back to Ardan, healed and

ready. Talk to him for another round (same setup in one click), a new setup, or to hand the

kit back.

The rules that make it safe

• You keep nothing. A loaned kit exists only during the fight: the moment a round ends - win, lose, leave, or log out - the kit returns to Ardan automatically and you're back in your own gear. Your real inventory, equipment and spellbook are stored safely first and returned intact - a server restart can't lose them.
• Borrowed gear is sealed. While kitted you can't bank, trade, drop, stake, alchemise, or hand items to a companion - the kit can't leave the fight by any route.
• You lose nothing. The whole arena is a safe zone: dying drops no items - it just ends the round and puts you back at the trainer, ready to go again immediately.
• You still gain XP. You fight at your real levels, so every hit trains your combat stats as normal. The one exception is Magic: it's boosted and your book is set to Lunar so you can practise Vengeance at any level.

Your sparring partner

There's always someone to fight, even when the server is quiet - the trainer summons a

bot opponent matched to your kit for each round. Pick your challenge:

The bot reads your overhead prayer and switches its attack style to whatever you're not

protecting - so if you sit one prayer, it punishes you. Switching your own prayer correctly is

half the lesson.

Companions stand down while you spar - this is your lesson, not theirs. They wait outside

the pit and rejoin you the moment the round ends.

What to practise

• 1-ticking - chain your spec and combo food/karambwan in the same tick to burst damage.
• Prayer switching - flick to the bot's attack style; watch it switch off yours and re-flick.
• Gear switching (NH) - swap to the style your opponent isn't praying, mid-fight.
• Spec timing - open or finish with your spec weapon when it counts, not on cooldown.
• Vengeance - pop veng before you take a big hit and reflect it back. Learn the 30-second timing.
• PID awareness - feel out who "wins the tick" when you both attack on the same game cycle.

Start on Easy to get your switches clean, then move up. When you're done, just walk out of the

arena - the gear stays with Ardan, and whatever you learned comes with you.

Building, saving and loading kits (::kit)

The same saved kits do double duty outside the arena. Type ::kit (or ::kits) anywhere and

the kit editor appears in bank mode: pick a saved kit, build one from your bank's items, or press

Wearing to copy your current worn gear and inventory - the full setup, spellbook included -

into the editor. Tweak it however you like, then press Save to keep it in one of your three

kit slots (double-click the kit's name to rename it).

Building feels like using your bank - and you place every item exactly where you want it.

The browser shows your bank (only your bank - the search never lists items you don't own) with

real stack counts: type in the search bar to filter it live, and use the **All / Gear /

Food / Pot / Misc** tabs to browse by type.

• Click a bank item to pick it up onto your cursor, then click the exact pack slot to place it there - it stays on the cursor, so you can lay out a column of brews slot by slot. Click the paper-doll instead to wear it (two-handers and shields swap correctly, displaced pieces drop back into the pack).
• Click an item already in the pack to pick it up and **click another slot to move or swap it** - arrange your switches and supplies exactly how you fight.
• Esc or right-click drops whatever you're holding. Shift-click a bank item to quick-add it to the first free slot.
• Right-click keeps the full menus: Equip straight onto the doll (ammo equips its whole stack), Withdraw-5/10/X/All for stackables and consumables, Equip/Deposit on pack items.

Load kit re-arms you from your own bank in one click: everything you're carrying is

deposited, then the kit is withdrawn and equipped, exact slot layout and all - and it works

anywhere outside dangerous places (no wilderness, duels, or minigames; you don't need a bank

open). In a hurry? ::kit <1-3> skips the editor and loads that saved slot directly.

Bank mode never creates items: anything the kit lists that isn't in your bank is skipped and

reported, and gear you don't meet the requirements for stays in your pack instead of being worn.
