Attack can be considered one of the most important Melee Skills, second only to Strength in the Wilderness, and topping the list for Dueling.

Attack determines how often you can hit your Opponent (Accuracy) with a Melee Attack, the higher your Attack is; the more likely you will hit them.

There are several temporary ways to boost your Attack. You can either boost it's Level with Potions, or boost it's Rating with other Equipment.

Items that temporarily boost your Attack Level:

Member's Only Items Shown In Yellow
Item/Ability Level Boost
Prayer "Clarity of Thought" +5%
Prayer "Improved Reflexes" +10%
Prayer "Incredible Reflexes" +15%
Cup of Tea +3
Attack Potion +15%
Super Attack Potion +20%
Potion of Zamorak +Unknown


Your Attack Level also determines what types of Weapons you can Wear:

Attack Level Weapons
1 Bronze
1 Iron
5 Steel
10 Black
20 Mithril
30 Adamantite
40 Rune
60 Dragon

Training Attack:

There are currently only two ways to train Attack:
  1. Using "Controlled" Mode with a Melee Weapon (1.33 Experience per Damage inflicted)

  2. Using "Accurate" Mode with a Melee Weapon (four Experience per Damage inflicted)
In order to train Attack quickly and effectively you will need to be able to inflict a lot of damage often. Which with the current ways to train requires a high Strength Level. It is recommended to train Attack almost evenly with Strength. Defense is also important for leveling Strength as it lets you fight higher Level Opponents that can do some damage to you.
