==The Early-Early Game: Levels 1-40==
{{ItemIcon|Steel Sword}}
Early on, the game is primarily about leveling up your core combat stats, getting a feel for the combat systems, and acquiring basic combat equipment.
 
All three combat styles are connected. It is impossible to use only one style throughout the game if you wish to complete all content. The [[Combat Triangle]] determines how much damage and damage reduction you have against enemies of each different combat style, and is very important in choosing how to approach combat.
 
It is highly recommend to level all styles to not be in the position where you finished are almost ready to take on a dungeon that requires a specific combat style, and then have to level that skill from level 1 for 2 weeks.
 
===Major Goals===
The earliest for most players is the {{UpgradeIcon|Auto Eat}} upgrade, purchased in the shop for {{GP|1000}}k, followed by the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Looting}}, found in the {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}, which will make combat a fully automated activity. Beyond that, it's mainly a matter of learning how combat works and leveling up your skills.
 
* [[Auto Eat]]
* [[Amulet of Looting]]
* {{MonsterIcon|Fierce Devil}}, {{MonsterIcon|Bandit}}, and {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}}
 
===Leveling Guidelines===
As the player is just being introduced to combat, this section will try to be as simple as possible, while also setting some guidelines for the rest of the guide. The tables in each section in this entire guide will generally provide bare minimum recommendations. Some notes on how to use the information given:
* The player must have an appropriate [[Auto Eat]] level and won't run out of food.
* The player has enough [[Damage Reduction]] to survive against enemies when [[Auto Eat]] is not enough by itself.
* Armor should be upgraded from the Bank screen whenever possible, this is possible for all {{Skill|Defence|Melee}} armor and {{Skill|Ranged}} armor starting with {{ItemIcon|Green D-hide Body|Green D-hide}}
 
For the first section, there will be no cape, amulet, rings, {{Skill|Prayer}}, {{Skill|Herblore|Potions}}, {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses, or {{Skill|Agility}} obstacles. With proper bonuses, the player can attempt much more difficult content. Some notes on the first section:
* All assumed skill levels are equal to the ones required by the set of gear.
* When choosing a proper monster to farm, it is recommended to follow a priority rule:
# Drops something that you want.
# Is your current Slayer Task.
# Highest XP/hr.
 
Hitting the same enemy for 2 weeks because they are the "best" is a really boring way to play the game.
 
And finally, using [[Combat Simulator]] and [https://silberdrachi.github.io/CanIIdle/ Can I Idle] should be your guide over anything printed here. This guide accepts no responsibility for your untimely demise.
 
===Melee===
====Leveling====
Most players start combat with {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} as it does not require the overhead of {{Skill|Fletching}} Ammunition for {{Skill|Ranged}} or {{Skill|Runecrafting}} Runes for {{Skill|Magic}}.
 
For Melee, use {{Skill|Smithing}} to wear and wield the highest level gear available.
 
Smithing armor can be upgraded ({{ItemIcon|Bronze Helmet|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|(S) Bronze Helmet|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|(G) Bronze Helmet|notext=true}}) twice from the Bank, once with {{ItemIcon|Silver Bar|Silver Bars}} and the second time with {{ItemIcon|Gold Bar|Gold Bars}}. Typically, upgrading armor isn't really worth the extra time spent until at least {{ItemIcon|Adamant Helmet|Adamant}}.
 
Melee leveling is split across 3 different skills, {{Skill|Attack}}, {{Skill|Strength}}, and {{Skill|Defence}}.
* {{Skill|Attack}} is trained using the {{Skill|Attack|Stab}} Attack Style
* {{Skill|Strength}} is trained using the {{Skill|Strength|Slash}} Attack Style
* {{Skill|Defence}} is trained using the {{Skill|Defence|Block}} Attack Style
 
In general, all Melee weapons have Stat distributions that encourage the use of the following Attack Styles:

===Ranged===
Same as Melee, you should be doing the highest XP/hr monster with the highest possible gear. Due to the slower attack speed and the relative difficulty of {{Skill|Fletching}} large amounts of bolts, you shouldn't use {{ItemIcon|Bronze Crossbow|crossbows}} until you have the {{ItemIcon|Dragon Crossbow}} or better. For bolts, anything worse than {{ItemIcon|Emerald Bolts}} is sellable. Save the {{ItemIcon|Diamond|Diamonds}} for {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV|Diamond Luck IV Potions}}.
 
====Leveling====
{{Skill|Ranged}} has a lot of options to do great damage, particularly to {{Skill|Magic}} enemies that may be very difficult to beat with Melee.
 
For Ranged, use {{Skill|Crafting}} to obtain the highest level Armor, and {{Skill|Crafting}} to obtain the highest level Weapons and Ammo.
 
