What many people consider the most important skill on Runescape is your combat. This shows how strong your character is, and the type of monsters you can kill. The three types of combat skills are: Attack, Strength, and Defense. In this article, I will talk about the importance of all three.
First, the attack skill. This skill should be trained first, as it allows you to use the different types of weaponry. At level one, you can use only bronze and iron weapons, but as you progress, you can use up to runite on nonmembers, or granite, dragon, and barrows weapons on members worlds. The levels are as follows:
- Bronze- level 1
- Iron- level 1
- Steel- level 5
- Black- level 10
- Mithril- level 20
- Adamant- level 30
- Runite- level 40
- Dragon- level 60
Attack also determines how often you hit and how accurate you are.
Strength is the next skill you should train. Strength determines the amount of damage you can inflict on an opponent, be it a monster or a Pker. It also allows you to use halberds, which are very powerful weapons with strong special attacks. Strength is a Pker's most important skill.
Lastly, defense. This is the skill that allows you to use certain armor. This skill is incredibly useful to everyone but pure accounts. This allows you to use armor that is more resistant to attacks. This means less damage to your character and a less chance of dying. The levels of armors are as follows:
- Bronze- level 1
- Iron- level 1
- Steel- level 5
- Black- level 10
- Mithril- level 20
- Adamant- level 30
- Runite- level 40
- Dragon- level 60
- Elf Crystal- level 70
