Strength Skill Guide

Introduction

Strength is a skill that determines a player's power when engaged in melee combat. Raising your Strength level will result in the possibility of dealing additional damage against opponents. A higher Strength level will raise your max hit. For this reason, a high Strength level is desired by PKers and PvMers alike.

Training Strength

The best method of training Strength is to use an aggressive attack style. Using an aggressive attack style players will allow you to receive more Strength XP than you would if using a controlled attack styles. Furthermore, it will also receive a marginal Strength bonus which will increase your chances of hitting higher.

Training Locations

As with other combat skills, Strength can be trained at the 'Combat Training' locations accessible through the teleportation menu. The difficulty of each monster is outlined by colour; starting with green as the easiest and red as the most challenging.