Crafting armor can be upgraded ({{ItemIcon|Green D-hide Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|(U) Green D-hide Body|notext=true}}) once from the Bank, using more of the raw {{ItemIcon|Green Dragonhide|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Blue Dragonhide|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Red Dragonhide|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Black Dragonhide|Dragonhide}}. Upgrading Ranged armor is always recommended once it's available.
 
Ranged has three different Attack styles, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}}, {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}}, and {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}}:
* {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} increases your Hidden Ranged level which causes each attack to be more accurate and deal more damage.
* {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} lowers the attack interval of the weapon by 0.4 seconds, making each attack significantly faster
* {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}} increases your Hidden Ranged Level by less than Accurate, while also giving Hidden Defence Levels and evenly splitting the amount of XP earned between {{Skill|Ranged}} and {{Skill|Defence}}.
 
In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels. The cutoff is approximately level 40. {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}} should likely be used before this cutoff to also get an amount of {{Skill|Defence}} XP!
 
Ranged has several different Weapon types to choose from, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. For the early part of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source:

===Magic===
 
====Leveling====
'''See [[Magic/Training]]''' for an alternative way to level magic with non-combat Spells.
 
Magic is a time consuming but rewarding Combat Style due to the sheer prevalence of {{Skill|Attack|Melee}} enemies. Dealing more damage and taking less damage from the most common enemies in the game is fantastic.
 
For Magic, use {{Skill|Runecrafting}} to obtain the highest level weapons and armor, as well as to create runes to cast spells.
 
{{Skill|Runecrafting}} armor does not need to be upgraded to provide Damage Reduction, appropriate level Robes will automatically provide this stat.
 
Magic has two different Attack styles, {{Skill|Magic}} and {{Skill|Magic|Defensive}}:
* {{Skill|Magic}} increases your Hidden Magic level which causes each attack to be more accurate and deal more damage.
* {{Skill|Magic|Defensive}} increases your Hidden Magic Level less, while also giving Hidden Defence Levels and evenly splitting the amount of XP earned between {{Skill|Magic}} and {{Skill|Defence}}.
 
In general, {{Skill|Magic|Defensive}} is always the most effecient Attack Style to use, as training {{Skill|Defence}} with {{Skill|Magic}} uses the least amount of time and damage while remaining efficient.
 
Combat Magic has a ton of options to choose from, mainly based on the amount and type of runes required to cast each spell. Curses and Auroras can add a lot of damage, but are entirely optional as they increase the amount of runes required to
 
It is recommended to choose a spell, staff, robes, and aurora that use as many of the same primary {{ItemIcon|Air Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Water Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Earth Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Fire Rune|Elemental Runes}} as possible.

|-
|}
 
Each non-Wind spell also has the option of using {{ItemIcon|Mist Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Dust Rune|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Smoke Rune|Combination Runes}} which can be much more efficient and are always worth more {{Skill|Runecrafting}} XP. When using combination runes, you should look specifically to synergize your staff with whichever Aurora you're using, as their rune cost reduction does not apply to Combination Runes.

==The Early Game: Levels 41-75==
{{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} (and {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}} to a lesser extent) is the first real challenge the game presents to you, and preparing for it will likely take a couple of weeks of grinding for standard accounts.
 
This is where the [[Combat Triangle]] becomes extra important, and ignoring it entirely can be deadly or progress hampering.
 
===Major Goals===
The primary goal of this section is to replace all equipment and weapons obtained from non-combat skills with upgrades obtained from combat
* [[Auto Slayer]]

*** Upgrades into {{ItemIcon|Nature's Blessing Ring}} with 10,000 {{ItemIcon|Nature Rune}}
 
===Volcanic Cave and Ancient Armor===
The major goal of this section is to find and equip {{ItemIcon|(G) Ancient Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|(U) Ancient D-hide Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Robes|Ancient Armor}}
 
{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Hat|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Robes|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Bottoms|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Boots|Ancient Wizard Robes}} come from the {{ZoneIcon|Hall of Wizards}}.
* This dungeon isn't really difficult enough to warrant a guide, it is recommended to use the best available Ranged equipment to benefit the most from the [[Combat Triangle]].
* As with most Magic equipment, these robes do not need to be upgraded to get the full benefit.
 
{{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Body|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Chaps|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Vambraces|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Shield|Ancient D-hide Armor}} comes from the {{ZoneIcon|Dragons Den}}.
* This dungeon has a guide at [[Dragons Den/Guide]]
* This armor needs to be upgraded, getting the raw D-hide necessary to fully upgrade this armor will likely take longer than getting each piece of armor
* {{ItemIcon|Ancient D-hide Shield}} has a second upgrade, the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}}, which is best in slot for Ranged for a long time.
 
