Raise your Combat Skill on RuneScape
Raising your combat level is kind of hard, for some people it might even be boring. But with this guide, at least when your mouse hovers over people, their name will be green and not red.
Steps
- Go to the general store just outside of the house and get the free sample bronze dagger. Head to the chicken farm, located northwest of Al-Kharid. Equip your dagger only, and set your attack style to Accurate. Kill the chickens. Be sure to bury all bones whenever you are raising any combat level, as this accrues to valuable prayer experience.Grand Exchange. Go to the GE and sell the feathers you've collected, and buy a black scimitar(2.5k) if you can afford it. If not, buy a black sword.
- Then go back to the chickens and raise your strength to 10, then your defense to 10. Be sure to keep collecting feathers to sell at GE and bones to bury.
- Buy some black armor (a full set), complete with a black scimitar. Black metal is the best thing you can wield right now, and can be purchased for only five thousand gold, at the very most. Scimitars are the preferred model of weapons, as they are a combination of speed and strength. .
- Get the boots and cash from the Stronghold of Security under the barbarian village (bring food), and get the safety gloves from the Stronghold of Player Safety in Edgeville.
- Go back to the Barbarian Village, then go south along the river. Some evil trees might attack you- just keep walking. You will reach a gated in area. Follow along the fence south, then east, till you reach the gate.
- Kill cows (lvl 2) here. Unlike chickens, cows can injure you. Eat anytime your hp lvl falls below 10.
- Bury their bones and keep the beef and cowhides.
- When you get a full inventory of beef and hides, go north and deposit them in a deposit box. If you have to eat the food you brought, click on a tree to cut it down, then use the tinderbox with the logs in your inventory to make a fire. Cook the beef on the fire. Keep killing cows until you get 20 attack, strength, and defense.
- Buy some mithril armor and scimitar and kill barbarians in barbarian village and kill barbarians (lvl 10) until you get 30 attack, strength, and defense. Sell all your drops and buy adamant armor and scimitar.
- Kill zombies in the Varrock Sewer until you get 40 attack. Then buy a rune scimitar. Kill Hobgoblins in the Edgeville Dungeon until you get 40 strength and defense.
- Buy rune legs or skirt, and do all of the the free quests. After doing Dragon Slayer do this last (Be around level 54 for this quest and remember to get food like lobsters), buy a rune platebody and train on Ice Giants or Moss Giants until your Attack is 60, Strength is 60, and Defense is 50. Ice giants are located in a cave south of Rimmington and the west of the F2P wilderness, and are the fastest experience possible for F2P players. Bring along two strength potions so you can inflict maximum damage on them and get more experience, faster and also bring food.
- Moss giants are a level 42 monster, with big bones and good drops, in the Varrock sewers that many people fight.
- Become a member. The following areas are only available to paying members. (Optional: if you want to double your rates, play the Stealing creation mini-game and buy the scimitar)
- Be sure that your combat level is in the 60's. Buy yourself a dragon longsword after completing Lost City and go to Port Sarim, whereby you can take a ship to the Pest Control island. This mini-game is the best experience for members. You get experience points for killing monsters, plus a redeemable-for-experience token to redeem with a Void Knight. Also, if you win, you get a sum of money (amount is Your combat level X 10). Go straight for the portals, and kill as many as possible before the game is over. Play Pest Control until your Attack and defense levels are 70 and your strength is 80. Another really fast way for XP is to complete the Creature Of Frankenstein quest and kill the level 25 experiments, they have 100 HP and that means you get 400 XP per kill.
- Go buy a dragon battle-axe, and use it in Pest Control to attack the portals, upon which you should do significant damage. Should you be unable to harm the portals, switch back to monsters. If the portal you are attacking is destroyed, clean up all lingering monsters and close the gates before moving on. Use this strategy until your levels are as follows: Attack and Defense are both at level 90 and Strength is 99. But remember the Whip cannot train Strength so the Dragon Scimitar/Longsword are both good alternatives.
- Continue playing Pest Control until your attack, strength, and defense levels are all 99.
- Go off and complete the Wolves Whistle quest and start working on your summoning level to gain even more combat levels.
Tips
- You don't have to do everything exactly as this guide says. Switch monsters that you fight if you get bored, or even stop fighting for a while to mix it up. Feel free to venture for yourself.
- I would suggest NOT playing pest control until combat level 75-80 because it will not be a fast enough source of XP. i would suggest training on experiments or yaks (yaks are better) until level 75 combat then when you switch to pest control and save your points until level 100 because then you get an extra 10 points free!
- Remember that experiments and yaks also are good training (200-400XP per kill).
- Be sure to raise range, magic and prayer levels periodically, as they, too, play a part in your combat level. (Range and magic only levels you up if your attack and strength combined are lower than your mage lvl: 20 attack and strength with 40 mage would mean magic levels you up.)
- Also remember that you can sell your previous armor so that you have enough money to buy your new armor.
Warnings
- If you are venturing out to kill other monsters, bring food if you are a lower or equal or tiny bit higher level(EX:moss giants level 42 be about level 60+ till they'll stop damaging you)
