Combat involves fighting various monsters throughout the combat areas, slayer areas, and dungeons of Melvor. Food and Equipment cannot be changed while in a dungeon unless an upgrade has been purchased from the shop.

Combat stats—viewable from the combat page—are affected by the player's combat skills and any Equipment worn. The combat skills are Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Ranged, Magic, Prayer, and Slayer. These skills are factored in when calculating the player's combat level, which is an approximation of the player's power. Players start at combat level 3 and can reach a maximum of combat level 126, while monsters range from combat level 1 to 815. The player's combat level affects the difficulty of monsters given in Slayer Tasks.

Combat Info

Max Hit shows the maximum potential damage a successful attack can do. The Max Hit displayed for players and enemies does not factor in damage reduction.
Chance to Hit shows the player's percent chance to hit the enemy with their attack.
Accuracy Rating affects the likelihood an attack will be successful during combat. The player's Accuracy Rating is compared to the enemy's Evasion Rating when calculating the chance an attack will succeed.
Dmg Reduction reduces any damage received by the percent shown.
Evasion Rating affects the likelihood an attack will be avoided during combat. There are three types of Evasion Rating; Melee, Ranged, and Magic. The Attack Type being defended against affects which Evasion Rating will be used. The enemy's Accuracy Rating is compared to the player's Evasion Rating when calculating the chance an attack will be avoided.
Prayer Points are gained by burying bones and are used to activate prayers during combat.
Active Prayers provide bonuses to the player during combat and use Prayer Points to remain active. Up to two prayers can be active simultaneously, so long as the required Prayer Points are available.

Basic Combat

To fight monsters navigate to the combat page by selecting any combat skill from the left menu. The combat page contains three tabs containing the locations where monsters can be fought, above a section for equipment and combat stats. Browse combat areas, slayer areas, or dungeons to reveal a menu containing all the relevant locations. Selecting a location will display the enemies which can be found there, along with their Hitpoints, Combat Level, and Attack Type. Selecting "Fight" will begin combat. Combat will continue until the player runs, dies, or defeats the dungeon. Enemies are fought automatically. Combat skills can not be trained in offline mode.

Combat skills are leveled by damaging enemies with weapons, and magic. To train a specific combat skill match the Attack Style icon with the relevant combat skill. The available Attack Styles will change depending on the type of weapon equipped. Most combat skills have a passive effect even when the relevant style is not selected. Weapons, armour, and food can be equipped for use by selecting them in the Bank. Weapons and armour provide bonuses and penalties to combat stats, while food can be used for healing in combat.

After each kill, it will take 3 seconds for the next monster to spawn.

Loot and Rewards

- See also Thieving#Loot

All monsters killed in combat and slayer areas will drop bones upon death, with a chance for additional loot based on the monster's type. The "Drops" option will display the possible loot drops a monster can give.

Any items enemies drop upon death must be looted manually by selecting "Loot All" or the item itself, unless the Amulet of Looting is equipped. If there are more than 16 stacks of loot, the oldest drop disappears. Bones stack and do not time out like other drops. Other drops do not stack even if they are of the same type.

Monsters fought in dungeons will not drop loot when killed (except for God Dungeons, where shards are rewarded after each killed monster) and do not count towards Slayer Tasks. When the last monster in a dungeon is killed the player will be awarded with a reward, which is sent to the Bank automatically.

Special Attacks

Special attacks can be used in combat to gain a slight advantage over the monster being fought. Equipping a weapon with a special attack will give your attacks a chance to perform a special attack. Only a select few high level weapons have special attacks. Several monsters can use special attacks against the player, including Malcs, the Guardian of Melvor and Prat, the Protector of Secrets from the Volcanic Cave, and all of the monsters from the four god dungeons. The attack bar will change to yellow when a special attack is being used.

Special Attacks cannot be used alongside Ancient Magicks.
