{{Skill|Attack}} increases your accuracy rating with [[Equipment#Melee_6|melee weapons]] which affects your chance to hit. Higher tiers of [[Equipment#Melee_6|melee]] require higher [[Attack]] to be equipped.

{{Skill|Defence}} increases your [[Combat#Melee_Evasion_Rating|Melee]], [[Combat#Ranged_Evasion_Rating|Ranged]], and [[Combat#Magic_Evasion_Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]], which decreases the likelihood you will be hit by melee, ranged, and magic attacks. Higher tiers of some [[Equipment#Melee_2|armours]] require higher [[Defence]] to be equipped.

{{Skill|Hitpoints}} affect your maximum life total and your passive regeneration rate. After receiving damage you will heal slowly over time, the speed at which you heal is based on your [[Hitpoints]] level. In addition to passive regeneration, your hitpoints can be replenished by consuming any [[food]] you have equipped. [[Hitpoints]] experience is earned by damaging enemies with weapons or spells.

{{Skill|Magic}} allows you to cast [[Magic#Spells|Spells]] from your Spellbook provided you have the required [[Runecrafting#Runes|Runes]] in your [[Bank]] and a [[Equipment#Magic_5|magic weapon]] equipped. [[Magic]] increases your [[Combat#Magic_Accuracy_Rating|Accuracy Rating]] with [[Magic#Spells|Spells]], which increases your chance to hit while using them. Your [[Magic]] skill level increases your damage with [[Magic#Spells|Spells]]. [[Magic]] also increases your [[Combat#Magic_Evasion_Rating|Magic Evasion Rating]], which decreases the likelihood you will be hit by magic-wielding enemies. Higher tiers of [[Equipment#Magic_5|magic weapons]], and some [[Equipment#Magic_2|armours]] require higher [[Magic]] to be equipped.

{{Skill|Prayer|Prayers}} are [[Prayer#Prayers|passive bonuses]] that expend Prayer Points to remain in effect. You gain Prayer Points by burying [[Prayer#Bones|Bones]], which are dropped by [[Monsters]] upon death. [[Prayer]] experience is earned by damaging enemies and is further increased by having [[Prayer#Prayers|prayers]] active at the time damage is dealt.

{{Skill|Slayer}} experience is earned by killing enemies in [[slayer areas|slayer areas]] or by completing Slayer Tasks. Slayer Tasks also earn you [[File:Slayer_Coins.svg|25px|middle|link=Slayer Coins]] [[Slayer Coins]] which are used to purchase [[Shop#Slayer|Slayer Equipment]] from the [[Shop]]. [[slayer areas|Slayer areas]] are unlocked by raising your [[Slayer]] level.
