| The only obstacle on this tier with any benefit to combat.

! rowspan="2"| 4

| The only obstacle on this tier with a net-positive benefit to combat.

|-

| These obstacles are decent in the Early Game for squeezing out a little bit of extra power when your HP and Damage Reduction don't really matter.  

|-  

! rowspan="2"| 5

| Use this typically any time when doing slayer, but be aware of the negative modifier and pick and choose when to run this.

|-

| Can be used as the default combat obstacle, the {{Skill|Prayer}} point increase is really not as bad as it sounds.

|-  

! rowspan="2"| 6

| This obstacle is '''extremely powerful''' in the early game, and is always viable for Combat. This obstacle can single-handedly let you do Dungeons much earlier than normal.

|-

| Damage reduction is great, so is doing more damage and preserving {{Skill|Prayer}} points! In the later stages of the game, this obstacle is typically more useful than Rocky Waters, but will rarely, if ever, provide more survivability.

|-

|-

! rowspan=3 | 8

| Used for {{Skill|Slayer}}.

|-

| More well rounded, and can help making damage reduction breakpoints. This obstacle can safely be the default.

|-

| Used for completing Dungeons.

|-

! rowspan=5 | 9

| Primarily used for killing weak enemies as quickly as possible, particularly when the enemy dies in one or two hits. The negative modifiers make this unappealing for any other use

|-

|-

| The most well rounded for all Skills including, and can be used as the default.

|-

| Competes with a bunch of heavy hitters, there should be no reason to use this instead of the other options.

|-

| The most well rounded for combat, not as useful for non-combat and can be used as the default.

|-

! rowspan=3 | 10

| Well rounded and often best for non-combat skills, this can be used as the default.

|-

| Primarily used for killing weak enemies as quickly as possible, particularly when the enemy dies in one or two hits.

|-

| Always useful for combat, not as useful for non-combat and should generally only be used if you really need extra Damage or {{Skill|Slayer|Slayer Coins}}.

* {{Skill|Hitpoints}} can alleviate pain points in progression and allow the player to accomplish more difficult challenges without needing to make as many equipment tradeoffs.

* {{Skill|Prayer}} is likely to be one of the players highest level skills even relatively early on, allowing them to use the extremely powerful {{PrayerIcon|Battleborn}} and {{PrayerIcon|Valor|notext=true}}{{PrayerIcon|Avidity|notext=true}}{{PrayerIcon|Divination|notext=true}} the 100+ Max Hit Prayers.

<div class="warningbox">All Combat equipment (ie. {{ItemIcon|Corundum Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Corundum Sword|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Smithing}}, {{ItemIcon|Revenant Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Revenant Shortbow|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Crafting}}, and {{ItemIcon|Lightning Mythical Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Lightning Staff|notext=true}} from {{Skill|Runecrafting}}) ''CANNOT BE EQUIPPED'' until the defeat of {{MonsterIcon|Bane, Instrument of Fear}}.</div>

* {{ItemIcon|Necromancers Crown}} from {{SkillReq|Thieving|102}} automatically doubles all {{ItemIcon|Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Big Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Magic Bones|notext=true}} Bones, as well as {{ItemIcon|Holy Dust}} and {{ItemIcon|Air Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Earth Shard|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Fire Shard|notext=true}} Shards dropped by monsters in the God Dungeons.

* The majority of {{Skill|Herblore}} Potions can be created and used without any progression into {{TotH}} Combat.

* {{ItemIcon|Siren}} and {{ItemIcon|Fox}} can be created in {{Skill|Summoning}}.

* The {{Skill|Astrology}} Constellation {{ConstellationIcon|Ashtar}}.  

|-

!rowspan=4| 11

| A great all-rounder with the primary bonus of additional Damage Reduction.

|-

| Global doubling is fantastic for monsters that die very quickly.

|-

| Fantastic for {{Skill|Slayer}} if Area Effect Negation is required or the player is specifically hunting {{SC|SC}}

|-

| Fantastic for killing enemies of all kinds, can be detrimental to how fast the player can collect items due to its high negative doubling.

|-

! 12

| More damage and a faster [[Attack Interval]] making the player deal even more damage and possibly able to avoid dangerous [[Stun]], [[Freeze]] or [[Sleep]] effects.

|-

!rowspan=2| 13

| Particularly useful for the earlier stages of Expansion Combat where the player can be hampered by the dps requirement of dungeon bosses.

|-

| Great for general use.

|-

!rowspan=2|14

| Great for Expansion dungeons, deal more damage, take damage slightly less often!

|-

| Great for {{Skill|Slayer}}, adding more damage and Area Effect Negation.

|-

!rowspan=2|15

| This grants the effect of {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV}} for an generally inconsequential penalty of {{Skill|Hitpoints}}.

|-

| This should be the player's absolute last line of defence for survivability, and should never be considered unless absolutely necessary.

|-

! rowspan=2| EP

| The default pillar for nearly all of the Expansion - immensely powerful buffs for all skills, Global Doubling being very powerful in combat particularly.

|-

| This Pillar is only recommended if {{Skill|Slayer}} Area Effect Negation is 'required', its effects are rather lackluster otherwise.

* {{ItemIcon|Melee Strength Potion IV|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Magic Damage Potion IV|notext=true}} Max Hit potions can be a solid and reliable source of increased damage.
