Attack Speed is determined primarily by the default Attack Interval on weapons and affects how long it takes between attacks. It is given as seconds per attack, so a lower number is better. A variety of things, such as Equipment, Pets, Spells, and Prayers can provide a reduction to the player's attack interval.

The base attack interval for all weapons can be seen on the Equipment page.

In addition to the sources listed in the table below, the following things can reduce the player's attack interval:

Slow and Frostburn Debuffs
Guardian Amulet has its effect doubled when the player is below 50% HP, for a total attack interval increase of 20%
