Defence

Defence

The Defence skill increases the player's melee, ranged, and magic evasion rating. Defence experience is primarily earned by using the Block Attack Style during Combat. 0.4 XP is awarded per point of damage done to enemies when using the Block Attack Style. Using a mixed attack style will award 0.2 XP per point of damage done to enemies. Using the Gold Emerald Ring will increase Defence experience earned by 10%. Raising defence to level 99 will unlock the Defence Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Defence Skillcape will increase the player's defence bonus by 19.
