Combat
From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
For the rating of a player's combat abilities, see combat level.
Combat is an event in RuneScape in which two or more characters and/or monsters or NPCs fight, usually until one involved of party is dead. Combat in any form requires the application of at least two skills; one of these is a combatant's hitpoint skill. The number of hitpoints a combatant has determines how much physical damage they can take and have taken already. It is possible to restore hitpoints by eating food. See the contents of the combat category for articles on combat.
The second of the skills that are used in combat varies dependent on attack styles.
- In melee combat, Attack, Strength and Defence all are skills that are used in combat.
- For rangers, only a player's Ranged and Defence level will be used.
- Mages will use their Magic and Defence skill.
- Evokers rely on Summoning and Defence.
The maximum Combat Level attainable is 126 in F2P and 138 in P2P
Combat training areas are identified on the map with the combat training icon ( 
), but combat training is only allowed to players with an Attack, Strength, or Defence level less than nine, depending on what is being trained. Also, these training dummies will only provide experience in the Attack, Strength, and Defence skill. Other combat related skills must be trained by fighting actual monsters.
The combat level depends on one's Attack, Defence, Strength, Summoning, Prayer, Magic, Ranged and Hitpoints level. Combat levels gained due to a players summoning level do not apply in F2P worlds.
