Melee combat guide prep

Introduction

Most players start combat with

Melee

as it does not require the overhead of

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Fletching

Ammunition for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Ranged

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Runecrafting

Runes for

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Magic

.

  • Melee Armour can be upgraded () twice from the Bank by using the Upgrade button, once with Silver Bars and the second time with Gold Bars.
    • The first Upgrade provides some boosts to the Strength and Melee Defence bonuses on the Item.
    • The second Upgrade provides Damage Reduction as well as some further increases to the Strength and Melee Defence bonuses on the Item. (There is no Damage Reduction for Bronze Equipment or Iron Equipment).
      • Damage Reduction is very important. It allows you to take less damage per hit taken. Allowing you to fight stronger enemies and use less food in the process.
    • Typically, upgrading armor isn't really worth the extra time spent until at least Mithril Armour.


Obtaining Melee Gear has 2 options:

  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Smithing
    has all Gear Sets up to Level 60 Combat Levels. This also requires
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Mining
    to be leveled.
    • Requires up to
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Smithing
      Level 99 and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mining
      Level 95.
    • This includes the Dragon Equipment Tier which is not easily obtainable from Combat but can be skipped.
  • From Combat.
    • Requires up to
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Smithing
      Level 40 and
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Mining
      Level 40.
      • Silver Bar and Gold Bar can also be obtained from Combat from Statue but this is discouraged as the drop rate is rather low.
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Castle of Kings
      has Steel Knight, Mithril Knight, Adamant Knight and Rune Knight which all drop their respective Armour Sets and Weapons.
      • The Black Knight is generally skipped due to the low drop rate on its items as well as the Armour Tier being easily skipped.
    • It is generally advised to fight these Knights with
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Magic
      due to Combat Triangle benefits.


Melee leveling is split across 3 different skills,

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

,