{{ItemIcon|Ancient Helmet|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Wizard Platelegs|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield|Ancient Plate Armor}} comes from the {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}}.
* This dungeon has a guide at [[Volcanic Cave/Guide]]
* This armor, like {{Skill|Smithing}} armor needs to be upgraded twice.
* {{ItemIcon|Ancient Shield}} has a fourth upgrade, the {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}}, which is best in slot for Melee for a long time. Upgrading this shield requires 7050 {{ItemIcon|Dragon Bones}}.
 
Due to the nature of the game, it is entirely possible to skip Ancient armor completely, and go straight to the next section. This does however require a bit more knowledge of how the game works, and is not necessarily recommended. The {{ItemIcon|Dragonfire Shield}} and the {{ItemIcon|Scaled Shield}} are two important items that should NOT be skipped.
 
==The Mid Game: Levels 76-95==
 
After acquiring and equipping all of the Ancient sets of armor and obtaining decent weapons, the player should now be well prepared to step up to the plate of the next challenge the game has to offer, Infernal Stronghold and the God Dungeons. But first, it is hugely recommended to assess the progress of all non-combat skills; each of these dungeons is difficult enough that NOT having access to {{Skill|Prayer|Prayers}}, {{Skill|Herblore}} Potions, {{Skill|Summoning}} Tablets, or {{Skill|Agility}} / {{Skill|Astrology}} bonuses can make progress significantly slower than it needs to be.
 
This section will first outline any particularly useful buffs and some crucial pieces of equipment to grab before moving on.
 
===Major Goals===
* {{ItemIcon|Infernal Cape}}
* {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}}
* {{ItemIcon|Stormsnap}}
* {{ItemIcon|Cloudburst Staff}}
* {{ItemIcon|Earth Layered Shield}}
* {{ItemIcon|Big ol Ron}}
* {{ItemIcon|Aeris God Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Glacia God Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Terran God Platebody|notext=true}}{{ItemIcon|Ragnar God Platebody|God Armor}}
 
===External Buffs===
 
====Prayer====
Preferably {{PrayerIcon|Battleheart}} and the best combat style prayer available, {{PrayerIcon|Piety}}, {{PrayerIcon|Rigour}}, or {{PrayerIcon|Augury}}.
 
====Agility====
a table or something
 
====Herblore====
Preferably {{ItemIcon|Diamond Luck Potion IV}} or {{ItemIcon|Damage Reduction Potion IV}}. Alternatively:
* {{ItemIcon|Melee Strength Potion IV}}, {{ItemIcon|Ranged Strength Potion IV}}, or {{ItemIcon|Magic Damage Potion IV}}
* {{ItemIcon|Hinder Potion IV}}
* {{ItemIcon|Lethal Toxins Potion IV}}
 
====Summoning====
For dungeons, preferably {{ItemIcon|Dragon}} and the best combat style Tablet available, {{ItemIcon|Minotaur}}, {{ItemIcon|Centaur}}, or {{ItemIcon|Witch}}. For Slayer {{ItemIcon|Cyclops}} paired with the same combat style tablets a safe bet
* {{ItemIcon|Yak}}
* {{ItemIcon|Occultist}}
 
===Slayer===
slayer drops good items, do it
* {{ItemIcon|Skull Cape}} - Obtained from the Shop for {{SC|400}}k.
* {{ItemIcon|Ancient Claw}} - Drops from {{MonsterIcon|Pegasus}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Hunter's Ring}} - Drops from {{MonsterIcon|Hunting Greater Dragon}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Wasteful Ring}} - Drops from {{MonsterIcon|Wicked Greater Dragon}}.
* {{ItemIcon|Magic Wand (Elite)}} - Drops from {{MonsterIcon|Cursed Maiden}}.
 
* {{ItemIcon|Fury of the Elemental Zodiacs}} - Final upgrade of all of the Elite Amulets. FEZ has a table that details a number of important stats on each Amulet at [[FEZ/Guide]]. If the guide has been followed thoroughly until this point, here is a quick summary of where each amulet should be obtained from the quickest:
** {{MonsterIcon|Mummy}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Strength}}
** {{MonsterIcon|Bandit}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Ranged}}
** {{MonsterIcon|Master Wizard}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Magic}}
** {{MonsterIcon|Bounty Hunter}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Glory}}, {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Accuracy}}, and {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Defence}}
** {{MonsterIcon|Fierce Devil}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Torture}}
** {{MonsterIcon|Seething Horned Elite}} for {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fury}}
*** Note that {{ZoneIcon|Deep Sea Ship}} drops {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Torture}} and {{ZoneIcon|Volcanic Cave}} drops {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fury}}, so it is recommended to finish obtaining any items from these dungeons first to help ease the grind.
